Houseman Mode – Entering a Building costs Zombie Kills in Project Zomboid



What if every time you wanted to go into a new building in Project Zomboid you had to pay for it with zombie kills?

That’s what we’ll be exploring today. The first three buildings we want to ‘unlock’ will cost us five zombie kills, then 25 for the next three, and then after that we’ll start doubling the cost each time.

This is sort of inspired by the tileman challenge from OSRS, so we might as well call it Houseman mode. I came up with the idea whilst watching Settleds’ Tileman series so if you’re into that sort of thing and somehow haven’t seen it go give it a watch. @Settledrs

  1. Loving these videos.

    How about how much time it takes a superman with mixed out stats at spawn to kill x amount of zombies? Race to 1,000?

    Crossing the map in x many days to get to da chopper and get extracted?

    The varied background mods can have you spawn as a specific profession with specific gear, so maybe some character focused stories?

    Night sprinters is always mental and is a great mod.

    It’s been done but a worst start play through or the mall standoff mode is also a laugh

    Hope these ideas help!

  2. If you use your traits right, you can make a 1-3 shove martial artist killing machine. Escaping a place with just your bare hands would make for some good content.

  3. Great bideo man, an interesting idea and I appreciate you as another swampman good enjoyer.
    Though I feel like it may be a bit better if it was a linear increase rather than exponential, especially as you were starting doubling at 50 as I feel that the costs becomes astronomical a bit too fast but.
    Or a flat cost dependent on type of building. I.e a one story domestic costs 10, two story 20, store 50, police station/firestation 250, mega complex (mall, mil base, prison, etc) 1000. or w/e just pulled numbers out of the air as an example.
