SmoothZombieNetworking is mainly worth checking through spawn rules and encounter density, enemy health, damage, speed, and special effects, server spawn load and loot bags, join path, client files, and server files, server rules, EAC, permissions, and admin recovery, and multiplayer sync, disconnect, and restart behavior. Do that in a copied save or test server before changing a main world.
Use Nexus Mods listing for exact file names, branches, screenshots, and update notes, then confirm the in-game behavior listed above still works after a restart.
- Check day, night, biome, POI, wandering horde, and blood-moon behavior separately.
- Test common enemies before judging bosses or high-tier fights.
- Watch FPS, network load, corpses, loot bags, and cleanup timing on multiplayer worlds.
- Test with a second client before inviting regular players.
