The wasteland doesn't forgive. Scavenger convoys roam the dust, armed factions gun each other down over scrap, and something under your skin is starting to change. Pick your class, watch the horde-portals crack open, and pray the supply plane finds you before the parasites do.
π Full Description
Wasteland Decay is a hardcore survival modpack built around one evolving threat: parasites. This isn't a reskinned zombie apocalypse — it's a fully reworked world, economy, and threat system designed around infection, scarcity, and escalating horror.
π¦ Redesigned Parasite Evolution
The core hook of the pack. Parasites evolve on a slow, deliberate curve from day 0 to day 100 — manageable at first, then brutally unforgiving once you cross the threshold. No two runs feel the same once the infection starts climbing.
π Horde System via Portals
Periodic hordes spill out of unstable portals scattered across the wasteland, forcing you to fortify, flee, or fight on your terms.
π° Tower Defense Endgame (100+ Days)
For survivors who make it past the curve: turrets, traps, reinforced defensive blocks, dedicated crafting lines, and a full guidebook to help you build a real last stand.
π Living Wasteland — NPCs & Factions
- Survivor traders passively generate across the map, each trying to scrape by in the wasteland — trade with them or watch them struggle to survive on their own.
- Armed factions spawn dynamically, capable of turning on each other, on players, and are hostile toward parasites by default — the wasteland has its own three-way war going on with or without you.
βοΈ Vehicles via Create Aeronautics + 5 Addons
Cars, trucks, helicopters, and planes are woven directly into wasteland generation using Create Aeronautics and 5+ compatible addons. Significant work went into making every vehicle survival-friendly: realistic refueling, a real road network tying settlements together, and vehicles that are intentionally hollow and under-powered with no built-in weapons — the arsenal is entirely up to you.
π― 4 Specialized Kit Starts
Choose your role from day one — Commando, Engineer, Paramedic, or Support — each with its own gear and playstyle (yes, the class lineup should feel familiar to fans of a certain co-op horde shooter).
πΊοΈ Custom Wasteland Generation
An entirely distinct world generation from vanilla overworld — structures, terrain, and biomes hand-picked and tuned specifically for the wasteland setting.
π¦ Aerial Supply Drops
Call in air support with supply crates: Ammo, Medkit, Weapon, and Common crates, each drawing you out into the open to secure the drop.
π‘οΈ Full Survival Systems
Thirst, hunger, cold, and a classic hardcore-realism death/respawn loop stack on top of extreme heat and radiation zones — every resource matters, every trip outside is a risk.
