Zones

Zones or Areas are regions of the map created by the world generator. An area defines what objects and buildings will be generated, the zombie population density, and more. When a player enters a new world, the world is randomly generated using seeds. The game is set in a generic United States, and as such most areas are drawn from American geography and culture. However, Sandswept developers do not see this is a restriction, so there may eventually be distinctly non-American areas. Every zone has a randomly generated name. Currently the name is displayed above the compass on the top right of the screen.

Mechanics

Zones vary in shape based on voronoi regions. Each zone is about 512 meters in size. In the future zones will be grouped together by theme. For example city zones will include separate zones for industrial and commercial areas. These types of zones will generate together to create larger themed areas.
