Random fact. Only for S1 members.

Did you know that if Burnt Talong didn't win the name vote. S1 was supposed to be named Dissonant Oddysseys?

[SZ] Desolance Scourge – Server Launch

v1.0.0 launches at 11:30 AM

How do I install?

Check #⚠️-development!
- The first release files and installation steps are posted there
- For any issues, feel free to ping @z.eli_

Things I'd like to talk about..

Missing, unfinished or unpolished features

The launch is going to be a little wonky and crude. I expect complaints or dissatisfaction — but don't worry, fixes are coming very soon.
- UI sucks.
- Keybinds aren't pre-set yet
- Difficulty tuning is still in progress

My advice?

• Don't tamper with keybinds too much. I'd rather you not be confused when controls change after 6–12 hours. You'll get full control later, but for now I need to preset things due to heavy keybind overlap.
• Reach out to me IMMEDIATELY if the difficulty feels too harsh. This pack is NOT meant to be hard — it's a zombie apocalypse modpack with a core focus on base building and homesteading.

Matters to take note of..

Gun sources?

• Gun loot is completely disabled in regular chests for now.
• Guns are obtained only through airdrops — this is temporary until the tips system is added to explain proper sources. Ammo is found everywhere. Also temporary.

Food sources?

• This works as intended. Look for mobs named Bogged — they're moss-grown skeletons that drop seeds when killed.
• The seed type is chance-based and should help you start or fund your farms.

Survival?

• Light sources should still stop zombie spawns — even during the day, place torches just in case (assuming I set it up right).
• ⚠️ Be careful — torches are no longer infinite.

• *Woah, an announcement?? Finally?!

SERVER LAUNCH

The hold up..

After much delay, I'm to finally announce that we have a proper launch date scheduled. We got unexpectedly held up last time, but I rather took that as an opporunity to improve upon the pack more and update it to standard. That said, before we get to the date, I'd still like to take in more ideas to add to our game. Your enjoyment matters and so do attempt to provide me with content you'd like to see. While I might say your suggestion can't be added, it's definitely still worth a try to see if it fits the modpack's thematic.
- # View thread #channel ➤

So when's launch?

Definitely soon~
- An announcement will be made 30 minutes prior to launch between 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, August 8. To be perfectly clear, this is UTC+8, Philippine time. NOT my time zone.
Calendar
Saturday, 8th of August

Regarding installation..

The client:
- Just like before, a client for download that's about 3-10 mb large will be sent out to everyone in #⚠️-development which includes the steps for installation.
The modpack:
- And similarly, just like before, this client is your token to accessing the entirety of the modpack. It includes the server IP, the encryption token for auto-installation of updates, and the whitelist synchronization with our discord server.

Other notes:

-# - A reminder that leaving this discord server automatically revokes your access to join the minecraft server.
-# - Any bugs, issues and crashes regarding the modpack should be sent in #❓-reports and not #💬-chat.
-# - After launch, any content suggestions can instead be sent in #👋-feedbacks instead of the thread mentioned above.
-# - For any other concerns, make sure to view resources first.

Server changes...

What happened and what to do..?

Server was rehauled for [SZ] Desolance Scourge, AKA the Zombie pack. Visit and re-click through the existing roles there to claim access or fix your channels in case they didn't apply properly.
- # View ➤

What's new in the server?

Categorized roles:
- @[S1] Burnt Talong which also gives viewing access to S1 channels which is archived.
- @[S2] Distant Journeys which does the same and lets you view S2 channels that are archived.
- @[SZ] Desolance Scourge which is for our current season.
Compressed roles and intent:
- Both <@​&1529479176053063730> and <@​&1355308857945231430> were never used anyways. They will be deleted. @Ping: Announcements will be used in their place, as well as future announcements.
- Both development logs and updates will be combined in #⚠️-development similar to season 1. In season 2, we split the update logs and files but this just took more space and was redundant. @Ping: Changelogs will be consistently used for updates again.
