Wasteland Decay - Advanced Parasite Apocalypse

📋 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.

🦠 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.

🌀 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.

🏰 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.

🚚 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.

✈️ 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.

🎯 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).

🗺️ Custom Wasteland Generation

An entirely distinct world generation from vanilla overworld — structures, terrain, and biomes hand-picked and tuned specifically for the wasteland setting.

📦 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.

🌡️ 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.
