Reduces the number of boars that spawn in Fanatic's training mission. Also some mutant spawns around Rookie VIllage are disabled for the first day/week.
My first mod for Anomaly so use at your own risk.
The first time spawning into Cordon as a loner can be brutal in Anomaly. This mod tweaks the balance to make your first day in Cordon feel more vanilla. Give feedback if you'd like to see tweaks to any other zone balance.
Release Notes
- Some of the mutants spawns around Rookie Village are disabled on the first day
- Harder mutants like boars, cats, and zombie squads are rarer around Rookie Village until 1 week of in-game time has passed
- Reduced the number of boars that spawn in Fanatic's training mission from 3-4 to 1-2

NOT BAD
If you will make that kind of changes through all the game...
Very good! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Much needed. A couple of extra health packs/bandages, and more ammo would be nice. I reloaded the game 6 times fighting those boars because I knew every bullet wasted would make my life more difficult shortly after.
Theres a trick to kill 4 of them without using a single bullet. Stand behind the anomaly on the overpass. They will follow you and tget hit by the anomaly. Then you jump over the guard rail. Then they will go back and get hit by the anomaly again. Rinse and repeat. Takes less than a miute and will kill them without using a single bullet and is risk free. Make sure to make Fanatic wait on the village tho, or he will mess this up.
or and bear with me here
you run + jump out of their way as they charge you
and when you land you pull your knife out and stab them
wait... Fanatic's missions are hard?
Get yourself a shotgun and it's pretty easy! Those early game mutant spawns are also great for gaining money.
If you enjoy changes like these, by all means, go for it. Remember that Anomaly is meant to be a mod that can be changed to your liking and modded until it's barely recognizable.
This is a mod that I'll never be using, but that does not mean it's bad. It's great at what it does, so take my 10/10. You've earned it.
the reason why is hard is that regardles of your progression trough the game at that point even if you acept the mission right away
it can spawn Cats (Hard to hit and Fast as **** boy)
juvinel and baby Pseudo dogs
and whit a 1 to 2 % chanse of spawning Blood Suckers at any point next to the boars so basicly forsing you to make a new game
Nice tweaks! It's funny though, Loner actually feels like one of the easier starts because of the tutorial missions. Any chance at taking a look at the Mercs, maybe making them start neutral with Loners or just providing them with more work in their immediate area? They've been one of the harder starts for me.
There is already a mod that edits the mercs relationship with loners to neutral, I would suggest searching for it as it makes the merc start much more bearable.
Is there? I've been looking but unable to find anything.
Please attack from the top scrapped car
Boar can't attack
Yes the boars can getyou there iv been killed 3 times in top of the car (and 6 times due to un intentionaly friendly fire from fanatic)
Can help newcomers a lot. Thanks for the add-on.
Yesssssssss thank youuuuuu, killing 4 boars with a Makarov with 40 bullets was a bit... impossible
