Path Smoothing

7daystodie — Mods & Enhancements

Path Smoothing is a server-side gameplay mod for Project Zomboid that makes zombies move directly toward players when they have a clear path, eliminating the grid-based 'voxel sidestep' that causes missed shots. It improves immersion and combat accuracy without affecting pathing around obstacles. Requires disabling EAC and installing to the Mods folder.
