Background
Few years have passed since the beginning of The White Plague.
Remaining survivors encamped in barricaded fortresses, desperately trying to survive.
You are one of The Pathfinders.
Your mission is quite "simple": rediscover the World.

Objectives

• Discover all locations on the island
• Search and destroy bandit camps
• Establish contact with other survivor groups
• Gain access to military compounds inside Zone

Features
Zombies

• Random spawning as well as pre-placed hordes
• Few different types, large number of looks
• No loot drop (that's on purpose to reduce server frames impact)
• Faster and more aggressive during  night time

Bandits

• Two bandit factions plus 'renegades' - hostile to everyone
• Bandits may wander around, set up camps or hunt down specific player

Random loot

• Random loot spawning inside houses in pre-placed furniture templates
• Building type affects quality and quantity of loot (military buildings yield more loot)

Thirst and Hunger

• Characters will be affected by thirst and hunger.
• Double click on any item from inventory to use it
• Empty bottles could be refilled at any water source (pump, well, barrel)
• Dirty water increases Radiation Exposure

Radiation and Viruses

• Random irradiated areas as well as one large zone around Airfield affected by deadly virus
• Gas masks will grant some protection against radiation and full protection against virus
• Radiation poisoning will periodically damage your health
• Anti-rad pill reduce radiation exposure
• Geiger Muller Counter is required to measure radiation levels
• Contamination Detector required to warn about virus presence, otherwise it will just kill you with no warning

Immersive Weather

• Typical Scotland Ravage weather
• Sporadic dust storms (hoping to find way make them radioactive too at some point)
• Very dark nights! And I mean it. No, seriously!
• Make sure you have flashlight on your weapon and some flares, otherwise you risk being stuck in pitch-black darkness

Experience

• Discovering map locations, finding and clearing bandit camps will give experience
• Experience only given to first survivor (or group) that discovered location
• Exploring certain locations (Survivor camps, Harbors, etc) bring more experience
• Teamkilling has a serious XP and $ penalty
• TK on purpose will result in ban

Trade

• Once per life there's an option to buy "Rank Equipment" from Gear Trader, options will depend on you level
• Variety of items available at shops (as well as discounts) will depend on character's experience level
• You could pass money directly to other player (F2 key)
• High-end weapons, body armour and clothing cost more then ordinary equipment
• Electronic gadgets provide best price/weight ratio, far exceeding anything else
• Radios cannot be sold to traders, but could be used by other players
• Use weapons with cheap ammunition to kill Zombies (pistols, shotguns)

Survivor Camps

• Immersive trade hubs, populated with survivors
• Finding Survivor Camps will enable new respawn points
• Players may be required to provide help to defend against hostiles
• 'Minefield' signs are there for a reason!

Vehicles

• Random vehicles spawn around the island as well as few pre-placed
• To repair vehicle you'll need Toolbox, Fuel Can and few spare Wheels
• Vehicle with no owner could be claimed with scroll menu option
• Claimed vehicle could be locked (U key) and stored in the Garage (Sergeant Rank or higher)
• You can pass key from the vehicle to other player (F3 key)
• Empty Fuel Cans could be refilled from Fuel Pumps or from another vehicles (Hose required)
• Vehicle must be stored in Garage in order to be saved upon server restart

Fuel Consumption

• Vehicle fuel consumption is severely increased compared to vanilla game
• Consumption rate depends on RPM, speed, passenger number, etc
• Keeping RPM within green zone as well as take foot off pedal on slopes might be good idea to conserve fuel

Fast Travel

• You can pay mercenary boatmans to bring you on the other side of the island

Persistence

• Player's characters saved on their location with all loot and equipment they have at the moment
• Vehicles stored inside Garage will be saved with all items inside
• Vehicles left outside garage will be lost upon server restart

For detailed information read Beginner Guide for Ravage

Known Issues

• Weapons and vests not spawning inside furniture
• Vehicles not saved and will disappear upon server restart
• Killing enemies doesn't count towards experience level (only discovering new locations does, for now)
• DO NOT QUIT when standing on pier! Upon loading you WILL find your character stuck inside textures. Use Radio Alpha (0-0-1) to debug.

Placed Mission/Server announcement on BIS forums https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213288-spmpcoop-b2-ravage-malden-persistent-survival-game-mode/

Dave, can you help me with Reddit announcement?

[Pte _<Dave [RES]]

Used the details from the BI post for reddit. The arma sub doesn't allow for server advertisement so its up in /r/findaunit

[Cpl Bl2ck Dog [RES]]

Ok, thanks, man.

So how's teh development coming? If your going to continue i'm wanting to try this out sometime soon. Do you have a short description we can use for media purposed etc as I would like to this as well as other gamemodes advertised by us more so starting to work on some promotional stuff, essentially just what you'd like to see said, main elements of the gamemode and then i'll add some pics from above in

[Cpl Bl2ck Dog [RES]]

Works fine, mission looks pretty much how I wanted it. There are couple of problems related to Ravage and Shop System, but only mod authors could solve that.

There are couple of regular players and people are asking if we play as a team sometimes - sadly, my PC is disassembled at the moment, so I can't play or fix anything.
Are you about to play on saturday? If that so, you could post message on a BIS forums, probably going to get few public players to join in.

[Cpl Da Capin]

Cammy has his mission tomorrow but i'd be happy to do some promotion for next weekend? I'm glad to hear this will be continuing cause you've put a lot of work in and sounds like it's a very fun mission.

If we could have a sit down at some point for a media discussion onit so i can figure out some of the details etc and i'll get an advert done for it. Does Zeus work on mission, it would be for making a promotional video?

[Cpl Bl2ck Dog [RES]]

Zeus is on, admin password as usual. I'll try to hop on TS on Sunday, but if anything - could always reach me on Facebook.

Yay, getting some positive feedback on BIS forums.

[Cpl Bl2ck Dog [RES]]

Good news for all lone-wolfs out there! Added AI-recruitment module (Spyder Addons), now you can add up to 3 AI-survivours to your group.

But that's not the best part... they can be revived, plus they will attempt to revive player!

[Sgt Sabre]

Thinking more for other Game modes, but could you put an AI medic at a med tent who will full heal?
