Greetings,
I searched the forums and am unable to find the best way to change the number of zombies spawned. I don't want to change their spawn locations right now, I just want to decrease the number.
Thank you!

You can look at global.xml
Never played around it but it should impact total amount of Z count on map
This is the Max amount of Zombies can spawn in map at a time, usually on High pop servers
It doesn't change Static or Dynamic event of Zombie spawn
In most areas Zombies spawns are Dynamic, Which means if a player is close proximity then the Zombie will spawn in

Interesting. I am new to DayZ server admin tasks but not new to server admin and development. I don't see anywhere I would update code. Do you have a link to where I can learn more about this?
I have been making all of my updates in the XML files.
Thank you!
If you're doing this from Laptop you can download FileZilla FTP app
then connect to it using your FTP credentials where you can find it on dashboard
I changed the zombi_territories.xml in the env-folder and reduced the smin/smax both to 1 and increased the dmin/dmax so there are less static zombiespawns on the map and now the zombies spawn if a player is in range. that reduced the servers RAM by half with doubled zombies in the map.
So you could decrease the smin/smax to zero and change the dmin/max to a value of your choice to get less zombies and improve server performance.
Hope this helps.

I do use FileZilla and it does make things easier.
Thank you!
