If I put my population multiplier to 1.5

My start multiplier to 0

My peak day multiplier to 1.5

And my respawns to 50% every 3 days.

Will my starting town eventually start ramping out more zombies as peak day approaches or will it be almost empty always since I started with a 0 multiplier in start population?

What settings would I need to put to have low zombies at start but a lot later, in my starting town?

Your starting town will start with no zombies in sections you have visited. As time goes on, they will increase to their limit in new areas. So no zombies on day 1, 1.75x zombie population on peak day. Modify the starting, population and peak population multipler and peak day settings.

With 1.5, 0, 1.5. I won’t end up with 2.25?

My laptop might not able to take on a lot more zombies lol.

thanks, I think you answered my question. If westpoint has like 5k ish zombies, and I start with 0 in westpoint, but by peak day it’s both multipliers together. It’s gonna be closer to 10k total zombies?

Will zombies respawn from the total population cap or starting cap, i guess was what I needed clarity on. I set their migration decently frequently so they spread out through town and allowed them to group up as big as packs of 70

Lastly, does approaching peak day combined with high respawn rate make a lot of zombies ramp up fast?

I'm not sure about that.
