Rural zones

Rural zones are regions of the map created by the world generator. Rural zones are areas with few buildings and less zombies and supplies than urban zones. However rural zones have more trees and animals than urban zones.

Farms
Farmland is a secluded area type that is favorable to hide in. Farmland is characterized by cornfields, rural roads with telephone poles, and farm buildings. The cornfields on farmland can be used for cover, allowing a survivor to hide from the dead as well as other players. It can also, however, be a disadvantage to the player, providing a very limited view of the player's immediate surroundings. Corn can be sometimes found on the ground near the corn stalks. Grassland near farms will sometimes spawn cabbages on the ground.

The types of buildings found on farmland include:
 * Farm House
 * Barn
 * Silo

Farms always contain a barn, a farm house and one or two silos. A log cabin will rarely spawn instead of a farm house.



Forests
Forests are common secluded areas full of different types of trees. boulders, and bushes. Rural roads with telephone poles are often found in forests as well. Deer are most commonly found in forests.

Types of forests:
 * Oak forest
 * Pine forest
 * Tall pine forest

As of Build 12 only one structure spawns in a forest:
 * Log cabin



Grass plains
Grassy plains are characterized by grass fields with few trees. Rural roads with telephone poles and transmission towers can spawn in these areas.

Rocklands
Fields with many rocks and boulders scattered about. An occasional tree also can dot the landscape. Rural roads with telephone poles and transmission towers can spawn in these areas.
