So I found a cabin in the woods few screens away from a FEMA camp and while resting and reading I heard some sounds, but since no one was trying to bash into the cabin so I just ignored them.  
Turns out a zombie scientist was was fighting something the whole night and spawned a horde of manhacks which were everywhere around the cabin.  
My suggestion would be to ether limit the amount of manhacks Z scientists can spawn or give these manhacks a limited battery life.

Manhacks operate on plutonium cells, so second variant is a no-go.

I’d rather have the limited manhack option.

Or even better - actually spawn some inactive manhacks in science zed’s inventory and make them use those.

Even even better, spawns from a limited number of manhacks, but if there aren’t any enemies in range, the manhacks get retrieved 😃

Yeah, this would be the awesomest solution.
