If morale hits 0 in the middle of Add Zombies, does the game stop at once?
The designer ruled in November 2014 that you finish placing zombies before checking morale, overturning his earlier "rules as written" reply; the checkpoints come from a FAQ quoted by players.

- Dead of Winter FAQ v1.1 · Official document · 6.2.1 When do I add and remove survivors that are killed and gained when adding zombies? · 2015-02-04
No. You finish placing the zombies for the current block and resolve the deaths, then check morale. The published FAQ lists the checkpoints: add all Colony zombies, check morale; add all non-Colony zombies in location order, check morale; resolve noise tokens, check morale. The rulebook's "ends immediately" is read as after that block. A player whose last survivor would die takes a new survivor immediately, which interrupts the sequence.
