Where are the NPCS?

[Alex]

I could have sworn I saw some NPCs and some point in the past. Yet can't find any of them. Truth be told I've been sucking a lot at survival so maybe it's related to the time I spend being, you know, alive?

Unless you mean the really old builds which had them or you used the mod/s based on that old code there are no NPCs other than zombies atm, Build 42 will be adding animal NPCs with the following builds being focused around human NPCs.

[Alex]

I saw them a long time ago and I never used mods, so yeah, I guess the really old builds. So they are not in game as I understand. Ok, thanks for letting me know.

As they said the next few major updates are emphasizing NPCs but they are not in the current build. There is, however, an unofficial mod in the workshop you can download called Superb Survivors that adds NPCs to the game.

Estimates based on nothing inside my head:

Build 42, like a year away.

Build 43, (human NPC) a year and 6 months away.

Build 47 (NPC nearing final form) 2.5-3 years away. 4 maximum.

Thanks for listening to my tedtalk.

Let's just be honest. NPCs aren't ever happening. Ever. That's my super hot take.

[Magnate]

I eated them.

There are mods that add NPCs, but otherwise they only existed in old builds.

Though animals are planned to be added.
And eventually people NPCs will be added, they’re on the roadmap.

I mean, they are in roadmap, just gonna take awhile.
Also I’m not personally too big on idea of NPCs but that might be just me.
I’m just hoping there’ll be option to disable them.

The zombies will disable the npcs for you. Except they won't because all the zombies will have rotted away before the npc update.

If npc's come in the next 5 years I'll eat my balls

They re out there but wearing zombie skins, under disguise.

Jokes a side more than a couple npc mods at the workshop, including settings for their equipment and their settlements. Including the npc dog companions.

From what I have noticed for the short time I have been playing around with mods, traits, maps and settings, the player can change the game drastically by using the mods.

Well, now we can't add them for 5 years, for the sake of this user's testicles.

If npc's don't come out by tomorrow noon I'll eat my balls and his balls.

People said the same thing about multiplayer. They're both big undertakings, and one of them is here. I like that they're starting with animals, it should lay the foundations for human NPCs. If thats the idea. Pathfinding, decision making, optimization... should translate well to humans. And the fact that a mod already exists for NPCs, and has for a while, means its possible. xD

He made his own bed, so by all means NPCs!

If you start a server with all the people asking for NPCs you'll have your problem fixed.
