Superb Survivors Mod

[Rocky Jet]

Does the mod also spawn hostile NPC that roam or is it just Survivors you can team with? Thank you

It spawns both, hostile will show up more over time and friendlies less. There are options to prevent or increase both. It has a raid event too.

I caution against raising their spawn rates though, and would focus on the ratios instead if you wanted more hostiles or something. The mod can hit performance pretty badly for some people so many sure you dont boil your computer.

Thank you. I think ill leave it set to default. I got a 4090 and i9-13980. would it still make my pc hot? thank you for reply

Depends on your sandbox settings

There are like 3 Superb Survivor mods, most just improving on the other after the creator stops working on it. Most are similar, but I think "Superb Survivors Continued" is better for performance?

I have a pretty average build and with the npc mod+400 active mods it runs at a mostly stable 45-60 fps even at a medium zoom out. Lag spikes however do happen everyonce in a while during areas with lots of things.

It should run fine on your end, if problems do occur try tweaking spawn rates down or setting a spawn limit. "Superb Survivors Continued" plays around with this to improve performance. Use "Alternative Spawn" rather than the normal one as you have more control over spawn rate through that. I'd imagine all the issues come from all the extra calculations needed to track these npcs off the map that you will never ever see again.


On default settings, both neutral and hostile npcs will spawn, sometimes with a gun. Raiders can also spawn after a set time that are basically hostile npcs. They will also have a red name to tell the difference, you can turn this off. You have a chance to join or invite neutral npcs to a group, they follow, fight and farm I guess.

I'd recommend you to play with the settings, to tweak their spawns for performance and their npc nature for a prefered playstyle of shoot everything or 50/50.

I use the original Superb Survivor mod. I suggest that you turn off raider events(by turn off raider spawn but this still spawns hostile NPCs). Unless you want deal dozen of raiders who armed with shotguns and pistols every 2-3 months.
Gun-play is just a mess in this game.
Also you should set NPC spawn rate to extremely rare, there will be still too many of them, especially after you settle down.

Thank you all for the advice. I will follow it
