"Superb" Survivors

[PhalseDemeise]

Been using this Superb survivor mod for a bit and theres a few things i still cant figure out.

For one: survivors that leave the protection of my walls to idle. I tried a few things to stop it like reducing the base area, adding a 2nd layer of wall, keeping gates on the opposite side of the courtyard. The only thing i found that works is have them stand ground, but then they wont do menial tasks unprompted.

Like just now i found 5/8 behind the base. Brought them back inside and as soon as we get in they all go "im gonna (insert task)" and scatter. So i jump in by truck and go to haul wood. On the way back, at the tree line (40ish spaces from exterior wall) one come running up and jumps in the truck. Hello, ok. Then here comes the other 4 chasing the truck. Fine, I lead them back... then the spiffo mascot goes walking past in the opposite direction.


The 2nd thing is survivor farming. I got cabbage ready to harvest, but hes just running around topping of water. I got sick plants, he just ignores them. So I had to dig, plant, do the initial watering, harvest and treat the plants, while frank goes and adds that last 5 water and killing carrots. He does plant new crops now, but just anything anywhere.
I tried to give him a backpack with supply and seed, but he just threw them on the ground. Thousands of seeds, and not in a pile either.

Yep. This, among other reasons, is why I find those NPCs to be trash and not worth using at all. They are dumb and just shy of useless for anything other than being threats.

Did you go through the tedious task of setting all the areas for each task?

Not in scenario 1. But only because im still building, there is only base area and farming area. I got them stacking wood using the 'call'... realizing now they path across the base area. might be making them forget current task?

The only way i got some peeps to half ass run a base on their own was making sure each and every area was set up. and even then there a few glitches that didn't resolve until a restart.

Some things to note are that it seems that the gather commands cause them to use a 'drop all' function for their inventory. So it might take a few tries to get everyone's inventory set up the way you want, and having things piled where you want.

Still way better than having to babysit crops or clear cut a forest by yourself, at least until mp gets added to beta.

This would be ideal.

it had crossed my mind, but being as most people wont ever visit that after install, it seemed a poor choice. If they had a discord linked, id've asked there. But there wasnt.
Leaving this as the next most logical place for discussion, generally.
