No walk ins on highest difficulty?

[FlyingDutchman]

I didnt get any walk ins on the maps supposed to have walk in survivors. (e.g. LACK-SHIFT) Is it due to the difficulty?

Are you sure that seed HAS walk-ins? Not all seeds do.

I never noticed difficulty affecting walk-ins when I was on a seed that I know has them.

It is one of the maps suggested because it has 2 supposed walk ins (one first 10 days or so). I m now testing again on the map "LLL"

I deleted my original response because I was going to re-do it to say what @Tiamat4esgares ended up saying before I finished typing. But yah, what he said. LOL

Well anyway, the patch a few months ago changed some of the seeds so they no longer have walk-ins. So there's that.

Obviously you have to be playing on crash landing to get walk-ins.

Difficulty has nothing to do with it at all.

Mm thats rather annoying. Do you know some current seeds that have walk ins? So far I have yet to see one ^^

I had 2 walk-ins on the OFFICE-EMPLOY seed in my current game, playing on Saltu.

The first walk-in was very early, the 2nd walk-in happened in early-to-mid Year 2.

I wonder if walk-ins though are always a specific Survivor (specific to that seed, that is), such that if you already have that survivor because you started with them you won't get the walk-in?
Just speculation on my part, as I've never played the same seed twice to test that out, and have not seen anyone mention that.

From what I have read its a pool of 4-5 people. But I have tried with different ones so that would be rather odd.

Mm just tested day 10 still nothing.

I didn't say it was on day 10, just that it was early in the game. I don't believe it was quite as early as the 10th day.

I just tested a bit more so it seems even on seeds with walk ins there is still chance involved. If I load the save file the day before the walk in and wait it may happen again with a different survivor appearing or it may not appear at all.

The walk-ins always seem to be the same day and time, but could be different survivor. I think the pool is smaller than 5, like 2 or 3. But I think it does still always happen. I still wonder if it has something to do with the campfire. Like, they come X amount of hours after the campfire is up.

Other things can maybe mess it up. Like, it's possible "big family" messes it up. I didn't get an early walk-in with "big family" when someone else reported they did.

I just tried and reloaded the day before. Didnt change anything else just waited again and that time no walk in

Interesting. I always had assumed, just based on how other people talk about it, that a seed with a walk-in was an "always" thing, but this thread is making it seem that is very much not the case.

It'd be nice to know more about exactly how it works. I assume walk-ins are "storybit" events that can be opened and looked at in the mod editor, but I've never done that to see if there's more details there.

Difficulty shouldn't have an impact on whether or not people walk up to your base. CALM-TUNE on the Sobrius biome in Crash Landing will usually have someone walk in within the first week or two. I haven't used that exact seed on the other biomes, however.
