More survivors

[brulis2]

I'm no expert in this game, but it seems to me that six survivors is the cap, unless you use mods. I would love to be able to increase my encampment with more survivors, whether through rescue or through quests of some kind. Any there any developer plans to go in this direction?

Depending on the seed in the Crash landing scenario or if you play any of the other two scenario there might be a cap.
In crash landing it's pretty much rng if you find any through expeditions. It can cap you at maybe 6 or 8 depending on your seed or even go up to 12 and maybe beyond. I had 12 in one of mine.
In the Trader Scenario you dictate the cap to the number of people you hire via the pod.
In the military scenario you are capped at the number of people you start with. No option to find any or hire more.

12 would be amazing.

Give the Trader Scenario a try i would say. Bit different with the hire people aspect and making money but you can go really big with the number of people if you can afford it. Without mods.

I doubt the devs will add more as you have objectives to complete in order to win, and survive forever is not really one of them.

The Trader Scenario doesn't really have an end. Even after you buy the planet you can continue.

There's not really a hard cap, and you could potentially get up to beyond a dozen survivors. It all depends on which seed you're playing on, as well as RNG, in Crash Landing. In Trading Outpost you can hire new workers via the Trading Pod.

You can continue playing after you complete both the Military Outpost and Trading Outpost scenarios, essentially letting you survive forever :)

I don't understand why searching for other survivors of a crash wouldn't be priority no.1 after securing your basic needs (food, water, shelter). Surely thats what most people would logically do in such a scenario? In this game it feels more like an after-thought; something to do if you can be bothered to save scum or have the time.

I totally agree with the OP - I'd like to see more emphasis on searching for other survivors (like in Frostpunk) and the % chance of finding one increased.

Could be a own scenario for this. Rescue survivors that each would come with its own challenges to overcome. This game have so much untapped potentional.
