Mod To Make Random Events Happen Often?

[Nox Tenebris]

Such as, I'm building a base in the middle of no where and a bandit raid decides to randomly attack me. Or, I'm out running around and a group of slavers comes up and nabs me. I want stuff like that to happen more often.

Some of them you simply cannot make happen more frequently, as they are often things int he world just happening to fall into place. For example, slavers showing up and enslaving you while you're downed is entirely dynamic. They had no idea you were there, they were a normal wandering squad and happened to be passing by when they saw a free slave on the ground.

That said, base attacks and raids can be increased in frequency. There is a slider in the options menu to increase/reduce their frequency. :)

I'm working on something, and it may just be a public mod in a couple of months.
the idea would be pretty much what you describe: more events, more frequently, more drama, more occasions to shout OMFG!

A shidan said, most cool things that happen in kenshi are dynamic and can not be trigered or modded, so the solution is to redesign every biome population with balance, lore, and drama in mind.

But that takes time and testing to get right, otherwise it just feels artificial.
So I guess stay tuned? currently I only have Bonefields and flat's lagoon to a promising state, and it still needs a bit of balancing(the bulk of the work, the rest is just tweaking numbers).

So then I guess I'm looking for a mod that makes the world more populated? And therefore you get more roaming squads and therefore more chances of interaction with them?

That sounds great, I'll look for it then

Don't really need a mod for that either, there are population sliders in the options menu too. :)

How do I get to those? I didn't notice any such things nor the base attacks thing. You are talking about when you start a new game and do the advanced slider, right?

[Shidan]

Nope, they are in the normal options menu, under the gameplay section. You can open it on the main menu, or by selecting it from the Esc menu. No import needed.

Oof. Thanks mate, I'll take a look at that.

I cranked those sliders some time ago and never looked back. You either level quickly, or get into hairy situations quickly, has been my experience so far vs the vanilla population settings. Overall it's more of a challenge, but also more fun.

The Reactive World mod might also be to your liking.

moving sliders is pretty fun, but nothing beats hanging in a city besieged by wave after wave of skin bandits, and nothing beats chasing one skin bandit carrying your party member across the map, hoping he will encounter something that slows him down.

Sliders are cool, but do not be afraid to edit populations, it's simple to do and enhances the drama.
Who needs nests of river raptors when you can have fogmen instead?

fun fact: flat's lagoon can resist 20 some realtime hours^^

Some overhaul mods also increase patrols, UWE for example has more factions doing more things even outside their borders. Such as HN, Skeletons, Shreks, bandits, slavers -thats all in sinners roam, HN lands.

The Viera mod on SW also introduces patrols for slavers and attack squads.

So I often get random skirmishs outside my base, I like watching it all happen.
