Please Help, Raids Stopped, Visits Stopped

[TheARate]

I love this game. The whole progression system of starting from a single character and building up to a self-sufficient town where, along the entire way, characters must fight or run to survive.

However, I have a big problem.

Every play-through I have ends in the same way: I've built up a town and am expanding it, getting new members, and strengthening the ones already present. Until something goes missing; all faction interactions with my base.
The shek kingdom stops taking my food as tribute. Bandits stop raiding. Caravans stop coming to visit.
I'm left bored and confused as I just watch my town do its thing without a single interruption. No challenge, no interesting stuff, nothing. I just drop the game and don't play it for a while, it's broken.
Yes, I've tried reloading. Yes, I've tried importing- several times, even. I even validated my game. Yes, this is vanilla(apart from a particle-removing mod that cools my GPU down by quite a bit).

I don't know what to do, this completely ruins the game for me. I'm totally bored and just want chad bone people to break down my doors, cut off my limbs and take my food again!

Firstly, disable all mods, and play for at least 30 minutes. If during that period you get raid trigger, it would be your mods problem.

Make sure to check the raid frequency settings in the options. If those got turned down, it could easily be the issue. Also could try turning it up, see if they do eventually come.

Otherwise, would need to see exactly where your base is to get an idea of what raids should be coming. Then I can look up their conditions and see if I can spot anything that might be an issue.

Save upload wouldn't be a terrible idea either.

An old play-through of mine had my base in the forest north of the Holy Nation. I was often raided by cannibals and screaming bandits. Both stopped, and so did the trade visits.

In this current one, I settled in a pocket in the Stenn Desert, exactly where some guy settled that I was watching a series of. He didn't run into this problem, even after 100 days in game. I ran into it at 70-90 maybe? All the visits I was having before they stopped consisted of the usual merchants, the Shek Kingdom coming to take our food, as well as Kral's Chosen, Band of Bones, and Dust Bandits. All of them stopped at once, and the faction log has been blank ever since. So I don't think it's the location.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Waited a little bit. Bandits came and attacked, it seems that the issue is solved!
