How to get a ton of cannibals and mutants to spawn and attack your base?
I got a pretty nice base and have already beat the game and want to fight tons of cannibals so to speak to just have fun. I want alot of mutants too, maybe 10 or so at a time. Is there any way to do this besides spawning them in (If you can even do that) maybe a mod or something i can change in the console to make mutants and cannibals spawn like crazy? I already get a lot due to the fact i live next to the giant sinkhole. Would love some help!

Here's the in-game developer/command console https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1087524589 you can spawn guys with that

I was looking for something more "natural" for say than just spawning more in. Maybe a command or something to increase the over all rate and size of spawning? Not just "Spawn 10 Armsy."

Ah, well, I THINK mods can be used for that, not sure; never used them

Build a ton of Bonfires https://theforest.gamepedia.com/Bonfire

Apparently they attract enemies.


Going ham with the Chainsaw, cutting down multible trees at once also attracts attention.

Combine the two maybe.

Building on patrol routes is the best way to naturally get them. I did a video on it. Land bridge is one of the best spots for conflict. Building in cannibal villages isn’t the best as they’ll spawn in your base.

Can definitely confirm. I'm on day 30ish, and I've set up a small camp on the beach next to the western land bridge. Lit a bonfire and a small effigy at roughly the start of the night, and by mid-morning I had 21 cannibals of various types show up (groups of 6-10), and a random virginia. Filled a bone box, with enough left over to top up everything I used in the fight.
These all sound good, ill have to try some. Any more ideas are still welcome :D

Question, would i have to burn those bonfires to get the effect or just build them?

Burn them, also the Cassette Player must be attached to trap in order to work.

Vanilla gameplay No not really, yea you can use fires and stuff like that. Your best bet would be to build a base on a well traveled patrol path. You will still be lonely unless rng is on your side, most times its not. The people who dont want more enemies seem to get it while those of us who do never get em lol.

If you use mods then yes, unless all of em are outdated.
Use the mod that increases cannibal spawns.

This next mod maybe to outdated to work, it used to work perfectly though. Made all enemies on the map come to you. http://www.modapi.cc/mods/index.php/Entry/26-Center-of-attention/
