Endless mode - Is there a limited amount of people to find?
It's been about 2 storms and i just can't find more people. I'm stuck with about 300 ppl, and not using the children, and my city is pretty much stale.
I have enough resources to survive every storm easily, but as i'm in endless mode and of course i want to make my city bigger and bigger, but i'm stuck in the same size, it's kinda boring.
Right now my only aim is to get the Plan B achievement, but as it is it will take a lot of time.
I'm also having a lot of trouble to find more steam cores as i only find nothing when i explore. I'm starting to hear in my head "carry on wayward son - Kansas" everytime i have to click carry on, ffs.

Personally I've been stuck w/ only 162 people for a while now; I'm up to day 71. I've retrieved survivers at least 3 times in memory but they never seem to make it back to the city.

Few games, in serenity, survival hard and survival extreme. I always found something about 640-670 survivors.
First two storms - this is only beginning ;)

Wow, 723 people even before the second one? Right now i'm on the survival one, but on normal, i'm on day 83 and right now i have 419.
I'm already pretty much autosuficient, i don't have to do pretty much anything already, i'm just going for the achievements now, eventually i might get to 700 people, 20 automatons and the full archive, but i've already got the 75 days without automatons one and the plan B (by the time i'm writing this i have 40k coal and 12k food)

Easy, my plan when i start playing:

1. Build tech building as much possible with the starting resources (In serenity can build 3) - start research exploration.
2. Create your first scout team - save the game!
3. Explore before the first storm hit.
4. Reload the save => created the first team - go position where can find survivor.
5. If you do everything good (~ your city not dying :D) after the first storm save the game!
6. Start exploring /do explore research/create third scout team.
7 Remember where can find survivor before the second storm hit.
8. Reload the save => after the first storm - go position where can find survivor.
9. Profit :D

I got the achievements: Full house, Notting Hollow in day 28

Oh, yeeeah, i don't like that going back in save playstyle, i also find serenity pretty boring, but thanks for the info regardless, mate.

I've played two six rounds in Serenity. Each map seems to have a maximum of ~766 people.
I have one save game in Crags where I have s total population of 767 and another game in Crater where I have 766 population.

Please if anyone has a larger population I would like to know! I read a post where someone had 900 population; but I have yet to figure out how they did it.

I have found a maximum of three smaller groups of survivors and one storm shelter (large group of survivors) before the first storm and three small groups of survivors and two storm shelters before the second storm falls. After the second storm no new survivors can be located.

I rush scouts from the very beginning of the game. If everything goes well I should have the two additional scout techs researched and the two scout speed techs researched before the first storm. The only other techs I research before getting all scouting techs are bunkhouses, heaters, and hothouses. If you use child engineers and rush shrines or propoganda speekers at the very beginning and ensure your workshops are covered by them this isn't too hard to do. You will also have time to research the techs vital to surviving the first storm without losses.

I have never fully scouted the map before the first storm (I'm not sure if its possible), so its possible that there is a couple of smaller groups of survivors that I haven't found.

Basically if you are stuck with a small group of people for three storms or more then you have all the people that particular play-through will allow. As none can be found after the second storm!

I really wish I could keep expanding the city until I ran out of room, this isn't truly an endless mode as I get bored with the playthrough at around day 50, there is nothing left to do except find useless and uninteresting relics and build resource depots.

Automatons can be considered as citizens too. I had 649 citizens by the day of 75, then I built 51 automatons and got the " Full House".

Love this! (though I think you meant 649 citizens)

I have been stuck at 694 for 4 storms now in endurance mode. Can't find any steam cores or survivors at day 155...

I'm on day 158, have 640 people, and have found all the relics, and haven't found another survivor for the last 5 storms... it's driving me nuts, lol.

Additional survivor groups don't spawn once your population crosses 600. This is a protection of the game engine.
You'd have to "dip" below 600.

The trick to getting to ~900 is to find the two Storm Shelters but keep them there, then use normal discoveries of smaller groups to pump your population to close to 600, and then collect the people from the two Storm Shelters.
