REQUIRES BUILD 41!
UPDATED TO 41.73
SINGLE PLAYER ONLY!

Caution!: Still WIP. You will likely experience bugs / issues. Pease report them on the appropriate workshop thread. Use at your own risk.

This is the Original Survivors NPC mod for Build 41 by the creator of the original Survivors mod series!

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?
This mod adds basic NPC Survivors to the game.
Right click on NPCs for interaction options
See the Superb Survivors tab for settings in the Main Options Menu

Random NPCs will attempt to find a weapon then food and shelter and will barricade and hold up in a base.
Your can invite them to join your group and if successful you can give them orders with right click or group UI by pressing U key
These NPCs can do various tasks around your base such as chopping,gathering, foraging, guarding,farming,doctor etc.
NPCs can be hostile, and there are raider events were groups of survivors attempt to take over your base.


WHATS NEW?
A Quest system has recently been added, currently there is only a few quests in game but more to come.


WARNING: It is not recommended that you have any other S* Survivors mods enabled at the same time as this one.

FAQ

Q: Why so many different NPC/Survivors mods. which one is best? which one(s) should I enable?
A: I began the "Survivors" NPC mod series back in build 39 with the "Survivors!" Mod. With each major base game version update a separate mod was created to fix/support the base game changes. Build 40 was "Super Survivors!" Mod. Then with build 41 the Animations build we made "Superb Survivors" . Eventually I became inactive in the PZ realm. During this time when this mod was not being updated due to my absence, other community members took it upon themselves to try and create fixes/improvements. Copies of the Mod were made and improvement/fixes/features made/added. Some addon mods were also made where the intention is to have both mods enabled.

Currently I believe this Original workshop now has copied in most of the many fixes/improvements/features that mod copies have implemented, and therefore I suggest you use only this original mod, because using multiple mods that were copied from each other can have unpredictable outcomes/bugs/issues. Any mod meant to "addon" to this mod SHOULD be fine as well. If another Survivors mod has a feature you like but you don't see in this original workshop here, please leave a note in the appropriate discussion forum, and we'll try to get that feature added.
If you feel you deserve to be mentioned in the credits here for any code/contributions you have made to this survivors mod serious over the years please PM Me and we will get that corrected.

Q: Does MP work?
A: No

Q: Will MP ever work with this?
A: Not likely

Q: Why Can't I see my Cursor?
A: You need to Turn on the "Always Show Cursor Setting"

Q:Why do the Survivors walk so slow/stuttery?
A: Set FPS cap to 60, do not use "No Cap"

Q: Do I need to start a new save?
A: No you should not need to. However note if your save is like currently 6 months in and you have raiders set to spawn at least every month, then raiders will spawn as soon as you start game

Q: Some survivors seemed to have dissapeared. Anything I can do?
A: If any survivors de spawned for illigitimate reasons, they will respawn when you exit / re enter game. Or if they survivor is part of your group, just press U key and they should respawn.

Q: Will there be any AI Improvements?
A: I'd sure like to be able to spend time on improving the AI. But so far most of my time has been spent just with fixing and compatibility and such. And there is still plenty more of that to do so not sure... If I find the time to I'd like to.

Q: What mods are supported?
A: unsure at this time, more testing and updated list of mods to come soon

@social organization: you might want to try alternative/similar mods, i use cheat menu rebirth with bikinitools and "building menu" which combined gives you creative/god mode and the all in one vanilla+mod constructions UI with added tools like auto-pile corpses or auto-chop trees

I'm very upset. This mod conflicts with the build cheat mod, preventing me from building. I hope it can be fixed as soon as possible.

update ts :(

@Sweet Android, i feel your pain, though based on Nolan saying folks can DM them to request credit i would guess DMing them might be better chance of getting a reply, and if you cant get a reply it might be best to make your patch a stand alone mod so you dont need the direct permission to share the file (since it would be your own work)

@Flint I bet so, but what I mean is, he hasn't explicitly stated we can do whatever we want with the mod as long as we credit him, right? Like the author of Shortwave Survivors did at the bottom of their mod's description. Because, how hard it is to contact Nolan? Nolan if you're seeing this can I continue the work on this mod? That was my shot

@Sweet Android, you should get permission before distributing a mod if it includes another modders work, if its just a patch or addon that doesnt include their work you dont need permission (but giving credit is still a good idea)
Jun 9 @ 1:13pm 
Do I need to ask nolanritchie for permission to upload my own version of this mod (basically this mod but updated with more stuff) or I can just upload it and credit him?
Jun 7 @ 7:07pm 
I think I just fixed the compatibility issues with Shortwave Survivors: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3740737893 or search for "[BETA] Superb Survivors + Shortwave Survivors Alt Spawning Fix" or something like that

Most modders are. Especially with the ramp of of releases this year, who wants to cobble the mod into a working state only for an update to drop the next day that breaks it all down again?
Jun 6 @ 9:15am 
Then again Nolan has been making mods since before cars were even a thing in Zomboid, I'm willing to bet he's waiting for B42 stable. I wasn't even expecting for Super Survivors to be released on B41 when the mod suddenly came out!))
