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

update it,please!!

@Bina & @( * ) - both your errors are likely caused by the secondary mod settings, which are in the save game via the pause menu options

Bina - check your NPCs actually have food requirements on, if they are off they will refuse and the text is a bug, or if its on theres a deeper error, if you can check your latest.txt or error log for whats happening inside the game when that error pops up it should be easy enough to fix if its mod compat issues (i wouldnt hold your breath for bug fixes or updates to the mod itself but there could be patches also)

( * ) - same thing with checking the secondary options around survivor needs (i cant remember if its the exact same section or not) but xp sharing should be a setting "somwhere" in there, there are also other mods that prevent npc mods writ-large from sharing xp if you cant find a setting id look into a addon option.

general guide for windows users experiencing lag - with this mod, with other mods or in vanilla due to texture settings being high

go to steam library right click zomboid > manage > browse files and scroll to "ProjectZomboid64" (or 32, or server)

scroll down to "vmArgs" and edit the default -xmx to around 6-8 (in megabytes)

heres how my setup for 960-ish mods including Superb Survivors and minimal/no lag.
you can copy paste this (but be aware the setting here is for 15gb allocated, if you have less total ram use my "google minecraft ram" stuff to help figure out your own numbers)

],
"vmArgs": [
"-Djava.awt.headless=true",
"-Xmx15072m",
"-Xms9072m",
"-Dzomboid.steam=1",
"-Dzomboid.znetlog=1",
"-Djava.library.path=win64/;.",
"-XX:-CreateCoredumpOnCrash",
"-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow"
],

@Berry - make sure you go into your games config and increase RAM for the game by editing the -xmx value (googling minecraft ram how-tos gives you steps) for any large mods like this that include npcs and animations increasing from the default allocation to 6-8gb is a good idea, if youre running hundreds of mods alongside this and have enough to allocate consider up to around 12gb.

its so laggy

Is it a bug if I can't give food to the NPC's? They complain about the lack of it, I do try to give it to them, but red error pops up. Also, might be stupid question, but is there a conflict with building, or is it a conflict with another mod on my part? (I don't have other survivor mods on, I think)

You should update it. I've used it, and even though it's outdated and faulty, it's very good.:steamhappy:
Jul 3 @ 1:12pm 
Is this a bug? Every time an NPC levels up, it is displayed on top of my char.
So I'm constantly spammed with "Sneak +1" and so. :/
I tried with no other mod installed, it still does it.

@Nano Nanoso check if she's carrying too much load, press U or whatever you set as the group menu button and make sure she's not carrying too many items or a heavy item. If that wasn't the problem then I dunno
