Raiders may spawn randomly after the "Raiders start after this amount of time" since game start time has been exceeded.

Raiders will spawn automatically if not randomly spawned for a duration that exceeds the "Raiders at least this often" setting.

Raiders can be turnt off or customized in Surper Survivors option tab in the settings from main menu.

When a raiders event is triggered either by random chance or by raiders spawn at least this often time expiring, raiders will head for your characters location at the time they spawned. You will see a warning which is your character saying "What was that sound!?" .


Raiders do not magically know where you are OTHER THAN the fact that they do have your characters current coordinates as a destination at the moment they spawn. If you moved from that spot you were when they spawned and the raiders do not see you they will quite quickly give up trying to pursue you. If they dont see you, they will go to that location. if they do see you, they will of course chase you until they lose sight of you. So you CAN quite easily Hide from them or run away if you are not equipped for a fight. There is no need to rambo fight every raider if you know you cant take them on. You just need to keep in mind that they know your location AT THE TIME THE EVENT STARTED ONLY. So again its quite easy to run or hide from them. No guarantee they wont take up residence in your base though.

The idea is that they were aware of your base and they made a plan to try and capture it. So they saw you at one point and planned an attack. This event also makes up for all the ways this mod makes the game easier to ballence everything out.
