This is interesting, I guess I will see how this works out.

Will you explain AttackLoot a bit more? What do you mean by the "Do Not Attack" Sign (Does this mean a Billboard or a Sign that says "Do Not Attack", if so, is it case sensitive)? Do you plan on making a video for this stuff as you did for the Resource Management?
Very cool idea.

The Do Not Attack" Sign is in your engrams level 1, make and add the sign and it will stop the raiding NPCs from targeting structures within about 200 meters and will not spawn if no targets exist, you can add more than one if your base takes up more room just add a sign every 150 meters or so

I have read the first post and can not see anything about the file that these settings have to go into. I did see another post say about the file "GameUserSettings.ini". Is this the file these settings go into? Thanks for you help.

the npc attack directly on the base, they don't appear at a certain distance, you can't do much when they spawn.. I disabled the attacks, but they still appear

Dear @ZoneKiller,
to remove it instert into Game.ini the entry :
OverrideNamedEngramEntries=(EngramClassName="EngramEntry_ZKs_Sign_C",EngramHidden=true)

Can you evaluate to add on next update a parameter to disable it by GameUserSettings.ini?

Thanks

How long is one of those "attack loops"?
And if there are more bases located on the map- will a random one be chosen?
