Human NPCs

Description
Human NPC's

ID - 1443404076

Human NPCs came 3rd in the 2019 ARK Mod Contest


Human NPCs add Humans to the world of Ark.
You can tame them, they like to eat most things.

Human NPC villages can be protected by X Plants, (Off by Default) - This can be turned on by adding TurretsAllowed=1 in the GUS settings under [Human_NPCs]
Some Human NPC villages can grow into towns now.

Human NPC's now send out raiding parties to attack player bases. (You can put a No NPC attack sign at your base to prevent your base from being attacked)

--GameUserSettings--
--GameUserSettings.ini Setup-- link

Tame NPCs can guard your land and as they patrol it or while set in turret mode
they can collect resources that are in the area as well as look after your crops.

They will look after your Forge, Campfires, Cook Meat, Put the correct stuff into Preserving Bin and Crop Plots and even catch fish.

NPCs can be set Friendly, Savage or somewhere in between
They are here to stay so you will just have to get used to them

Please respect their culture -

Wild NPCs believe
All Thieves should be killed on sight. They now can grow X Plants for protection against Players (Off by Default).
Killing children is BAD so they do not breed.

Just add the MOD and your ready to go and if you need to tune it then adjust the GameUserSettings.ini

--Resource Management--
NOTE -- Harvest Resources must be enabled

To get them to harvest go to the menu select Harvesting and enable harvest resources
Then select Send Harvesting then select the range you want them to stay around.

They will not harvest if they are set to follow.
They will start as soon as you get them to not follow.
Even if they leave the area chasing enemies they will return back to where they were told to harvest.
To get them to harvest in a new area just take them to the area and tell them to harvest again

While the NPCs are harvesting they will go to their respective storage items and deposit items and resources that they have harvested.
The NPCs will also remove made items and transfer items to where they go, Cooked Meat to Preserving Bin, Iron Ingots to Storage Box and so on.

Bow and Spear -- Guard - Turret mode or patrol - Just set them on harvest and the will protect the workers
Noweapon (Punch), Bola and Club are used to knockout dino's and will not harvest corpses

Below is what each type Harvest (Just look at what weapon they hold)
Hatchet -- will gather stone, metal, flint and more.
Sword -- will gather wood and thatch and more.
Noweapon -- will gather berries, poop and seeds,Knockout Dino's.
Bola -- will randomly instigate an attack with Moschops, Parasaurs, Phiomias and Sheep to get meat.
Club -- will gather poop, fiber and thatch,Knockout Dino's.
Bow -- will randomly instigate an attack on small dino's to get meat.
Spear -- will catch fish.

Below is what each type uses
Hatchet -- CampFire,Torches,Forge,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
Sword -- CampFire,Torches,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
NoWeapon -- Crop-plots,Feedtrough,Compost Bin,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
Bola -- CampFire,Torches,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
Club -- Compost Bin,Crop_Plots,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
Bow -- CampFire,Torches,Feedtrough,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage
Spear -- CampFire,Torches,Feedtrough,Preserving Bin,Fridge,Storage

You can stop the NPCs using a storage box by naming it notauto
Poop no longer goes in storage boxes unless you name a storage box poopbox
then only poop will go into that storage box
Resource Harvesting is ON by default, turn it off if you want the NPCs to only patrol

You can find loot in some of the NPC,s Huts, Keep in mind that NPC's do not like thieves and think they should be killed on sight.
There is an option to add your own items VIA the GUS.INI

And lets not forget that Rise of the NPC imports a bunch of cheat methods, to make the game even more easy, introduces a bunch of engrams nobody needs and doesn't spawn all those NPCs automatically, like Human NPCs does.

This mod was good while it lasted but the modder abandoned it 2 years ago. Rise of NPCs is newer and has a lot more npcs including riflemen and better bases. Not to mention you can ride their npcs, spawn them from your very own base, craft better items with them, build ships, fight sea monsters, have npcs buff everyone including yourself, complete quests for rewards including cosmetics and tek, and make npc babies. Rise of NPCs is a way better mod.

Still the only worthwhile NPC mod, just wish we had riflemen
PrimeDraugr 7 Dec @ 8:53am 
So let´s say that the dino you were trying to tame ran into one of these npcs and they somehow mounted the dino, can you still tame the dino if you fill the torpor bar??It just happened to me and I´m trying to figure out what to do lol

Hello, I would like to create a creative base and spawn NPS humans to give them the structures that I created and I would like to give them weapons (harpoon, Net, whip) I don't know if it's possible and if it is possible can you tell me how to do it? I speak bad English and the translation of the page is bad which makes my research difficult, thank you :)

This is so good on ASA. I like how the flak bros are more cracked out and just come running out of the jungle to hit your Rex convoy with an axe lol. Realistic bobs.
