My NPCs are traveling great distances from their spawn monuments, exceeding their allowed roam range, I've tried restricting them to 10spawn 10 roam and in a few hours I find them 2-3 grids from their parented monument. So i did a test. I spawned 10 into RADTOWN, 1 in particular I stripped naked after it spawned in, used monument addons to trap them in there and set the suicide timer to 5 minutes. 2 hours later there all still there and the naked is doing just fine. I don't think the suicide timer is working, they just wander forever. Anyone else finding them on walkabout?

Zlug, did you find a plugin that would do what you were describing? I'm looking for one like that as well.

Is research cost fixed to scrap, or can items be included in the research cost? We cant research/craft weapons any longer in Hardcore mode. I still want the players to find that weapon first as opposed to a straight scrap research cost. I didnt want to break the plugin and try this, but is this doable? we'll use researching a revolver as an example: Category": "weapons", "Tier": 1, "ResearchCost": 150, "pistol.revolver": 1 ect.....

Second on the AlphaLoot.

Moved to Support

Can someone please explain how to use this a little bit better?

Excellent plugin if you don't want that hacked up feel of running chat commands on your server. It does exactly what it says it will do. IF you are running a hardcore server, you have to set "chat.globalchat true", or it will not work. Perhaps next update it will use both global and local chat, and this will no longer be a concern.

EXCELLENT!!! If you have a hardcore server that resets many of your convars every restart, this is the tool you've been looking for.

I did notice yesterday that a monument parented melee bot would chase you directly and for a long time. But I didn't get much time to experiment. Here's one kit of a Roving Biome bot that is behaving as described. This bot was in the Arid Biome.

I've cruised the forum, and didn't come across it, but anyone figure out how to make the melee only bots just chase your ass off? Its like they chase for a few seconds, stop, tie their shoes, then chase again, then stop, make a sandwich and chase again. Then if you turn and charge them, they stop and stare at the double rainbow. If that's how it is, then it is, what it is. Just hoping one of y'all had come across a tweak....

So, im using it to reduce the gather, one of the things i notice is say, reduced gather of a metal node, the high qual bit shows as 0 in red, but it still puts 1 in your inventory, it wont smelt, and perhaps you chop up a wolf with a reduced gather hatchet, it gives you a wolf skull, but you cant use it to make the head dress, its in your inventory, but not recognized. As your updating the PI, would it be possible make the minimum of the "secondary" gathered items 1?

Is there a way to turn off that popup info when a tool is selected? The game tip message,,,,

Option Request: Option for the Bradley to engage any TC that it finds within a set (adjustable) distance, and blast it to the ground. it'll keep all that trailer trash off of the scenic byways. Thank You for what you do Pist

Thanks for the work and the update, Is "an adjustable distance for custom message" still on the table? Discussion pg 115,?
