FAR! OUT! MAN! and thanks I thought I was going to go crazy trying to figure it out. I had tried everything imaginable.

I really don't want to put this in support just yet ,figured I'd ask here, Steen has had a handful lately, yall jump in. Are any of yall using the airdrop bots, but also have craftable signals for other things like calling in choppers ect? Im getting defender bots with skinned signals, so either "Ignore_Skinned_Supply_Grenades": true, is broken, or the skins aren't being seen as valid skin IDs. Those are: 1942898011 1942906150 1942896432 1942900715 If its working for everyone else, ill continue to dig. Thanks in advance

Just to clarify, there is no option so that a player deployed supply signal, will spawn supply drop defenders? I think this answer was tangled into a post about the excavator, but just wanted to make sure. If this is in-fact the case, would you pass on to the Dev that it would probably be a pretty popular option, and many of us would dig it? I've looked at every line in the airdrop event data file and don't see it there, or in the config. Thank You

If your going to do a little work on the plugin, would you consider taking a look at how often NPCs use throwables? I like the idea of them having smoke grenades, but they start spamming them, and once it starts, it seems eternal. Unlike the other throwables, the smoke lingers. So perhaps something like 1 throwable every 90 seconds? But its really just the smoke grenades.

All in on an option for them to target TCs.

Can you set a spawn point for a specific animal? I want to do things like put some of those big cats in some of the tunnels, or a stray wolf inside a couple buildings at launch ect...

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....
