Respawning civilians?
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:05:19 pm »

I was caught drinking someone's blood, so I killed the household then murdered everyone in maybe 5 other houses as they slept before hiking it before dawn (I'm trying to rack up my kills, at 800 kills in a few irl days). When I came back the next night, those houses were occupied again. I killed off half the village, but when I came back the next night most of the houses were full again. Do civilians respawn?

So the number of humans in a world is infinite?

No, they're finite, just there are not enough houses to hold them all.

Keeps memory and processing low not to load them all at once. I looked up a couple of respawn kills in Legends from a backup and found they were already created in worldgen, but have no history, no details other than name, race, gender and date of birth.

They really are respawning.  It's a known bug.
