(Next time, sleeping with a higher caliber gun than a .22)
I used to sleep with a loaded Ganz Rustung, before they had their names changed. Those things could hit for 100 damage.

Just loaded up a backup folder and opened the map. Hadn't left the house in several weeks on this character because I had more than enough food and skillbooks take forever. I am literally surrounded by swarms of NPC's.

Apparently they breed like rabbits, holy carp. No wonder one stumbled on my house. Kind of sucks the first one to find my house was a murderous attack with no warning type with a decent pistol. While I was sleeping.

It is pretty hilarious until you are mugged every 5 minutes or shot at 20 tiles away by someone with 100s of ammunition.

Just deconstructed a charcoal forge into an electric forge. This experimental 0.A-2295 is a week or two old though.

Turn on NPC spawns for a minute, several minutes later I'm smoking a cigarette lit from the burning corpse of an NPC, gg cata, gg.

I find starting with npc's on and running into the one with a shotgun who wants you to drop your weapon (cudgel, nailboard, or even worse) is !Fun!.

I remember a long time ago an NPC demanded that I drop my fists. Since then I've never turned NPC spawning on. I probably will once they're non-terrible.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Are NPC's less terrible these days?

I treat NPCs more of an extra challenge then a feature by itself, if that makes any sense. They can function as the only enemies that can use the same equipment and weapons you can, serve as sources of useful items and as food for a cannibal PC. Of course, meeting a hostile NPC rifleman in the first day is a bit annoying, but eh.

Yes.  I've met them and they seem fluffy.  Some want to steal my shit, some are homicidal maniacs, some have humanitarian aspirations.

An awful lot of them seem to be obsessed with you killing their mom, too.

The biggest question, for me, is: Will NPC's super-stall the game trying to load their guns with socks?
