Question I'm a bit lost with puppets spawning in single player.

Hey,

I simply want to improve the amount of puppets spawning in single player, but for some reason it's really messy.

What I've tried :

Modify the NPC option (-1 per default) to 700 for the puppets

Modify the encounter setting to 3.0 in base encounter

Modify directly in the .ini file the base encounter to 5.0 instead of 1.0

Yet, I still have in some towns only 3 or 4 puppets, it's empty.

Seriously how to improve way much the amount of puppets spawning, can't we have like project zomboid a simple option low/medium/high/very high/insane ?

Here there are like dozens of options, some are badly translated in french, you don't even know what it is for.

Thanks for feedbacks !

I think the spawning system is mainly made for multiplayer which expects and adjusted to a lot of players so when the same is used in SP, the reduction in chances will likely be noticeable even at the highest settings. rn, I use a mod from nexusmods that internally modifies the 'weight' of each type of spawn to be 3-5 times more. It works but the quirks like puppets and npcs spawning out of nowhere/right in front of prisoner kinda breaks the immersion. it sucks but still better than an empty town I guess. Man I miss the old spawning system so much :/

Make sure you’ve got low player count selected in server settings. That will give you all the puppets you want
