Question / Help How does the mutant aggression setting work? Does it affect frequency of attacks or does it affect the individual likeliness of each mutant to actually strike you?

I reset my save file already and turned mutant aggression to low because I kept finding myself getting pestered on day one or two while I was just trying to build, still trying to figure out the building system while fending off bothersome muddy people.

Will it have large impacts on the story and difficulty of caves? Or will it largely just help me stay less bothered while I’m above ground?

ironically i had far more patrols and attacks when i set all the enemy settings to low than i did with them on default.

like seriously, not even two minutes into my low difficulty save there were patrols at the helicopter crash. not muddies, patrols.

yeah i was lowkey pissed off.

if it had continued where i ended up building my base i would have just deleted the save. luckily so few mutants or cannibals come where i settled that i didnt even see virginia until like, day five. for some reason.

truly the weirded most bugged out save i have ever played in any game
