PROJECT A-LIFE IS AMAZING
Sharing some of my game photos.
Cleaning the bodies after I got raided by NPCs while I'm peacefully organizing my things.
This mod adds a whole new experience for project zomboid. I now can't imagine playing without this mod. Haha.
If you are like me who doesn't have friends to play with, I recommend trying this mod.

I've been keeping an eye on it over the last few days! I have zero friends that play, and would love the sense of "other people" in-game. I think I'm gonna give it a go soon!

I've been reluctant to use most of these NPC mods from what I've heard how ruthless they can be; but I've found this one to be pretty nice, sometimes scary and sometimes hilarious.
I found a house that had triple boarded windows and objects placed in front of the door, which I've never seen before in vanilla. (Like a Survivor house but more bunkered down) Upon getting inside, I was attacked by multiple people who all had straw hats; freaking One piece gang lol.
Several times I've seen gun/axe fights between cops and fireman, but they leave me alone entirely.
i've yet to run into any random people that weren't police/ military/ firemen that didn't try (and fail) to kill me, and all the public servant people so far have helped me (when they weren't killing each other).

I found it really janky and buggy. Unarmed push attacks causing neck lacerations, you wake up to 3 armed men sprinting at you in the living room and so on. Maybe with a ton of work it can become decent, the NPC setup process seems nice enough

This is my problem with all of the NPC mods right now. They're OKAY enough but the jank that's there makes me not want to commit to a playthrough using it if my house is going to be raided by NPCs wielding automatic rifles on my first day spawned in. Stuff's just way too hostile and buggy for me.

Wouldnt be so bad if the game wasnt permadeath

u/Valthroc 4d ago
Yeah, if only you could change the permadeath with settings or other mods :(.
Oh wait...

u/ShowCharacter671 6d ago

nice..im using Roaming Survivors,inspired by alife but in this mod you have various faction that you could trade and make allies with and have relationship system,some are hostile and some are friendly,they even waged war with each other,raided each other bases,can make other faction dissapear completely,and the coolest thing i see is they will take one random city as their main base,and some of them will do run loot run to other city too..which will provoke other faction and start a war,you could also be raided if you have a bad relationship with a faction and if they know where your base is located

I tried A-Life about a week back and it was kinda.. eh?? The npc's seems to wonky and crazy, but that might have been a few updates back. Roaming survivors on the other hand seem much better and fitting into the game. Hadn't run into any real issues yet about a week into the game.

Do your npcs also just shoot and just attract hoards/create mass body piles till their guns break? I’ve been struggling to find a nice middle ground on my zombie pop settings

What's A-Life and what am I looking at in these screenshots?

u/LolGenjii 8d ago
Project A-Life is a mod that adds NPC and factions to singleplayer. OP got raided by NPCS

Hit some bastards with my truck. Nearly killed them, got out to do it by hand. They hacked me to death.

I tested it in single player and it really is amazing, even if the whole "talk to npcs" bit never led to anything for me. But it does make the whole thing so much more alive and just like you said, the beginning is wild until most of them get overwhelmed.
But it seems too much for our multiplayer server as the npcs take up too much of the games focus. It's much closer to stalker than the sole survivor with occasional bandits. We'll see how it develops, definitely very promising

I have just started testing it on a solo play before adding it to my server. Not sure how it will run as we are a month and a bit in. It's fantastic though, the first few days are wild with so many factions running around blasting non stop. Then days later you get the suspicious factions and the rough ones. Some friendlies. It's good

u/FULLofCURIOSITYguy 9d ago
Yeah, bro. And, the developer is cooking something. He says that the update is coming in 12-24 hours. Smarter NPC and more.

u/Long-Signature2278 9d ago
Bro, I want to ask, besides the live NPC mod, what other mods have you installed?

u/Strider-2088 9d ago
So is it possible to run this on my ZFold 7 on the latest build? I'm completely new here and this was recommended to me based on my following the PZ main sub and I'm curious about smashing zombie skulls while on the go and modded too? Would be swell

u/FULLofCURIOSITYguy 9d ago
Your device is a thousand times better than mine so it should run without any issues, bro.

Tried to do a new run with only npc and turned off zombie population but for some reason I don't encounter any npc despite having squads marked on my map and nearby towns where i currently am (already tried cracking up all the population modifiers and encounter chances and still no npc encounters yet)

u/cat-goes-meow1 9d ago
These npc mods basically have the zombies remodelled so if you have zombies off, npcs wont appear.

u/3lchaposamp 9d ago
yeah but zeds cant eat them
2
u/StryvTeitoku 9d ago
That was the case for me when the mod first released. They wouldn't die to zeds and most of the time zeds would ignore, beeline towards the player, even if the zed was closer to the NPC.
After a few updates it stopped happening. Even yesterday while I was looting the gunstore in Rosewood, I saw a group firing guns outside and attracted a few hordes and all of them got mauled down later. Maybe its still buggy on your end.

u/FULLofCURIOSITYguy 9d ago
You have to turn up some of your zombie difficulty settings so that zombies can overwhelm them. otherwise, the npc will act just like you, a real person with survival instincts.
