That means it goes without saying they build, tame, breed, ect. If you played c&c or AoE then you know the npcs start from scratch like you. Even just seeing other survivor NPCs struggling in the wild would be somewhat interesting and dynamic without any greater interactions, with an AI similar to other creatures. Since they are not adopting some of the more convenient aspects of the S+ mod, I would love to see the possibility of it become official in something like this. It turns settlement attacks into a proper Minutemen Quest and allows the player to queue up settlement attacks so that they wont autoresolve if the player doesnt get to it immediately, among many other features. I know you can do that with creatures to some degree, but be able to tells NPCs to craft, gather, and best of all feed the newborns while I am off doing something else would be great. This mod intends to improve settlement attacks. Maybe not their exact taming aspect, but as grindy as Ark can be I would love some helpers. However, I would honestly want to focus on something more attune, though more helpful, to the thralls in Conan Exiles. Imagine the better social interactions available to modders and players once they had to be coded into NPCs, like trade/shop menus/interactions. I would not mind your suggestions and I agree it would give single player, small coop, and PVE especially more depth. I did not expect these elements when I bought the game, but when I joined the bandwagon Ark was pretty solidified in its formula in my opinion. 'congratz, u busted your balls to get to lvl99. It would add a lot of depth to SP as well as bring a use to raid dinos and (Anti)raid items. Have npcs want to ally and trade with you like in age of empires. Have npcs build strongholds and defenses. Frankly id love some command and conquer coding in the game. The SE trailer where u walk into a city and a guy tries to sell u a jerboa is deceiving. I originally thought ark would have currency, human npcs and cities when i 1st bought it. Kind of like the thralls from Conan Exiles. I know it could be a way to encourage multiplayer, but surely I am not the only one that likes the idea of seeing other 'people' without the multiplayer problems. I would be open in getting more elements in this same vein into basic Ark, I would especially love a small family aspect, but I don't expect it and would assume it would be considered contrary to current/past goals of development.Īs fun as Ark is, it does feel weird in single player/small coop sometimes while reading the lore in the explorer notes and just being alone with the creatures. It breaks up the survival theme a bit, which can be good and can be bad. I like the idea of city management in Ark, but I personally need it to be on a small-ish scale.
