Suggestion: le title.
Why it would be worth adding: because right now npcs are bumfuck retarded. you go to antlion cave for a raid and the antlions just stare at you with the vacant gaze of a grazing llama. spawn an antlion guard and it’ll just stand in the corner posted up like a dude checking the weather app on his phone at a party like “damn there’s 13% humidity in British Colombia today”

So CLEARLY we gotta do it ourselves and control them manually cos there is no way to make them do anything otherwise

or the old one idfk

I’m gonna revive this because ik it hasn’t been long since I posted it but we so badly need it added that it’s not even funny

Take one look at how the average cave raid goes and you’ll see the issue

It’s akin to turning AI off completely

As someone who has done the cave run four times now;

The only "threat" down there is running out of ammo. Antlions get stuck. Guards get stuck and just glare at you. The only time I have felt under threat was the very first one, where hordes of bugs were spawned and three guards while we got gel which isn't very fun for people who don't have two backpacks full of ammo.

Doing the caves without NPC tools is very easy and the reward is too much for it. Without NPC tools, this is just free gear. This needs to be added.

NPCs are better on tgis map but still fucked

Despite the issue with the Alps map it had fuvking phenomenal ai noding, I could spawn antlions on the other side of the map and they'd organically roam over to where the players where after I gave them a nudge.

Very cool moment was when a colony of antlions passed by a group of rebels walking around the wastes.

Give npc controls so I can recreate this
