Enemies spawning distance, frequency and patrolling

[jomaxro]

Hey there @MagnusderRote, welcome to the Discourse !

@MagnusderRote

I’ve read about people dealing with this and I think in the screenshot it is oberserveable where I will build walls for my town, but still, I would like to suggest that mobs always spawn a certain distance from hearthlings.

This is an interesting idea. Right now buildings and stockpiles affect where enemies spawn. While I can understand your frustration about crafters dying due to spawning enemies, I (personally) feel like that is just part of the game - you need to protect your Hearthlings if they venture outside of your city.

On top of that my military always patrols inside the fence of farm/pasture, never outside, maybe the patrolling between buildings should be even and not just in a walled off area of fences?

I do agree patrolling needs work. Right now they patrol farms and stockpiles, and that’s it. You may be interested in @Wiese2007 Patrol Points mod, which expands the patroled items substantially.

[A20+] Patrol Points

Heyho! I have made a little mod - with this your soldiers doenst patrol the stockpiles or the large crates/urns anymore. You can now create patrol points with the carpenter and place them everywhere you think your soldiers should patrol when you have more patrol points then soldiers your soldiers will patrol between them For this: you need at best to start a new game or you must destroy every field, large crate, fine large crate, large urn and stockpile you have and place them …
