bro the last time he updated this was in 2018 i dont think he's seeing your suggestion

I have a strange mod request if you're up for it, cuz I haven't found a single other mod that does this.

All pre-placed turrets are manual, they need someone to fire them. What if you made a mod that makes these turrets automatically fire at threats, and the turrets themselves are the property of a dummy faction, then make that dummy faction -100 relations with the enemies of the towns?

That way, if turrets accidentally shoot at friendlies, there is no relations problem. No one to blame for the misfire.

Still works, and working great. 2024. I love the improvements to the swamp towns and gangs. Makes the swamps feel more interesting and fun.

I don't know about you but my vanila or buffed 20 - 50 swamp gate guards cant hold level 3 nests. they get overrun and the villages as well.

@DevilTongue141

I know I'm a bit late with this reply, but the question deserves an answer at least.

It still works I would say. I only had one or two small fights break out in Shark but the guards quickly put a stop to it, and if you leave the area for a while things seem to calm down and get back to normal. I haven't had any playthrough where I've found the entire place dead, so I guess that proves the mod still works? =p

Only thing I've noticed is that if you spend a lot of time in that town, sooner or later some spiders seem to start spawning inside the town walls. The guards again do a great job and quickly kill them off. Problem is, sometimes a stray arrow hits a random person once or twice and a fight still breaks out, but as said before the guards are quick to stop it before it escalates into a massacre.

Is this mod still working?

Well i mean they can with the mod i`m sure but not without :L

?Many players know that Swamp NPCs can hold against threats including Blood Spiders, Raptors and the two bandit groups in Swamp." Huh?

Not to mention it's fucking illogical for them to outright murder eachother, you'd think the only reason Shark exists as a mixture of different gangs is because they managed to get to an agreement, and if there were troublemakers among their ranks, the gang bosses would see to that before they'd all go at eachother's necks. This is kinda reflected in the fact that each gang specializes in their own income method, so as to not get in eachother's ways.

So... I came here to find mods to fix Shark because I've visited Shark once in a past playthrough and everything was fine, but in 3 new playthroughs (that I restarted because of this very reason) Every goddamn time I got near the city everything was fucked, either blackshifters or hounds were at war with eachother and the swampers, corpses everywhere. I just want to experience the goddamn game, the quests, the flavourful interactions, and not have everything devolve to chaos BEFORE I even enter the town.

yes plis

I can probably also make a simpler mod that just increase Hound stats, which may not be a fix but at least the guards will not be in Shark

I don't have a deep understanding on modding, so I don't know how to fix it if the problem still exist. I did changed the relations between hounds and swamper, and the 1.0update did not influence the mod in anyway I think. I just opened up a game and let the time pass in Shark for 2 days, no civil war is happening

Are you planning to get those fixes done at any point, or is it officially abandonware at this point?

I assume this mod is still working, but I haven't gone to the swamp after 1.0 update so I'm not sure

is the swamper and hound relation fixed?

pretty sure that's a vanilla thing and happens because of a bar fight

Any news on updating it to fix the bug where guards kill everyone else now that the game has released?

By the way, I would not do any changes to the mod before 0.99 comes out.

My guess is that sometimes the hounds on the crossbow tower friendly fire those gate guards, causing them to fight each other.

In the last three games I have played, when I first arrive in Shark, everything is great. Then the Hounds and guards start killing eachother, and the super gate guards wipe out all of the hounds and anyone else in their way. It has been fun and chaotic, and I have no idea if its the mod - but I am going to remove and see if the massive-super-civil-war starts up right away again.

made my swamp experiecne alot better i can visit lively towns without fear of spiders and spiders and spiders and spiders and spiders and spiders and spiders n dead n spiders n more spiders

Good job, thank you !

If only we could actually build in allied territory...

I made this mod because I saw the forum post.

I just read on the forum about this problem a week ago.

Yesss. There was this one time that I left my character to chill on the Dancing Skeleton bar while I work on my colony, only for the place to be swarmed 5 mins later by blood spiders. Hounds, Swampers, and any other gangs couldn't do a damn thing.

Finally, an end to the pain-in-the-ass blood spider apocalypse? Gotta try this out.

Finally everone will stop dying all of a sudden

thank god, im glad someone added a mod that makes shark defendable. I know shark is suppose to be a wild wild west situation but DAMN man even back then, there were ROUGH MEN always patroling the town lest their money makers aka townsfolk die and they cant collect off of the dead ya know?

Was wondering if anyone would ever do this. Got tired of my Drug Operation being shut down due to Blood Spider and Raptors killing off all the guards and NPC's at Rot and Mud, Not to mention even Shark.

I like.
