Is there really no way to set NPCs home? I need help...
Or is there? I already looked at the BWOChat and there are severall Options that get the friendly to go to "BASE" but if I say something like "This is my place" The NPC says "It's my place now" and if I ask them "Who are you" They say "I'm XYZ, I live with you" but if I say to them "return home", they start going to the place I meet them and if I load back in the game they're always spawning several meters away and have to come to me, which is incredibly anoying since I have to wait and in some cases even walk for like 10 minutes in order to just collect them all and then I would walk to me place, say "Stay here". Another thing regarding that is that if I walk 20 meters, they almost instantly disregard their orders and follow me. Am I missing something or do I have to babysit them everytime I leave the house? Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to be alone?

Sometimes you want to be stealthy or just keep them alive, as the NPCs that survive day 7 are irreplaceable. Also it seems only one enters your car so if you have more they'll run after you and risk themselves.

Because if I go 20 meters away from my base in order to cut down a tree and put the logs in my Trunk, turn around drive to my base and then one NPC spawns 2 meters in front of my moving vehicle and he's dead. I don't want to babysit them 24/7, if I go to a storage-room or collect stuff from my old base, they're, in this case, more a burden, than everything else, plus only one of them can get in my car, no matter how many seats it has, so I risk running the others over if I come back. My main complaint wouldn't really be, that they start to follow me as soon as I leave/come to the general area around my base, it's more that they spawn random around the facility, rather than really in my base. Sometimes, like I said 2 meters in front of a moving vehicle.

But at least they won't spawn at the place I got them from anymore, since I moved to the new place.

Edit: But I really enjoy this mod btw. It's just the one thing bothering me at the moment. Well and that one of my NPC despawned because she started following me, while I was in a car with a broken door, I couldn't get out on my side and so I had to swap places with her, which meant she couldn't get out and despawned.

can we have "babe" a bit more interact able so they will stay home if you tell them to or ask them to go with you, would like them to do npc stuff like cleaning the pots or making food when we leave them, also make them stay close to us when following.
