# VillageNPCs

A requested mod, adds an item that you can craft to summon NPCs for your village or base.

## Installation (manual)

  • extract VillageNPCs.dll file to your BepInEx\Plugins\ folder

## Features

  • Adds 2 new items called Orb Of Life (Male/Female) that you can craft at the workbench.
  • You can use the Orb Of Life to summon an NPC for your village with a random appearance.
  • In order to craft an Orb Of Life you need to kill a God, it needs a Hard Antler from Eikthyr, an Elder Trophy from The Elder, an Ancient Seed and a Blood Bag.
  • NPC's doesn't do anything special, they just roam around, say some random hints, do greet and say goodbye.
  • NPC's doesn't mate and breed, they are just there to populate your village/base.
  • You can rename them just like a regular tamed creature.
  • You can also command them to stay or follow you.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
