=Core Module=
=NVSE NOT NEEDED=
Increased hand placed spawns in the wastes.

IWS-Core.esm ( Loading just this module will result in nothing more than a marginal increase in creatures in the world )

-=Optional=-
IWS-Core-Guards.esp ( Enable Faction Guards )
IWS-Core-Patrols.esp ( Enable Faction Patrols )
IWS-Core-Civilians.esp ( Enable Faction-less Town guards and Civilian travelers ) Note: These civilians are often well armed enough to supplement guards in some cases...

=Situational spawns= ( Spawns activated by quests/events )
=NVSE NOT NEEDED=
You have the option to increase spawns depending on completed quests and world events.

IWS-SS-SuperMutants.esp ( Enable super mutant camps and patrols after certain events at Black Mountain have transpired )
IWS-SS-BOS.esp ( Enable Brotherhood of steel patrols and guards after certain events have transpired )
IWS-SS-Convicts ( Increased spawns in Primm before certain events have transpired ) Note: Without this module it will be hard to understand why the NCR aren't able to steam roll through Primm if IWS-Guards.esp active

=Search and Destroy= ( Increased faction search and destroy )
=NVSE NOT NEEDED=
This is a simple script that keeps track of factions that do not like you and will periodically send faction search parties to track you down. The basic premise is that I will have script that updates very slowly, maybe once every 5-10 minutes, that places an x marker at the players feet. This X marker will be what each of these faction patrols will seek. If you keep moving you will be be able to stay ahead of these search parties. Since it is possible that any faction listed below can randomly send groups it will sometimes result in random battles over who gets your head first.

Supported factions: Legion, NCR, Khans, Fiend, Super Mutants, NightKin, Viper, Jackal

IWS-SND-Enable.esp ( Enable Faction Assassin Search and destroy )
IWS-SND-NoInteriorFollow.esp ( Do not allow Assassins to follow you inside of larger interior cells like vaults. By default they may suddenly try to jump you when exploring a vault or a cave. ) [/size]

=Active Spawn= ( Active Scripted spawns )
=NVSE NEEDED=
Active scripted spawns is a customizable system that further increases the number of spawns beyond what is provided by the IWS-Core modules.

IWS-AS-LowSpawns.esp ( 0-2, cap 8/30 )
IWS-AS-MedSpawns.esp ( 1-3, cap 16/50 )
IWS-AS-HighSpawns.esp ( 2-5, cap 32/75 )

*Explanation*
( 1-3, cap 16/50 )
Random chance to spawn 1-3 additional creatures/npcs
Active Spawns will stop adding additional mole rats once the system counts as many as 16 are already present
Active Spawns will stop adding additional Spawns once the system counts as many as 50 total references are already present

-=Optional=-
IWS-AS-DisableCaps.esp ( Disable the caps that limit the amount of spawns that the active spawn system will contribute )
IWS-AS-IncreasedGhouls.esp ( Increase Ghoul spawns beyond the low medium or high spawn settings )
IWS-AS-NoInteriorSpawns.esp ( Do not allow active spawns to function on Interior cells )
IWS-AS-EnableDebugInfo.esp ( allow you to turn on debug text )

*Greatly enhanced the spawn system for creatures for better balance and an overall better experience in game. Crazed Robobrains and protections are back!
*NCR, Great Khans, Fiends, Legion, Vipers, Jackels all stake a claim on their territories with an iron fist.
*All Factions now guard roads and caravans while waging battles on anyone who gets in their way.
*All major cities and popular locations in the wastes have armed guards for protection against the larger number of creatures and enemy factions that threaten them.
*In addition to more armed guards you will also see more Wasteland travelers and civilians.
*Now you also have the ability to further enhance the spawns with a configurable script. Currently only works for feral ghouls for now but will be further updated to support many more creature and NPCs.
*Super Mutants are still active in the wastes but are far more rare than before. Below is the small list of the new locations where they can be found.

-Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch
To the northwest of this location is a highway blockade with water that is now guarded by super mutants.

-Boulder Beach Campground
Small group of super mutant scouts here.

-Mountain Shadows Campground
Small group of scouts here.

I was wondering the same as you but then!


From the fomm description on the "ultra respawns"

Description:
====>*NVSE* Needed!<====
Combine this with IWS-MoreSpawns to increase spawns even more than before.


Select all 3 for max carnage basically... I hope anyway

So, the 2 esps only add extra ghouls?

This is a lot of fun. The ncr ncp says "we're having trouble with two bands of raiders". Well that statement is true now. Great job on this, the only downside I had was the quest npc at the billboard got killed , I was nowhere near him when it happened I just got the quest failed message. Also fps has taken quite a bit of a hit with the number of new npc's.

What billboard are you referring to ?
The guy with the guitar? He has literally 4 NCR troopers patrolling that area and I pushed back ant spawns from him lol... ( Ill make sure to take a good look at that spot again )
Any idea what it was that killed him?

FPS hit is significant and I do have a plan to reduce overhead once back from vacation. As I continue to update the scripted spawn system the need for a large number of hand placed spawns is reduced. This means the core module will be more friendly to lower end PCS than it is now and if you want the total chaos you can still obtain it with the scripted spawns.

That farm you mentioned, is that Wolfhorn point?

That general area is owned by Viper gangers now but they shouldn't prove to be much of a threat as I don't intend to give standard viper spawns more equipment. You know they say that Wolfhorn point is supposed to be the house of a DLC follower that was cut from the regular game?

I'm sending you the bills for all my trips to merchants to stock up on doctor bags and stimpacks...

I am officially butthurt.. I went to do the 'boot' quest (free the 2 guys from a small legion camp) and was promptly attacked by no less than 15+ guys, most of whom were apparently above my level because my weapons were doing diddly to them...and I have 100 skill in guns.

It was perhaps the funnest 10 minute battle (followed by my death) I've had so far.

Kudos on a great mod. This really adds some FUN to the empty wastes

I'm interested in giving this mod a try. Does your mod also affect enemy loot at all? In the vanilla game I never had ammo shortages and I'd hope that more enemies = bullets running out faster. I'm planning on using a mix of energy weapons and guns, and if all the extra enemies are carrying normal amounts of weapons, ammunition and healing items then the game won't actually be much tougher.

Does anyone know a mod that makes ammo/healing items rarer? There are some big mods that include item rarity, but I'm not aware of any standalone ones.

Will the Hv Bos patrols be affected by the faction armor script? That's one thing i'd like to find out before running into them I think, if I ever get hold of power armor that is.

I want to say thank you and I am enjoying the mod. I would actually like to see an advanced harder version with many more spawns , fights , and people who randomly attack you. I like impossible mods like that and care little about lore. Great job , can't wait to see comes next. Also the disappearing of the monsters as well as the guards is because the box (no low processing) is checked in geck for that particular NPC.
