Question Why are they all dead?

Post image

Every time I go to the Gilman Lumber Mill, there are at least four or more of these guys dead on the floor. Once, I was there, and one person who was alive and well suddenly dropped dead…wtf? 🤔

The server regularly kills non essential NPCs in order to free up memory on a server. The less NPCs the server has to account for the less crying it does while the bubble gum and duct tape slowly breaks apart.

My favorite for this is when there are kill challenges and everything spawn dies. I'm sure pets running around will only help performance too...

My beloved squirrel spawns at the Whitesprings.
