I'll like to add that I always thought the "Cages" when in the workshop was the Automatron DLC so yeah... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All patches are currently out-of-date and could causes issues All versions under 1. 8. 1 are not up-to-date with the current dlcs. I have moved all patches to older version because I cannot consider them reliable anymore. I'll have a look around and update them and or add new patches. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation: Option 1: If you don't own any dlcs download the "Placeable NPCs - No DLCs"
Option 2: If you own the Automatron dlc download "Placeable NPCs - Robot DLC" Note; both files work with the DLCs but this option supports the NPCs from the Automatron DLC
Optional: Download any patches and put them lower in the load-order then Placeable NPCs master file.
How to spawn them? All the menus are in the workshop. Open it up and to the very right you should see the two cones.
Remember when you uninstall this mod the NPCs will be deleted.
