📋 About This Mod
UPDATE v0. 8. 024
Currently does NOT work due to recent changes of spawning villagers in the new release version
Here goes sharing another mod I've been using in my gameplay!
This mod will now enable you to have a chance to spawn refugees. These refugees seek shelter in your towns and will come in big numbers! (If you're lucky or unlucky they can even almost double your population).
Make sure you're prepared before accepting them, as you have 30 days to decide. If you're able to hold the refugees then surely you'll enjoy the extra burst of workforce!
When refugees spawn, you will receive a popup message (WIP) with details.
When that happens, use Ctrl+Y to Accept refugees, Ctrl+N to deny refugees.
The mod can be configured in the config.lua file, for those who want to customize the mod's configuration and understand the logic behind it, you can read more in Mod Details section.
