The Purge mod (by Xevyr) v2.3.2

This mod introduces a similar system to the old Conan Exiles Purge.

Through regular activities involved in playing the game, players gain the attention of The Purge, which is shown on the purge meter (bottom of the center panel on the inventory screen).
Once their meter fills up, their base can be targeted by The Purge for destruction.
Waves of NPCs will attack and the player must defend against them or see their base leveled by the attacking horde.
Whatever the outcome of the encounter, the purge meter resets.. and the cycle begins anew.

Note: This mod is inspired by the old purge, but built entirely from scratch. It doesn’t touch basegame systems and won’t interfere with the vanilla Stygian Coffer purge.

Special thanks to Tephra from the Conan Exiles fan discord who designed all the default purges the mod ships with using the built-in editor
(except the cat... the cat was me..)

• Challenging and fun base-defense encounters
  
• Purges can be a mix of humans and creatures and often contain named thralls that can be captured
  
• NPCs have loot
  
• Works on any map. Default encounter zones are set up EL though, so adjust accordingly on other maps.
  
• Purge NPCs have fatalities suppressed to avoid any glitches related to that system that break the flow of combat.
  
• Has a powerful built-in editor for admins that allows you to create new purges from scratch, even using NPCs from other mods.

Unlike the original Funcom purge, this purge system does not teleport enemies into your base if they cannot reach it. Instead it always tries to find natural approach points around your build. The mod uses several fallback methods if a clear path cannot be found, however each of these will potentially produce a less than ideal result:

• First it searches for proper routes with a clear path to your base that NPCs can navigate. (Important note: just because you can see a potential path does not mean there is also one usable by game AI.)
  
• If that fails, it relaxes the rules and tries to place enemies in nearby valid spots – this can sometimes result in spawns on cliffs, rocks, or other awkward locations as a path to the base is no longer required.
  
• As a last resort, a custom base analyzer attempts to map larger or complex builds so purges still occur, though results are less precise.

Depending on various factors – including, but not limited to: your base size and layout, the map geometry around it, the number of players on the server, and general server performance – the primary methods might fail and the fallback systems might place some enemies in inaccessible locations.

The mod does not require admin babysitting though, as these enemies will eventually clean themselves up and the purge will resume. For best results, build reasonably sized bases in accessible areas and avoid layouts that completely block paths.

Unfortunately these are technical limitations of the game and engine that are beyond my control (or even Funcom’s at this point, since their purge won’t do any better either). While I can come up with tweaks to help in some scenarios, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

There’s no real benefit in leaving comments here about NPC spawning issues, as all I will be able to do is give you the same explanation described above. As a slightly more productive form of feedback on this topic, you could perhaps share your base on the Discord – seeing pictures could potentially be useful when attempting small tweaks to the system in the future, though keep in mind the above and adjust your expectations accordingly.


Type these in the console (~ or Insert):

• dc purgeconfig Opens the purge admin panel.
  
• dc startpurge # - Starts encounter with ID # at YOUR nearest base (bypasses zone limits)
  
• dc purgebase # - Starts encounter # on the base you're looking at, even if not yours.
  
• dc abortpurges - Stops all ongoing purges.
  
• dc purgelist - Lists purges available at your location (good for testing blockers)
  
• dc setpurgescore # - Sets your clans purge score to this value (testing)

This mod uses weighted spawn IDs, the same data the base game relies on for world spawners. These are recursive groups that resolve into NPCs based on assigned weights. They are not the same as the fixed spawn IDs shown in the Admin Panel.

For example: if three NPCs share a weighted ID with values 240, 200, and 40, the total is 480, giving them chances of 50%, 41.7%, and 8.3%. (240 out of 480 = 50%, and so on.)

To make this easier, the mod includes a built-in lookup tool that shows exactly which NPCs any weighted ID can produce.

Works with everything – no basegame assets, no load order requirements.
It is safe to add or remove anytime, even mid-playthrough, without breaking saves.

Other mods may change weighted spawns (adding/removing NPCs). It won't break the mod, but if you get 5 Rockslides instead of 1, check your other mods :D

See my Workshop for all my Conan Exiles mods.
Some examples:

• Simple Minimap - Fully featured minimap with its very own custom map marker system allowing you to bypass the vanilla 50 marker limit
  
• Twin-Bar - Lets you place 2 items per shortcut slot and instantly hot-swap between them individually, doubling capacity.
  
• Armor and Weapon Stats in Bench (AWS) - Shows item stats in crafting stations before crafting.
  
• The Damage meter - Full damage parser, DPS meter and combat log with optional floating damage numbers.
  
• Music Barrel - Immersive jukebox for your tavern with optional song-packs, background chatter, and API for other mods to add songs.

• My mods are built to remain compatible and almost never need updates when the game itself is updated. “Outdated” warnings from hosts (like gportal) can be ignored - they only compare version numbers between the game and the devkit, which don’t matter unless basegame files are altered.
  
  
• Updates happen at my discretion. If I need to update a mod, I will. Please avoid telling me when I should or should not update my mods. If that is a problem, you are free not to use the mod.
  
  
• Mod mismatch errors are not caused by the mods themselves. It’s simply the game telling you that the mod version you have is not the same as the one on the server. For more info, or to get the previous version of the mod, visit the Discord.
