anyone else’s server crashing when you hire an npc? Works great right up until I hire one and then it crashes every 1 min after logging in.

Also the night vision is completely useless. A head light / weapon light mod is way more useful. NV just change the color of the screen to gray and thats it.

Near infinite money tip: Unlock the book that makes Ores drop rare resources (The art of mining 1), optional: Buy titanium pickaxe or a good pickaxe right when you see it on trader. Afterwards mine for a few minutes and get a few thousand. I right now got 100 000 at day 24 in 10-15 minutes from just mining by just having a steel pickaxe.
Maxed stun batons are OP. Infinite stun for everything at all the time for 7s+ .

The mod seems great, however; the constant darkness even at night takes away from the “pitch black” night that is supposed to happen from 9pm to 5am. Its dark and foggy constantly, so it gets old after awhile. Now it has resorted to crashing every three minutes when I’m in the game. This mod looked awesome, but I had to uninstall because to crash in the middle of clearing, fetching, buried supplies, or horde night is a huge pain.

I would recommend removing the “MPLogue_UrbanDecay_7D2D_v2_0_1” folder from under the Mods folder and to re-generate the world for the new paythrough.
It will make the game less “eerie” and “atmospheric”, and more like the vanilla one.
It will also take away some of the “remnant” POIs, but personally, I did no find them too exciting to begin with.
If you crave for more custom POIs, just use a regular PEP pack, it works with Asylum just fine, all the new zeds will be waiting for you in those POIs too.

Yep, the mod is full of hostile NPCs with all kind of weapons.
Take them out ASAP if they are onto you, or avoid them if you have no gun or skill yet.
Friendly NPCs are of limited usefulness, I usually use them as a “Pick me up” containers to store the loot.

Hard to tell with limited data that you have provided, but personally I have ran into “red crosses” only when playing wrong version of the 7d2d, means not the version that the mod was designed for.
I do not have any issues with playing Asylum mod on my current copy of the “normal” channel’s 7d2d.
There was a post somewhere under “Escape from Tarkov” mod that described the way to fix those “Xs” by editing an entries in the XML file, but I would suggest updating your 7d2d before making a clone that runs your Asylum mod first.

Попробуйте MK223 для начала, если Вы, как и я, “стрелок”. Этого пистолета (с улучшениями) должно хватить на первые 3 биома. Дальше у Вас будет достаточно выбора среди автоматов или снайперских винтовок.

There are some “auto sorting stations” something available for purchase from vendors (look under the “science” section, the icon is blue in color).
When placed in the vicinity of your storage boxes, it will act a a “router” for the items you dump into it, for as long as the boxes nearby have the items of the same kind.
I wish the author would implement the “Quick stack” mod’s functionality instead, but his option is close enough.

If you edit …\Asylum\Mods\MPLogue_UrbanDecay_7D2D_v2_0_1\Config\biomes.xml to comment out two lines as below, then NEWLY GENERATED map will have less fog. Make sure to check entire file, those two lines repeat for every biome.
I guess you can also remove other similar stuff, but removing those two made the game playable for me.
I did not try to remove the entire MPLogue_UrbanDecay_7D2D_v2_0_1 mod, but I would imagine that it is responsible for the most of the atmospheric visuals and associated performance dip in the Asylum.

For me it is day 9, so far I’ve seen 3 total – 1 randomly in the forest, 1 in a POI and one irradiated during horde. I’d like to point out also that I’ve been leaving my base often at night which doesn’t seem to help. I’ve seen more Freddies and Jasons at this point. Guess that’s what happens when you try to fit in 650 enemies’ spawns at once.

I did a few starts by now and chose different classes for each. Alas, none of the class quests is worth the effort, they all are not fun to go through.
There is a lot of grind for a single class-linked magazine. Not worth it IMO.
I even did a dm/F6 spawning of enemies to get enough correct enemies killed, and trust me, their numbers per iteration is plain unrealistic to encounter in normal game. It must be a sort of placeholder, it seems.
I am recommending you to select the class for its starting gear and ignore the class’s quest altogether.
The Asylum overhaul is still fun to play. Hopefully author will figure out how to make class quests fun in a future version.

Type of the NPC follower does not affect any of your skills. But you are onto something! Hopefully mod writers will figure it out.
As of now, gun type and HPs of the follower is all that is different between them.
I only use friendly NPCs as “containers” and make sure to “pick” them as soon as I stashed loot with them, because their fighting skills are not so good and they tend to get in you way too often. I would guess that 4 NPCs, each with a shotgun are about as good as me alone with a pistol. But I will still carry about 6 NPCs in my inventory for being able to stash all the loot form a larger POI.

Yeah, I guess Sphereii lost it at some point. Launcher was such a great help with the overhauls when it was still v2.
Unfortunately v2 started doing “shallow” copies of some files and needs a manual reinstall of the mods that it breaks.
Maybe current v5 does a better Git copy job, but it sure is not a winner of the usability contest.
