Tacz Simple Enemy FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I recruit my first NPC?
Spawn an NPC using a spawn egg or Recruit Table, then right-click on it to recruit it to your squad. Once recruited, the NPC will follow you and respond to commands from the Commander Menu.
What's the difference between the three factions?
Russian Soldiers, American Soldiers, and Allied Soldiers are three distinct faction types with different appearances and equipment loadouts. You can recruit from any faction, and they'll behave the same way in combat.
How do I give my squad orders?
Open the Commander Menu to access orders like follow, hold position, attack, and formations. Use these commands to control how your squad moves and engages enemies during combat.
Can I change what weapons and armor my NPCs use?
Yes, access an NPC's inventory by Shift + Right-Clicking on it, then add or swap weapons and armor from the base TaCZ mod. NPCs will equip and use whatever gear you place in their inventory.
What does the dynamic spawning system do?
The mod automatically spawns enemy soldiers in patrols, firefights, and village/mine encounters based on world events. This creates dynamic combat scenarios for practice without manually placing every enemy.
How do squad formations work?
The Commander Menu includes formation options that arrange your recruited NPCs in tactical patterns for coordinated combat. Different formations affect how your squad spreads out and engages enemies.
Why aren't my NPCs using cover during fights?
NPCs use cover and flanking tactics automatically when engaged in combat, but they need appropriate terrain or structures nearby. If the area is too open, they'll rely on other combat tactics instead.
Can I recruit Allied Soldiers without emeralds?
Allied Soldiers specifically require emeralds to recruit, unlike other factions. Other faction NPCs can be recruited through the standard right-click method after spawning.
Do NPCs switch between long, mid, and close-range combat automatically?
Yes, NPCs intelligently adjust their combat tactics based on distance to enemies—they'll use appropriate weapons and positioning for long-range, mid-range, or close-quarters engagements.
Will this mod cause lag with many NPCs spawned?
Performance depends on your system and NPC count, but the mod is designed with structured combat logic to minimize impact. Consider limiting squad size or disabling dynamic spawning events if you experience slowdowns.
