Just asking if there is a significant improvement on npc A.I. or will there be. And are there also new quest that are added just recently.

I didn’t have time in the most recent experimental to do much with NPC AI[1]. KorGgenT did some overhaul work recently that will let NPCs cast spells, and I have plans to make NPCs capable of attacking vehicles directly, but those are things intended for after 0.F releases.

As far as new missions go, there’s roughly a lot. Hub-01 is up to at least 3 or 4 missions, there’s the entire Isherwood farm community, the Lighthouse family mission chains, apparently Alfonso in the refugee center has something, and there’s a couple of other miscellaneous NPCs that have missions. I can’t even keep track of it any more. The days when there were some random quests, 8 missions at the refugee center, and a pile of fetch quests at the refugee ranch are long gone.

[1] belated missing footnote: I did start work on the `talker` infrastructure, which will at some point enable talking cars, intelligent swords, and conversations with dragons and other monsters, but it didn’t really improve or change the tactical NPC AI. I wanted to do more, but got distracted by life.
