So I was messing around one day, trying to survive, when I found a small town, full of irradiated wanderers. What was even more interesting was that there was a two tile church that didn’t look like any I’d seen before (In this game), and a bunch of strange craters. About to die, I decided to scrap the character and go into debug mode to check it out (Yes, I know, I’m a cheater. But who really cares in a single player game?).
NOTE: I’m pretty sure this is something spoiler heavy, which I didn’t really mind ruining for myself, but if you do value that spoiler free play-through, ignore the rest of this.
Using reveal map, I looked around and saw a huge sewer system underneath, as well as two “Caverns” on z-1. On z-2 and z-3, there was a mess of yellow and white symbols (Work in progress?) which were labelled as “Vault library” and “Hospital” and “Housing” etc. I noticed there were two groups of NPCS, both told me to get out, in one sentence, with one option. There was a ton of loot in there, plenty of clothes on the ground, and lots of geiger counters. The vault seems to be static, not randomly generated, though I’m not 100% sure. If you want to spawn it in debug mode in the overmap editor, it’s labelled “necropolis”.
Does anyone have a clue as to what this is?

I added Spoiler tags to your post since it seemed like what you were going for anyway.
If you want to be spoiled:
It’s the start of a statically defined “survival vault” verry much like fallout vaults. The author Acadia gets busy with work periodically and has to stop adding stuff, the necropolis is as you guessed still a work in progress. Iirc the plan is for a 4-level vault, not counting the town and sewer system, with a large number of npcs and quests.

It seems like a cool place, though my only gripe about it is that increasing the enemy spawn rate in world gen makes exploring the place a headache due to how crowded the place becomes.

A quick complaint about them, very often (especially with z-levels enabled) npc spawn outside of safe rooms and quest giving nps are slaughtered before the green tide.

That has been my experience as well - I’ve battled my way in twice, and the NPCs were all dead both times.

Best thing to do with vaults is blow up the entrance and let everything inside rot.

I tested, and the NPCs don’t give you any quests. Yet. Can’t wait for when they do, though.

Okay, thank you. One question, is the town level supposed to be similar to something in Fallout? I haven’t played the game, so I wouldn’t know, but maybe someone here has?

The town isn’t modeled after anything in particular, it’s just a facade to hide the vault.
