Did you plant anything in the plots? villagers can't decide that on their own.Do the natives need something special to farm? I've got a harvesting point down and some plots for crops but they're stuck with a carrot symbol above their head not doing anything.
I put 3 leaf mannequins to reduce raiders to a manageable number, and then I just go and kill them. I also put the "raid magnet" pendant on Yona, who can't be abducted, just to be on the safe side.How do you guys protect your base or npcs from raids?
Do npcs also help kill raiders?
And yes, your villagers, from the other MC to the chicken to bigfoot, can fight and defend from raids. It depends on which behavior you set to them. Only those with "survival" behavior don't fight, which is a good setting for your weaker villagers. While stronger villagers and captured boss monsters can be put in guard mode so that they'll defend at night too.
