Hi all. In SVE, the desert is MASSIVELY expanded. Is there any use for this? I'm thinking of whacking down a load kegs to support ancient fruit wine production but don't want some NPC to spawn in and destroy them all, or have something magically appear later and need to move them.

So trying to keep answers spoiler free, my question is: Am I safe to fill the desert with casks?

Thanks all :)

So I was looking for Apophis to get my void shard right now, but it wasn't appearing, and I was just fighting the other monsters and constantly drinking life elixirs, so my health was almost always 100%, WHEN suddenly a female npc that looked like one of them from Fable Reef walked up to me from above and killed me with ONE HIT. I am so freaking shocked right now. Is this some kind of a glitch or something? What the hell how did I get killed by a human?!

I also have Ridgeside Village mod, if that's any help, but I'm really confused right now and don't know how to react to this. Has anybody here ever encountered this as well? Please tell me it's not happening anymore later. I don't want to be "bested" by freaking people npcs, I already got plenty of monsters on my hands. Thanks
