In my own system in unity, I used LLMs as merely an orchestrator and left Behaviour Trees (https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00084) as the main core of NPC behaviour. I assume this question is directed at the NPC engine part of the mod, "FelPawns" as of right now. Since my goal is to manupilate the NPC behaviour ingame directly, and use LLM for more than just roleplay chatbot purposes performance is indeed and issue. I think the hardest part is to bridge the LLM and Rimworld internal scheduler seamlessly. I am following some articles loosely , like Generative Agents…

Thanks! Noted the cite to this paper (below) as well in your paper in case others are interested: Behavior Trees in Robotics and AI: An Introduction, Michele Colledanchise, Petter Ögren, 2017 http://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00084 1.1 A Short History and Motivation of BTs BTs were developed in the computer game industry, as a tool to increase modularity in the control structures of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) . In this billion-dollar industry, modularity is a key property that enables reuse of code, incremental design of functionality, and efficient testing. In games, the control structures of NPCs…

When I worked on robotics I often found myself reaching for behavior trees for anything complex over a FSM. See section 2 of "Behavior Trees in Robotics and AI"[1] for an example of how much simpler they are. I think they are popular in game dev too but I've never worked in that field.
