A: Some mods will work without signatures, but some absolutely wont.

Mod Description
Vanilla spawns pals in a very limited area around the player, ~75m, no matter what view distance set in Options. Because of that open spaces or views from the height feel desolated.

This mod increases spawn distances for all wild pals as well as (optionally) maximum distance at what widget still shows information about highlighted pal.

Available versions:
1) 10k (100m) - slightly bigger spawn area than vanilla, performance friendly.
2) 20k (200m) - good compromise between immersion and performance.
3) 30k (300m) - very long range, for most places will show up pals till the horizon. Not performance friendly (for some rigs at least).

There are default versions and those with the same distance UI hints for pals available (vanilla is ~120m).

Mind, please, this tested in SP only. I can't guarantee it will work the same way onservers (tho I added hook for servers).

Also there are side effects, some good, some bad: animations for distant pals will be simplified; you will encounter more lucky pals; you may not see some encounters which will be finished before you reach the spot; it will take longer for the game to spawn some pals, so you may miss some spawns if moving too fast.
