What happened to NPC's?
I thought Eco 2 dlc was going to bring walking NPC's to stations but everyone I have been in is still empty after buying the DLC and starting a new game. Is it bugged or a setting I did not notice?

your game is bugged, and the NPC had nothing to do with the DLC, the NPC's where base game content

Would starting another new game or reinstalling the game fix it?

Space Engineers: Economy 2 Pack introduces a variety of decorative blocks designed to enhance and personalize your base. This pack features the new Safe Zone block, LCD Billboards, Floorplan Signs, and more.

dont think walking NPCs are in the game yet ;/

they are in the game lol, the DLC is only listing what it brings to the game, the npcs were vanilla base game, no DLC required.

it's in the update info that the economy DLC was added with, not the description of the DLC.

and yes, they are in game, but in order to have a station populated with them it needs to be a NEW station freshly generated after the update.

old saves from before the update will not "update" their already generated stations and add npcs to them.

the way it was explained is if the station was generated before the update, it is done being generated, they generate based on range to the player, so stations you haven't visited SHOULD generate with npcs, but the old ones you already discovered before the update will not have new npcs, you will have to start a new game or just travel to a new area to find a new station with generated npcs.

just to clarify:

the update that brought the npcs to stations is update 1.209 the economy 2 update, it was not dlc it was a free base game update that also came with an optional paid dlc release

The game world must be version 1.209 or newer for new NPC stations to spawn correctly. It was recomended to start new world.

NPCs are not present at every station.

Following the 1.210 update, there appeared to be a bug where NPCs vanished from stations where they had previously been - this occurred in an old game world that I had been playing since before version 1.208.

Economy II Update / Economy II DLC – these are two separate things. You get one for free, while you pay for the other.
