Time Your Own Boss

Description
Allows you to set the amount of days before any bosses can spawn i.e. "safe days". You can even set it to Day 1, so they can start spawning immediately! Be warned, though! This is also the amount of days that have to pass, from the last day e.g. Bearger was killed, before he is able to spawn again! This means if you set it very low, you may get more than one Bearger within a single autumn.

Settings Information
There is just one setting, and it affects all bosses.
You can set the amount of days in the following increments:
1-100 days in increments of 1
100-200 days in increments of 10
and a special option of 1 million days.

The default setting is 26 days.

Usage notes
a. It will NOT despawn already spawned bosses.
b. There are several variables that factor in, when the game decides which boss to spawn and when. This just sets one of those, albeit the most important one. I cannot guarantee that a boss arrives at the exact day you choose! The season decides which boss is spawned.
c. Does NOT require you to make a new world before taking effect.
d. This mod only works if the host of the server has enabled it.
e. When using this mod as a host, this will apply to all the players on the server.

@Inseerlink: I am active, indeed :) Sadly, any mod that changes hounds or bosses in any other way than this mod does, require quite a bit of work since they're handled by scripts that aren't easily overridable. It can probably all be done, though. You can ask one of the authors of the hound-adjustment mods if they would do it, or perhaps request someone to make it on Klei's DST Modding forum. I'm a bit too busy at the moment. The fundamental stuff is done by those mods, but they need an extra system to handle ramping all the variables.

Best wishes, Ultroman the Tacoman

Wow! The author is still active! :o :D
btw, I accidentally came here looking for a mod that makes it so that any spawned bosses does not disappear once the season is over. Does anyone know about one?

I am looking for a harder balanced approach to the game, something like scaling boss timers, scaling boss numbers, scaling hounds timer, scaling hounds damage, bosses does not disappear if not dealt with, etc

I mean, this is probably to wrong place to write about this, I should probably open a discussion xD

@Baron Jack: You're absolutely right! I hadn't thought of that :)

This will be useful when u want bosses to spawn in short and very short seassons! :steamsalty:

Just went through the game code, to ensure that this mod still works as intended.

There has been no change to the spawning patterns. All bosses have specific seasons and other conditions, determining when they can spawn, and the rest is up to randomness. Except for the one variable which this mod changes, which is a hard minimum on how many days MUST pass, before ANY boss can spawn. Think of it merely as the number of days you are guaranteed to be safe from bosses.

Sincerely, Ultroman the Tacoman
