Introduction

This mod is an add-on for the Modular Encounters Spawner that expands its spawning ability to be able to handle Creatures/Bots such as Spiders and Wolves. Using the features in the Spawner, bots can be spawned based on additional conditions such as Weather, Threat Score, Terrain Type, and other conditions that many are familiar with from MES.


How This Mod Works

This mod does not add any new Creature Spawns to the game. Instead, it enables other mods to be able to add Creature Spawns to the game without having to manipulate or edit Planet Files.

Most players will likely not need to subscribe to this mod directly. Mod authors that create Creature/Bot encounters would attach this mod to their own as a mod dependency instead. Spawning configuration is setup using SpawnGroups, similar to what NPC Grid Encounters use. If you're already familiar with MES SpawnGroups, then you can find the necessary tags to get started at this link[github.com]

While this mod is enabled, the vanilla Spider and Wolves spawning will be Disabled. This means those 2 options in your world settings will be turned off automatically. The Modular Encounters Spawner will then handle the spawning of these creature types.


Special Thanks

Big thanks to Chipstix213 for helping with testing some of the initial functionality and providing a test mod that helped get everything else working.

And a big thanks to Ryukki for allowing me to use that amusing screenshot for this mod title card!

anyone else beeing unable to damage the spiders and wolves with a grinder which is possible if they are spawned in in a full vanilla world?

Yeah Keens behaviour for them is very fragile 🤔

@maxdean02 that's a vanilla bug. I don't use this mod and that happens to me.

Saberoids are strangly just popping out of the ground near me, and then going back underground over and over again. They're not attacking me though.

The command will verify if a creature spawn is valid
