the spawn frequency of the -drones- is likely part of the script loaded onto the programmable block of each installation blueprint in this mod.

the spawn frequency of the -installations themselves- can be controlled by the Modular Encounters Mod by MeridiusIX

Did anyone find out how to control the spawn frequency of the drones, I really need help!
I have a private dedicated server running on my pc, I have assertive installations, bunkers and cargo ships. There are a lot of installations around mine and my friend’s bases, at least 6 I counted, the spawn frequency of the drones from them is a nightmare and I need to reduce it slightly to make the server fairer as the drones are constantly spamming at the moment.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I know this is quite late but you cannot control the spawn frequency of the drones, it's something set in the mod itself and isn't use configurable :(

Haha no worries, thank you Splitsie for the response any how!

Hey Spliltsie, any hints or ideas where to look if the installations are spawning, but not the drones? Drones are on, and set to max of 25...

For me it's a bit too frequent. However I added this mod during gameplay and was not preparing for that. And I think another mod messed a bit ores that iron is not spawned at the surface.

Hopefully in this game mods can be enabled and disabled at any time.
It's a great mod but now I need some break from war and think a bit about engineering stuff.

By the way: is basic rifle totally useless or is it about my combat skills?

Sad, I hoped there could be a way to make the Ai a bit more aggressive

How to increase spawn rates for Assertive installations itself?

There is a configurable setting in the config files attached to every save (DS or Single) where you can configure the Spawn Rate for every spawn type, meaning you can limit Drone Spawns to once every 60 minutes, or more, or less, depending upon what your settings determine you can control spawn rates surprisingly easily, then Mods load their own settings after this, using a config file saved near this same directory.

Pro Tip: If your version number is higher than the most recent version: the mod won't force update.

Extra Pro Tip: If you remove a Mod Directory: Steam will download that Mod again if attached to your world.

Sorry for writing so late.
But can you tell in which file exactly the setting for the frequency of drone spawns is located?
I would like to reduce the spawn frequency of these drones. And then they appear 1 minute after their destruction and I do not have time to do anything.
For me at the beginning of the game, these are quite difficult opponents, since I play without ore, magnesium and cut in the form of scrap. Only trading and capturing bases and ships.

I think it's the standard Assertive Installations configuration file location, same setup for all mods:

in most cases.

It has been a while since I've played Space Engineers, probably the same with this Mod Author, might wanna check the original to see if they had any updates since this one is labeled with Retired in it's title.
