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!

It works without that enabled

So do I need to re-enable wolf and spider spawning for it to work or does it work by leaving them off

Can you check this mod to see if it allows the spawning of plants on planets, because once i removed this mod i was able to find plants when before there was nothing no matter how far i travelled, and removing this mod seems to be the only one that effected them

Combat phase stops bots spawning. Did you include an add-ons to change how spiders spawn?

How do i enable combat phase, if at all possible? i can't get spiders to spawn and it is disabled.

/MES.GESAP Command in chat should tell you if those spawn groups are active

How do I check if this mod spawns the wolves back? I don't think I see wolves in our server.

MES dosn't effect the loot table only the bot profiles will.

Do the creatures spawned by this not give meat?
