I love this mod, as it adds some real threat and challenge when playing single-player PVE like I do.

As a result, I did some testing across most, if not all, of the maps to see how well spawning and kaiju behaviour works, so that the author can, if still supporting it, investigate issues.

I only used this "basic" mod, none of the other monster addons. To locate and watch the kaiju from afar I used Awesome Spyglass and Creature Finder Deluxe. Lifesavers.

Some cheesing was sometimes required, to avoid total loss of life and property. (or because I hate some maps, see below) :P


My first test. Ended very badly when I used the blueprint spawn for Rodan *right on top of my main base*. Died, and it wiped out everything. Thank goodless for backups.

Rolled back. After a while Godzille and Rodan spawned on their own and moved about. Never saw Gidhorah or Mecha.

No Simple Spawners used


Rodan spawned almost immediately and flapped about from watching from afar. Didn't see any of the others spawn.

No Simple Spawners used


Hate that map, mostly skipped. Can't see where the kaiju wouild spawn in the claustrophobic hellhole anyway.

No Simple Spawners used


Still ongoing. No spawns so far, which is disappointing: where better than a wasteland Earth?

May use Simple Spawners to make something happen


One of my main maps, but so far haven't seen anybody spawn without using Simple Spawners.


Other main map, but no "natural" spawns.

Did some significant testing with Simple Spawners.

Got Godzilla, Rodan and Gidhorah to spawn with it, but they always just stand idle unti either despawn timer - or approach them.

Approaching can be suicidal: first they stand there until you approach within about 300m, give or take; They then have a huge aggro radius and the flying two will follow you forever, so I had use my fastest flyer and angle away from my base until they lost interest.

While Godzille and Rodan behave fairly well, Gidhorah is a one-kaiju extinction event, killing everything in sight. You can watch spawn numbers go down with Creature Finder Deluxe.

SS made it pop 500m or so away from my main base once, and I had to fall back on god mode and luring it away or repeat the experience from The Island at the beginning.


Didn't use SS, but got Rodan, Godzille *and* for the first time Mechagodzilla to spawn. (note: I did not at that time have the MG mod installed!)

Here too, they just stand idle and won't move until I get into aggro range. Which was "easy", as Mecha popped 400m from base.

There is a very weird bug with MG: it's only visible when about 350m away and anything further it's just invisible. Compare this to the others who are visible from miles. I was able to test this by moving a few steps forwards and backwards: now you see it, now you don't.

Like Gidhorah very destructive on flora and fauna, killing everything. Moving very erratically.


Saw no natural spawns, but got Godzilla and Rodan with Simple Spawners. Again, just standing idle and not moving until you move into aggro range.

Bit annoying that pattern, as I reproduced it just about everywhere.


Depending on your map, the kaiju will spawn without Simple Spawners. Sometimes moving properly by themselves, sometimes just status until aggro'd. Very weird.

Overwll Rodan seems most spawn-happy, then Big G and, on only one map, Mecha. Gidhorah never popped without Simple Spawners.

Hope this helps someone and let's the author investigate, if they still care.
