Creature Containment (Server)

Creature Containment — Server

Create controlled creature encounters for towns, arenas, dungeons, custom locations, and elevated areas. Creature Containment manages animals and infected, tracks their assigned zones, and returns them to configured destinations when they cross the boundary or height limits.

Features

• Flexible boundaries: polygons with inward corners, rectangles, and circles, with configurable minimum and maximum heights.
• Spawn rules: choose multiple creature classes, with an individual living-count target and respawn delay for each class.
• Points or areas: spawn from explicit points, circles, or polygons. Each creation chooses a random eligible location controlled by its rule.
• Surface-aware spawning: use the configured height, terrain height, or a solid surface below the configured height.
• Population management: fill the initial target, then delay replacements. Set respawn delay to 0 for startup-only spawning.
• Teleport groups: assign creatures to named point, circle, or polygon destinations. Each tracked creature retains its assigned group.
• Zone activation: configure a duration after server startup and an optional player-distance requirement for spawning. Existing creatures remain when players leave.
• Independent switches: control all zones globally, each zone individually, and individual spawn points.
• Creature filters: include or exclude creature families and exact classes; optionally register eligible creatures already inside a zone.
• Persistent configuration: load saved zones, rules, and groups on startup. Recognized older settings are converted with backups.
• Collaborative editing: merge independent edits to zone fields and separate rules or groups; report conflicting changes before saving.

Required companion mod

Creature Containment — Editor & Client is required on the server and every player's client. Use matching versions of both packages.

• Server: load Editor & Client through -mod and this Server package through -serverMod.
• Players: load Editor & Client through -mod.
• Install any original creature mods needed by your configured classes.

Configuration and editor access

Server settings: $profile:CreatureContainment/Settings.json

Editor permissions: $profile:CreatureContainment/EditorAccess.json

Add permitted editors' Steam64 IDs to AdminSteam64Ids. Settings and permissions are managed by the server; installing the companion package alone does not grant editor access.

Containment works by returning tracked creatures after they cross configured limits. Keep destination locations supported, clear, and inside the zone.

Permissions

Permission is required from KelDromar before repacking, re-uploading, redistributing, or including this mod in another mod pack. Server configuration for your own server is permitted.
