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
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!
