This will double the spawn range for all creatures and also ups the spawn ratio for cave animals slightly as they are annoyingly hard to find.
I always used a creature spawn range mod in my playthroughs however I could not find one which was compatible with the current version of the game 3.6 Frontiers.
So I made one by myself. This is my first Mod, so don’t be too harsh on me. I have creatures spawning now up to 400-500u away. I tried to keep it vanilla friendly and not cheaty as some other creature spawn rate mods, so you won’t get more or more frequent animals (bare the cave animals because those are annoying af), you can only catch them farther away. You probably still need to walk towards them, as some animals that spawned ~400u away in my game were hidden behind hills etc. I playtested this yesterday for roughly 4-5 hours, I didn’t found any bugs or issues, all animals spawned, and it was a little easier to complete them.
What does this mod do?
– I doubled the spawn range from 1x to 2x for all animal types who got 1x as a standard ratio. Also upped the ones from 1.25x to 2x. The few water animals who start with 5x by default already, I left alone.
– I upped the chance for some cave animals to spawn. 0.25 Chance got upped to 0.5, 0.5 got upped to 0.75 and 0.75 to 1, so they should be a little less grindy to find, but the rare ones are still challenging to find and need a little patience.
Which game version is this compatible with?
Ibuilt and tested the mod with the current version v3.68 on PC. It should be compatible with every version from v3.6 onwards, as long as the files which the mod modifies are not changed or moved.
Which files are modified?
Nearly every file in
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\AIR
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\CAVE
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\DEPRECATE
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\GROUND
\METADATA\SIMULATION\ECOSYSTEM\UNDERWATER
minus the Sentinel table and a few empty tables and unused ones.
Can you do a .lua version?
I don’t know how to do this, but in case anybody needs one, and I have a little freetime, I’ll try to look into it. In case anybody else want to do it, just write me a message here – I’ll upload it and credit you accordingly.
Can you modify other values?
If there is demand, I’ll do it. However mind you, it’ll get cheaty really fast.
