Custom Creature Spawns

The creatures and loot are all customizable. Modded creatures and items are supported. To customize, create a new YAML file in the BepinEx configuration folder. If using mod manager, then use the BepinEx config folder in your profile folder. All mods from the More World Locations series will share the same Yaml file so you only need to create it once.

For creatures, each instance of the location will randomly select from the list of creatures in the the file. First, it will pick a random index (an item in the list), then it will increment through the list, assigning creatures to available creature spawners until each creature spawner has a creature. For the best results, scatter higher tier creatures throughout the list. You must use the creature's prefab name and not it's in-game name. See here for a list of vanilla creature prefab names: Creatures List

For loot, the chests will randomly select items from the list.

Custom Loot Lists

For loot, as of 12/19/24 the loot list format has changed. If you're using an old format it will still work but you can't access the new customization feature. To access new customization feature, please convert to the new format below and ensure you include the verision number at top of file.

The new format works as such:

1 - Random roll for total loot slots available. Roll number between 1 - 3. There will be between 1 - 3 loot slots.

2 - For each loot slot, weighted-random selection for item from loot list. Randomly select item from list based on weights.

3 - For each item, random roll between stackMin and stackMax for loot stack amount.

Example for PlainsLoot1 below:

1 - Random roll results in 2 loot slots

2 - Weighted-random selection for slot 1 = BlackMetalScrap

3 - Weighted-random selection for slot 2 = LinenThread

4 - Random roll for slot 1 stack size = 4

5 - Random roll for slot 2 stack size = 5

6 - Final loot in chest = 4 BlackMetalScrap, 5 LinenThread

Modded items are confirmed to work in the loot list.
