Natural Spawns

 

Requires AdditionalSpawnConstraints

 

Overview

 

Only allows spawns of drifters (and similar mobs) above natural blocks, even during storms; blocks are considered natural if their name satisfies any of the filters below:

  • "game:sand-*"
  • "game:gravel-*"
  • "game:dirtygravel"
  • "game:sludgygravel"
  • "game:muddygravel"
  • "game:soil-*"
  • "game:forestfloor-*"
  • "game:peat-*"
  • "game:rock-*"
  • "game:crackedrock-*"
  • "game:regolith-*"
  • "game:ore-*"
  • "game:saltpeter-*"
  • "game:looseboulders-*"
  • "game:loosestones-*"
  • "game:looseores-*

 

Might adversely affect dungeon spawns, but keeps helps keep drifters out of your builds even if they are unlit.

Future Plans

 

  • None, atm.

Does this still work?

If not, is there any chance of a update Please

RangerTau, Feb 22nd at 12:47 PM

Now I know basically nothing about modding, but about the dungeon spawning - would it be possible to add anything made of "aged wood" as a category? Or maybe anything with the oxidized/moldy overlay? A lot of the dungeon areas use those for flooring.

With the release of Additional Spawn Constraints v1.2.1, this mod should work again. Please update the dependency and report back if you have any issues.

 

EDIT: There was an issue with the patches not landing due to the movement of lore mobs into their own folder; v1.2.2 should resolve this.

Yeah, there's definitely an issue with the Additional Spawn Constraints mod that's probably causing this one to stop working. People have outlined more details about the problem on that page.

Kaeviel, Jun 20th 2025 at 3:59 AM

Any chance of an update? I haven't gotten any error messages, but it just seems to have stopped working.

This should be added to vanilla.

Siobhalla, Feb 27th 2025 at 3:24 AM

Works great for me.  Nice not having spawns in my home.  Thank you :)

Is this mod functional still?

Craluminum Mega_

Yes, realized spawn control was different during storms after our multiplayer server had experienced one earlier today. Will try looking at SystemTemporalStability.trySpawnDrifters() to see if it can be controlled as well.

DanaCraluminum, May 19th 2023 at 5:19 PM

Mega_ Temporal storm have its own spawning mechanics and when there is no space to spawn, drifters get spawned inside air blocks

Mega_, May 19th 2023 at 5:01 PM

How does this mod interact with temporal storms?
