Wandering Squads Spawn "Engine"
Disclaimer: This may impact adversely the spawned squad mods made by Shidan, Thaboone and Kenshi Reworked. If you are using these mods, it best to turn off the spawn engine, till a solution is achieved.
Required to run any of the other wandering squad mods.It pretty much totals all vanilla spawns to 100 points, in proportion to what the developers set them to. Why? Makes life simple when adding spawn rates of other mods, especially when you don’t want to crunch the numbers.
This will also serve as a patch for anyone who has recruited under the previous mod "Wandering Squads" or the current ones out "Wandering Squads – Recruits", should you turn them off so that you don’t lose the recruited members.
Last modification was to reduce spawn amount from 1 to 0.25, because there are no spawned squads for that area. The mods add some to appear, so that its less desolate.
Also, Heng and the Great Desert have each been left to their respective vanilla totals of 250 and 248, as there are over 30 different types of spawns that appear, and some are set to 1/250 or 1/248, so I might have to upscale the total spawn value to 250 or 1000.
FAQs
Do I need this to run if I turn off Wandering Squads (original) or Wandering Squads – Recruits/Wandering Squads – Cannibals?
If you recruited anyone under these mods and wish to keep them, yes. If it won’t bother you, no need to do so.
Why does this have to run for the other wandering mods?
It helps set spawn values for vanilla to 100 points (or 100% percent), so it makes it easy to decide what the spawn rate should be for each mod, like 5%, 4%, 2% and so on. Without it, you will notice that vanilla squads may spawn less or more often compared to mod spawns. A lot of the spawn figures are not easily divisible or workable without a calculator, and I would rather save myself the headache of doing that.
