TechFreqs Increased Animal Spawn

The TechFreqsIncreasedAnimalSpawn mod increases the spawn counts of animals and enemy animals in all biomes, adding night spawns where applicable. It’s designed to revert to the game’s default settings when removed and non dynamic. Adjust xml amount as you please for manual semi configuration. 1.0+ supported

**Compatibility Note**: This mod is not compatible with Steel UI or mods that modify vanilla entity classes (e.g., 0-XNPCCore). As for this mod It removes vanilla animals, which may break mods relying on them, and adding the feature to making them hostile, while retaining some vanilla properties for the passive animals in the game, such as harvesting and etc.

## Overview
This mod increases the spawn counts of animals and enemy animals in all biomes, adding night spawns where applicable. It’s designed to revert to the game’s default settings when removed.
– **Default Spawn Count**: 3 or 2 per spawn type (configurable).
– **Biomes Covered**: Pine Forest, Burnt Forest, Desert, Snow, Wasteland.
– **Reversible**: Uses `<append>` to avoid modifying vanilla files.
-** Configurable json but also manual configurable entity groups & spawning xml if necesarry
-** DLL handles logic and xml handles spawn rates.

### How to Configure
1. Open spawning xml in a text editor , i.e notepad++
2. Adjust the numbers for each biome and spawn type:
– `WildGameDay`: Daytime friendly animals.
– `WildGameNight`: Nighttime friendly animals (if applicable).
– `EnemyAnimalsDay`: Daytime hostile animals.
– `EnemyAnimalsNight`: Nighttime hostile animals.
3. Open `Config/spawning.xml` and manually update the `maxcount` values to match your settings. Look for comments like `<!– Config: PineForest.WildGameDay –>` to find the right lines.
4. Save and reload the game.

### Example
To increase Pine Forest daytime wild animals to 5:
– change `”WildGameDay”: 3` to `”WildGameDay”: 5` under `”PineForest”`.
– change `<spawn id=”tf_wg01″ maxcount=”3″ … />` to `<spawn id=”tf_wg01″ maxcount=”5″ … />`.

EAC must be disabled, although i hope in the future that can be changed, as for now DLLS are not EAC supported however XML has no issue, unfortunately this is a dll modification.
THIS IS CLIENT SIDE ONLY but maybe perhaps this is also, server side and client side compatibility?
No further setup needed. Enjoy!
