TechFreqs Increased Animal Spawn

Description

The TechFreqs Increased Animal Spawn Mod, for 7 Days to Die 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.

Key Features:
– **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 & DLL for dynamic spawn logic! although game settings are set to 5, but if set to 10 then 10 alive entitys can be alive at once or less if you’d like.
Any variable changes, you must change entitygroups max count if you prefer a separate amount of animals during the day or night.
– **Debug Logs for more information based on preloading a save and what was slightly changed pressing F1 for more details.

### How to Configure Manually
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 `entitygroups` 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″ … />`.

## Removal
Delete the `TechFreqsMoreAnimals` folder from `Mods/`. The game will revert to vanilla spawn settings.
