Ugh. I feel like I'm making a stupid mistake and I'm just NOT seeing it at the moment. --- So, I'm adding a ton to my race mod, including Monsters. However, before I change the sprite or anything, I wanna make sure the monster actually spawns, and of course it doesn't. --- I have made a monster mod before with spawners and everything, so I just copied from that and my memory. For some reason though, it's just not working. Is it because I have my other monster mod enabled or something? --- I want the monster to spawn only at night, at most/all biomes. smallfiredemon.monstertype code: Code: { "type" : "smallfiredemon",

I've just been frustrated with this because I need it to work so that 2+ other things can happen for my mod (custom item drops from monster > custom new wings / custom wing crafting station). Cheers.
Maybe try this code below for your biome patch. I think that your code above is correct, but I *think* you are just giving it too small of a chance to be chosen for spawning. I could be wrong Code: [ { "op": "add", "path": "/spawnProfile/groups/0/pool/-", "value": [ 1, "smallfiredemon" ] } ]
Maybe this is what fixed it, finally!! But I also traveled to a different lush planet on a DIFFERENT character and suddenly they started spawning. Definitely weird, because I've tested monster spawning on the same character on the same planet and it would work..but ya know.. Guess the game is silly sometimes. Thank you so much for helping me! This was really bugging me. Now I can finally edit the sprite and work on other things! Cheers! P.S. The spawn chance was at 95.00(%?) before I lowered it. Walking around was hilariously sad, seeing so many of them spawn after having them not spawn for the past day(ish) of coding.
