FEATURES

- Map-to-map rotation for the Goons.

- Increased rotation chance the longer they stay on a map.

- Custom chat bot to help track the Goons’ location and rotation chances.

- Configurable spawn chances.

INSTALLATION

Simply drag and drop the contents of the zip into your SPT installation folder.

CHAT BOT

The mod introduces a chat bot that you can access via the in-game friends list. You can type commands to the chat bot to get the latest updates on the Goons’ reported locations and rotation chance.

available commands:

- goons track

- goons rotation

CONFIGURATION

{ “debugLogs”: false, “preventSameMapRotation”: false, “goonsSpawnChance”: 35, “rotationInterval”: 180 } preventSameMapRotation:

Prevents the Goons from rotating to the same map consecutively.

- true: The Goons will always rotate to a different map.

- false: The Goons will be able to rotate to the same map they were on previously I.E Customs → Customs.

rotationInterval:

Maximum time (in minutes) the Goons can stay on a map.

- Default 180 minutes (3 hours). The longer they stay on a map, the higher the chance they will rotate to a new one after a raid.

ROTATION

In base SPT, the Goons have a static 35% spawn chance per raid on their designated maps. However, this mod implements a rotation mechanic that simulates the Goons traveling through four maps: Customs, Woods, Shoreline, and Lighthouse. By default, the Goons typically stay on a single map for approximately 3 hours. Their spawn chances are adjusted to reflect their current location. For example, if they are on Customs then their spawn chance will be 30% (Configurable) on Customs, and 0% on other maps.

Rotations occur only at server start or after completing a raid. At these points, the mod evaluates whether the Goons should rotate to a new map, with the rotation chance increasing the longer they’ve stayed on their current map. This chance grows over time and is capped at 100%, ensuring they eventually move.

This is meant to simulate their behavior on live EFT.

According to the patch notes of patch 0.12.12.30, which introduced the Goon squad, they “do not stay in one location, but wander through them” and “if they are at one location, they will be absent from the others”

COMPATIBILITY

Should work out-of-the-box with Questing Bots, as that’s the system I’ve built the mod with in mind. From my limited testing, MOAR should also work without requiring any changes to the load order. However, this mod is not compatible with SWAG. If you want to use this mod with SWAG, you will need to load this mod after SWAG to overwrite their boss spawn changes.

CREDITS

- Chomp for providing mod examples.

- SPT Mod Development Channel for their discussions, which helped me a ton during development.

- A user on the Fika discord that posted their fix for Fika filtering out modded chat bots.

- Thank you to Lillian for updating the mod to 3.11!

Changelogs

  • Updated for SPT 3.10.
  • Fika is now compatible by default and no longer needs patching. (Thanks, Archangel!)
  • Adjusted value in the rotation chance calculation to make the chance rise more slowly at the beginning and dramatically increase towards the end of the rotation interval. As a result, Goons should stay on a map for longer now.
  • Updated chat bot to use MongoID.
  • Updated to use new 3.10 endpoints.

Let me know if you encounter any issues, happy Goon hunting!

I was wondering what your thoughts would be on a progressively higher spawn chance the longer the goons stay on a map?

So in EFT live, patch notes of patch 0.12.12.30, which introduced the Goon squad, they “do not stay in one location, but wander through them” and “if they are at one location, they will be absent from the others”.

1) So currently in SPT (0.14.9.1.30626 (27 Jun 2024) - SPT-AKI 3.9.8 (19 Aug 2024)) the Goons have the below chances/percentage to spawn on a map when a raid is started without this mod?

2) And this mod just allows us to change those chances for the (4) available maps?

Sorry for being confused, thanks
