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?

I think it’s a cool idea, but it’s outside the scope of the mod, sorry!

Ok, I made the required changes on my fork of your mod to support that feature. If you change your mind on it I could push it to you but I understand.

i want always goons in customs. How to do?

Hello, you can do this by setting all the maps to false except Customs(bigmap) in the mapConfig file. It’s inside the config folder of the mod.

is it possible to have goons on labs?if not with that mod can i modify it my self on spt files?not just goons but all bosses if possible

Hey man, I believe it is possible to configure it yourself if you’re using MOAR. I’m not very familiar with MOAR configs, so you might have to look around its documentations on the mod page. But I like the idea of having the goons roaming on all the maps, I’ll see if I can implement it myself soon™.

Hello, I’m pretty sure they’re still compatible, but note I’ve only tested this before in the 3.9 version of MOAR.

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

Customs: 30%

Woods: 30%

Shoreline: 30%

Lighthouse: 30%

Hi, No worries, I could’ve provided more detail in the mod description. To answer your questions.

1) Yes, without this mod, in base SPT every raid you play on those maps with have around a 35% chance of spawning the Goons.

2) Not quite, this mod makes their spawn chances dynamic to simulate them moving from map-to-map on those four locations. For example, if they are supposed to be on Customs the spawn chances for them will look like this:

Customs: 30% (You can config the spawn chance)

Woods: 0%

Shoreline: 0%

Lighthouse: 0%

After every raid there’s a chance for them to move to a new map. The longer they stay on a map (up to 3 hours by default), the higher the chance they will rotate to a new map.

Hope that helps answering your questions.

ezlife Depends on which bot spawn mod you’re using, if you’re using MOAR or QB it should work fine without needing to mess with load order. But if you’re using SWAG then yes, you need to load this mod after SWAG or else SWAG will overwrite this mod’s spawn changes.
