SPT 4.0.6 Compatible
Configurable spawn mod, allows waves / starting PMCs / boss chances / progressive boss chances. ABPS will always try to keep your raids full and different each time.
Please review the configuration app, as the default configuration is built the way it is because I enjoy it like this. All options in the configuration app have tooltips, please read them. You can adjust it freely to your liking. The configuration comes with starting PMCs only, and no additional PMC spawns - all bosses are set the same as vanilla defaults in SPT. The default Scav configuration will attempt to keep the map at near caps for the map at all times.
Both PMC & Scav spawning has been built to only spawn a specific distance from players, and any other bots to spread them around the map a bit. The distance values for this are configurable in F12 - but be careful not to go overboard making them as high as you can as that may delay spawns.
Support for Legion/Punisher is automatic, but ABPS allows those mods to control their bosses. There is no special configuration for them in this mod.
ABPS is also Fika compatible as far as I have tested, only the hosts settings will be used.
Do not use this with another spawn mod.
This mod is still in active development. It may be missing features or configuration options you may want.

Demonstration Video (yoink):

Config App is gone, to edit the configuration run your server after installing and go to:
https://127.0.0.1:6969/botplacementsystem/
All configs can be updated and edited while the server is running - provided nobody is in raid.
If you are using Fika then put the appropriate IP and port instead.
Known Issues
- AI hostility may be fucky. When I’m bored of Dune: Awakening I’ll be working on it.
- Spawning too many PMCs in a wave will probably cause issues with those bots
If you enjoy my work - you can buy me a coffee~

Idk why but sometimes this mod spawns 2 scavs in the same place and spawned scavs just stay still. Don’t react to players and etc.
I LOVE THIS MOD :)
Hey I prefer to do direct SPT config tweaks (yeah, naughty) and am wondering if you could please let me know what config (in Locations Base files i assume) stops bots spawning right next to player?? Mods like yours stop this behaviour but infuriatingly it exists in unmodded game. Im looking at the time to spawn figure as I suspect 4 secs allows player to move back into the exclusion bubble or something silly like that?
Does this mod log anything about bot behaviours or about their map rotations?
Can’t play without this anymore, great work man
Could it be possible to add the new changes to 3.11.4 compatible versions, or is it too much work? Excellent mod, anyway
Am I to take “The configuration comes with starting PMCs only, and no additional PMC spawns” to mean it’s baked into the mod and I don’t need to flip a switch to get it to behave that way? (This would be a good thing)
Anyone having issues with bots not spawning in quest locations (e.g., Kill X Scavs at Y location on Customs)?
Is possible to add the possibility of activate and deactivate pmc and scav Waves on F12 thanks
Pardon my confusion, but Is “Max Bots” the total amount of bots allowed to run around on a map at one time or the total amount of bots that will spawn on a map throughout an entire raid of X minutes/hours?
I want to keep concurrent bot numbers low while increasing waves.
