Creature Cloner

Simple mod to clone existing creature prefabs and give the target ones new values for most basic configs, like rename or set another faction. This mod might get more enhanced to maybe later some time replace the RRR mods, since the author of those isn't active anymore.

WARNING to all ppl that are going to use this mod and wondering why the creatures won't appear in game: you will still need to use mods like SpawnThat to make the creatures appear in game.

Features

Clone creature prefabs (required to have an Character and Humanoid component implemented, which all vanilla ones at least apply to). The cloning will remain the original source prefabs chosen untouched and will create another new prefab with a new name. The new prefab can be used with other mods like SpawnThat.

Create default configs from game

The mod does provide a custom console command to creature defaults from the game with all existing and loaded creature prefabs, you can use these as presets for creating your clones.

Just type creature_cloner_write_defaults_to_file in console and it will write the file org.bepinex.plugins.creature.cloner.defaults.yaml to BepInEx config folder.

Loading your own changes to game

For creating custom configs, you will need to provide file(s) matching the file name schema org.bepinex.plugins.creature.cloner.custom.*.yaml somewhere inside (also in subfolders) of the BepInEx config folder. You can easily provide multiple files, they will all be loaded.
