SpawnDistanceStandardization

Some enemies spawn a little close for comfort, some spawn weirdly far and some can't make up their mind. This mod exists to fix that.

Default settings:

• Jellyfish are set to "Far" on every stage. This is the standard for them, but some stages (e.g. Helminth Hatchery) omit this, which makes them notably harder to react to.
• Magma & Overloading Worms are set to "Far" on every stage, because I don't like them spawning right underneath me. This is how they're handled in Rallypoint Delta.
• Beetles are set to "Standard" on every stage. This is for Wetland Aspect specifically, I don't know why they spawn extra far there.
• Children are set to "Standard" on every stage. This is for Shattered Abodes specifically, they also spawn extra far there and I don't always feel like chasing after them.
• Blind Vermin & Scorch Worms are set to "Standard" on every stage. This is for Reformed Altar specifically, you get one guess as to why.
• Larvae are set to "Far" on every stage, because fuck them.

Configs will let you adjust the settings for just about anything that can spawn in the game.

Mod Compatibility & Recommendations

Enemies with the "Far" setting have a tendency to idle about, because they will often end up out of sight. To combat this, I recommend TweakAI to allow them to path to you without incident. Besides, I think enemies targeting you more proactively is a neat change in general.

1.0.3

• Nullref taken care of, shoutouts anartoast.

1.0.2

• Configs now accept EverythingElse as an option, if you so desire. Note that the more specific configs will take precedence over EverythingElse.
• Default configs: added Blind Vermin & Scorch Worm to the "Standard" setting to account for a peculiarity with Reformed Altar.
• Default configs: removed Gup from the "Far" setting. I have come to dislike my gelatinous friends spawning so far out of reach, and I have since then settled for a more elegant way of dealing with The Jumpscare.

1.0.1
