Pick Your Bots / Bugs — Test 23​

Customize the enemies you fight, with separate Automaton and Terminid mixes for patrols, reinforcements, guards, and POIs/outposts.

Set a key to it first in mouse and keyboard, theres no default key assigned at first install
Do not use on SEAF cities, can crash.

Some units may not spawn in bugs due to them being not available (if you see ? marks, use operation reroller to get an eligible mission with that seed, for ex pouncers cant spawn on a bile seed mission, but other bugs (like hunters/stalkers/alpha commanders which are common) will replace the bile seed ( in this example)
Read the rules in the rules tab in the mod.

Build your own enemy mix​

Set individual unit percentages for each spawn category. Faction weights save separately, so changing your Terminid mix won’t change your Automaton setup.

Shared Master controls​

Adjust reinforcement budgets and cooldowns, patrol counts, patrol sizes, patrol frequency, and corpse cleanup across factions.

Automaton controls​

  • Additional reinforcement callers.
  • Factory Strider reinforcement calls.
  • Adjustable Factory Strider population limit.
  • Disable Factory Strider production or select its output.
  • Bot drop cost adjustments and extra patrol troopers.

Terminid controls​

  • Enable or disable Alpha Commander summons.
  • Choose from 11 summon options, or randomize the choice per mission.
  • Adjust bug breach costs.
  • Allow Chargers, Stalkers, and Bile Titans to call breaches, with the small caller-cloud effect.
  • Adjustable Titan/Dragonroach population cap and resume threshold, without stopping other bugs.
  • Bug holes use your Guards selection subject to the hole’s supported spawning behavior.
  • Selected nest guards use equalized affordable prices.
  • Guards set the poi and nest guards and bug hole production choices

Do not use it with any other spawn multiplier or surge mod, they all can change the same settings and crash.​

if you can't make it configurable in arsenal, then AT LEAST, let us choose which hotkey to use to summon the menu (or even better, let us do it from ingame using bingus).
I swear it's like there is a weird private joke between all mod makers to pick F8 and F9 exclusively so you can't use multiple of them at once.
(also make one for illuminates please. don't let ArrowHead read this:
FUCK zombies
- ArrowHead's gonna FREAK!!!!)
i keep forgetting to add hotkey binding ill add it

I can say that multiplayer works, but somehow crookedly, in some places it may simply not spawn enemies in the right amount or it may not spawn enemies at all, although everything is fine in solo

some bugs are not selectable for some missions, and since they are not selectable theres no replacement logic so the map can becomes empty, i would say choose upto max 4 in a mix, this is limitation by the game i cant do anything about it

I have tried anything

just this mod and its requirements = nope

it just does not work for me. What am I doing wrong? I made sure to save the draft and it all seems to be in order?
