Pick your Bots/Bugs/Squids - Updates

PC Pick your Bots/Bugs/Squids 1.8.1.1

Updates for Helldivers 2
An experimental feature accidentally made it through to the public release
  • Improves Terminid guard balancing by accounting for mission and difficulty eligibility.
  • Refines guard assignments to better match your selected percentages.
  • Restores 1–6× ranges for patrol count, patrol cooldown rate and reinforcement budget.
  • Includes all 1.8.0 improvements.
Patrol size remains 1–2×, and reinforcement cooldown reduction remains 0–90%. Default values are unchanged.

Percentages remain targets; native placement, budgets and population limits still apply. Start a new mission after updating.
Updated how your selected percentages are distributed across spawn templates.

  • Patrols and reinforcements: All three factions now account for template selection weights and squad quantities when applying your mix.
  • Bot and Illuminate patrols: Selected units use separate tags within existing pool rows, allowing individual balancing.
  • Terminid guards: Added balancing for both guard template groups, accounting for their different selection methods.
  • Optional equalized breach costs: A new Terminid faction setting gives selected breach units the same weighted-average unit cost. Your existing breach-cost multiplier applies afterward. Disabled by default.
Native special entries remain protected. Percentages represent target unit proportions; game budgets, eligibility rules, population limits and separate spawn sources can still affect the resulting mix.
You can kill squids now
Subfaction rules are in the mod now, so you can see what units replace what in sufaction planets, if the units arent replaced by any they are available in the tabs but will only work if the subfaction is active
Removed POI tab for bots since it wasnt doing anything and probably causing crashes, will probably do the same for bugs
Requires Bingus Mod Bindings Menu for rebind
Huge update for terminid roster, plus UI overhaul and performance improvements
