Spawn increaser - all factions - works in multiplayer akl_mod_preview_image
Increases spawns for all three factions. This mostly causes light and medium units to spawn multiple times. Heavy units remain as they are across all factions and are only slightly increased. While these changes might still look very basic to experienced modders, these settings were intentionally designed for a fun multiplayer experience. To keep online lobbies balanced and stable, heavy units have barely been increased.


Patrol units are noticeably increased, as are enemy reinforcements. An enemy reinforcement wave will flood the battlefield with units for about 3 minutes across all factions—so get ready for a lot of action!


Because the Illuminate reinforcement animations take a very long time, it didn't improve the gameplay in the way I wanted. Therefore, I have left the Illuminate reinforcements completely vanilla. To compensate and achieve a similar gameplay effect but with much better execution, I have significantly increased the spawn rates and sizes of the Illuminate Patrol units instead.

If you only change this setting, the game will throw the exact same spawns at you in massive quantities—including all the heavy units. This could become problematic for many vanilla players in public lobbies. The settings under 'spawn composition' are crucial for making the system spit out mostly light and medium enemies.
Additionally, you need to lower the cost of all enemies, since most of them default to 1. If you just crank up the pure spawn count, the spawns will get blocked pretty quickly by the costs. That’s why in my configurations, all costs are reduced to 0.05, light and medium spawns are increased, and heavy spawns are reduced.

Yeah, all of that is actually showing as being modified by "a mod", your mod, including the 0.5 changes. It's just, I can't import any individual preset. Only throwing your mod into Arsenal has worked so far. There are only 3 files that are available to import from your mod and only when unzipped. Those are: build-report.json, hd2runtime.json, manifest.json. This is all I know. I do not know anything else.

If I have to manually throw your file into the presets folder instead of trying to import anything via the actual in-game "import a file" button and instead go "open the folder" and throw it in, say the word.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The only thing I can think of is that a reinforcement wave got canceled. This can happen with any faction when there are more enemies on the map than the game allows. When that happens, reinforcements can actually bug out or stop spawning, but that's rarely happened to me. Could you try the mod against a different faction later and let me know if you run into similar issues?

EDIT: Since u said you played against mindless masses and those are ... well masses :D ... i think thats probably what happened to you the entire time, probably so many patrols over the map that the game said '' nah bro ... too many enemys on the map not gonna happen ''

Could you make a mod for version 0.30.0 or higher? Because the game lags significantly on version 0.31.0 and above [RUNTIME MOD]

played 3 games on terminids and didn't encounter a single bug breach across any of them, there's more patrols but when the bug breach animation plays nothing happens...
