[FEATURE] Change spawn curves

[wooooyeahhhh]

Feature

Modify indoors and outdoors spawn curves for the different moons. Maybe even the individual enemies since surprisingly they have one dependent on how many are currently spawned in.

Reason

Spawn curves are arguably one of the most important modifiers on difficulty for a moon

Alternatives

I imagine actually modifying the curves themselves will be difficult to implement so worst case scenario a simple multiplier on the existing spawn curves will be a good temporary solution.

Hello @wooooyeahhhh

Thanks for the feature request, currently the options to control enemy spawning are very advanced, such that many users find them overwhelming so maybe this feature will take some time.

As you mentioned, adding curves themselves may be a bit complex due to interface limitations, can you describe what is the exact setting you want to modify? Maybe I can find an alternative in the meantime.

Thanks in advance

@TheAnsuz

Central config has an option to modify the spawn curves in such a way that a lower multiplier warps the curve so that enemies start spawning earlier if it is above 1 and makes them spawn later if it is below 1, so I was thinking of something like that for now.

Ideally a visual representation in the form of a graph would be ideal, but I imagine that it would be hard to implement.

@TheAnsuz u don't have to, simply just like CodeRebirth mod
config example from CodeRebirth mod:
Vanilla - 0.00,0.00 ; 0.11,0.14 ; 0.22,0.29 ; 0.33,0.43 ; 0.44,0.55 ; 0.56,0.63 ; 0.67,0.71 ; 0.78,0.87 ; 0.89,1.16 ; 1.00,8.00 | Custom - 0.00,0.00 ; 0.11,0.14 ; 0.22,0.29 ; 0.33,0.43 ; 0.44,0.55 ; 0.56,0.63 ; 0.67,0.71 ; 0.78,0.87 ; 0.89,1.16 ; 1.00,8.00

Hello @CoolLKKPS

Do you mean as showing the curves like that in the interface? Seems a bit unintuitive for most users.

Sorry for the delay

[CoolLKKPS]

uh i think if can able to set spawn curves just using my notepad, similar like CodeRebirth, that will be great, but the interface can be much better cuz that can help more people to understand how spawn curves works

[TheAnsuz]

Im planning to add a UI element to allow modifying the curves in the 4.0.0 release, it will take some time but I will let you know once I have it completed.

[CoolLKKPS]
