SporeSRP Mod Configuration – Full Feature Guide (Latest)

---

Summary

SporeSRP creates escalating survival pressure and territorial expansion through layered mechanics: evolution, adaptive resistance, reinforcements, terrain conversion, outpost building, and a versatile Proto AI with five distinct skills. Almost every value is configurable, making it easy for pack developers to fine‑tune difficulty.

This document explains every system controlled by sporesrp-common.toml – covering Evolution, Adaptation, Support, Conversion, Ecosystem, Mound, Tracking, Infected Biome, Skills, and more.

Important: This mod will attempt to read and modify the configuration file sporeconfig.toml of the Fungal Infection: Spore mod. Please ensure that this file exists. The modification is performed only once during the first installation; a backup of the original file is created. If you later manually change the modified lines and wish to revert to the pre‑modification state, delete the marker file sporesrp_mound_modified.marker.

1. Global Setting

Setting	Description
eternalNightAfterPhase6	When evolution phase reaches 6, the world time is permanently locked to night (eternal night).

---

2. Evolution System

Accumulate “evolution points” by killing/converting entities to advance through phases; all mob attributes scale accordingly.

Setting	Description
phaseThresholds	Point thresholds for each phase (11 phases, 0–10)

3. Mob Pools

Lists of entities that can be randomly selected for each rank:

12. Mound Support (Level‑based Reinforcements)

Mounds automatically summon reinforcements based on their level (1–4).

• levelUpIntervalTicks – Upgrade interval (6000 ticks = 5 minutes)
• scanIntervalTicks – Scan interval for checking conditions (20 ticks) – even if cooldown is over, the mound won't scan every tick.
• supportConfigs – Format per level:
  level:range:minSmall:maxSmall:minMedium:maxMedium:cooldownSeconds:spawnScent(0/1)
  Examples:
  • Level 1: range 15, no small/medium, cooldown 30s, spawns Scent
  • Level 2: range 20, 1–2 small, cooldown 15s, no Scent
  • Level 3: range 30, 1–3 small + 1 medium, cooldown 15s
  • Level 4: range 40, 2–3 medium, cooldown 15s

---

Setting	Description
enabled	Enabled (true)

moveIntervalTicks	Relocation interval (6000 ticks = 5 minutes)
targetCount	Target number of marked Mounds (5); if below, spawn new ones
minDistance / maxDistance	Distance range for spawning/relocating (32–128 blocks)

---

14. Proto Skills

Proto possesses five active skills, with a dynamic behaviour switch based on the number of nearby large‑pool mobs.

Skill	Description
Skill 1 – Move Mound	Cooldown 100 ticks; moves a marked Mound to a random position 15–25 blocks away.
Skill 2 – Reinforce Vervas (low count)	Checks every 20 ticks; if the number of nearby large‑pool mobs is below skill2TargetCount (3), spawns Vervas within 64 blocks (cooldown 40 ticks).
Skill 3 – Mass Verva spawn (low count)	Cooldown 200 ticks; spawns 1–2 Vervas per location at multiple random positions (min 1, max 2).
Skill 4 – Delusioner spawn (high count)	When the large‑pool mob count reaches or exceeds largePoolThreshold (7), Proto switches to this skill (replacing skills 2 & 3). Cooldown 200 ticks; spawns Delusioners within 16 blocks, checking for existing Delusioners in a 64‑block radius.
Skill 5 – Reconstructor spawn	Cooldown 300 ticks; if no boss is detected within 128 blocks, spawns 2 Reconstructors within 16 blocks.

The threshold (largePoolThreshold) determines whether Proto uses the Verva‑focused skills (2 & 3) or switches to spawning Delusioners (skill 4), allowing adaptive responses to the local mob population.
