Custom Entity Spawner

Non-Ore items are now rounded up to the next whole number when using or spawning. This ensures partial amounts are accounted for properly while avoiding resource waste. No more fractions of consumable items!!
Prevented removal of required items if the inventory is full and spawning cannot proceed.
Each instants of the block now has its own timer. The timer now starts when spawning conditions are met!!

can use my iSurvival - Nutrition - Farms for example.


The Custom Entity Spawner mod for Space Engineers automates the spawning of entities and items around specific block types,

Create spawners using the storage/CustomEntitySpawner.ini

; ======================
; HOW TO USE GlobalConfig.ini
; =====================
• BaseUpdateInterval: This defines the interval for the main update cycle in ticks. The value 60 means the update cycle runs every 60 ticks (which is roughly equivalent to 1 second in-game time). Adjust this value to control how often the mod checks and processes spawning logic.
• EnableLogging: When set to true, this enables logging of the mod's activities. Logs are saved to a file and some messages may also be displayed in-game. This is useful for debugging and understanding the mod's behavior.
• CleanupInterval: Interval for cleaning up dead entities in ticks. (0 disables cleanup)
• GlobalMaxEntities: Maximum number of entities allowed in the world. Required items will be lost if set higher than the server's max entities setting.
