This is an advanced tool for configuring all world spawners.
With this, it is possible to change almost all of the default settings for the way spawners work in Valheim.
Want to have a world without trolls? Possible! (probably)
Want to have a world with ONLY trolls? Possible! (almost)
Want to have a world where greydwarves only spawn at night? Possible!
Just want to have more/less of a mob type? Simple modifiers exist!
This mod will not change any non-spawner based entities, such as dungeon mobs that only spawn once. Nor does it support changes to breeding.
If multiplayer, will have to have mod and same config set up for all clients.
Valheim's main way of managing spawns work by having two types of spawners spread throughout the world.
The world spawners, for which the world has them spread out in a grid fashion, each using the same list of templates to check if something should spawn. These are the general spawners and all currently use the same 43 templates.
The local spawners, which are intended for fine-tuned spawning. Local spawners only spawn one specific mob type, and only has one alive at a time. These are bound to specific world locations, such as the surtling firehole.
For world spawners, you can either replace existing templates based on their index, or add to the list of possible templates to spawn from.
For local spawners, since these are more custom, you describe a location and the prefab name of the mob you what you want to override.
The mod modification happens at run-time, once for each spawner. Reloading the world resets all changes. As the player moves through the world, the game loads in the various spawners, and the mod applies its own settings.
All of this might be more complicated than what you need or want. Therefore, "spawn_that.simple.cfg" exists to provide simpler modifiers to world spawner mobs. These will simply scale the number of mobs up or down.
Be aware, these will be applied after any other configurations to world spawners have been set. Meaning if you have 10 times spawning in your "spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg", and the same in the simple config, you are going to end up with 100x spawning.

World spawner templates are managed through the "spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg" file.
There are currently 43 default templates, which can be overriden by setting a matching index (starting from 0).
The general config contains debugging options, which can be toggled to create a file containing all templates before the mod applies its changes, and after.

Local spawners are customly set up in the world, based on pre-defined location setups. This means they are each customized to the location at which they are placed, and are not as easily "targetted" as the world spawners templates are.
To modify a local spawner, you must specify a location and mob prefab name you want to apply a configuration to.
Every combination of Location and PrefabName must be unique.
The general config contains debugging options, which can be toggled to create a file containing all default local spawner configs before the mod applies its changes.
Replaces all boars usually spawning at boar runestones, with trolls.
