@Inseerlink: I am active, indeed :) Sadly, any mod that changes hounds or bosses in any other way than this mod does, require quite a bit of work since they're handled by scripts that aren't easily overridable. It can probably all be done, though. You can ask one of the authors of the hound-adjustment mods if they would do it, or perhaps request someone to make it on Klei's DST Modding forum. I'm a bit too busy at the moment. The fundamental stuff is done by those mods, but they need an extra system to handle ramping all the variables.

Best wishes, Ultroman the Tacoman

Wow! The author is still active! :o :D
btw, I accidentally came here looking for a mod that makes it so that any spawned bosses does not disappear once the season is over. Does anyone know about one?

I am looking for a harder balanced approach to the game, something like scaling boss timers, scaling boss numbers, scaling hounds timer, scaling hounds damage, bosses does not disappear if not dealt with, etc

I mean, this is probably to wrong place to write about this, I should probably open a discussion xD

@ALEXANDER YT: No. There is an option for 1 million days.
ALEXZANDER 5 Mar, 2022 @ 11:33pm

@pare4070: You can't.
Please read the description. I have tried updating it to be more...descriptive.

how do i make a boss spawn
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 20 Apr, 2019 @ 11:46pm 
@Baron Jack: You're absolutely right! I hadn't thought of that :)
Baron Jack 20 Apr, 2019 @ 3:57pm 
This will be useful when u want bosses to spawn in short and very short seassons! :steamsalty:
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 20 Aug, 2018 @ 5:19pm 
Just went through the game code, to ensure that this mod still works as intended.

There has been no change to the spawning patterns. All bosses have specific seasons and other conditions, determining when they can spawn, and the rest is up to randomness. Except for the one variable which this mod changes, which is a hard minimum on how many days MUST pass, before ANY boss can spawn. Think of it merely as the number of days you are guaranteed to be safe from bosses.

Sincerely, Ultroman the Tacoman

Thanks, will they then spawn at regular intervals?
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 13 Aug, 2018 @ 8:54am 
Well, figure out which day is mid-season to you. IIRC winter starts around day 20-21 in a default game. You can easily look up the season data online, to see roughly how long each season can be, and then estimate a number of days. When you have a number of days in mind, open the mod settings for this mod, and select the amount of days. Think of that number as: how many days you want to be safe, minus 1.
jupiterLILY 11 Aug, 2018 @ 2:50am 
I want to make it so that the bosses spawn closer to mid season instead of at the beginning but I'm a little confsed as to how.

@Cohonelson: Thank YOU for voicing your opinion to me! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Just like you change settings for any other mod. You have to enable it specifically on the server. The regular Mods-menu does not work for server-only mods, like this one is. From the main menu, do this: Click "Play" => Click "Host Game" => Select your server (on the left) => Click the "Mods"-tab in the top. => Click on "Server Mods" => Scroll down to "Time Your Own Boss" in the list of mods => Click the brown square, so it has a V in it => Click the screw next to it, to setup the mod => Click "Resume World" at the bottom.

how do you change the days
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 21 Dec, 2016 @ 2:35pm 
Please read the usage notes in the description. This mod never promised to be a sure thing. To make a mod that definitively changes the days between each boss spawn, would be very intrusive and complex.
Albert Camelus 21 Dec, 2016 @ 7:58am 
Doesn't work at all, timed the boss 1-2 days, didn't even arrive at the 4th day please update this.
Fancy Bunny 3 Sep, 2016 @ 7:34pm 
Ah. Cool. Had fun with all those deerclops :demoticon:
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 3 Sep, 2016 @ 9:36am 
0 = any time. Bosses spawn wherever they'd normally spawn. This mod just sets the overall limit, for how early they can start to spawn. Normally they can only spawn after 20 days or so. On 0, the game can spawn then from the start. There are other variables in place, for when to spawn each specific boss, but this setting is global for all of them.
Fancy Bunny 2 Sep, 2016 @ 5:10pm 
So does 0 mean they can spawn anytime anywhere or not at all?
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 28 Apr, 2016 @ 4:24pm 
@Shadow Dude --> See my previous comment beginning with "@Carnivor". Its probably on the previous comment-page. It explains step-by-step how to use the mod.
fluffy 28 Apr, 2016 @ 3:44pm 
HOW DO I USE IT??
gurkoz 26 Apr, 2016 @ 8:50am 
Awesome mod! Recommended!

cool :steammocking:

Klei has fixed the bug concerning mod settings! :D
Settings should now be applied correctly when starting a server, instead of reverting to default settings.

As always, please do report any bugs!

Sincerely, Ultroman
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 13 Feb, 2016 @ 12:42pm 
The last update to DST broke all mods with settings in them. No matter what you set your options to, they are always reset to defaults when starting a server. Dedicated servers have another set of problems. Klei is working on it. There's nothing I can do :(
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 31 Jan, 2016 @ 2:52pm 
Hello, friends!

'Temperature Tuner' and 'Resurrection Tuner' (formerly 'Revival Penalties And U') have had major overhauls! 'Temperature Tuner' now has 26 settings!! 'Resurrection Tuner' now has settings for starting health, sanity and hunger after being resurrected.

Check them out!
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 31 Jan, 2016 @ 6:42am 
Thank you so much to all who use and RATE this mod! It is the second of my mods to receive a Steam-rating, and all but one of the ratings have been positive :D Thanks for that! It warms my heart. To that one person who gave it a bad rating, I'd love to know why, so I might improve the mod.

Due to Steam's weird rating system, the mod only gets 3 stars, because of the huge difference between the number of subscribers and the number of ratings, so 3 stars is the best I can get, with only 26 ratings. It's a bit weird, but that's how it works.

If you feel that this mod deserves more than 3 stars, please do rate, so we don't confuse people into thinking that this is only a 3-star mod.

Heheh, at least they will come early, when you have only berries to throw at them XD

Ghostface 13 Nov, 2015 @ 8:12pm 
now my most retardted server is at hands :steammocking:
Wave 17 Oct, 2015 @ 9:54am 
ok thanks:steamhappy:
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 16 Oct, 2015 @ 2:56am 
@gorolo1: No. That would be an entirely different mod. I can make it, though, if I can find some spare time at some point :)
Wave 15 Oct, 2015 @ 8:18pm 
can you make a update for the mod that sets time between hound attacks
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 15 Oct, 2015 @ 2:03pm 
@Carnivor: You have to enable it specifically on the server. The Mods-menu does not work for server-only mods, like this one is. From the main menu, do this: Click "Play" => Click "Host Game" => Select your server (on the left) => Click the "Mods"-tab in the top. => Click on "Server Mods" => Scroll down to "Time Your Own Boss" in the list of mods => Click the brown square, so it has a V in it => Click the screw next to it, to setup the mod => Click "Resume World" at the bottom.

Other than that, I have to refer to the description above: "There are several variables that factor in, when the game decides which boss to spawn and when. This just sets one of those, albeit the most important one. I cannot guarantee that a boss arrives at the exact day you choose!"
Carnivor 15 Oct, 2015 @ 1:35pm 
yes i open server and try but i dont seen . in mods menu and the mainmenu is enable . why doesnt work i dont understand
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 15 Oct, 2015 @ 1:16pm 
@Carnivor: What's your setup? How did you test it? Did you remember to turn it on for your specific server, or did you only set it up in the Mods menu, the one available from the mainmenu?
Carnivor 14 Oct, 2015 @ 11:48am 
it doesnt work
Wave 14 Jun, 2015 @ 1:40pm 
kk
Ultroman the Tacoman  [author] 14 Jun, 2015 @ 12:48pm 
Just the bosses. The hounds are a completely different mechanism. Quite moddable, though.
Wave 14 Jun, 2015 @ 12:41pm 
does this include hounds? or just the bosses?

Good luck with that. No, really, I mean it :D
I'm picturing 10 people chipping away on Bearger with axes for an hour XD
