Quick answer
Which Natural Spawns release should I use?
Natural Spawns 1.2.2 targets 1.21.0, 1.21.1, 1.21.2. Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Natural Spawns required on the client, server, or both?
Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server.
This Vintage Story file is marked server-only.
What else does Natural Spawns 1.2.2 need?
1.2.2. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Additional Spawn Constraints first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
