How do (Modify)?

{CONFIGURATION} Nerd Shit

This is for the fellas who wanna tweak how common these traders are.

Located in: assets/animaltrader/patches/traders-spawn.json

"minGroupDistance": 1500, // set set lower for smaller distance between spawns

"name": "Livestock Home",

"chance": 0.5, // set higher for increased spawns

"MinSpawnDistance": 1500, // set lower for smaller distance to worldspawn position

Why do?

Similar to Drocust Classes, I always wanted to make my very own custom Trader NPC. With there being a slight gap in animal trade, I figured why not?
