    This idea is pretty simple.
    Have a block that we can place anywhere to spawn NPC creatures.
    The creatures would spawn from and in the vacinity of the spawn block.
    It's pretty much like the undeathinator, but purely for spawning creature NPCs.

    This block would be configurable like a BobbyAI block, where you would have either drop down and/or tick box options to choose the parameters of the NPC to be spawned.
    Maybe have a server config to adjust this to allow server operators to limit SPAM or load.
    Potential options for the NPCs spawned could be;

    • NPC Type/Name (Aracnid, Humanoid, etc)
    • Time intervals to spawn at, e.g. every 5 secs/mins/hours/days/months/years
    • Max quantity, 1-10.
    • AI Intelligience Level, 1-10.
    • Visual Range. Pretty much for when the NPC notices the player or other NPCs.
    • Audio Range. Same as visual, but for hearing disturbances.

    Naturally, have some presets already there so the player can just drop the block and choose the NPC Type/Name without configuring the traits.

    I'm sure the Starmade community has a wealth of constructive ideas and comments they could add to this.
