Is this possible using the commands? I've looked everywhere in google in the mods section and in steam workshop but can't find a plain answer. If it is possible what am I missing? If not, is it possible to make a mod that spawns monsters from other mods? If any of this exists already I'd be grateful if someone pointed me out in the right direction. Thanks
Check your log file. Its called starbound (no numbers) Starbound/storage You can paste it here using pastebin.com or using the code tags I can tell you I have been able to spawn a custom monster I have made, using that command.
[01:53:25.576] [Warn] Could not spawn Monster of type 'smoglinz', exception caught: (JsonException) No such key in Json::get("appliesWeatherStatusEffects") [01:53:25.679] [Info] Chat: <server> Could not spawn Monster of type 'smoglinz' I found this where ever I attempt to spawn the monster
that is why it will not spawn. If you need help working it out , just post the files and someone can poke through them
