The best NPC Plugin out there hands down- Easy to Learn, and much better than most available npc plugins.
would recommend buying it, randomly stumbled upon this while looking for other NPC Spawning plugins, and this one is far superior. 👍

GREAT addon always being updated and bringing new features to server owners! 100% worth every penny, no other NPC addon even compares to what BotReSpawn can bring!

Great plugin, I had a hard time picking a premium botplugin, and took my time to compare it with others. The big selling point for me was the in game UI that makes your life so much easier and most of the changes can be made in game. That said, I had some troubles getting familiar with it. The description has a lot of info, but I felt some kind of video tutorial would be very helpful how to use the UI and such. Over time, I did learn most of it by just working and playing with it. The plugin itself is topnotch IMO, it is always up-to-date and have a lot of options to rework bots to your desire

I used BotSpawn for ~2years, I was really satisfied and now with BotReSpawn I'm even more Satisfied the plugin is just perfect I love it, the only thing I miss is the old loot tab from BotSpawn with "CustomLoot" but it's not updated anymore, except that the plugin is perfect, I love it

(sorry for my bad English, it's not my main language)

Response from the author:

Discussed in DM - CustomLoot is maintained and fully compatible with BotReSpawn. 👍

Haven't written a review on this.
No idea what the holdup was.
So here I go.

I've been a BotSpawn user about as long as the plugin existed.
And @Steenamaroohas been an epic dev since then through BotReSpawn.
Both with development and support.

Some people don't like the cost of the plugin.
But you have to consider exactly what you are getting.
And that's a core part of the server experience.
Both PvE And PvP.

You can take a low pop server and increase the activity from nothing to "Okay, what do i need to put on before I head out?"
Take a dead monument and populate it with standard NPCs or "zombies".
Set XX roaming NPCs per biome.
Pair with the Kits plugin to give them a particular look, either to confuse players so they can't tell if they are another player, or so they only look like an NPC (based on your server settings, of course).

You can even create bosses with the plugin if you want to put the time into it.
It will tell players when they spawn, set the HP, damage, kit, loot.

The config (data files) are a bit intimidating at first.
Though, once you have an understanding of them, it's a really simple to edit from there.
The actual config file is pretty straight forward.
You can also use the in game GUI to make changes to the general server settings.
But when you need to make the fine detail changes, you have to go manual.

I personally believe that this plugin is a 100% must have for all modded servers.
Even if you aren't going to go to the extent of adding kits and making bosses, fine-tuning hp/damage per tiered location etc.
The biome roamers and adding bots to dead monuments is key to keeping servers active during downtime on PvP and honestly is a requirement on PvE.

I don't have a high pop server by any stretch of the imagination.
But I do have a loyal player base and this plugin plays a key part in that.

tl;dr buy it

This plugin is Worth the price it is.
It simply adds a lot for my PVE server. It does add the possibility to fight anything else than just animals or road NPCs.

The support from the developer Steenamaroo is fine, he does fix and listen to us when something need to be fixed and added. He is also open to suggestion.

This is the second time I am updating my review. BotReSpawn has become the plugin that I prioritize over all others; in other words, if another plugin conflicts with BotReSpawn, I unload it. BotReSpawn has allowed me to create a unique, custom experience on my server. It's THE reason players stay on my server.

Why do I prioritize this plugin over all others?

  • The ability to customize how and where your NPCs spawn, whether you want to assign them to an existing monument OR create your own
  • The AI of the bots is realistic, unpredictable, and continue to get better over time; I use several bot plugins on my server and the botrespawn ones are my personal favorite 
  • Adjusting the way they look and what weapons they use with kits makes configuration dead simple
  • The GUI is easy to use and the config files are easy to understand; @Steenamaroo does a great job explaining how and why things work the way they do
  • You can copy settings from one group of NPCs and apply them to another with one click; you can also save templates and import them
  • If you want to save specific loadouts (for example, for events like Halloween), there's now a button to do that
  • @Steenamaroo is ALWAYS responsive and respectful (even when it's user error), and continuously improving the the plugin

This is a must have plugin for any modded server, especially for PvE environments., and the functionality combined with the support offered is well worth the investment.

Love this plugin. It makes it so simple to spawn bots.
Brought life to the new hapis map within no time. 

It offers configs for everything, finding monuments itself, or you can just make new profiles quickly.

The default npcs dont feel overpowered and i dont have to spend years setting up new configs for every monument again and again.

And the most important for me:  Friendly and competent support 🙂

Its deffo worth every penny!

Thank you! 😊

BotSpawn has been a staple of Rust's modded community for years now and BotReSpawn has taken things to a new level. It has intelligent features that save time, it's easy to setup, has tight integration with kits, and overall will add a significant amount of value to your server.

You'll also never go wrong with a Steenamaroo plugin as far as support goes. He's always very responsive, cares about issues, and releases thoughtful solutions. For years he's tirelessly improved upon his plugins and that's greatly appreciated.

5 stars in my book and I'm not one for giving high ratings! I recommend this plugin for any modded server.

Nice plugin, But when i try to change respawn timer ,then they still respawn in 15-20sec, I have it on 600. 

Response from the author:

Hi Butler,
Are you reloading the profile after making changes? There's a button for that in UI.
If so, are you certain the respawning npcs are from the same profile? You can confirm by getting close and doing /botrespawn info

Also, the respawn timer is in minutes, rather than seconds. If you wanted 10 minute respawn, you'd need to put in '10'.
DM me or create a support request if you aren't able to get this sorted.
We'll get it figured out. 🙂

I was a user of the old botspawn plugin, I think this is well worth $40, a lot easier to use thanks to the in game UI.

Keep up the good work.

A brilliant plugin that works a treat and is constantly worked on with fast fixes for any issues if they arise not to mention after-sales support from the dev is superb happy to pay the price as he works hard and has given us free plugins for years nice to give something back.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was one of the many who were disappointed with how the transition of this plugin from being free to premium happened without any advanced warning. However, I'm reviewing the plugin itself and not my opinion on how the switch over was handled....

Is the plugin worth the asking price? Absolutely it is, and it should have never been free in the first place in my opinion. BotSpawn has always been the go to plugin for most server owners that want to add hostile bots to their server, and that fact doesn't change with the new BotReSpawn version. The plugin functions as advertised and can truly add value to your server if set up/used correctly. Steen (the developer) seems committed to ensuring that the plugin offers features and functions that fit each users specific needs (where possible). He is very responsive to inquiries and does seem to truly care that people are happy with his product. This combined with the quality of the plugin itself makes the price justified.

I intended to use the free version from Bot Spawn for my new project right when the AI update from Facepunch made it unusable. First I really didnt know if it was really worth the 40$ for having some bots on my server but I totally payed out. The plugin works really well, the Bots do what they are supposed to do and most important, the support from the creator is absolutely top tier! I always got a response just a couple of minutes after I posted something - thats a support really worth being called so.

Of course there are some minor problems, but Steen reacts immediately to the issues.

Absolutely NO cash grab, like some people call it - yes it takes some time to be set up but even I, who had absolutely no experience with plugins of that size, made it work.

Great job Steen, totally worth the money!

Big thumbs up!

Steanamaroo has been kicking down killer plugins, and working with us even on Umod. I use at least 5 of his plugins. Just the time he spent with me over the last couple of years on various plugins is worth the $40.

 

Thanks

I for one don't mind paying for this plugin, even if it does have a few bugs. Steanamaroo has been very helpful fixing the issues I've had with it and patched it reasonably quickly.

 

You lot need to remember that Steanamaroo was rushed to release this because of the major changes to AI in the latest Rust update. It is NOT finished yet. When it is, I have no doubt that it will far exceed the old version.

 

Many complain this site was created off the back of the free version and making it paid is somehow "wrong" and "unfair" on the modded Rust community because of it, but you also need to remember this site has also helped deserving authors get paid for their plugins which many have put massive amounts of work into so the way I see it is the plugin that helped make it possible deserves some kickback as well. We got it for free for a long time and for that we need to be grateful and thankful, but ffs stop whinging and cough up. The author deserves it, and YOU owe it to YOUR community to support the authors of these plugins that are exceptional compared to most others.

Great plugin as it's always been, but wow what a major disappointment that the dev decided to make this such a high price out of NOWHERE. Time to completely redo my config files, thanks.

Updated Review: While the death of botspawn and initial launch of botrespawn was a harsh reality for pve server owners this month, this plugin continues to be the best product possible in regards to bot spawn management.  There is simply no other plugin like it.  At first I was very hesitant on the UI interface as there were initial cumbersome issues that made it difficult to use.  With the addition of a few suggestions, the plugin author was able to improve functionality and give us the best of both worlds between botspawn and botrespawn.  Developer continues to listen to issues and does great in listening to feedback.  This situation made a lot of people angry because it was more about communication than the cost of the plugin but at the end of the day the plugin is working great and I'm appreciative that my ideas and considered right away to make this plugin more awesome.
