3.10.0 - What's New Added custom portal spawn locations for Auto Spawn and Purchased Dungeons. Added admin commands to add, remove, and list custom portal spawn locations. Added underground dungeon generation. Negative `Dungeon Height` values, such as `-180`, now place dungeons below terrain. Added the `/dungeons` admin chat command and `dungeons` console command to list all active dungeons with tier, grid, origin, current state, player count, and owner when applicable. Added automatic stuck detection and local recovery for dungeon scientists when movement is blocked by dungeon geometry. Fixed players being able to damage dungeon NPCs through garage doors or walls by shooting exposed hands, weapons, or other clipped parts. Direct player damage now requires a clear line to the NPC's body. Fixed NPCs remaining permanently stuck behind walls after repeatedly failing to reach a movement target. Fixed stale cached entity IDs when dungeon doors are removed after a dungeon is cleared. Reworked dungeon entity detection to use indexed Network IDs instead of repeatedly scanning every entity in every active dungeon from frequently called hooks. Changed runtime dungeon entity collections to hash-based lookups for faster membership checks. Batched dungeon entity cache writes instead of reading and rewriting the cache file for every entity spawned. Reduced unnecessarily aggressive custom turret and NPC update rates. Staggered NPC and animal update start times to reduce synchronized frame spikes in large dungeons. Reduced player target rescans performed by dungeon scientists. Removed avoidable allocations from nearby-NPC alerting and dungeon-clear entity checks. Renamed the Dungeon Height config label to document terrain and underground behavior. Existing configs using the old key are migrated automatically and keep their current value.

Thanks for the detailed report and for pointing me toward the underground approach. I've added proper negative-height support now. Setting `Dungeon Height` to a negative value such as `-180` will create the dungeon below terrain instead of snapping it back to the surface. Underground mode also handles the Rust terrain protection issue that was killing players below the map, and InsideTerrain violations are ignored while a player is actually inside a spawned underground dungeon. This prevents the terrain death / anti-hack kick problem when using underground dungeons. I also made sure the garage-door damage protection in this update doesn't block explosion or heat damage, so explosives can still damage dungeon NPCs as intended.

No, not currently. DungeonEvents uses its own NPC spawning and AI system, so it does not rely on or integrate with the NpcSpawn plugin.

I’m already working on this and plan to include it in an update later this week.
