You're no longer the only PMC running around placing markers and collecting quest items. The bots have transcended and are coming for you...

**---------- Mod Compatibility ----------**

**REQUIRES:**
* [BigBrain](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/902/bigbrain) (1.4.0 or later)
* [Waypoints](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/827/waypoints-expanded-navmesh) (1.8.2 or later)

**Highly Recommended:**
* [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement) (4.4.3 or later recommended)
* [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) (1.6.3 or later recommended)

**Partially compatible with:**
* [Vagabond](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2642/vagabond) and similar mods that significantly reduce spawn points (You MUST use another mod like [Acid's Bot Placement System](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2097/abps-acids-bot-placement-system) to manage bot spawning when using this mod. Otherwise, bots will spawn right in front of you.)

**NOT compatible with:**
* [Phobos](https://github.com/SleepingPills/Phobos)
* [ORBIT](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2706/orbit)
* [AI Limit](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/1945/ai-limit) or any other mods that disable AI in a similar manner. This mod relies on the AI being active throughout the entire map. **Starting with 0.2.10, Questing Bots has its own AI Limiter feature.** Please see the tab below for more information.

**NOTE: Please disable the bot-spawning system in this mod if you're using other mods that manage spawning! Otherwise, there will be too many bots on the map. The bot-spawning system in this mod will be automatically disabled** if any of the following mods are detected:
* [Unda](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/1173/unda)
* [Acid's Bot Placement System](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2097/abps-acids-bot-placement-system)

**---------- Overview ----------**

There are two main components of this mod: adding an objective system to the AI and directly controlling PMC and player-Scav spawning to mimic live Tarkov.

**Objective System:**
Instead of simply patrolling their spawn areas, bots will now move around the map to perform randomly-selected quest objectives. By default this system is only active for PMC's and player Scavs, but it can be enabled for normal Scavs and bosses if you want an extra challenge.

After spawning (regardless of when this occurs during the raid), bots will immediately begin questing, and there are only a few conditions that will cause them to stop questing:
* They got stuck too many times
* Their health is too low and they're unable to heal
* They're over-encumbered
* They're trying to extract (using [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement))

Otherwise, they will only temporarily stop questing for the following reasons:
* They're currently or were just recently in combat
* They heard a suspicious noise
* They recently completed an objective
* They're checking for or have found loot
* Their health is too low or they have blacked limbs (besides arms)
* Their energy or hydration is too low
* They have followers that are too far from them

There are several types of quests available to each bot:
* **EFT Quests:** Bots will go to locations specified in EFT quests for placing markers, collecting/placing items, killing other bots, etc. Bots can also use quests added by other mods. 
* **Spawn Rush:** At the beginning of the raid, bots that are within a certain distance of you will run to your spawn point. Only a certain number of bots are allowed to perform this quest, and they won't always select it. This makes PVP-focused maps like Factory even more challenging. 
* **Boss Hunter:** Bots will search zones in which bosses are known to spawn. They will only be allowed to select this quest at the beginning of the raid (within the first 5 minutes by default) and if they're a high enough level.
* **Airdrop Chaser:** Bots will run to the most recent airdrop if it's close to them (within 500m by default). They will be allowed to select this quest within **questing.bot_quests.airdrop_bot_interest_time** seconds (420s by default) of the airdrop crate landing.
* **Spawn Point Wandering:** Bots will wander to different spawn points around the map. This is used as a last resort in case the bot doesn't select any other quests. This quest is currently disabled by default because it should no longer be needed with the quest variety offered in the 0.4.0 and later releases.  
* **"Standard" Quests:** Bots will go to specified locations around the map. They will prioritize more desirable locations for loot and locations that are closer to them. These also include some sniping and camping quests on all maps, so be careful!
* **"Custom" Quests:** You can create your own quests for bots using the templates for "standard" quests. None are provided by default.

**PMC and Player-Scav Spawning Systems:**
At the beginning of the raid, PMC's will spawn around the map at actual EFT PMC spawn points. The spawning system will try to separate spawn points as much as possible, but spawn killing is still entirely possible just like it is in live Tarkov. The total number of PMC's that can spawn is a random number between the minimum and maximum player count for the map (other mods can change these values). However, you count as one of those PMC's for PMC raids. That number will be reduced if you spawn into the map late for a Scav run. The PMC difficulty is set by your raid settings in EFT.

Starting with the 0.4.0 release, player Scavs will also spawn throughout the raid. Each group of player Scavs will be assigned a minimum spawn time that is generated using SPT's raid-time-reduction settings for Scav raids. This mod will use SPT's weighting settings for choosing when player Scavs will spawn into each location, it will add some randomness, and then it will generate a spawn schedule for all player-Scav spawns. Effectively, this means that player Scavs are most likely to spawn toward the middle and last third of raids. They're unlikely to spawn toward the very beginning or very end of them. Player Scavs can spawn at any EFT PMC or player-Scav spawn point on the map, and player-Scav bot difficulty is set by your raid settings in EFT.

Only a certain (configurable) number of initial PMC's will spawn at the beginning of the raid, and the rest will spawn as the existing ones die. PMC's that spawn after the initial wave can spawn anywhere that is far enough from you and other bots (at any EFT spawn point for PMC's or player Scavs). After all PMC's have spawned, player Scavs will be allowed to spawn. The maximum total number of PMC's and player Scavs on the map cannot exceed the number of initial PMC's (determined by **bot_spawns.max_alive_bots**). For example, Customs allows 10-12 players, but Questing Bots only allows 7 to be on the map at the same time by default. That means 7 PMC's will spawn immediately as the raid starts, and as some of them die others will spawn to replace them. After all PMC's have spawned and less than 7 are remaining, player Scavs will be allowed to spawn. If there are 5 PMC's left on the map, 2 player Scavs will be allowed to spawn. If there are 3 PMC's left on the map, 4 player Scavs will be allowed to spawn, and so on. Even if most total PMC's have died, player Scavs will not be allowed to spawn earlier than their scheduled spawn times.

A new feature of the 0.4.0 and later releases is an advanced spawning system that tricks EFT into thinking that PMC's and player Scavs are human players. This makes PMC's and player Scavs not count toward the bot cap for the map, so they shouldn't impede normal EFT bot spawns for normal Scavs and bosses. It also prevents PMC's and player Scavs from counting toward the maximum bot counts for each zone on the map, and this allows normal Scavs to spawn like they would in live EFT. Without this system, all initial bosses must be configured to spawn first (which is a config option in this mod) or EFT may suppress them due to the high number of bots on the map. To accomodate the large initial PMC wave and still allow Scavs and bosses to spawn, the bot cap can be optionally increased (which is also a config option in this mod) if you're not using the advanced spawning system.

**---------- Bot Quest-Selection Algorithm Overview ----------**

When each bot spawns, this mod finds the furthest extract from them and references it when selecting new quests for the bot. If the bot ever comes close enough to that extract while traversing the map, this happens again; a new extract is selected for it that is the furthest one from its current location. This continues until the bot extracts or dies. This extract is NOT used when bots extract via [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement); it is only used when this mod selects new quests for the bot.

Before selecting a quest for a bot, all quests are first filtered to ensure they have at least one valid location on the map and the bot is able to accept the quest (it's not blocked by player level, etc.). Then, the following metrics are generated for every valid quest:
1) The distance between the bot and each objective for the quest with some randomness applied (by **questing.bot_quests.distance_randomness**). This value is then normalized based on the furthest objective from the bot (for any valid quest), and finally it's multiplied by a weighting factor defined by **questing.bot_quests.distance_weighting** (1 by default).
2) A "desirability" rating for each quest, which is the desirability rating assigned to the quest but with some randomness applied (by **questing.bot_quests.desirability_randomness**). This value is divided by 100 and then multiplied by a weighting factor defined by **questing.bot_quests.desirability_weighting** (1 by default). There are modifiers that can be applied to the desirability ratings of quests including **questing.bot_quests.desirability_camping_multiplier**, **questing.bot_quests.desirability_sniping_multiplier**, and **questing.bot_quests.desirability_active_quest_multiplier**. More information about these settings can be found in the README or GitHub repo for this mod. 
3) The angle between two vectors: the vector between the bot and its selected extract (described above), and the vector between the bot and each objective for the quest. If the quest objective is in the same direction as the bot's selected extract, this angle will be small. If the bot has to move further from its selected extract, this angle will be large. Angles that are below a certain threshold (90 deg by default) are reduced down to 0 deg. This value is divided by 180 deg minus the threshold just described (90 deg by default), and finally it's multiplied by a weighting factor defined by **questing.bot_quests.exfil_direction_weighting**, which is different for every map.

These three metrics are then added together, and the result is the overall score for the corresponding quest. The quest with the highest score is assigned to the bot. If for some reason the bot is unable to perform that quest, it selects the one with the next-highest score, and so on. If no quests are available for the bot to select, this mod will first try allowing the bot to perform repeatable quests early (before the **questing.bot_questing_requirements.repeat_quest_delay** delay expires). If there are no available repeatable quests, this mod will then attempt to make the bot extract via [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement). Finally, this mod will stop assigning new quests to the bot.

**---------- How to Add Custom Quests ----------**

To add custom quests to a map, first create a *user\mods\DanW-QuestingBots-#.#.#\quests\custom* directory if it doesn't already exist. Then, create a file for each map for which you want to add custom quests. The file name should exactly match the corresponding file in the *user\mods\DanW-QuestingBots-#.#.#\quests\standard* directory (case sensitive).

The three major data structures are:
* **Quests**: A quest is a collection of at least one quest objective, and objectives can be placed anywhere on the map. Objectives can be completed in any order.

Quests have the following properties:
    * **repeatable**: Boolean value indicating if the bot can repeat the quest later in the raid. This is typically used for quests that are PvP or PvE focused, where a bot might want to check an area again later in the raid for more enemies.
    * **isCamping**: If the quest should be considered to be a camping quest
    * **isSniping**: If the quest should be considered to be a sniping quest
    * **pmcsOnly**: Only PMC's will be allowed to select the quest
    * **minLevel**: Only bots that are at least this player level will be allowed to select the quest
    * **maxLevel**: Only bots that are at most this player level will be allowed to select the quest
    * **maxBots**: The maximum number of bots that can be performing the quest at the same time.
    * **maxBotsInGroup**: If the number of bots in a group exceeds this value, the boss of the group will not be allowed to select this quest.
    * **desirability**: A rating roughly equivalent to a percentage that indicates "how much" bots want to select this quest. Quests with high desirability ratings (50+) are very likely to be selected, and quests with low desirability ratings (<20) are unlikely to be selected unless the bot is close to them. 
    * **minRaidET**: The quest can only be selected if at least this many seconds have elapsed in the raid. This is based on the overall raid time, not the time after you spawn. For example, if you set **maxRaidET=60** for a quest and you spawn into a Factory raid with 15 minutes remaining, this quest will never be used because 300 seconds has already elapsed in the overall raid. This property is typically used to make bots rush to locations like Dorms when the raid begins. 
    * **maxRaidET**: The quest can only be selected if more more than this many seconds have elapsed in the raid. See **minRaidET** for more information.
    * **maxTimeOnQuest**: The maximum time (in seconds) that a bot is allowed to continue doing the quest after it completes at least one of its objectives. This is intended to add more variety to bot questing instead of having them stay in one area for a long period of time. By default, this is 300 seconds.
    * **alarmQuest**: The quest can only be performed if the alarm on the map is active, which only applies to Labyrinth. This is **false** by default. 
    * **canRunBetweenObjectives**: Boolean indicating if bots are allowed to sprint to the next objective in the quest after it completes at least one objective. This is intended to be used in areas where stealth is more important (typically in buildings). This is **true** by default. 
    * **requiredSwitches**: A dictionary of the switches that must be in a specific position bot bots to perform the quest. The dictionary key is the ID of the switch, and the value is a boolean indicating if the switch must be open (actuated). If the dictionary is empty, no switches will be checked. 
    * **forbiddenWeapons**: An array of weapon classes that cannot be used to perform this quest. In order for the bot to perform the quest, it must have at least one weapon that is not in the weapon classes listed in the array. The only available options for the array elements are (case-sensitive):
        * assaultCarbine
        * assaultRifle
        * grenadeLauncher
        * machinegun
        * marksmanRifle
        * pistol
        * shotgun
        * smg
        * sniperRifle
        * specialWeapon
    * **botRoleFilter**: A comma-delimited list containing the bot roles (`WildSpawnType`s) that are allowed to select the quest. If omitted or an empty string, all bot roles can select the quest (unless limited by **pmcsOnly**).
    * **name**: The name of the quest. This doesn't have to be unique, but it's best if it is to avoid confusion when troubleshooting.
    * **waypoints**: An array of waypoints that can be used to assist bots with finding paths to the quest's objectives. Each waypoint is an (x, y, z) coordinate. 
    * **objectives**: An array of the objectives in the quest. Bots can complete objectives in any order.

* **Objectives**: An objective is a collection of at least one step. An objective represents a list of actions that the bot must complete in the order you specify.

Quest objectives have the following properties:
    * **repeatable**: Boolean value indicating if the bot can repeat the quest objective later in the raid. This is typically used for quests are are PvP or PvE focused, where a bot might want to check an area again later in the raid for more enemies.
    * **minDistanceFromBot**: The objective will only be selected if the bot is at least this many meters away from it.
    * **maxDistanceFromBot**: The objective will only be selected if the bot is no more than this many meters away from it.
    * **maxRunDistance**: If bots get within this radius (in meters) of the position for the first step in the objective, they will no longer be allowed to sprint. This is intended to be used in areas where stealth is more important (typically in buildings). This is **0** by default. 
    * **lootAfterCompleting**: The only valid options for this are "Default", "Force", and "Inhibit" (case-sensitive). If "Force" is used, Questing Bots will try invoking [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) to make the bot scan for loot immediately after completing each step in the objective. However, bots will not be able to loot if they're in combat or have no available space. If "Inhibit" is used, this mod will try invoking [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) to prevent the bot from looting until after it selects another quest objective. [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) version 1.2.1 or later is required for either option to work. [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement) 2.1.9 or later is required for Questing Bots to properly force bots to loot.
    * **doorIDToUnlock**: If specified, the door with this ID must be unlocked before bots are allowed to proceed with any steps in the objective. The door's state will be checked when the bot is within **questing.unlocking_doors.search_radius** meters of the objective's first step position. 
    * **fixedPositionToUnlockDoor**: If **doorIDToUnlock** is specified, this field can optionally be added to specify an exact position where bots will stand to open the door. If this field is omitted, the interaction position will be determined programmatically. 
    * **ignoreHearing**: If **true**, bots will ignore footsteps and gunshots, unless they see an enemy or are hit by an enemy, for the entire duration during which they are performing the objective. This is used for the initial Labyrinth quests that allow bots to escape their starting chambers without being distracted. This is **false** by default. 
    * **prioritizeOverFollowing**: If **true**, bots will attempt to complete the objective even if they are followers for a questing boss. This is used for the initial Labyrinth quests that allow bots to escape their starting chambers because each bot spawns in its own chamber, even if it's a follower of another bot. This is **false** by default. 
    * **steps**: An array of the steps in the objective. Bots will complete the steps exactly in the order you specify.

* **Steps**: A step is an individual component of an objective.

Quest objective steps have the following properties:
    * **position**: The position on the map that the bot will try to reach
    * **lookToPosition**: The position on the map that bots will look toward after they reach **position**. This is only used for the **Ambush** and **Snipe** step types described below. 
    * **targetPosition**: The position on the map that that is relevant for the quest step. This is only used for the **Teleport** step type (described below) and is the teleporting destination for bots. 
    * **waitTimeAfterCompleting**: The time the bot must wait after completing the step before it will be allowed to quest again. The default value for this field is defined by **questing.default_wait_time_after_objective_completion**.
    * **stepType**: The only valid options for this are (case-sensitive):
        * **MoveToPosition**: Bots are instructed to go to **position**. If possible, they're allowed to unlock doors that block their path.
        * **Teleport** Bots are instructed to go to **position**, and then they are immediately teleported to **targetPosition**. This should only be used to allow bots to travel to locations they normally would be unable to reach (due to gaps in the NavMesh). 
        * **HoldAtPosition**: Bots are instructed to remain within **maxDistance** meters of **position** and stay alert for a random time between the min and max values of **minElapsedTime**.
        * **Ambush**: Bots are instructed to go to **position**, stand still, and look at **lookToPosition** for a random time between the min and max values of **minElapsedTime**. This is used to simulate camping quests.
        * **Snipe**: The same as **Ambush**, but bots can be interrupted if they hear suspicious noises
        * **PlantItem**: Bots are instructed to go to **position** and then crouch as low as possible for a random time between the min and max values of **minElapsedTime** to simulate them planting something. Before they crouch, they will turn around to face the direction from which they came. 
        * **ToggleSwitch**: Bots are instructed to go to **position** and toggle the switch defined by **switchID**. If the switch is locked (requiring a tool), it can only be toggled if **forceUnlock** is **true**. 
        * **RequestExtract**: This mod will try to instruct bots to extract via [SAIN](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/791/sain-solarints-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement).
        * **CloseNearbyDoors**: Bots are instructed to close all doors within **maxDistance** meters of **position**
        * **OpenNearbyDoors**: Bots are instructed to open all doors within **maxDistance** meters of **position**. Currently, they cannot unlock doors when doing this. 
    
        If **stepType** is omitted, **MoveToPosition** is used by default.
    * **minElapsedTime**: The range of minimum and maximum time that a bot will perform certain types of objective steps (namely **HoldAtPosition**, **Ambush**, and **Snipe**).
    * **switchID**: If **stepType="ToggleSwitch"**, this is the ID of the switch the bot should open. It needs to exactly match one of the results in the "Found switches" debug message shown in the bepinex console when loading into the map. 
    * **maxDistance**: If **stepType="HoldAtPosition"**, this is the maximum distance (in meters) bots will be allowed to wander from **position** for the objective step. If **stepType="CloseNearbyDoors"**, bots will close all doors within this radius of **position** (in meters).
    * **chanceOfHavingKey**: The chance that bots will have keys to unlock any doors that are blocking their paths to this objective step. This overrides the default chance of having keys defined by **questing.unlocking_doors.default_chance_of_bots_having_keys** or **questing.bot_quests.eft_quests.chance_of_having_keys**. 
    * **forceUnlock**: If **true**, bots will be able to unlock doors and toggle locked switches regardless of the value of **chanceOfHavingKey**. This is used for the initial Labyrinth quests that allow bots to escape their starting chambers without having to loot required keys and tools (which might be impossible for them to reach). This is **false** by default. 
    * **requireForFollowers**: If **true**, all followers of a questing boss will be required to perform this step after the boss completes it. This can be helpful for quest objectives that make questing bots teleport to another location that its followers cannot reach. This is **false** by default.

**Tips and Tricks**
* Objectives should be sparsely placed on the map. Since bots take a break from questing after each objective is completed, they will wander around the area (for an unknown distance) before continuing the quest. If you place objective positions too close to each other, the bot will unnecessarily run back and forth around the area. As a rule of thumb, place objectives at least 20m from each other. 
* If you want a bot to go to several specific positions that are close to each other (i.e. small, adjacent rooms), use multiple steps in a single objective instead of using multiple objectives each with a single step. 
* Bots will use the NavMesh to calculate the more efficient path to their objective (using an internal Unity algorithm). They cannot perform complex actions to reach objective locations, so avoid placing objective steps on top of objects (i.e. inside truck beds) or in areas that are difficult to reach. Bots will not know to crouch or jump to get around obstacles. 
* Quest waypoints can help bots find paths to objectives in labyrinthic areas, but adding too many to a quest may impact performance.

**---------- Bot Group Spawning System ----------**

* Spawn chances for various group sizes are configurable. By default, solo spawns are most likely, but 2-man and 3-man groups will be commonly seen. 4-man and 5-man groups are rare but possible. 
* EFT will assign one bot in the group to be a "boss", and the boss will select the quest to perform. All other bots in the group will follow the boss unless they are performing an objective for which **prioritizeOverFollowing** is **true**. 
* If any group members stray too far from the boss, the boss will stop questing and attempt to regroup unless it's performing an objective for which **prioritizeOverFollowing** is **true**. 
* If any member of the group engages in combat or hears a suspicious noise, all other members will stop questing (or following) and engage in combat too. 
* If the boss is allowed to sprint, so are its followers and vice versa. 
* If the boss of a bot group dies, EFT will automatically assign a new one from the remaining members
* Followers are only allowed to loot if they remain within a certain distance from the boss

**---------- AI Limiter System ----------**

Since normal AI Limit mods will disable bots that are questing (which will prevent them from exploring the map), this mod has its own AI Limiter with the following features:
* AI Limiting must be explicitly enabled in the F12 menu. 
* AI Limiting must be explicitly enabled for bots that are questing for each map. By default, questing bots will only be disabled on Streets. 
* Bots will only be allowed to be disabled if they are beyond a certain distance (200m by default) from human players. There are individual map-specific distances that can be adjusted by enabling advanced settings in the F12 menu, but the global setting will take priority. In other words, the actual limiting distance is the minimum of the two (the map-specific value and the global value). By default, all map-specific distances are set to 1000m to avoid confusion when only the global setting is adjusted.  
* Bots will only be allowed to be disabled if they are beyond a certain distance (75m by default) from other bots that are questing (and not disabled)

**---------- Scav Spawn Restrictions System ----------**

The Questing Bots spawning system adds PMC and player-Scav spawns on top of existing vanilla EFT spawns to mimic the live PvP experience as much as possible. However, that also means issues with vanilla EFT spawning will also exist while using this mod, including excessive Scav spawning that overwhelms players. This is especially a problem in live PvE.

To mitigate Scav spawning issues experienced in live EFT, the 0.9.1 release introduces several F12 menu options to intervene with its Scav spawning system:
* **Enable Scav Spawn Restrictions**: Completely enable or disable all features described below. 
* **Map Fraction for Scav Spawning Exclusion Radius**: In live PvP and PvE, Scavs may spawn as close as 1.8m from you, which is immersion-breaking and unfair. Questing Bots significantly increases the minimum distance from you that Scavs can spawn, based on this slider value. First, it finds the maximum distance between any two spawn points on the map (which approximates the map size). Then, it calculates the minimum spawning distance for Scavs by multiplying this distance by the slider value (0.1 by default). Finally, it blocks EFT from spawning any Scavs within the calculated minimum spawning distance of any players (human, AI PMC, or AI player Scav). Because the minimum distance scales with the map size, practically this means that Scavs cannot spawn within ~100m of you on Customs but only ~17m of you on Factory (using the default setting). Higher values may overly restrict Scav spawns, while lower values have a higher risk of Scavs spawning near you.
* **Permitted Scav Spawn Rate**: As Scavs are killed, EFT rapidly spawns new ones to replace them (until the map's bot cap is reached). This means you can get stuck in situations where Scavs are constantly swarming you during the raid. To alleviate this problem, Questing Bots limits the rate at which EFT is allowed to spawn Scavs to this slider value (2.5 Scavs / minute by default). This restriction begins after a certain number of Scavs have spawned, determined by the value of **Threshold for Scav Spawn Rate Limit** (see below). The time window used to calculate the Scav spawn rate is defined by **bot_spawns.eft_new_spawn_system_adjustments.scav_spawn_rate_time_window** (300s by default). 
* **Threshold for Scav Spawn Rate Limit**: EFT will be allowed to spawn this number of Scavs from the start of the raid, and then Scav spawns will be limited by **Permitted Scav Spawn Rate**. The purpose of this threshold is to ensure the map is initially populated before Scav respawns are blocked. This is set to 10 by default.
* **Max Alive Scavs**: The total number of **assault**, **assaultGroup**, **cursedAssault**, and **marksman** Scavs that are alive on the map at the same time will be limited to this value (15 by default). Questing Bots will prevent EFT from spawning additional Scavs if this limit would be exceeded.

If Scav spawns are blocked by either the **Permitted Scav Spawn Rate** or **Max Alive Scavs** restrictions, Questing Bots will prevent EFT from attempting to spawn additional Scavs by the number of seconds defined by **bot_spawns.eft_new_spawn_system_adjustments.non_wave_retry_delay_after_blocked** (180s by default).

* **questing.bot_pathing_update_interval_ms**: The interval (in milliseconds) at which each bot will recalculate its path to its current objective. If this value is very low, performance will be impacted. If this value is very high, the bot will not react to obstacles changing as quickly (i.e. doors being unlocked). By default, this is **100** ms.
* **questing.brain_layer_priorities.xxx.xxx**: The priority numbers assigned to the "brain" layers for this mod. One group is of priorities is used when SAIN is installed, and the other is used when SAIN is not installed. **Do not change these unless you know what you're doing!**

* **questing.update_bot_zone_after_stopping**: Whenever a bot stops going to its quest objective (for any reason), check which BotZone is closest to the bot's current location and assign it to the bot's group (if it's different). This prevents bots from running away from their current location whenever they take a break from questing. This check will only be performed for solo bots or bosses of bot groups. Otherwise, followers may cause the whole group to retreat if they get stuck somewhere. This is **true** by default. 
* **questing.wait_time_before_planting**: If the bot needs to plant an item at a quest location, this is the time (in seconds) it will wait between reaching its target location and beginning to "plant" the required item.

* **questing.quest_generation.navmesh_search_distance_zone**: The radius (in meters) around target positions in zones (i.e. trigger areas for placing markers) to seach for a valid NavMesh position to use for a target location for creating a quest objective for it. If this value is too low, bots may not be able to generate a complete path to the zone. If this value is too high, bots may generate paths into adjacent rooms or to vertical positions on different floors. This is **1.5** m by default. The target position for a zone is the center-most valid NavMesh position in it. If the zone surrounds multiple floors in a building, the lowest floor is typically used. 
* **questing.quest_generation.navmesh_search_distance_spawn**: The radius (in meters) around spawn points to seach for a valid NavMesh position to use for a target location for creating a quest objective for it. If this value is too low, bots may not be able to generate a complete path to the spawn point. If this value is too high, bots may generate paths into adjacent rooms or to vertical positions on different floors. This is **2** m by default. 
* **questing.quest_generation.navmesh_search_distance_doors**: The radius (in meters) to search for a valid NavMesh position around the test points used for determining if a bot can unlock a door.

* **questing.bot_pathing.disable_eft_local_avoidance**: If EFT's "local avoidance" system should be disabled for questing bots. When enabled, this system prevents bots from being too close to each other by adding "inertia" to oppose them and possible teleport them to another location.

* **questing.bot_questing_requirements.hearing_sensor.suspicious_time.min/max**: If a bot becomes suspicious of a noise, they will stop questing until a random amount of time (in seconds) in this range has passed after the last suspicious noise they heard. 
* **questing.bot_questing_requirements.hearing_sensor.max_suspicious_time**: The maximum time (in seconds) that a bot can remain suspicious of noises it hears before it will be forced to ignore them for at least **questing.bot_questing_requirements.hearing_sensor.suspicion_cooldown_time** seconds. This is to prevent bots for remaining in one spot for a long time, especially for PVP-focused maps like Factory. The value of this is map-specific. 
* **questing.bot_questing_requirements.hearing_sensor.suspicion_cooldown_time**: If a bot is suspicious for at least **questing.bot_questing_requirements.hearing_sensor.max_suspicious_time** seconds, it will be forced to ignore suspicious noises for this amount of time (in seconds) before it will be allowed to be suspicious of noises again.

* **questing.bot_questing_requirements.break_for_looting.min_time_between_looting_events**: The minimum delay (in seconds) after a bot successfully finds loot before it will be allowed to take a break again. If this value is very low, bots may frequently back-track and may never reach their objectives. If this value is high, bots will rarely loot. This supersedes **bot_questing_requirements.break_for_looting.min_time_between_looting_checks**, and it requires [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) (or it will be ignored). This is **80** s by default. 
* **questing.bot_questing_requirements.break_for_looting.max_time_to_start_looting**: The duration of each break (in seconds).

Higher numbers mean that bots will tend to select quests that are on the way to their selected exfil even if they're undesirable. This factor is different for every map. 
* **questing.bot_quests.exfil_direction_max_angle**: If the angle between the vector from a bot to its selected exfil and the vector from the bot to a quest objective is below this value (in degrees), the angle will be ignored (treated as 0 deg) for that objective when selecting new quests for bots. This is to allow bots to meander toward their selected exfil instead of having them tend to follow a straight path toward it. This is **90** deg by default. 
* **questing.bot_quests.exfil_reached_min_fraction**: This value is multiplied by the maximum distance between all exfils on the map to determine the distance threshold below which bots will change their selected exfils. If a bot travels within that threshold of its selected exfil, it will choose a new exfil. This is to allow bots to travel around the map instead of gravitating toward their initially selected exfils even after they reach them. This is **0.2** by default. 
* **questing.bot_quests.blacklisted_boss_hunter_bosses**: An array containing the names of bosses that bots doing the "Boss Hunter" quest will not be allowed to hunt.
* **questing.bot_quests.airdrop_bot_interest_time**: The time (in seconds) after an airdop lands during which bots can go to it via an "Airdrop Chaser" quest. This is **420** s by default. 
* **questing.bot_quests.elimination_quest_search_time**: The time (in seconds) a bot will wait before selecting another quest after reaching each objective in an elimination EFT quest. This is **60** s by default. 
* **questing.bot_quests.lightkeeper_island_quests.enabled**: If bots are able to perform quests on Lightkeeper Island. This is **true** by default.
* **questing.bot_quests.labyrinth_quests.max_collider_magnitude_to_block_navmesh**: Limits the maximum size of colliders attached to traps on Labyrinth that Questing Bots uses to prevent bots from passing through them until the trap has been disabled. This is **10** m by default. **Do not change this unless you know what you're doing!** 
* **questing.bot_quests.labyrinth_quests.pmc_bots_trigger_alarms**: Allows PMC and PScav bots to trigger the alarm on Labyrinth. This is **true** by default.
* **questing.bot_quests.labyrinth_quests.block_navmesh_for_starting_chamber_traps**: Prevents all bots from travelling through traps on Labyrinth until they have been disabled. This makes the Labyrinth experience more realistic (more like live EFT), but if bots fail their initial quests to escape the traps, they could be stuck in their starting chambers for the whole raid. This is **true** by default.
* **questing.bot_quests.labyrinth_quests.block_navmesh_for_intoxication_traps**: Prevents all bots from moving through poison-tipped barbed wire on Labyrinth. This is **true** by default.
* **questing.bot_quests.eft_quests.xxx**: The settings to apply to all quests based on EFT's quests. 
* **questing.bot_quests.spawn_rush.xxx**: The settings to apply to the "Spawn Rush" quest. 
* **questing.bot_quests.spawn_point_wander.xxx**: The settings to apply to the "Spawn Point Wandering" quest.
* **questing.bot_quests.boss_hunter.xxx**: The settings to apply to the "Boss Hunter" quest. 
* **questing.bot_quests.airdrop_chaser.xxx**: The settings to apply to the "Airdrop Chaser" quest.

**Options for Each Section in *bot_quests*:**
* **desirability**: The desirability rating (in percent) of the quest. Bots will be more likely to select quests with higher desirability ratings. 
* **pmcsOnly**: Only PMC's will be allowed to select the quest
* **max_bots_per_quest**: The maximum number of bots that can actively be performing each quest of that type.
* **min_distance**: Each objective in the quest will only be selected if the bot is at least this many meters away from it.
* **max_distance**: Each objective in the quest will only be selected if the bot is at most this many meters away from it.
* **max_raid_ET**: The quest can only be selected if this many seconds (or less) have elapsed in the raid. This is based on the overall raid time, not the time after you spawn. For example, if you set **maxRaidET=60** for a quest and you spawn into a Factory raid with 15 minutes remaining, this quest will never be used because 300 seconds has already elapsed in the overall raid.
* **chance_of_having_keys**: The chance that bots will have keys for the locations specified in the quests.
* **match_looting_behavior_distance**: If there are any EFT quest objectives within this distance of non-EFT quest objectives, the EFT quest-objective looting behavior ("Force" or "Inhibit") will be changed to match the nearby non-EFT quest-objective looting behavior
* **min_level**: The absolute minimum player level allowed for bots to select the quest. 
* **max_level**: The absolute maximum player level allowed for bots to select the quest. 
* **level_range**: An array of [minimum player level for the quest, level range] pairs to determine the maximum player level for each quest of that type. This value is added to the minimum player level for the quest. For example, if a quest is only available at level 15, the level range for it will be 20 (as determined via interpolation of this array using its default values). As a result, only bots between levels 15 and 35 will be allowed select that quest.

**PMC and Player-Scav Spawning Options:**
* **bot_spawns.enabled**: Allow this mod to spawn PMC's and player Scavs (**true** by default). 
* **bot_spawns.blacklisted_pmc_bot_brains**: An array of the bot "brain" types that SPT will not be able to use when generating initial PMC's. These "brain" types have behaviors that inhibit their ability to quest, and this causes them to get stuck in areas for a long time (including their spawn locations). **Do not change this unless you know what you're doing!**
* **bot_spawns.player_scav_brain_conversion_chances_overrides.enabled**: Allows this mod to override the chances that player Scav brains will be replaced by another brain type. This is **false** by default. **Do not change this unless you know what you're doing!**
* **bot_spawns.player_scav_brain_conversion_chances_overrides.chances**: The chances that player Scav brain types will be changed to the ones in this dictionary. The brain types in this setting will be added to (or overwrite) the brain types in SPT's configuration, but brain types in SPT's configuration that are not in this setting will not be removed. 
* **bot_spawns.spawn_retry_time**: If any bots fail to spawn, no other attempts will be made to spawn more of them for this amount of time (in seconds). By default, this is **10** s.
* **bot_spawns.delay_game_start_until_bot_gen_finishes**: After the final loading screen shows "0:00.000" for a few seconds, the game will be further delayed from starting if not all bots have been generated. Without doing this, PMC's may not spawn immediately when the raid starts, and the remaining bots will take much longer to generate. This is **true** by default. 
* **bot_spawns.spawn_initial_bosses_first**: If initial bosses must spawn before PMC's are allowed to spawn. This does not apply to Factory (Day or Night). This is **false** by default.
* **bot_spawns.eft_new_spawn_system_adjustments.non_wave_retry_delay_after_blocked**: If Scavs are blocked by Questing Bots (per the F12 menu settings) from spawning via EFT's "new" spawning system, delay the next spawn check by this many seconds. This does not have an effect on Scav spawning behavior, but it will reduce server load by limiting how many extra bots it will generate between spawn checks. This is **180** s by default.
* **bot_spawns.eft_new_spawn_system_adjustments.scav_spawn_rate_time_window**: If Scavs are blocked by Questing Bots (per the F12 menu settings) from spawning via EFT's "new" spawning system, calculate the Scav spawn rate by tracking all Scav spawns within this time window (in seconds) from the current time in the raid. This is **300** s by default.
* **bot_spawns.bot_cap_adjustments.use_EFT_bot_caps**: SPT's bot caps will be changed to match EFT's bot caps. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.bot_cap_adjustments.only_decrease_bot_caps**: If **bot_spawns.bot_cap_adjustments.use_EFT_bot_caps=true**, SPT's bot caps will be changed to match EFT's bot caps only if EFT's bot caps are lower. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.bot_cap_adjustments.map_specific_adjustments**: If **bot_spawns.bot_cap_adjustments.use_EFT_bot_caps=true**, these additional adjustments will be made to SPT's bot caps after changing them to EFT's. This is used to balance bot spawns and performance. 
* **bot_spawns.limit_initial_boss_spawns.enabled**: If initial boss spawns should be limited (**true** by default).
* **bot_spawns.limit_initial_boss_spawns.disable_rogue_delay**: If the 180-second delay SPT adds to Rogue spawns on Lighthouse should be removed. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.limit_initial_boss_spawns.max_initial_bosses**: The maximum number of bosses that are allowed to spawn at the beginning of the raid (including Raiders and Rogues). After this number is reached, all remaining initial boss spawns will be canceled. If this number is too high, few Scavs will be able to spawn after the initial PMC spawns. This is **14** by default. 
* **bot_spawns.limit_initial_boss_spawns.max_initial_rogues**: The maximum number of Rogues that are allowed to spawn at the beginning of the raid. After this number is reached, all remaining initial Rogue spawns will be canceled. If this number is too high, few Scavs will be able to spawn after the initial PMC spawns. This is **10** by default. 
* **bot_spawns.max_alive_bots**: The maximum number of PMC's and player Scavs (combined) that can be alive at the same time on each map. This only applies to PMC's and player Scavs generated by this mod; it doesn't apply to bots spawned by other mods or for Scavs converted to PMC's or player Scavs automatically by SPT. 
* **bot_spawns.pmc_hostility_adjustments.enabled**: If this mod should override EFT's hostility chances for PMC bots. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.pmc_hostility_adjustments.pmcs_always_hostile_against_pmcs**: Makes PMC's always hostile against other PMC's. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.pmc_hostility_adjustments.pmcs_always_hostile_against_scavs**: Makes PMC's always hostile against Scavs and vice versa. This is **true** by default.
* **bot_spawns.pmc_hostility_adjustments.global_scav_enemy_chance**: Sets the global chance that PMC's will be hostile toward Scavs. However, EFT does not use this setting in many maps. This is **100** by default.
* **bot_spawns.pmc_hostility_adjustments.pmc_enemy_roles**: Makes PMC's always hostile toward bots with these roles. 
* **bot_spawns.pmcs.xxx**: The settings to apply to PMC spawns (see below for details).
* **bot_spawns.player_scavs.xxx**: The settings to apply to player Scav spawns (see below for details).
* **adjust_pscav_chance.enabled**: If the chances that Scavs are converted to player Scavs should be adjusted throughout the raid. This is only used if **bot_spawns.enabled=false** or **bot_spawns.player_scavs.enabled=false**, and it is **true** by default.
* **adjust_pscav_chance.chance_vs_time_remaining_fraction**: An array describing how likely Scavs are to be converted to player Scavs as a function of the fraction of time remaining in the raid. This is based on the overall raid time, not the time after you spawn. The array contains [fraction of raid time remaining, conversion chance] pairs, and there is no limit to the number of pairs.

**Options for *bot_spawns.pmcs* and *bot_spawns.player_scavs*:**
* **enabled**: If the corresponding bot type will be allowed to spawn. This is **true** by default for both bot types.
* **disabled_maps**: An array of the names of maps in which the bot type will not be allowed to spawn. If this option is excluded, the bot type will be allowed to spawn in all maps. 
* **min_raid_time_remaining**: The minimum time (in seconds) that must be remaining in the raid for bots of the corresponding bot type to spawn. This is **180** s by default for both PMC's and PScavs.
* **min_distance_from_players_initial**: The minimum distance (in meters) that a bot must be from you and other bots when selecting its spawn point. This is used during the first wave of spawns and is **25** m by default. 
* **min_distance_from_players_initial_labyrinth**: The minimum distance (in meters) that a bot must be from you and other bots when selecting its spawn point. However, this is only used for Labyrinth instead of **min_distance_from_players_initial**. This is used during the first wave of spawns and is **20** m by default. 
* **min_distance_from_players_during_raid**: The minimum distance (in meters) that a bot must be from you and other bots when selecting its spawn point. This is used after the first wave of spawns.
* **min_distance_from_players_during_raid_factory**: The minimum distance (in meters) that a bot must be from you and other bots when selecting its spawn point. This is used after the first wave of spawns. However, this is only used for Factory raids instead of **min_distance_from_players_during_raid**.
* **min_distance_from_players_during_raid_labyrinth**: The minimum distance (in meters) that a bot must be from you and other bots when selecting its spawn point. This is used after the first wave of spawns. However, this is only used for Labyrinth raids instead of **min_distance_from_players_during_raid**.
* **fraction_of_max_players**: When determining how many total bots of this type will spawn throughout the raid, the maximum player count for the map is multiplied by this value. This is **1** by default for PMC's and **1.5** by default for player Scavs.
* **fraction_of_max_players_vs_raidET**: If you spawn late into the raid as a Scav, the minimum and maximum initial PMC's will be reduced by a factor determined by this array. The array contains [fraction of raid time remaining, fraction of max players] pairs, and there is no limit to the number of pairs.
* **time_randomness**: The maximum percentage of total raid time (before reducing it for Scav raids) that player-Scav spawns can be randomly adjusted when generating a spawn schedule for them. However, player Scavs will never be allowed to spawn earlier than the minimum reduced raid time in the SPT configuration for the map, and they will never be allowed to spawn later than the maximum reduced raid time for the map. This is **10%** by default. 
* **bots_per_group_distribution**: An array describing the chances that bot groups of various sizes are allowed to spawn. The left column is the bot group size, and the right column is the chance that a group of that size will spawn. 
* **bot_difficulty_as_online**: An array describing the chances that members of a new bot group will be of a certain difficulty. The left column is the difficulty value (0 = easy, 1 = normal, 2 = hard, 3 = impossible), and the right column is the chance that bots with that difficulty will spawn.

**---------- Known Issues ----------**

**Vanilla EFT Issues in SPT 3.11 and later:**
* Bots sometimes "teleport" through doors

**General:**
* A flicker occurs whenever EFT spawns bots, even when the Questing Bots spawning system is disabled

**Objective System:**
* Mods that add a lot of new quests may cause latency issues that may result in game stability problems and stuttering
* Bots tend to get trapped in certain areas. Known areas:
    * Customs in some Dorms rooms (i.e. 214 and 220 in 3 story)
    * Lighthouse in the mountains near the Resort spawn
    * Lighthouse on the rocks near the helicopter crash
    * Streets in the IT Firm Office
    * Streets in the Brodian Pub bathroom
* Bots take the most direct path to their objectives, which may involve running in the middle of an open area without any cover.
* Certain bot "brains" are blacklisted because they cause the bot to always be in a combat state and therefore never quest (i.e. exUSEC's when they're near a stationary weapon)
* Bots sometimes unlock doors for no reason if they can't properly resolve their quest locations.
* A *"Destroying GameObjects immediately is not permitted during physics trigger/contact, animation event callbacks or OnValidate. You must use Destroy instead."* error will sometimes appear in the game console after a bot unlocks a door. This can be ignored. 
* Player-level ranges for some quests are not reasonable, so bots may do late-game quests at low player levels and vice versa. This is because EFT has no minimum level defined for several quest lines.
* Extraction via Questing Bots is only partially implemented
* Looting via Questing Bots only allows bots to travel toward loot POI's (via vanilla EFT logic), so they rarely loot while questing. Using [Looting Bots](https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/812/looting-bots) will result in more realistic behavior. 
* Player Scavs will only extract when using SPT 4.0.14 or later (currently unreleased) or when using SAIN without vanilla Scavs turned on
