I have a lot of mods loaded, Calamity Mod, Fargo's mod, Spirit Mod, Thorium Mod, Quality of life, IMKSushi's mod, The Antiaris mod, Tremor mod remastered. I wanted the most bosses, most weapons and ultimate experience. The Antiaris mod, as it seems is a standalone mod, as outside of spawned items/enemies/crafting/loot some of the Antiaris unique aspects were not created alongside the world generation which I guess is fine, but I feel like something happened.
And for whatever reason, I do have theories, but I can't summon the goblin army properly, AT best one goblin enemy randomly appears (the Goblin Standard bearer) I believe and that's a modded goblin as well, and I might get 1% off but then the goblin army progress bar immediately disappears, very similarly to when you can catch invasion enemies but they are in long place, suggesting for some reason, I can't find their "center spawn" location. which has always been annoying by the way, but there doesn't seem to be a "spawn" point from where the goblin army can keep spawning and attack me (as far as I am aware), and the weirdest part is even when I consume the goblin army standard, it makes the boss summon noise but it doesn't even say "Goblins are invading from the east/west" it just occasionally seems to spawn a goblin enemy and then the progress disappears. On top of that I couldn't even summon a goblin army invasion even on my thorium map even though I've done it countless times.
Now I thought all I wanted was the Goblin Tinkerer so I disabled all mods except Thorium (since I played it and I know I've encountered the goblin army), and I managed to beat the goblin army (screwing up my modded chest items, such as ruin dungeon chests, the spirit mod ruin chest that held some items, and likely the glacier biome chests as well, though I've yet to receive an ice key from a "coldtrap" I believe.
But okay fine, that's why I created an alternate world, to loot from. The only issue is that apparently the spirit mod, requires me to get a loot item from the Goblin Army, the Mechromancer, in order to summon the next boss I want to fight.
Now I want to know and I think its possible, if I just create a spirit mod only map, and only have the spirit mod active, and get some powerful vanilla terraria armor, and weapons (post moon lord, or something like that), it really shouldn't interfere with my other maps, right? (only when you disabled mods and entered the world would it be a problem, right?
But if anyone has suggestions as to why I can't properly fight an invasion, and maybe a way to fix it, while not having to disable which mod might be responsible. Or is there a mod, that allows you to "spawn" items allowing you to use them, so maybe if this also extends to any other invasion/event, like Pirate or Martian, I could just use that item spawn mod to get the items I require especially items that might be rare for conflicting loot tables (if that's even a thing), I don't like cheating, but outside of a bunch of different mod worlds and ONLY enter those worlds with those mods, and make sure to not enter my all mod world with my mods disabled, that might be my only other alternative.
It would be very disappointing however that I won't be able to fight the enemies in those other invasions, and I'm really hoping that this issue is ONLY being applied to the Goblin Army, Since I can't use the boss checklist mod to check off those events, what would be even more problematic, though I don't think it will be an issue is moon lord content, since I don't think they qualify as an invasion, and events like the Blood moon are more than acceptable to occur.
Or as I've said maybe I just need to create maps of all the other mods, and only use that mod for loot purposes while making sure not to enter my heavily modded world until all the mods are enabled, this I think would be possible, but extremely time consuming (as enabling and disabling and reloading mods is time consuming).
EDIT: This problem has been resolved, the constant random goblin spawns appearing and the progress bar appearing and disappearing bothered me too much, so I took a fast end game wing character and looked around, and the goblin's spawned in the ocean biome, more specifically at the moment until I see otherwise, the right side ocean biome, OR maybe it's the jungle side ocean biome (if my jungle is on the right side of the map)< or maybe the aquatic depths side of the ocean. I don't know but some mod changed the spawn location of the goblin event so far of two instances on the complete right side ocean biome. Don't know what mod forced the goblins to spawn in the ocean, but this resolves any issue I had (shame I didn't figure this out sooner, before I ruined my modded chest content).
Leaving my problem still here in case people encounter similar problems, if you get event enemies, a weird progress bar, CHANCES are, you need to find the right spawn location in order to complete the event.
i know how to create my own custom biome spawn everywhere but how can i do that it will spawn ONLY under ocean biomes? it could be attached to it also
