Dude no lie I love you content, After the BSG F up with unheard I switched to SPT and Its the most fun I had on tarkov in my 2000 Hours of play time and your content makes it all better after I started modding, Please keep it up
Dito, 6k hours EoD owner, never had so much fun with the game before. Iam addicted again, lol. Playing SPT just showed me how much better this game can be...
SPT is the thing that keeps tarkov alive for me I sacrifice online for the ease of mind and I get all the beautiful tarkov content best thing to happen to tarkov since open beta lol
@RancorousSea You shouldnt take THAT big of a hit to performance. you will see some dips when spawns happen but its just that, a dip and then its back up. I finally upgraded to the 7800x3d and Tarkov runs like a dream with 25+ mods
@RancorousSea I have SAIN, Looting Bots, Questing Bots, Drakia Big brain and Waypoints, 5600 like you and 3060ti, I'm getting stutters with AI too. Trying to fix AI, Glukhar was always spawning in Reserve in the same building, so I tried SWAG+Donuts, but something is def. lowering my FPS. I feel like there's a shit ton of AI spawning and they are not optimized well. Gonna try BSP now instead of SWAG. Update: BSP instead of SWAG did it. Game is FLAWLESS right now with my friend connected on the server. Smooth as butter. But now I have issues like no rogues in Lighthouse.
Is it just me, or is this like listening to a radio show ? :) Another nice video SV, just got into SPT last couple of days, your content has been invaluable. Thank you
I never thought to try and find a sweet spot, I just changed a few things and that was it. Your approach is so much more logical... I'm off to do this exact thing. Fantastic vid, inspired, and thank you.
For the people who have the SAIN 2.2.1, the GUI still has all of the things mentioned its just more condensed. For example the Global Settings is on the Home Page now and still has the same options. All that's changed is the layout and it is minor.
Not true, headshot protection is no longer a setting in the current version. Can't find it anywhere in the SAIN settings menu, even when searching for it in the search bar. I'm constantly getting head eyes'd because I can't find this setting to enable it.
good thing it has individual settings for different bots. Before i had to tweak those by manually editing the server files. Although it is sad that SAIN makes scavs so quiet. I want them to talk like they always do, but at the same time i also would like more quiet and tactical PMCs. With SAIN it's one or another. But hearing scavs talking is important for immersion - otherwise they don't feel like themselves at all. So i guess i will turn back on all the talking.
Love you're videos, always very informative. I, like many people started playing SPT because of the recent drama and damn I wish I'd done is sooner. Being an anxious little bitch in tarkov, changing the game's bots to match my (sloth like) reaction speed has increased my enjoyment by at least 10x. I can finally play the game instead of hiding in a bush for 20 minutes! Again, thanks.
Great video! Do you make any changes to donuts as well? The last thing i feel like I’m missing is a proper tuning for number of bots per map. Sometimes i see next to no one all raid and other times im swarmed by 10 bots at once.
Yeah I have the same issue. Everything else is setup really to my liking now. I’ve tried to edit the donuts txt config files and lower the total bots and also the spawn distance to me and other bots. But somehow I can’t get it to work properly. Looking forward to that video.
Is there a way i can make enemy AI use more environmental strategies like flanking or suppressive fire while an enemy AI team mate flanks? My main focus is just being smarter and less with gun accuracy.
Do you notice a gear difference between difficulties? On standard SPT im getting Scavs and PMC's with BS and M855A1 ammo and was wondering if reducing the difficulty changes what they carry
I have seen the Bots do a fake death animation, then get up and run away to either leave or reposition to keep fighting on just the default settings. Sometimes I find their body somewhere close by sometimes they kill me doing that. They set up ambushes too. I've also seen them get stuck on shopping carts.
I think the perfect setup is to have the AI perfectly balanced between being aggressive enough to shoot decently fast at you, but still give them a slight handicap with their aim, scatter and recoil factor adapted so they don't laserbeam headshot you right away or any other part of the body. Among the other tweaks in SAIN. This necessarily doesn't mean they will always shoot around you/miss. Sometimes they land some really lethal blows - I know for a fact lol. But the landing of shots around you still provides a sense of danger, even when you are not hit. And it gives you a fair chance to react and seek cover or kill the aggressor, before they hit you. If you don't, it is a high risc they will land the next shots on you. Which they have a high chance of doing, depending on if you know where they are or not. So in conclusion, you are given the chance to take cover or kill your opponent, without being molested to pieces everytime, depending on your own actions in the present situation. It provides a nice randomness between evading injury and actually getting messed up for real sometimes or killed. Which is the perfect blend imo.
Thanks! Ugh, I know right? The mod got updated like the day I released this video or something and it was already behind, lol. These SPT devs can work really quickly.
Should be a mod called bandits or breaching bandits, let’s you get through any door with weapons with a few presets dictating the weapons/gear you can breach doors with.
Thanks for the video. If I have installed and set Sain, do I have to set the difficulty for the scavs in the pre game settings, too? Or does sain overwrite these?
I’ve been messing with SAIN and SwagxDonuts for a while now and I noticed recently that they both have difficulty controls, does one override the other?
Question... if I modify the settings thru the GUI does this translate to the whole server? Does it have to be the host or is it done in the configuration files somewhere? Edit: Figured it out, whoever is the one hosting the raid has their bot settings take priority
Thanks. I was allways afraid to mess with that. I was playing on defualt but it was to easy. When I increase diff they killed me to easy. Now I can set up my own game just the way I like. I have one question tho, does selecting hard PMCs and SCAVs in DONUTS do something then? Which difficulty matters? SAIN or DONUT?
The Donuts difficulty selector is the same as EFT's, like you choose before a raid. SAIN presets have behaviors for each of the difficulty levels. You can customize how each preset behaves per level.
Just subbed, great video! Do you know of any mods besides realism that allows me to customise ai loadouts? I already use SVM and SAIN to make my gameplay vastly more enjoyable but am dissapointed when I load into labs for PVP only to kill AI with shitty kedrs and tier 3 armor, or fully kitted AK-74s with HP ammo, I know on the older versions of SPT AKI the SVM used to be able to customise in full loadouts with quality of weapons armor and ammo as well as how much of an item they can carry. Thanks mate and sorry for the long message!
I think just about any mod that affects progression adds loadout rolls for bots, Andern would be another I think. In general, I notice a lot of diversity for my bot loadouts. Maybe you’re having some mod conflict?
@@thestarvox Tysm for the reply! I''ve just tried out Andern and already love it! Bots have weapons either from their presets or mine, with good rigs armour and bags! Have a good one mate 🍻
22:36 Did anyone notice how StarVox by accident "reset" Global difficulty setting from 3 to 1 and didn't even notice? While i copied everything from here i went with 2 for that value...
11:07 For the dive donut preset, I never see the icon pop up in the bottom right like yours does. Do I need to enable something by chance? When I press f12 I see the DD advance setting there and everything just want to make sure it’s running correctly
Wassup brother got a question for you, its the first time i got to update my SPT. did i have to throw everything to trash (SPT FOLDER)and restart or just the spt 3.7.6 client folder?
I can't remember the specifics on that, I think that Realism Mod also influences the likelihood that bots will have night vision. It should definitely say something in the mod description for any mod that deals in bot NVGs, though.
Love it. I've always had SAIN installed, but never went into the menu, cause it looked intimidating. Your video helped me with that! Thanks mate! See you in Factory! >:)
Just wondering have you ever thought of running the spt server on another pc, I heard its easy to set up and offers performance benefits aswell, but havent tried it for myself.
@@thestarvox I believe the AI would be handled or at least mostly handled by the PC running server. Which of course reduces the CPU load of the client. Not sure as I haven't tried it, but maybe no more spikes when bots load in?? Worth a shot I might tinker with it this weekend and report back.
Server value modifier mod, I forgot what tab it was under but you have to open the exe. For it hopefully that helps that’s the best way I could explain it.
@@thestarvoxI heard that if you pick as online, it throws random difficulties in. I’ve tried to set all mine to easy baby bots with zero aim but select as online in the pre-raid settings yet I keep running into the odd one that destroys me in one second so it makes me believe the pre-raid “as online” setting is spawning in hard bots. Otherwise it makes no sense. Going to try there pre-raid settings as “easy” to see if I notice a lack of insta death.
Sounds right to me, Tarkov is chaotic in nature that way, especially when bots move and loot on their own. It could be your mods, but it could also be circumstances when you find them.
Very few, less than ten for each map cap and then some depending on my needs. Since the Boss and Rogue spawns tend to be broken, they'll often appear despite my caps. In the end, I still get lots of activity per wave somehow, especially with the recent SAIN update.
having strong modern CPU is the only remedy in this case afaik, since your computer controls all the AI in your server. other than that it pretty much comes down to trial and error until you find sweet spot for bot count and performance.
Hey bro ! Iam new to SPT, like most people recently i guess :D (Iam never going back, fck Nikita and BSG, iam having a blast with SPT rn) Iam using SAIN, donut, looting/questing bots. I have several questions if u dont mind: 1: The AI seem to hit my stomach ALOT and its quite annoying at the start, is there a way to adjust that ? 2. Can i set the max number of bots somewhere ? I got several raids now where its just a clusterfck with like 20 pmc, a boss, scavs, raiders xD 3. I noticed its not raining at all for me ? Can i fix that somehow ? I really enjoy night raids with rain :C
Hey i can answer these questions for you. 1. You can increase the aiming scatter in SAIN menu (F6) so shots will spread out more. 2. You need to enable bots hard cap in donuts settings from the F12 menu and edit the config file in the donut folder. You will see a section listing all bot caps for each map, just change the number to whatever you like (both scavs and pmc). 3. This is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed soon (if i recall correctly this is actually a vanilla bug from the specific version SPT is currently using)
I had the same problem with amount of ai. There were just too many. I played version before this and never had this many bots, at most i had like 4 or so lets say near lumberjack, now its like a war out there with 12 bots. Some die but another get replaced i was wondering was live always like this ? Or version before didn't spawn so much bots.
I heard that an group of modders is making an spt overhaul called Welcome to Tarkov and is full of new things and the mod traveler is present ...so maybe is not lost 😁
Its because he is using an older version on here. Make sure your version is 2.2.1 for the most recent update. The GUI will be different as the homepage tab will have General Settings. You should see it as soon as you enable the [Open Editor] option. Not everything is the same location but all the stuff he changes should still be in the General Global Settings on the Home tab.
Can you explain how Donuts and SAIN work together for Bot difficulty? SAIN has bot difficulty settings in the F6 menu and Donuts has bot difficulty settings as well in the F12 menu. Do they work together or does one overwrite the other?
Base game difficulty is chosen at the start of a raid. It can also be set in the Donuts menu, that's the difficulty selection. SAIN adds behavior modifiers to the difficulty level chosen. The SAIN presets include settings for each level and can be changed individually.
I don't know if it's been removed or what but I'm struggling immensely with headshots after installing the current version of SAIN for 3.9.0. I've noticed in your version there's the headshot protection setting that you can turn on but in the new version the menu is different and I can't find this setting anywhere. Anyone know where to find this in the current version of SAIN?
You can use the KMC SVM, Dad Gamer Mode, or even the SPT Realism Mod, I think. For the latter two, you'll find those settings in their BepInEx entries labeled "Magazine Load Speed" or something.
I wish there was a setting that would change their "awareness". I'll be on woods, see a bot facing away from me about 150 meters and they will whip around instantly and start firing.
Try the „Thats lit“ mod it’s compatible with sain and makes them more player like because they will only see you if they actually have clues. It even makes the clothes you wear matter. I had the same problem like you and now it’s a lot better ❤

Very few, less than ten for each map cap and then some depending on my needs.
Since the Boss and Rogue spawns tend to be broken, they'll often appear despite my caps.
In the end, I still get lots of activity per wave somehow, especially with the recent SAIN update.
@@thestarvoxcan you adjust the mod settings for sain out of raid? Or do you have to be in raid first?
Yeah, you can access the SAIN menu anywhere in the game.
@@thestarvox thank you! I have been having issues with downloading mods and them working, so it’s good to know what’s supposed to happen lol. Thanks!
I can't open the menu with f6 and I don't know why
How do I make the Goons hostile towards everyone? including AI scavs? I have not been able to figure that out.
What shows the stars and hud changes on reload
How can you get the best fps while also having a resonable amount of bots?
having strong modern CPU is the only remedy in this case afaik, since your computer controls all the AI in your server. other than that it pretty much comes down to trial and error until you find sweet spot for bot count and performance.
Make sure to limit AI range in questing bots
Hello PMC Tarkov, how do you manage to make your weapon tilted to the left while still having it on your right arm without shoulder swapping ?
It's an option in the "Realism" mod for SPT. Among other things, the mod gives you several different additional stances for holding your gun.
@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish Thank you so much
@@rashash9954 Glad to help!
hopefully we can get a new video since SAIN has changed a ton
It's coming.
Hey. I know im dumb but where i can open all those settings? Any short cut or sth like this?
Will you ever do a SWAG+DONUTS guide?
Hey bro ! Iam new to SPT, like most people recently i guess :D (Iam never going back, fck Nikita and BSG, iam having a blast with SPT rn) Iam using SAIN, donut, looting/questing bots. I have several questions if u dont mind: 1: The AI seem to hit my stomach ALOT and its quite annoying at the start, is there a way to adjust that ? 2. Can i set the max number of bots somewhere ? I got several raids now where its just a clusterfck with like 20 pmc, a boss, scavs, raiders xD 3. I noticed its not raining at all for me ? Can i fix that somehow ? I really enjoy night raids with rain :C
Hey i can answer these questions for you.
1. You can increase the aiming scatter in SAIN menu (F6) so shots will spread out more.
2. You need to enable bots hard cap in donuts settings from the F12 menu and edit the config file in the donut folder. You will see a section listing all bot caps for each map, just change the number to whatever you like (both scavs and pmc).
3. This is a known bug and will hopefully be fixed soon (if i recall correctly this is actually a vanilla bug from the specific version SPT is currently using)
I had the same problem with amount of ai. There were just too many. I played version before this and never had this many bots, at most i had like 4 or so lets say near lumberjack, now its like a war out there with 12 bots. Some die but another get replaced i was wondering was live always like this ? Or version before didn't spawn so much bots.
Is there a way to make a video on how to actually get the bots to spawn becuase i have no clue on how to do that
The next SPT Show will cover the SWAG+Donuts mod, should be out on Monday.
@@thestarvox okay thank you
3.8.0 is great, but damn I'm gonna miss Traveler. And that one's probably not getting updated for the foreseeable future
You never know!
It was so popular, it may return somehow.
I heard that an group of modders is making an spt overhaul called Welcome to Tarkov and is full of new things and the mod traveler is present ...so maybe is not lost 😁
I tried installing it five times, always getting the older version, deleted the Sain.dll as required, not getting your gui :(
Its because he is using an older version on here. Make sure your version is 2.2.1 for the most recent update. The GUI will be different as the homepage tab will have General Settings. You should see it as soon as you enable the [Open Editor] option. Not everything is the same location but all the stuff he changes should still be in the General Global Settings on the Home tab.
@@MythicalWombat It's when I change the preset it says the game is older version and it could cause issues. I wonder if it's okey.
REALLY good vid!
hi there, could you make a vid explaining recommended settings if you combine SAIN and That's Lit?
I actually don't use That's Lit at the moment for the sake of performance, but might consider it.
Can you explain how Donuts and SAIN work together for Bot difficulty? SAIN has bot difficulty settings in the F6 menu and Donuts has bot difficulty settings as well in the F12 menu. Do they work together or does one overwrite the other?
SAIN is AI behaviour. Swag&Donuts controls spawns and spawning waves.
Completely different roles, can't override with each other.
@@rlrihards948 Still, they both have difficulty settings for bots, that’s why I’m asking.
Base game difficulty is chosen at the start of a raid.
It can also be set in the Donuts menu, that's the difficulty selection.
SAIN adds behavior modifiers to the difficulty level chosen.
The SAIN presets include settings for each level and can be changed individually.
What mod changes the quick throw grenade?
Quick Throw Grenades, lol.
@@thestarvox my stupid ass, thanks
Bro what are your Swag+donuts settings?
That's in the next video.
@@thestarvox Alright thanks man, great videos!
Do i need to select a preset and save every time i join a raid or is 1 time enough? Im confused heh
Of course it's one time save. Would be silly to do it otherwise.
I don't know if it's been removed or what but I'm struggling immensely with headshots after installing the current version of SAIN for 3.9.0. I've noticed in your version there's the headshot protection setting that you can turn on but in the new version the menu is different and I can't find this setting anywhere. Anyone know where to find this in the current version of SAIN?
Dude how do you increase your repacking mag speed ive been looking for a setting for so long but I cant find it!
You can use the KMC SVM, Dad Gamer Mode, or even the SPT Realism Mod, I think.
For the latter two, you'll find those settings in their BepInEx entries labeled "Magazine Load Speed" or something.
BSG should've released a server distribution with plugin functionality. They're too slow on everything, so players work around them to have fun.
My realism mod shakes my aim up not sure if it’s a conflict
I wish there was a setting that would change their "awareness". I'll be on woods, see a bot facing away from me about 150 meters and they will whip around instantly and start firing.
Try the „Thats lit“ mod it’s compatible with sain and makes them more player like because they will only see you if they actually have clues. It even makes the clothes you wear matter. I had the same problem like you and now it’s a lot better ❤
@@linegross2969 I will thanks
Anybody know how to limit waves and spawns?
