Distributed spawners are entity table spawners that have a high degree of configurability when mapping. They should support:

  • Spreading the spawning amount across multiple spawners in a map using an ID field. Should be able to choose from:
    • Even distribution (e.g. 30 steel split evenly among 3 spawners)
    • Randomly distribution (e.g. 30 steel split randomly among 3 spawners)
    • Pick-one-spawner distribution (e.g. 30 steel, only occuring in 1 of 3 spawners)
  • Some sort of dynamic visualizer for what spawns in the mapping spawner sprite.

This exists on a few downstreams, so there is potential to save time and upstream that functionality.
