Navigate to the Slayer Shock install folder (e.g., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slayer Shock")

Create a folder within that called Mods (e.g., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slayer Shock\Mods")

Create a file within Mods with a .config extension (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Slayer Shock\Mods\spawnmanager.config")

Paste the contents of this into that config file: https://pastebin.com/aaqFJG4Z

Tune as desired!
