Description:
Reduces NPC respawn cooldown timers and adjusts spawned NPC counts for non-quest combat and world population spawners. Vanilla respawn interval is 120 minutes. Quest-critical AI (AI_POI_ForQuest and NPC recruits) is excluded so story progression is not affected.
Each variant combines a timer and a count option. Timer controls how quickly NPCs respawn. Count option controls how many spawn at a time: 2xNPCs doubles both min and max counts, Min1Max2x keeps vanilla minimum and doubles maximum, Min1Max1. 5x keeps vanilla minimum and sets maximum to 1. 5× the vanilla minimum (tighter spawn groups), VanillaCounts leaves counts unchanged.
