+## Singple Player Mode
+
+This mod is mainly intended for use on servers with multiple players.
+
+It is also suitable for single player sessions too - if you want a new location to start a creative build, but don't want to go through creating another, separate world for it, just grab yourself a new spawnpoint!
+
+You may want to tune the mod to suit your computer's capabilities ; to this end, the following may be helpful:
+
+* Add `rspawn` to your world
+    * Go to the *Advanced Settings* area of Minetest, look for `mods > rspawn`
+    * Change the frequency of pregeneration as required
+        * Good CPUs, enough RAM and SSD hard drives might get away with a frequency of 20sec (!)
+        * If you find your game immediately lagging due to excessive map generation, switch the frequency to say 120
+    * Change the Cooldown time - default is `300` seconds (5 minutes) between uses of `/newspawn`
+    * Optionally, change the maximum pregen to the desired number of spawnpoints to pregenerate and hold
+* Start the game session; Wait around 1 minute or so as the initial spawn point gets generated and is assigned to you
+* Jump around! (with `/newspawn`)
+    * Until you exhaust your pregens :-P
