# Group Formations

Tired of all your AI just roaming around alone? **Universal Monster** allows you to put your AI into **Group Formations** of many types. You can create large scale military formations or simply have a few AI follow the player as needed. The formations options are extremely customizable and if the formation you wish to create does not exist, just make a suggestion on the **UM Discord** and if it can be created using math, then it will be added. Since **UM** utilizes math algorithms to create these formations, they are very efficient and can be created during runtime without any performance issues.
