Dynamic Creature Expansion

Do Europa's ecosystems feel lackluster, or do the missions seem too easy? Well, this is the mod for you. The mod focuses on expanding the ecosystems of Europa by introducing various subspecies or distant relatives of already existing vanilla species, opposite sexes, and, on special occasions, newly introduced species. The mod will also introduce new missions provided by special NPC's that are unlocked when you reach 50 reputation for your main faction. These missions have a large increase in difficulty but hold greater rewards while keeping it more vanilla-friendly. Lastly, new afflictions are introduced into the game; most of them will be applied by our new creatures introduced into the mod.

NPCs

Two new NPCs are introduced for the Europa Coalition and the Separatists. These unique characters are the only way to access the new missions, and you must have 50 reputation or more with their faction before they will deal with you. Choose your allegiance wisely.

Creatures and Missions

Most missions are solely introduced within The Aphotic Plateau and The Hydrothermal Wastes. Although each creature will still be encounterable naturally without the need of missions.

Compatibility

LuaCs is mandatory. This mod cannot function without it.

Compatible with most mods, including Dynamic Europa, and Neurotraumatic.

Untested with Barotraumatic. Most likely not compatible with T.S.M Missions.

Recommended to use Performance Fix with lower end devices

Known Incompatibilities

Any mod that overrides or replaces vanilla medical items will conflict with this mod, as new afflictions are treated through the existing medical items. Load order will decide which mod's changes apply.

Any mod that overrides or replaces vanilla creatures will also cause issues, as some missions reference vanilla creatures directly.
