Enhanced Husks

ENHANCED HUSKS

The Improved Husks mod aims to improve and expand the influence of the mysterious "husk parasite" in the world of Barotrauma in many ways.

Like more creatures, texture changes, more stuff, and changes to existing mechanics

Enhanced husks aims to take what Improved Husks did, and turn it into a semi-mod pack with a crap tonne of custom enemies, reworked mechanics, new mechanics, balance changes for vanilla and Improved Husks mechanics, and just a lot of "oh hey so the devs just added all these new creatures so I'm going to turn them all into husks", all built on what was done before it (personally I think Improved Husks deserves all the glaze.)

For the mods that have been used, you can find the names of the creators included in their code. As for why I opted for this method is because my memory is crap and I don't trust myself.

I'm planning on completely changing the carried over textures from these mods anyway sometime in the future, but as of rn they will remain as is.

Improved Husks and Enhanced Husks are Hotswappable mods, so for instance if you would prefer to switch from Improved to Enhanced, you can just do that with no issue, want to switch back? Just take out Enhanced from your mod load list and pop Improved back in, sure you're going to lose a few items that are special to this version.

TLDR: DOWNLOAD IMPROVED HUSKS , DO NOT PUT BOTH IN YOUR ENABLED PACKAGES, IT'S EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER.

Core Features

I'm still working on this mod, even if the update progress have significantly slowed down over time, this mod still has most of the core features thoroughly intact.

-Almost every single biological creature in the game can now be turned into a husk. This means that you can run into various husked monsters while playing, as well as witness the transformation of any of them if infected. (I have gone in and changed almost off of the textures, they all have at least 1 or two changes or have been completely redone.)

-Some husked monsters can further transform into mutants, new custom deadly monsters that can be encountered while playing, as well as manually created, voluntarily and involuntarily.

-New items are now accessible through crafting in the fabricator, allowing you to enter symbiosis with the husk infection, temporarily gain impossible levels of regeneration and even boost the growth of various creatures for your own benefit.

Keep in mind however this also includes extreme changes to existing items, including husk symbiotic, which changes that from a free copy of symbiosis gained through the questline to a buff that buffs/gives you regeneration if you are using husk genes or have symbiosis.

Compatibility

This mod overrides the following vanilla content:

- Huskinfection, disguisedashusk, and husktransformimmunity originally found in "Content\Afflictions.xml"

- Husk Stinger Weapon originally found in "Content\Items\CreatureLoot\creatureloot.xml"

- Calyxanide (Husk Infection Antidote) originally originally found in "Content\Items\Medical\medical.xml"

- Human Husk character originally found in "Content\Characters\Humanhusk\Humanhusk.xml"

- Husk character originally found in "Content\Characters\Husk\Husk.xml"

- Crawler Husk character originally found in "Content\Characters\Crawlerhusk\Crawlerhusk.xml"

- Most of the Cultist clothes found in "Content\Items\Jobgear\Cultist\cultist_gear.xml"

- The entire Church of the Husk questline + some related quests.

The more things a mod overrides, the harder it is for it to be compatible with other mods in general. So uh, watch out!

Prepare to get [B]swarmed[/B] as this mod has plenty more monstrosities and variants to tear you limb from limb. Changes have been made to the Symbiotic to be more compatible with the new updates, don't worry, you just need symbiosis or husk genes to get those buffs. [/code]
