I Am... Groot

"Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy by Marvel has joined Wilson. He can only say 'I Am Groot'. He starts off very weak but will gradually be one of strongest. He only eats wood-type but he is able to craft his own food. Being a gentle creature, birds and rabbits don't run away. He finds extra wood-stuff when chopping tree, and he sheds random wood-stuff every morning in the summer. Rain slowly heals his wounds. He comes with a normal axe, a living log, a flint and his favorite food: the 'wood deluxe'."

Stats Level: 0->100 (leveling gets progressively harder) Health: 50 (up to 250 at max) Hunger: 100 (up to 150 at max) Sanity: 100 (up to 200 at max) Speed: normal (fast at max) Cold resist: tiny (medium at max) Dapperness: tiny at lv50, small at max HP regen: 1 per 10 sec at lv10, 3 per 10 sec at max Dmg multiplier: 1.0 (up to 1.5 at max) *Many of these are configurable

Strengths Effective at chopping trees (or not, configurable) Chopping a tree generates an extra twig (configurable) Birds don't run away (configurable) Rabbits don't run away Rain heals slowly (1 hp per 10 sec) Sheds random wood-type every morning in summer Butterfly (configurable) gives tiny (configurable) sanity Have starting equipment (axe, flint, living log, wood deluxe)

Weaknesses Can only say "I Am Groot" (configurable) Hunger drains 2x as fast Can only eat wood-type [spoiler]---Twigs, log, boards, petals, dark petals, pinecone, cut grass, ---fern/foliage, cut lichen, living log[/spoiler] Lose a little exp when chopping or digging (configurable)

Note on food/eating Eating log, boards and pinecone will cause sanity loss Can craft and consume his own and favorite "wood deluxe" [spoiler]---Under "food" type. Twigs(6),Log(3),Boards(1). Requires science machine ---Not stackable. +16hp, +68hunger and +0sanity. Does not decay/rot.[/spoiler]

Root/Unroot Ability Hotkey is Z (configurable) When rooted, Groot is unable to move but heals nearby players' health and sanity However this may change attacking enemies target to Groot Unfortunately, he is unable to eat or attack but gains 70% damage absorption Careful, Groot will drain hunger 6 times as fast Press hotkey again to unroot (back to normal)

How to level Kill creatures ---Killing non-combat creatures won't give you any exp Eat food ---Very little exp. Groot gains more exp by slaying hostiles

Level Badge Thanks to Kzisor/Ysovuka, Groot now has better and proper levelling system component Groot also has pretty little level badge to tell you % to level up and current level

[spoiler]Change log v1.17-19 - internal fixes v1.16 - adjusted exp gained when killing big enemies (to avoid enormous level gains) v1.15 - with AFK Detection mod: root/unroot now cancels AFK, adjusted stats at max lvl: was too big and fast, keyhandler component update from Kzisor v1.14 - changed some speech text (english mode), chop/dig loses exp (configurable), fixed over-100% exp, limit exp gain per kill to 200 (configurable) v1.13 - chop bonus applies to deciduous trees, add wooddeluxe difficulty settings, can no longer shed when not alive, add root power settings v1.12 - added level badge, revamped levelling system, added root/unroot ability (keyhandler) v1.11 - fixed crash @ summer; changed english text v1.10 - updated to work with DST:RoG (haven't tested thoroughly though...) v1.09 - add "dmg mult per level up" and "speech" in config v1.08 - fixed possible client crash v1.07 - bugfix, added more configs v1.06 - fixed black screen from recent update (isrecipevalid) v1.05 - new perk: butterfly (configurable) gives tiny (configurable) sanity v1.04 - fixed bug where resuming game starts with lv0-stats even though level is 1+ v1.03 - fixed bug where healing stays even after rain stopped v1.02 - added config (see perks above) v1.01 - debuffed (much less exp from eating food) and more debuff, see perks above v1.00 - initial release
