Populates NPC Vessels and Stations with a Spider Infestation
This adds a spider infestation to random NPC ships. This is compatible with vanilla cargo ships, and all NPC mods (including MES).
"An infested ship is a dead ship. It just doesn't know it yet." - Unknown Engineer[/quote] [h1]Complete User Guide[/h1] [h1]Bugs, Suggestions, Questions, and Comments -> Discord[/h1] I don't troubleshoot, give technical advice, or have discussions in the comment section. That's what the Discord is for. Comments get lost to time, but discord histories can be searched and referenced. [h1]Features[/h1] [list] [*]Can infest any large grid ship, vehicle, or station owned by an NPC-only faction (Safe Zones will keep them out) [*]Uses AI Enabled to provide pathing and behaviors for NPCs on ships. [*]Supports single player, multiplayer, and local hosted multiplayer games. [/list] [h1]Infestations[/h1] [list] [*]Infested ships have small spiders on them running around causing havoc. [*]Spiders move around primarily through the conveyor system. [*]Connectors and air vents are their preferred egress points. [*]Spiders sometimes nest in cargo and freight. [*]Spiders inside the walls eating delicious electronics cause malfunctions. [*]Gunfire, welding, and grinding agitate the infestation, so make of that what you will. [*]Ambient audio may provide an indication of general quantity and agitation state. [/list] [quote] The only way to clean an infestation is to kill every spider on the grid in a single visit. A single spider, when left alone, can regenerate the entire hive if you leave and return later. But once they're all dead, the grid is clean. No, there is no way to know whether you have killed all the spiders on a grid... But maybe fixing some of the things they've changed could shed some light.
Quick Start
[olist] [*]Add the mod to your game [*]Explore NPC ships when they spawn (by default, there is a 20% of each spawned grid becoming infested) [/olist]
Configuration
The configuration file can be used to adjust your experience to suite your preferred play style. The file is located in different locations, depending on how your game was created. (The configuration follows a similar format as the Crew Enabled configuration.)
- The configuration cannot be changed while the mod is in use.
- A default configuration with several sample infestations will be written when you first run a game.
- If you ever need the config reset, just delete the file and a new one will be created the next time you play.
