Rust Creatures Reworked
Improved Pathfinding. Shivers & Bowtorns more dangerous. Spawn blocked by even low light. Adjustable
Description
Overview
This mod overhauls the behavior of Rust Creatures, making them more dangerous and configurable.
It refines how Drifters, Shivers, and Bowtorns move, attack, pursue targets, produce sounds, and spawn in relation to light levels.
It also serves as a foundation for the following mods:
Rust Creatures Can Destroy Obstacles
Ores Defended By Rust Creatures
Features
Rust Creatures now chase and pursue players more intelligently.
Shivers can crawl walls and ceilings, move faster, and scale in tier speed.
Flees only within 3 blocks. Shooting speed increases as player approaches.
New Shiver and Drifter sounds. Vanilla sounds can be enabled in the config if you prefer them.
Spawns depend on light level. Darkness increases threat.
Fully adjustable damage values for all rust creature types.
