@Shrimp, No problem! Hopefully it works.

Oh I see! You're an absolute angel for fixing it, thank you! <3

@Shrimp, I'm so glad you like it!
It isn't supposed to always pick player 1. Turns out I did something silly with the code that was causing that. It was picking a "chosen parent" and then just ignoring that choice, whoops! Thank you for letting me know! It shouldn't be too hard to fix, so hopefully I will be able to update it soon.

I love this mod! My friends and I use it whenever we play together but that has made us notice something. Whenever a pup is spawned, no matter what one of it's parents is player 1. If used with Pups+ the pup variant will also match player 1. Would love to see an update eventually where others such as player 2 and 3 together could have their own pup and that the compatibility with Pups+ would choose the variant between the two parents. (Ex. If parent 1 is Saint and parent 2 is hunter it would then choose between a hunter and tundra pup for the outcome). Love the mod even if it doesn't ever get updated like that, it's a must when we play! <3

@LucineDaBee, It depends how much you know about programming/modding, but it wouldn't be too complicated to make a mod that's just a random change to spawn a creature every time the player sleeps in a shelter. If you wanted to learn, it would probably be a good first project!

I don't plan to update this mod for the time being. Its already a bit bloated and I worry about over complicating it by adding even more.

I love the genetic slugpups mod. Im not sure if youre updating any more, but i was wondering if there was a way to make other things have a chance to spawn in shelters too. The scavalution mod adds Scavenger pups and i wanted to make them able to spawn in. if youre not updating any more, is there a way i could homebrew the code myself?

@Turquoise Cat the glitch first happened with random Buff, and I think it might did something, what idk but it doesn't seem to be a problem with genetic Slugpups. from what Random buffs exception logs say, it has something to do with a null item, the null item thing seems to be a running problem with random buff as people have been sending their exception logs in their bug reports. so far with my testing to see what caused the glitch, nothing has happened. the glitch was happening after random buff was disabled, so something happened to a different mod. sorry if I caused any concern, I was talking to a friend about it when we came to the conclusion that random buff had some problem with a different mod, still haven't found it yet or had the glitch but it isn't any of the slugpup mods I have

@RandomLynxInBeanie, hmm I'm not sure what would cause that. Thank you for letting me know about it. If it happens again, could you check your Rain World folder for an exception log? It generates when there is an error. That can help explain what caused the problem.

@Turquoise Cat I'll keep it in mind. I had decided to try the mod before your answer and I might have encountered a bug, but idk if it's because of this mod or not. the bug is that sometimes when I shelter with a slugpup and start a new cycle, the game seems to break and display a red shelter, and I don't think it's the one I slept in cause it doesn't seem to be facing the right way. so far this has only happened in shaded, chimney canopy and subterranean. the only other slugpup mods I have enabled are Pups+, pup karma and Slugpup Safari (I did have a promblem with Slugpup Safari I need to tell the devs about actually, but idk if it has anything to do with this bug)

@RandomLynxInBeanie, Don't worry! That's a very fair question. I have not specifically updated the mod to work with Watcher 1.5. I briefly tested it and everything seems to still be working, but I was not very thorough. I can't guarantee that something won't break.

I had a question, does this mod work with Watcher 1.5? I know it says it works with watcher pre 1.5, but wanted to see if it had been updated for watcher 1.5 yet, cause I wanted to try this mod but want to make sure it works with watcher first. sorry for any inconvenience or annoyance, just curious. have a good day/night/afternoon

@Uksshikosagfk, You should not need them to already be unlocked. It's not checking for that.

@Samoth_Five, I believe it does count to the overall slugpup count, but I have not tested it.

I do have one question of when a slugpup does spawn through this does it contribute to the over all slugpup cap

Do you need to have slugpups unlocked already for this to work?

@Roach, that's very interesting! I would guess its some interaction with dress my slugcat and pups+? Was the problematic pup an aquatic pup? Some people mentioned aquatic pups not working in the pups+ bug reports. So I just tested it and having an aquatic pup while dress my slugcat was enabled did crash the game.

@Turquoise Cat, I have located the troublesome mod! Apperantly the "dress my slugcat" mod had been causing issues, I only use it to make hunterpups look like sphinx cats with the "sphinx slugcat mod" but neither of my pups that were born were hunters? I honestly don't know why that was happening but I'm terrible at navigating my folders, sorry.

err I can try? I'm using a lot of mods lol, I'm disabling them one by one to try and find the one causing mischief!

@Roach, Don't worry, your not bothering me! The next time it happens, could you please check your Rain World folder for a file called exception log? When the game crashes that usually has some helpful information. Also what other mods are you using?

hello? I'm sorry to bother you but so far when I've played with a friend and made a slugpup the first would spawn in fine but whenever we end up making a second one it crashes the game.

I've added it to my list, but I don't plan on adding anything new to this mod for a while. Thanks for the suggestion though!

@The Elemental Squad, maybe, or just a little icon at the bottom of the screen

how would the player show this? maybe a blue mother passage above their head?

Hey again!! Mod/Genetic Slugpup config idea: When you birth/find a pup you gain a little buff called "Mothers instinct", which increases your damage output to 1.25x? (only when near pup).

@Angel, Of course! I'm happy to help

@Turquoise Cat, me too! Thx for the help tho :D Nice to see a mod author replying to their own mod <3

@Xero, Oh good! I'm glad it worked!

@Turquoise Cat, update: I tried it on hunter and it works! I think its because i had jolly on and i set the parents req to 2 when i wasnt playing with anyone

@Turquoise Cat, I'm pretty sure. I was playing Survivor and i swear it was enabled- I'll try again and see if it works and enable all scugs to have pups

@Xero, I just tested it and it looks like it is still working for me. Are you sure that the slugcat you are playing as in expedition is selected to be able to spawn pups in this mod's remix menu?

@Turquoise Cat, yeah I've slept multiple times, i think the new update has broke it. possibly it could be caused by a pup administration issue? im not sure since i dont do coding and stuff like that. hope it gets fixed!

@Xero, It should work in expedition. Its possible the recent Watcher update broke it, I haven't had the chance to test it yet.

upd: took off pups+ still doesnt work :(

uh, weird thing. does this mod work in expedition? because i was on exp with pup spawn chance set to 100%, no pups were spawning. i had pups+ on but i wasnt saint or anything?? pups+ might be the issue but idrk

@IC-XC Yes

I just had an experience with Spearmaster's campaign while playing with a friend, they were an artificer and we made a slugpup and but when we started the cycle it spawned both in the wall and invisible, when we tried to leave the den the game would crash, it had four little green food pips so I think it was an aquatic pup, I had to disable the mod and go to a different shelter to get the game to work again. Also when my friend was in the shelter they'd spawn in the wall too.

does this work with pups+? because it says pupbase doesnt :(

nvm

i'm not seeing the custom blue pups for artificer

mitosis

I GOT ARTI PUPS AS THEIR ORIGINAL COLOR-

I understand the confusion

oh. that makes more sense than what I thought.

@Whitey, That's interesting. I thought moth pups already did work for outsider, but I probably never tried it with pups+ also enabled. Thanks for pointing that out!

@The Elemental Squad, Artificer isn't excluded. The "special exception" means that sometimes Arti's pups will not be red.

why is artificer excluded?

NOODL WHATT ;-;

Can mothpups be added to this? i keep getting rivulet pups on the outsider

would be insane if you were walking around in gutter and you ♥♥♥♥ out a slugpup and it just falls to its death

so you can give birth

Understandable lol its such a silly thing
