Crazy idea, could we have an option for the clawing, bites, and scratches from regular unnatural darkness?

I wish I could read

Bet

check mod setting

Could we get an option for enemies being safe from darkness? I wanted to do an I am legend type deal

sorry, forgot to write, it somehow just fixed itself. just from one moment to the next i started taking damage at night. nearly gave me a heart attack after being lulled in for so long

@Kasrkin Have you checked the mod settings? The default dmg out of the box is 0.

oh, yeah, sorry, i tried both, adding it at gamestart and adding it via Dev Mode. i get messages, it SOUNDS like damage is happening, but everyone is fine

did you add the gameCondition to scenario

so, i dont know if thats just on my end, but i also have no damage happening, even when i break it down to only lethal Darkness, without any other mods.

Is there something I need to do to turn this on? I added the mod, but there is no difference during nighttime.

Wait I just downloaded it and realised that might be exactly what this is.. lol!

I love this, such a good idea. Can you add a mod option to make this a separate event from unnatural darkness? As I would like both to be in the game. Thank you for making this cool mod!

yes

Will it also happen during eclipses?

What do I do if the sun seems to stop coming out, when using Oblivion Night?

ye it as you described, the effect will only take place at night (6pm or 18:00)

How exactly does oblivion night work? Will the map be normally bright during the day, or will it still be eternal darkness, but only the effects take place at night? (Never played don't starve)

what in game hours does oblivion night take effect specifically?

I did a little more testing here, seems like the damage does work as long as you trigger the event from dev mode, but doesn't seem to work if you set it as a permanent condition at the start of the game. This is specifically for oblivion, not oblivion night which seems to work fine.

I do use tons of mods though and have no idea what might be causing this interaction. Either way, triggering it from dev mode is a good enough work around for me. Thanks again, OP :)

@Cris QR Code do you able to figure out which mod that override this mod damage dealing, resulting in 0 damage done?

I'm having the same issue others have mentioned, the damage sound and notification play but there's no actual damage. Nevertheless, I love the concept of this mod and really appreciate your making it. Thanks, OP :)

Anyone having issues where the darkness does not do damage: Move this mod higher in the mod list. I don't know how high, but I set it to load right after Anomaly, so pretty high up, and works perfectly now. RimPy for some reason puts it pretty low in the loading order.

Randomly started working? lol changed nothing I just left it on?

Oh, and nothing pops up in the error logs.

I don't use combat extended and I'm having the same problem. I set damage to 3, armor pen to 10%, apply settings, naked pawns. No pawns are getting hurt by the darkness. I activated all valid targets and aside from playing the sound, it doesn't do damage

Oblivion Night is awesome and I was looking around the workshop for something similar for my next playthrough, only to be greeted with the wonderful realization that it's been added to the very mod I had as my backup plan.
I was initially confused by the desc so anyone confused:

Lethal / Permanent Darkness: Sun is kapoot + Darkness damages you.

Oblivion Darkness: Darkness damages you, but sun is not kapoot, so safe to be out in the day. Like in desc, it's like Don't Starve.

Seems using Combat extended causes the no damage bug for me, when disabled my pawn gets damaged again

and please do post error log, if any.

the attacked sound play but no damage? what your pawn Incoming Damage Modifier stat? and what your pawn armor?

I've changed it from 2 to 10 to 999. The sound play and it says they are being attacked But no damage. I don't know if it's any of my mods. I do appreciate the reply

the update that introduce mod setting might affect it, try go to mod setting and tweak damage value a bit?

So my colonists are not getting hurt with your Oblivion mod. Had to switch to unnatural darkness and it finally hit them. Is there a problem with it somewhere?

Update:
added mod option to increase the amount of damage per hit and armor penetration.

Is there a way you could add a slider into the mod setting so you can change the amount of damage the darkness does and its' attack intervals.

@Dead Beat Gamer currently darkness damage can be made negligible by wearing a lot of armor because it has 0% armor pen.
my suggestion is making an optional option that make darkness damage ignore armor?(give it insane armor pen)

came here for this because when i took a forced weather quest with permanent Unnatural Darkness it... turned the sun back on haha... thanks for this :)

I think there used to be a mod that did something like that based on Darkest Dungeon now that I think of it.

@Farmer Joe Hmmm, I don't think so. At least not with the micro managing way I play. I just love having environmental threats to contend with rather than raid after raid. The other idea I had was to make oblivion an event.

I just realized the damage doesn't scale much, so if a pawn is too tanky the darkness will do literally nothing

@Dead Beat Gamer sound tempting, but wouldn't that be quite annoying to deal with, how "lethal"
are we talking here, deal huge amount of damage at once? kill pawn if they stay in the dark for longer than X second?

I really love this mod! I have one suggestion for a third permanent game condition; Oblivion Darkness, where anywhere where light is at 0% (or -50% or what ever) the darkness will be lethal. So for example if during the day you go to a cave the darkness in the cave would be lethal. I hope that makes sense. Just an idea I had that I thought you might be interested in. Thank you so much for this stellar mod!

Yeah confirmed they do not interact

seems like @Nanao-kun they dont interact. the oblivion gate isnt as dark as unatural darkness to me

Does this mod use the same darker night as the normal Unnatural Darkness? I have a mod that makes the Unnatural Darkness much darker and was wondering whether it would apply to this one as well.

can you stop it from killing shamblers, the dead bodies rise only to die again

@Farmer Joe Ahh, makes sense. I thought it might have been a special exception since you still get the warning letter for solar flares in UD, unlike other events that just go missing. Thx for the clarification 👍

@BlueBead Oblivion doesn't prevent other incident from taking place, hence why Solar Flare is taking effect. normally UD prevent all other incident.

FYI solar flares do nothing during unnatural darkness but not oblivion. Not sure if you'd count that as a bug or a feature. I've been kinda enjoying the panicked scramble for torches when they come, haha.
Also I'd love an option to make hostile humanlikes immune to the dark to make things more challenging.

Thanks for making this mod! I was so disappointed when the official permanent game condition: unnatural darkness was super lame, so having this is great.

This is a mod that I really need. It's really well made, but I need extra features, I hope the darkness doesn't attack the hostile pawn. i love this mod
