SandWorm

Description




Beware the treacherous sands, for beneath the serene surface of the desert lies a dangerous threat—the sandworms. Such serpentine creatures, these predators pose both a physical danger to travellers and a risk to the delicate balance of the desert ecosystem. For those who ignore the warnings, the haunting echoes of sandworm roars serve as a chilling reminder of the peril that lies beneath the shifting sands.





This mod spawns a group of sandworms on Pertam that spit acid, they target characters but will damage grids in the vicinity

This is using MES creature spawner so modification can be made via the config file.

I'd love this mod without MES. MES kept causing issues on my server after Apex Survival

Although as I'm using creature spawner It probably needs to added it to a mes spawn group 😂

I've worked with Tiberious before, It's simple the planet creator just need to add the subtype to their planet generator and then add this mod as a dependency

I forgot to add manners to my message,apologies for that.

My friend Tiberious1 is a planet creator and a few of his planets are on the workshop, we have a star wars server we have and now the other admins are adding NPC's.

Id love it if you could please make these lil buggers work XD

if this is at all possible id be truly grateful

could you make this work with the planet Tatooine?

I'm not going to use any hacks or old workarounds. The system in place rendering a NPC make any larger objects invisible if the root bone is off th screen (at least last time I tested). this made any large creatures flicker in and out of existence when near the edge of vision

In regards to the fellow Fremen's inquiry... there's a workaround for big-npc's that was used in a game I used to play years ago... Computer just couldn't handle big models and big hitboxes like that back then.
The strat was to make one wide, flat model that was the "center" or "heart" of the npc, and the other parts of the npc were actually separate entities that would reflect damage back towards the main piece. There were definitely issues, but it can really help bring Shai'hulud to the desert planet.
I think that's also how the big worms work in factorio too, as that game's engine wasn't made for huge, larger-than-the-screen enemies.
Hope it help, love your work. Cheers!:steamthumbsup:

In time, I have a lot to update.

Will you be updating this to have them drop meat for the survival update?

Nope, you can't make big NPC things the game engine doesn't like it
