# This mod requires Mixinbooter, GeckoLib, and Scape and Run: Parasites. ### Versions 1.0.7-1.0.9h2 do not require Mixinbooter, but are also unstable ## Intended SRP Version: 1.9.21 Using versions below this one will likely lead to issues! Installing Patchouli will add a guidebook for the mod's mechanics. Many tooltips for this mod will only be visible if you are a parasite. If you are a parasite, you will be referred to as a Vagrant. You may encounter hostile resistance. _Are you a frequent devil's advocate? To the point people hate you for it?_ _Do you vehemently despise anything that doesn't have a black/grey/pale orange/light green/yellow/red color palette?_ _Do you, due to some ulterior motive or nefarious agenda, disagree with Frequently Denied Suggestion #7 on the Scape and Run: Parasites Discord Server being a Frequently Denied Suggestion?_ _Do you eat small spiders or ants you find in your room? How do they taste?_ _Do you feel the inexplicable urge to point at random passerby and yell to nonexistent underlings to FETCH YOU THEIR SOULS?_ _Are you a stain on this world? Do you originate from smelly caves deep underground?_ _Do you feel glee when you hear a Preeminent parasite is nearby?_ _Would you write an exposé on the process of combustion?_ **If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, you should probably go see a therapist.** **If not, you should still have a therapist, it's good for you.** # Cotesia Glomerata is an addon to Scape and Run: Parasites which allows you to become a disgusting flesh monster. ### Named after a species of parasitoid wasp. ## Features: - **You can become a parasite**, weakness to fire and splitting headache included. You can also hide and unhide, but you'll lose your chestplate slot if you aren't hiding. - Hiding will prevent mobs that target parasites from targetting you. The inverse is also true: If you look like a parasite, they'll kill you like one too! - Works with Mobends and Real First Person 2. - You receive effects from Orbs as if you were a parasite. - Mobs that normally target players but don't target parasites will still target you. Your new body hasn't obscured your rotten soul. - Parasites will attack whatever you hit, or whatever hits you, given they can see you. - They may even strike preemtively if the enemy is targetting you. - Preventing the damage, usually through a Shield, will still cause them to attack. - Your head can be severed using a sword, **wiping your Adaptations and giving several debuffs.** - Decapitation only has a 60% chance to proc, but that can be configured. - If you are burning (and don't have Fire Resistance), ANY sword hit can do this.

More on that... (Spoilers)

- In the first chest you open, you'll find a Trustworthy Note. (at night) - Do not kill any parasites. This will ward the Note off. - Use this item, reach inside, then sit tight and wait. - (Don't touch your keyboard) - (The process can be made instant in the configs, or by disabling the Assimilated Adventurer)

## Parasite Drops are obtained using Factories for those who can't kill them. That means you, presumeably. - **Two new utility parasites**, not including yourself, to mess around with (they haven't caught on to the alias trend yet, give them time):

The Parasites

### The Factory: - Its Tier is determined on creation. If you want a stronger one, advance to a higher tier, then create it. You can turn it back into biomass by sneak right clicking while holding it (This will unbind it instead, if it is bound). - Stores biomass, and can create parasites with it. Also has an item form, and can be created with its corresponding key (will cost 10 biomass by default, your health can be used as currency if you don't have enough). Holding SHIFT while hovering over the item will show a not-so-brief overview of its functionality. This can be disabled. - Parasites created by factories will attribute kills to their creator, or the nearest parasite player if they can't remember, and cannot be stored by Dispatchers. They additionally cannot contribute points via the Merge System, or by despawning. - Factories will spawn parasites at the position of whatever they are targetting, if possible. You'll know if its willing based on it making a different ambient sound. - Can be bound to a parasite to make more of it. Or not. Spawned parasites inherit the custom name of the Factory, if applicable. - In its item form, it can be used to convert parasites of its tier to biomass. It will do this passively to lower-tier parasites nearby, if bound to one, or upgrade them if it is bound to the upgrade output (e.x. a Mangler factory will upgrade nearby Rupters). - Does not deal contact damage. You made it, don't look at me. - Can eat food on the ground. Items can also be given to it in exchange for evolution points or a different item in return. Most trades will produce Parasite Biome equivalents for existing blocks, and vice versa, with a special tooltip to indicate that something isn't quite right with the output (just flavor text). - Showing it a clock (Bloody Clock or vanilla clock) will show the current Evolution Phase and number of Evolution Points. It also mentions the Phase Cooldown, if one is active. The Bloody Clock will show this information regardless of whether a Factory is involved. - Releases withering clouds when attacked, and eventually orbs, scaling in size and strength with its tier. - Can adapt to damage if it is Primitive tier (Tier 2) or higher. - Parasites might congregate around it. They like your handiwork. - Preeminent (tier 5) or higher tier factories need a Colony nearby in order to make parasites. - Displays its bound parasite's spawn item. The mod looks for these by searching for an item with the following id: {modid}:itemmobspawner_{Classname, without the Entity, and all lowercase}. - (Except for the Crux, it has an override) ### The Latch: - _Requires Assimilated Tier (Tier 1) by default_ - Acts as more of a weapon than its own mob. Pressing its corresponding key will launch one out at whatever you are facing. - Forces you to unhide when created. - For parasites, it will apply effects and act as a leash, preventing whatever it is attached to from being picked up by a Dispatcher. - **When it catches on fire, so will you.** - For enemies, it will attack and convert those it kills. Its damage scales with the tier (and attack damage stat) of its bearer, and its **Minimum Damage** with scale with the former. - Can adapt to damage if its bearer is Primitive tier (Tier 2) or higher.

- **A configurable Biomass storage and utilization system** allowing you to spawn in parasites and change them into other parasites. This replaces Killcount, you aren't cool enough. - Adding to that, parasites will remember what they used to be when evolving via natural means, so you can't farm biomass by just spawning a bunch of Rupters and waiting for Manglers. The extra is taxed. - **Damage Adaptation!** You can adapt to damage sources starting from Primitive Tier (2) onwards, and the quality of and amount of adaptations increases with Corpse Bloom. - Adaptations for parasite players can be cleared by severing their secondary head, using a sword. - Mobs can do this too, so watch out! - **Orbs!** You can release an Orb starting from Adapted Tier (3) onwards, which applies effects to parasites and enemies alike, or even yourself! The effect list is fully configurable, abiding by SRP's standard. - Parasite player orbs also have the unique ability to **diffuse** any beneficial effects their bearers have to other parasites in range. This is configurable too. - Via the **Leer** ability, you can direct parasites to move to a specific place, or attack a specific target. - Past Pure Tier (4), it will even spawn Seizers! - **Leaping!** You can leap in the direction you are facing if standing on the ground or in water, starting from Assimilated Tier (1). - This can be used to clear heights or distances, or just to swim faster. - Timing a jump with the leap allows you to go somewhat farther, at the cost of height. - Fall Reduction starting from Primitive Tier (2) onwards. - Also reduces damage from collisions, such as that of an Elytra. - If the distance fallen is below a threshold, no damage is taken. - Certain SRP potion effects will be hotswapped on application (Corrosive, etc.), they don't even get the chance to be applied. This is configurable. - You are also immune to a few effects, by default Viral, Poison, and Hunger are on the no-fly list, since parasites are already immune to these. - A somewhat crippling fear of certain items, mostly fire-related. - You can see what mobs have COTH, but only if you are a parasite. The effect is different if they are fully infected. - You can also see what parasites you made, provided you are holding a Factory. - **A new HUD overlay that** shows biomass count, bloom level (the swelling "heart"), Evolution Points contributed, whether you are hiding with an eye icon (and can toggle that state, the lock icon), and your current stored parasite, if you have one. - It also shows the status of several special abilities, such as the Latch. - **A new GUI** for managing Adaptations and Phase Boosters. There's also a slot for parasitic armor to configure its Adaptations as well. - **A leveling system** ("Corpse Bloom", name pending) that gates interacting with higher tier parasites behind Evolution Point contributions, among other things. You advance by adding points via killing or infecting mobs (There should be a points contributed counter on the HUD, the milestones are the same as Evolution Phases), but you cannot advance past the current Evolution Phase number (if you're higher than the phase, it won't get taken away, don't worry). The lightning effect that Adapteds use will occur for you if you advance, along with some dialogue. - **Bloom, along with biomass, is reset to 0 when you die. Points contributed, however, will stay.** - If a Colony is present, death will instead devolve you (subtract 1) and be prevented. You'll need to wait a bit for it to come back. - **You cannot interact (dissolve, upgrade, bind Factories to) with parasites above your level.** - Parasites below your level will follow you around, if you aren't hiding. They can be distracted by something to kill. This can be disabled in the config. - Stage IV Beckons will automatically upgrade you to Tier 4 (Pures). This is configurable, and the buff is lost when you die. - Optional stat scaling (health, armor, damage) for parasite players, by default applying SRP's global parasite scaling (can be disabled), but player-specific variables are also provided. _They can stack, too!_ - Four new attributes for pack developers, melee and projectile variants for Percentage Damage and Minimum damage. - srpcotesia.meleePercentageDamage and srpcotesia.projectilePercentageDamage deal a percentage of an attack's damage as True Damage. 0.3 would correspond to 30% of damage added. - srpcotesia.meleeMinimumDamage and srpcotesia.projectileMinimumDamage deal a flat amount of True Damage. - The resulting calculation becomes (amount * percentDamage) + minimumDamage - Hunger is disabled for parasite players by default, eating nutritious food grants biomass instead. Biomass is used to heal too, but only if you haven't been hit recently. - **The Guandao**, a modular parasite-specific weapon type that strengthens nearby allies, reducing damage they take and increasing damage they deal. The weapon is designed to make sure the user is actively fighting alongside their parasites. - The weapon has long reach and a weak AOE attack. **Attacking a mob, or a parasite nearby, will coat the mob in incense, increasing damage dealt via Tag Damage.** - This weapon is composed of a **blade** and a **coating**. - The blade determines defensive effects. It is made from a set few materials. - The coating determines **Tag Damage**. It can be made from tool materials you may be more familiar with, like Iron or Diamond. **Some even have special effects!** - **Brew Sacs**, throwable splash potion-esque weapons which apply effects and, if certain effects are added, deal damage, as well as the **Osmosis** to modify them. - Right click on the Osmosis with a Brew Sac to put it in. From there, right click with a viable reagent and it will begin brewing (you'll see flame particles emanate from it. Don't worry, it can't burn you). Once the reagent disappears, you can take out the brew (or add another reagent, your choice). - The reagent is shown on top of the Osmosis, with the current stored brew below. - Reagents will have a special tooltip added to indicate what they do, mentioning the Osmosis. - **Guandao-specific enchantments.** - **Diffusion** - Causes the holder's potion effects to be applied to any parasites buffed. - **Hive Protection** - Analogous to the vanilla Protection enchantment, applies to all parasites buffed. Goes up to level 6 instead of 4, since only one book is needed. Level 6 is identical to having Protection IV on every armor piece. - Also has an Advanced variant if Rin's So Many Enchantments is installed. Twice as strong, with an extra 3% damage reduction per level on top. - **Factory-specific enchantments.** - **Fluidity** - Factories will produce parasites faster. 10% reduced production time per level, up to 50% at level 5. - **Dense Tissue** - Raise Maximum Health for created parasites by 20% per level, up to level 5. - **Flaying** - Raise Attack Damage for created parasites by 10% per level, up to level 5. - **Tachysensia** - Raise Movement Speed by 15% per level, up to level 4. - **Bulwark** - Adds 6 Armor and 3 Armor Toughness per level for created parasites, up to level 5. - **Undying** - Treasure enchantment, Causes Factories to drop themselves upon death, rather than being lost forever. - **Cunning** - Treasure enchantment, Parasites deal extra Minimum Damage, which pierces most forms of defense. Increases Minimum Damage by 2 per level, up to 10 damage at level 5. - **Virulent, Berzerking, Breaching, and Deviantive** - Causes parasites to take on the normally randomized custom variants. Some have special stats, others apply effects, and a minor few are purely cosmetic. - **Virulent** is a Treasure enchantment. - **Throwing** - Causes the Kyphosis to throw nearby parasites at enemies. The parasites will receive Rage II for 10 seconds. - **Masticator-specific enchantments.** - **Rarefaction** - Reduces the chance to consume a **Fetid Canister** by 10% per level, up to 50% at level 5. - Several new blocks to mess around with. - The **"Crafting Table"** will damage non-parasites that attempt to use it. - The **Hijacked Enchanting Table** trades in its randomness for sourcing enchantments from neighboring chunks. Obtained by using an Enchanting Table on a Gnat. - Enchantments cost both biomass and experience. Lapis is used to increase the enchantment's level. - Can enchant items that are already enchanted, at an increased XP cost. - A **Bleeding Tome** can be placed in the table's tome slot to record enchantments for a set of chunks. Once recorded, any table it is placed in can apply those enchantments! - The **Rotted Bookshelf** increases enchanting power by twice the normal amount, and parasites won't infect it. Obtained by trading a Bookshelf with a factory. - The **Gloom Torch** mimics a normal torch, except that its shine will not prevent parasite spawns. - Parasites won't break it as a result. The same applies to any adjacent light sources, Gloom or not. - This might be problematic for servers, so the effect can be configured/disabled. - **Light sources from this mod need to be at the same y level (or 1 block below) as whatever is spawning. On the ground or in it, although low on the wall is fine as well. This reduces the amount of blocks to check per each spawn attempt.** - There is also a block variant, the **Dread Lamp**, crafted using a Gloom Torch and Chitin, that emits no particles and a full level 15 light level. Someone said the Jack-o-Lantern was better, so here we are. - **Chitin** is made using Hivesteel and Longarms Armor Fragments. Put the Hivesteel in the center, and surround it with 4 fragments. Hivesteel is what happens when the Parasite Biome infects metallic/gemstone blocks, and is from base SRP. **Chitin is also tougher than Obsidian!** - The **Beckon Harbringer** can be used to make a Beckon via Right Click. It works similarly to a Dispatcher Nidus, but it doesn't collect kills on its own; you will have to supply them yourself. It will take 160 biomass to make a Beckon with this block, and there needs to be no others nearby. - You can do the same thing with a Dispatcher Nidus too, actually. - The **Dendritus** is a special block that can augment Dispatchers to allow parasites to phase through walls instead of breaking them. This can be used to protect your base from parasites destroying it. - You can give it to the Dispatcher directly, or place it below it and Right Click it. - The **Reclamation Table** is a special receptacle which can be used to send parasite drops/equipment somewhere else in exchange for **Experience**. - Simply drop the items on top of the block, then right click it and spend a mandatory 50 biomass shipping fee, and you'll get experience in return depending on the items sent over. - The block will only accept **16** individual item stacks at a time. - The **Well Sealer** is a non-parasitic block that damages nearby **Wells**. - The **Lithograph** is a non-parasitic block that processes **Remnants** into **Chip Fragments**, which are used in crafting. Remnants from 5 different mobs are necessary to create the fragments. - **Salted Blocks** are a set of infectious blocks formed when **Creeping Salt**, an Armageddon mechanic, interact with parasitic blocks. Don't touch them! - The **Saltine** is a special **Creeping Salt** block that serves as the main source of the infection. - The **Clutch** is a non-parasitic explosive that destroys **Salted Blocks**. - The **Bounty** is an ambient non-parasitic block (like the Node or Colony Cores) which communicates the identity of known Vagrants (any parasitic player) to **Enhanced Mobs** within its active range. - **_These can be very dangerous if not taken care of._ It is hostile to parasites!** - **Enhanced Mobs** will place these past **Ante 4** once they have encountered a Vagrant and are left alone for too long. - Using an **EMF Reader** on an **Enhanced Mob** will allow you to locate it, provided one is active. - It may be safer to just explore areas you have previously visited. - **Cartilage** is a dark, spongey block that can be made in bulk from Hivesoil/Visceral Mud/Hivestone and Altered Tendons. The Parasite Biome will not spread to it, so it can be used to encapsulate certain areas you don't want infected. - It is somewhat toxic to non-parasites, rarely giving Bleeding to those nearby. - A bunch of mixins to make sure you and the new parasites don't get shanked by your new colleagues - The inability to attack parasites, given you're one of them. You also can't use Carcasses or Lures, but you probably predicted that. - **Several new items.** - The **Living Pick-Axe** can be obtained by trading a Living Axe and 75 biomass with a Tier 3+ Factory. It works on most tool types, and has a 75% chance to degrade armor by 5% each hit. It also harvests most parasite blocks at twice the speed, and Chitin even faster. - Parasitic blocks do not drain durability. - The Sentient variant has a 100% chance to degrade armor and is generally stronger across the board. - The **Living Scalpel** increases item yield from Factories when salvaging, and can be obtained via trading Infested Soil or Hivesoil along with 10 biomass with a Factory. - The **Ghastly Bandage** heals a parasite for 5 health on use. Crafted using a Blood Lotus and Rupter Viscera. - **Dirty Needles** are stackable offensive syringes. While they can't be thrown, hitting enemies with them will **vastly accelerate** COTH infection, breaking it in the process. They can be made from Assimilated Flesh, Rupter Viscera, and Glass. - Only one is needed to fully infect a viable mob. - The glass can be replaced with Hivesoil or Infested Soil, which will net more per craft. - The **Scorned Pearl** is a special item which can be used in the offhand when using a Carcass. It will lower the Evolution Phase by the central Lure's stage. It requires a Nether Star, four Factory Innards, and four Ender Pearls to craft. - The **Callous Chip** is a crafting material created from 9 **Chip Fragments**. The fragments are created using a **Lithograph**. Having Callous Chips in your inventory will give you the **Yielding** effect. - **Remnants** are special discs (not of the music variety) which drop from **Enhanced Mobs** past **Ante 5**. They are personalized to the mob that drops them. - The **Signal Jammer** is an item which disables multiple of the special abilities of any **Enhanced Mobs** in range when used. It requires a Callous Chip and 4 Iron Ingots. - The **Well Magnet** is a special item which teleports the nearest **Well** to within 100 blocks of the user. It requires, among other things, a **Wither Remnant**, which drops from an **Enhanced Wither**. - The **Electroreceptor** is a tool which prints the Killcount of a parasite when used on it. - **The Masticator** is a flamethrower-esque tool that spews infectious miasmic clouds using **Fetid "Canisters"**, **infesting blocks and generating Evolution Points past Phase Four**. It is made through trading a Living Core to a Factory, and then giving the resulting item to a Stage I Beckon. The canisters are crafted using Beckon Membranes and High-tier parasite parts. - It can be upgraded into **The Consecrator** via a Stage IV Beckon, spreading Parasite Biome blocks (and the biome itself if in range of a Node) instead of Beckon blocks. - Sneaking causes it to create Beckon blocks instead. - The **Bleeding Tome** is a utility item for use in a **Hijacked Enchanting Table**. When placed in its designated slot, it will record the enchantments that the table displays. A tome with enchantments recorded will instead allow the table to apply those enchantments. - It can be reset via any crafting grid. - **The Pact** is a useable item which removes all parasites in the world, excluding Nexus versions and a few others. If enough non-player-sourced parasites are removed, a **Scent Gland** will be formed that references them. An Evolution Cooldown will be set upon usage. The item is crafted from Pristine Matter, a Beckon Harbringer, Noxious Brains, and Beckon Membranes. - Attacking a mob with the gland will spawn a **Scent** to unleash the referenced parasites. - Sneaking while using the item will prevent its consumption, and the creation of the Scent Gland. It also doesn't apply the Evolution Cooldown. - A **Resolute** variant can be crafted with the original and a Dispatcher Membrane. This emulates the Sneaking behavior regardless of whether or not you are sneaking; no consumption, Evolution Cooldown, or Scent Gland to its name. - The **Dismissal Wand** will remove any parasite it is used on. Only works for Vagrants, or any player in Creative Mode. Crafted from Beckon Membranes and Altered Tendons. - The **Bloodstained Saddle** is an item which allows some parasites to be ridden. Control is identical to that of a Horse, minus any bucking behavior, and generally much faster. It is obtained by trading a Saddle with a Factory. The following parasites can be ridden: - Assimilated/Feral Horse, Pig - Primitive/Adapted Reeker, Summoner - Adapted Yelloweye - Monarch - Light Bomber - Overseer - Wraith - Bogle - The **Nidus Accumulator** records any kills that its bearer (or parasites they created) perform. Once it records 15 kills, it will transform into a **Dispatcher Nidus**. - **Nature's Mockery** is an item that stores any kills that its bearer (or parasites they created) perform. Each kill can be extracted for 3 biomass each, or 5 biomass each if all 10 are collected. - The **Well Divining Rod** is a non-parasitic tool that emits sparks in the direction of **Wells**. - The **Tally Counter** is an item that reports the current value of **Ante**. - The **EMF Reader** is an item that tracks the location of **Bounties**, much like a compass. You need to use it on an **Enhanced Mob** to bind it, however. - The **Salt Compass** is an item that tracks the location of the nearest **Graduate Saltine**. - **Ruinous Salt** is a fragment of a **Creeping Salt** block, obtained when they are broken. Used for crafting, and harmful in the inventory. - **Frayed Wires** are drops of **Enhanced Mobs**. Used for crafting, and past **Ante 5** harmful in the inventory. - The **Vagrant Divining Rod** emits red mist in the direction of the nearest Parasite Player (or Vagrant). - The **Putrid Unit** and **Mortifying Tentacle** are two new parasite drops only obtainable via Factory salvaging parasite drops from Feral and Preeminent parasite factories, respectively. - The **Soulless Core** is a special Living Core sapped of its lifeforce. If **Hermit's Arsenal** is installed, it can be used to obtain Living Core variants from that mod. It can be created using a Living Core, Dirty Needle, and a Toxic Lung. - The **Enhancement Wand** is a Creative Mode-exclusive item that causes any mob it is used on to become an **Enhanced Mob**. - The **Blighted Mirror** will, while held, reveal the location of any Beckons or Dispatchers close enough to be rendered. - The **Macabre Pearl** can be used to force parasites you made to follow you. It can be crafted from Rupter Viscera and an Ender Pearl. The item is not consumed in the process. - Sneaking while using the item will cause it to teleport all parasites it was used on to the bearer. This has a short cooldown. - Holding the item shows you parasites that have been marked by it. - The **Faustian Note** works similarly to the Trustworthy Note, without the Evolution Phase restriction. Parasite Players can make this by trading either a Book or a Trustworthy Note with a Factory. It also tracks your current amount of points contributed, increasing the amount that other Parasite Player start with! - **Factory Innards** are dropped from Factories and Parasite Players when they die. It is advised that Parasite Players destroy this drop if they can, since it may be used against them later. This item won't drop if the death was environmental. - Parasitic equipment can be repaired by sneaking near a Primitive or Adapted Summoner. An Overseer can also do this. - This only applies to the equipment in your main hand. If you want to repair your armor, you'll have to do it one piece at a time. - Factories can be used to create drops for parasites using biomass, since as a member of the Hive you can't kill them. - Simply right click with a sword, or the Living Scalpel if you want a discount. - Some parasites have extra drops exclusive to this mechanic: - Bogle, Haunter, Wraith - Mortifying Tentacle - Bogle - Bogle Charge - Stage III/IV Beckon - Pristine Matter - Any Feral - Putrid Unit - Assimilated/Feral Enderman - Ender Pearl - Assimilated/Feral Cow - Leather - Assimilated/Feral Horse - Leather - Assimilated/Feral Sheep - Wool and String - Host and Herd - Bone - Assimilated Ender Dragon breath can be collected in a bottle. - **Scrying**, a new potion effect which scales Evolution Points gained on kill based on a mob's experience drop. Usually granted with a thrown Brew Sac. - **Phasing**, a new potion effect which makes parasites phase through walls to reach their target. - **Recuperation**, a new potion effect which heals once a second, the amount scales with the amplifier. Usually granted by the Latch. - **Antibodies**, a new potion effect which immunizes against several negative potion effects, provided its amplifier is high enough. Applied by Yelloweye/Wraith nades, or from the Latch. The list is configurable. - **Dazed**, a negative potion effect which stuns whatever is afflicted, pausing AI in its tracks. Used during this mod's cutscene. - **Gravity**, a negative potion effect that throws its target onto the ground, **dealing substantial damage on impact**. The damage dealt does not scale with distance fallen. - **Yielding**, a negative potion effect that causes percentage-maximum-health true damage to be dealt each time the afflicted takes damage from a living entity. Past a certain amplifier, ANY damage dealt will proc it. - **Clotting**, a negative potion effect that prevents healing entirely. - **Trauma**, a negative potion effect that marks a mob for death. If it reaches a high enough amplifier, **you WILL die**. - **A few new commands.** - /setbloom - sets the recipients' current Bloom tier to the provided number. - /biomass - modifies the recipients' current biomass count. - /parasitekills - modifies the recipients' current kills contributed. - /togglenote - allows or disallows the Trustworthy Note to appear for the recipients. - /toggleparasite - toggles whether the recipients are parasites. - /tellstrange - sends a message to the provided player(s) in the style of the cutscene. - /srpmobcounts - Shows detailed information on the amounts of each parasite that are in the dimension it is used in, as well as their mob ids. The results are sorted from most frequent to least. - Running the command with no arguments shows the top 10 most frequent parasites, equivalent to running /srpmobcounts 10. - /dendritus or /dendritus - Destroys, adds, or prints information about Dendriti (**Dendritus**, plural). - /atimer - modifies the Armageddon Timer. Related to the new threat. - /ante - modifies Ante. Related to the new threat. - **calibrate** will reset Ante to what value it would be at according to the world time. So if you use it at day 55, Ante will be set to 5. This also allows easy application of config changes. - /srpcwell or /srpcwell - Creates, destroys, or prints information about **Wells**. Related to the new threat. - /srpcbounty or /srpcbounty or /srpcbounty - Destroys, or prints information about **Bounties**. Related to the new threat. Can also cause them to forget or log specific players. - /srpcsaltine or /srpcsaltine - Manages **Graduate Saltines**. Related to the new threat. - /adapt - adds a single adaptation point for the provided damage source - The parasite can be a player or any other adaptible parasite. - This command bypasses SRP's adaptation blacklists, so be wary. - **Phase Boosters** to boost point gain (With a slot for equipping them). - They can also be configured to boost **Global** point gain. - **A new threat to deal with** (HEAVY WIP) that threatens to erase the parasites from existence. - **The Timer** (Disabled by default) - Given enough time passes, something will appear in the sky. If nothing is done to push it back, it will eventually erase the parasites from existence. - One can fight it by sealing **Wells**. More methods of doing so are planned. - **Enhanced Mobs**, and **Ante** - Given enough time, naturally spawning mobs will begin to attack parasites and gain new anti-parasite capabilities. The process by which this becomes stronger over time is called **Ante**, behaving much like Evolution Phases. It is not announced to the player, however. Ante increases by 1 every 10 days. - Once Ante reaches 10, around day 100, parasites will start to burn in sunlight. Fire Resistance can push it off, but the effect has a chance to be removed! - These abilities are gated behind specific Ante values. _It is recommended to refer to the ingame guidebook (via Patchouli) to get a rough idea of what will appear when. The milestones are included in a spoiler below._ - **Updating from pre-1.2.0 will cause Ante to be out of sync with the world time. Use _/ante calibrate_ to reset it. This can also be used if you changed the time between increases in the config.** - Enhanced Mobs will attempt to seek out nearby parasites. While they cannot discern **hiding** parasites from afar, getting **too close** may set them off! They will also employ the use of context clues, such as holding a Factory. - Once an Enhanced Mob has learned about you, **they will never forget**. They may even **tattle** to other Enhanced Mobs nearby! - **Defense** - Enhanced Mobs have an auxillary health bar, much like Absorption, which only applies to combat with parasites. This is associated with a Blue hurt color. - **Hyper Armor** - If Enhanced Mobs take damage below their Hyper Armor, they will flash Yellow and heal the damage instead! - **Bane** - Enhanced Mobs will deal extra damage to parasites. - Enhanced Mobs will drain adaptations on hit, 2 points for each damage source. - Enhanced Mobs will spawn **Motes** to chase down their targets. These will apply **Gravity** to pull down aerial foes, or **teleport** the mob to the target. They will eventually start dealing damage on their own too! - They will **Parry** any parasites not created by a player, creating an AOE stunning effect. - They possess a **Damage Cap**. - Fire damage doesn't work on them. - Negative Potion Effects will be **resisted**. - They apply **Yielding** after a certain point. - They have a chance to deal a **Critical Hit**, with increased damage, lesser AOE damage, and if Ante is high enough, **Clotting and/or Yielding** will be applied. - Past **Day 50**, they will begin to drop **Remnants**.

Bane and Defense multiplied by 1.5x - 6 - Day 60+ or Phase 7 - Motes now deal Yielding minimum damage on hit (They deal no damage prior), Mote count is increased to 2 - 7 - Day 70+ - Critical chance is increased to 75%, Critical Hits apply Clotting - 8 - Day 80+ - Motes deal regular damage alongside Yielding damage (no longer boss exclusive) - 9 - Day 90+ - All attacks are critical hits, Defense multiplied by 1.5x - 10 - Day 100+ - Nothing

- **Wells** - Wells will begin appearing every 20 days after day 50. They will spawn randomly in a 10,000 block radius around the origin, or x=0, z=0. - Wells will subtract Evolution Points from all dimensions each day they are active. Their subtraction scales with the Evolution Phase. - This can be prevented by finding each one as it appears using the **Well Divining Rod**, and destroying them with **Well Sealers**. - If the timer is enabled, sealing a **Well** will push it back by a few days, buying valuable time. - **Creeping Salt** - Only active past Phase 3 - **Creeping Salt** is a special infectious material that assimilates any parasitic blocks it touches, devouring Evolution Points in the process. - The infestation is propogated by **Saltines**, salt chunks that are placed at a chance whenever Nexus parasites, or rarely, any adaptible parasite is killed by an **Enhanced Mob**. - When a Saltine is left alone long enough, it will graduate and intensify the spreading greatly. **_This can even subsume the Parasite Biome if left to its own devices!_** - If the Parasite Biome is subsumed, the **Salted Plains** biome will be left in its place, rendering the area uninhabitable for parasites. - **A rework to the COTH effect**, vulnerable mobs must be damaged to a particular threshold (configurable) before they can be turned, with an accompanying sound cue. - **You will be rewarded for successfully infecting a mob with 6 Evolution Points once they reach the required amplifier, which will take around 2 minutes once their resistance is broken. This emulates standard COTH behavior, and has a sound cue akin to a screech.** - It will be a good idea to **mind how much damage you are dealing.** Deal too much, and they'll turn into an Incomplete Form and **award no points**. - TL:DR, reduce them to 50% health, but not below 30%, then wait two minutes for them to start emitting sparkling particles. You will hear a screech when this happens. - **A "robust" set of two config files**, since balancing is hard. They also provide some information on this mod's mechanics, although it isn't as informative as I'd like. - Minor Lycanite's Mobs and Epic Siege compatibility, SRP's configs can give them target tasks now. - Dissolution/Requiem will allow you to possess some parasites, specifically human-sourced ones. Non-parasitic mobs will either reject you entirely or be assimilated on possession. - Possessing an Assimilated Adventurer or Thrall will restore your body. - Probably bugs. # ## Known Issues: - Incompatible with **BetterPortals**, **VanillaFix**, and the Forge version of **Phosphor**. This is due to their extremely old mixins. - Incompatible with **Thicc Entities**. Use **Entifier** instead, it is just the same mod with the crash removed (same internal mod id and everything). - Incompatible with **Better Foliage** and in some cases **Surge**. They prevent Mixinbooter from loading its version of mixin. _If the mod complains that Mixinbooter isn't installed when it clearly is, this is usually why._ - The Surge issue appears to only occur when Essential is installed. Removing Surge should allow you to play as normal, presumeably. - Obfuscate and Real First Person 2 are incompatible with each other, and while this mod does aim to have compatibility for both, that does not apply to the case where both are installed. Things might break! - This mod's desaturation shader may conflict with Optifine if **Fast Render, Anisotropic Filtering or Antialiasing** are enabled, causing a black screen. - Versions of the mod prior to 1.0.10 are prone to incompatibilities with the following mods: Essential (Up to 1.0.9) - **Mixinbooter**, and by proxy the **Cleanroom Loader** (This one's a fun one) - **Electrobob's Wizardry** (merely visual, disable Spell Animations if you are desperate enough to use older versions of Cotesia, fixed in 1.0.4) - **Optifine** (Fixed in 1.0.7, presumeably) - Ironically enough, some of these older versions are compatible with Better Portals and Phosphor, but that came with its own set of issues. - The mod is held together with duct tape and prayers ## Plans: - Fixing any bugs you guys tell me about, or clarifying obscure stuff. Things are a little different on Modrinth so I don't know if there is a dedicated issues page. I'll probably make an empty Gitlab repo or something. - A distant inferno burns everlasting... ### If you get a crash with this mod and SRP installed, and there's reason to believe it may be SRP's fault, please complain to me first and not the devs of that mod, as this mod makes some changes to SRP behind-the-scenes that might break functionality (the mixins I mentioned earlier). ### ESPECIALLY if the issue involves NoClassDefFound. That is a smoking gun. ### Try to reproduce it without this mod first. ### Seriously. If I hear that one of you annoyed them, I'll put a nidus in your attic. _Happy Hunting!_ ## Credits - Dhanantry and the others for Scape and Run: Parasites. - CreativeMD and the other devs of EnhancedVisuals for allowing me to use some greyscaling code - The Blockbench gradient tool for the textures - ExistingEevee for some of the JEI textures - The SRP community saying the mod was passable. - I wouldn't be here without you lot and your frankly worrying response to seeing a non-MCreator addon - _Let's be real I would be_ - Pecora for proving that the mod really was held together with duct tape and prayers (and moral support). I am sorry.
