Mirelurk Young

This simple mod adds mirelurk hatchlings to the game that function in much the same way as they do in Fallout 4. Approaching a mirelurk egg clutch will give a chance for hatchlings to burst out. The hatchlings are not tough, but do pack a nasty bite.

Each mirelurk egg clutch has a chance of spawning up to three hatchling eggs. The chance of a given hatchling egg spawning a hatchling depends on the player's luck and sneaking status.

The eggs can be destroyed. If an egg is destroyed before a hatchling emerges, then no hatchling will spawn from that egg.

Compatibility ----------------

The mod adds a script to the mirelurk egg clutch containers of the base game. If you are using any other mods that add a script to these containers, then a mod conflict will arise.

I have checked to ensure that the Anchorage War Memorial stage of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest is not affected by these changes.

Requirements ----------------

There are two files: 'Mirelurk Young' just requires the base fallout3.esm; 'Mirelurk Young incl. Point Lookout' also requires Point Lookout. Choose one or the other.

Installation -------------

Unpack the zip file and copy the contents to the relevant folders within your data folder.

Known Issues ---------------

• The eggs can be destroyed, but hitting them with guns or melee seems to be almost impossible, probably because of interaction with the collision box of
• the clutch models. They can be easily destroyed with explosives, however

- The eggs cannot be targeted in VATS. They should be, but it doesn't work and I have no idea why not.
