📋 About This Mod
An attempt to make Wasteland fauna behaviour more various, natural and interesting.
Features:
- Original game tends to put all creatures as enemies, reducing all in a matter of weak or strong encounter. I felt it unrealistic and (especially concerning animals) really, really boring. So all creatures now have an own "aggro radius behaviour" and different reactions in base of their AI if radius is violated. It could be better described as a "reaction radius": the weak (prey) runs, the strong (predator) attacks. Some examples: Mole Rats runs; insects will only attack if bothered or attacked; predators like Yao Guai will hunt on sight.
- All creatures have now a neutral alignment: this is mostly to state that only humans have the will to be evil.
- Leveled lists are modified as well as the encounter parameters; now we will meet the most dangerous creatures from the beginning. Facing a YaoGuai at level 3 with a 10mm pistol and survive is not easy, but absolutely possible... and challenging.
- I guess this stuff works better with mods that overhauls food in the game (I use Arwen Tweaks), so that you can chose to hunt and kill creatures for nourishment.
- A dedicated merged patch for creatures is recommended if you use other creature mods that modify the Leveled Lists
