📋 About This Mod

Introduction

This mod modifies the AI of Commonwealth creatures by adding new combat behaviors. The changes include solo and pack behaviors. This mod aims to make creatures stronger in combat without modifying their base statistics to avoid turning them into bullet sponges or enemies that kill you with a single hit.

The behavior changes are implemented through scripts, and I'm trying to make them as non-invasive as possible to avoid compatibility issues with other mods. It's still a work in progress, but ideally, I'd like to release updates every 1 or 2 weeks to address bugs or alter the way scripts are integrated in case they impact performance.

Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) and Options Holotape

The AIs of each creature can be independently enabled or disabled using MCM or the Configuration Holotape (added upon installing the mod or can be crafted at chemistry stations). If you experience any bugs or crashes during a mission or anywhere else, you can deactivate the AI from the settings. AIs are only loaded upon initiating combat.

    []While the legendary Radstag or Legendary Radstags are alive, they will constantly motivate the pack, increasing their health regeneration rate.

    []When the Radstags enter the phase of keeping their distance from the player, they will start charging randomly. Each charge has a high chance of knocking you down. The more damaged body parts you have, the higher the probability of being knocked down.

    []Legendary Radstags have a higher chance of knocking you down both with regular attacks and charges.

    2 - RadRoach

    []Radroaches are never alone; when you initiate combat, more of them will always emerge from the ground.

    []If there are legendary Radroaches, the number of Radroaches emerging from the ground will be higher.

    []When a Radroach dies, it will be devoured by its companions.

    []Devouring Radroaches will strengthen them. By gaining strength, they absorb a l
