📋 About This Mod

The Desmodus has 3 patterns which are different colors of glow in the dark (lux) eyes. They barley need any space and like to live in large groups.

If you wish you can download the additional bat cave decoration. It contains like 30 perch points for the bats, they are able to land upside down on the roof of the cave or on the sides of the cave. It also makes a pretty neat decoration in general and dinosaurs/guests/vehicles are able to enter the cave. The only downside is that pterosaurs will also use the perch points on the cave if they have access to it, so don't use it in pterosaur enclosures unless you want to see them sitting inside the walls.

Also the bats sometimes phase through the cave when traveling to or from a perch point, unfortunately this is unfixable but also not quite a big deal.

The camera can phase through the cave on purpose so that you can get a good look at your bats.

The bats originally had fur but I had to remove it because I really wanted the glowing eyes and apparently you can't put lux on a creature with fur/feathers, just doesn't work.

Also I highly recommend using the Kaiodenic Skylight mod + Kai's Wee Toolbox with this mod.

Thanks for checking out this mod, hope you enjoy!

Requires Feathered Species Pack DLC

Update: Just uploaded a new version of the mod. Fixed the "Socializing" problem where bats would fly into each other for a few seconds. Also fixed the problem where all dinos would get stuck in an eating/drinking animation. Cave did not get updated, just the bat. If you discover the mod isn't compatible with another decoration mod then let me know so I can fix it. Thanks
