  What is this?

  • []This mod adds a number of persistent wandering Reaper Leviathans.

    []They are persistent in the sense that, once they are de-spawned within the game, the mod simulates their movement on the world map.

    []Once the player gets close enough to a simulated persistent reaper, the mod will spawn the reaper into its simulated position.

    []The locations of the persistent reapers can be visualized by using the "Print Reaper Map to File" button.

    Why might I want this?

    • []If you want to add more terror into your gameplay experience

      []If you want to make the game more unpredictable

      []If you think Reaper Leviathans should exist everywhere (except beyond the crater edge)

      []If you just like Reaper Leviathans!

      Options:

      • []Toggle Persistent Reapers: enable or disable the persistent reapers

        []Number of Persistent Reapers: change the number of persistent reapers across the whole map. See ReaperNumber

        []Persistent Reaper Behavior: see Behavior

        []Scent Lifetime (seconds): see Human-Hunter

        []Depth Map: optionally disallow reapers from entering shallow areas

        []Reaper Update Interval (seconds): Optionally make reapers update less frequently, to save on performance.

        []Print Reaper Map to File: print an ascii map of persistent reaper locations to a file in the mod directory

        ReaperNumber:

        • []The default value is 50 persistent reapers. This makes for 1 reaper per area about the size of a mushroom forest.

          []You can print the reaper map to visualize a reaper density that's good for you.

          Behavior:

          • []Normal: unchanged from vanilla

            []Bloodthirsty: Reapers are hungrier and more aggressive

            []HumanHunter: see Human-Hunter

            Human-Hunter:

            • []The player leaves behind a trail anywhere they go. The trail expires seconds after being drawn. If a persistent reaper (simulated or not) happens to find the trail, they will follow it until the trail runs cold.

              []If a persistent reaper sees or hears the player, it will lock onto the player. Once locked on, a persistent reaper will not easily be shaken.

            • These reapers are only interested in the player, and will not target any other creature.
