Hoarding Bug Towers

A Server-side BepInEx mod for Lethal Company. While close to their nests, hoarding bugs can commonly form a two-bug tower; a rare three-bug tower may occur briefly. They can even walk around and work together.

When at least three bugs bunch together near their nest, the chance of stacking rises sharply and the towers only last a few seconds. This gives them a bit more character when you meet them at their nest. The crowd threshold, range, chance, and duration are all configurable under Crowded nest options.

Upper bugs smoothly follow the lower bug and smoothly dismount onto the NavMesh; both timings are configurable under General. Dismounts first move to a random nearby side before descending, while aggroed bugs receive a small upward nudge and attack from their elevated position.

The mod also replaces the hoarding bug Terminal bestiary entry with additional content.
