What is Diversity?

Diversity is a mod that revamps few aspects of the game. Generally the entities itself.

What changed?

This is what Diversity revamps:

• Spiders
• Crawlers
• Bracken
• Centipede
• Dress girl
• The players

The Spiders & Crawlers

• Added brief slow with a few seconds cooldown to the Spiders and Crawlers when hitting them. (This was added to balance the rail cheese fix.)

The Bracken

• The Bracken will now stay true to his darkness. He will flicker and turn off all nearby lights and will dim player's flashlights if they're close to the Bracken.
• The lights turned off by the Bracken will naturally turn back on after a minute or 2.
• Trying to forcibly turn back on the lights with the breaker box could cause the Bracken to be angered for a while and causes fear. The power also becomes shut off permanently.
• The Bracken will turn off all nearby radar boosters.
• The Bracken will turn off the breaker box occasionally.
• Taking the apparatus will now immediately anger the Bracken, chasing the player who angered the Bracken.
• The Bracken now has a personal space.

The Dress girl

• She will haunt your walkie-talkie.
• She now has the ability to isolate you and to give you hallucinations.
• She has new voice lines.

The Centipedes

• You can now help your friends out whenever a centipede is latched onto their head by spamming the use button if you don't have a shovel.
• Trying to help free a centipede from a player's head could hurt you.

The Players

• Players will receive conditions such as broken leg, broken arm, bleeding, blindness, and concussions.
• Players will have true darkness when there are no lights inside, it is recommended to bring a flashlight.

Config

Mostly anything in this mod is configurable. If there's something you'd like to be able to configure and isn't there, either join the Discord server or contact me by email ([email protected]) and I'll make the changes on the next mod update!
