Needy Cats v1.0.2

You like cats? The company likes cats too! Find them roaming the various abandoned facilities and bring them home*!

Ever wanted to bring felines into Lethal Company? It is now possible with this mod! You will see cats that roam around, meow (loudly, be careful!) and sit down when they feel safe.
Make sure to pet them regularly, otherwise they may attract unwanted guests with their noise.

The spawn rate of cats is configurable (default to 20) and the host can change names.txt to modify the pool of available cat names.

Known issues

• Picking up and dropping a cat during the takeoff or landing phase may leave them stuck in place and possibly lost forever.
• Some screen effects make the cats see through.

Credits

• 1 (@oneVRdev) for giving me the idea for the mod.

• The Society for helping me test this mod.

• Cat model, textures and animations by RedDeer3D on the asset store.

v1.2.1

• Fixed cats not respecting the "Chance of cats fleeing dogs" setting, it should now work properly.

v1.2.0

• Added cat food! It can be purchased for 5 credits at the terminal and, if open and on the ground, will feed any number of cats within a few meters for 12 hours! It has two possible effects, selectable in the mod's config:
  • Delay the cats meows by a substantial amount, default, recommended for multiplayer as you'll still need someone to pet them regularly
  • Silence the cats meows for the entire 12 hours duration, recommended for solo play
• Added a chance for the cats to flee if being attacked by dogs, the percentage of chance is by default 10% every 2.5 seconds, you can configure the chance percentage in the mod's config.
• Slightly buffed the decorations meow timer bonus
• Cats no longer flee from boomboxes or the dropship
• Cats will now meow faster if they were just fleeing
• Fixed a bug where cats wouldn't refresh the AI nodes on level load (caused issues with the fleeing behaviour)
• Fixed cats not appearing on LLL custom moons
• Fixed cats SFX not having correct audio mixer

v1.1.0

• Cat names have been moved to the mod's config, albeit less readable, it allows for easier sharing with profile codes

  • Read more about the cat names changes including a list of the possible fur colors here
• Cats have been tweaked to be a bit less needy:

• Cats will now meow slightly more quietly (according to the dogs) if they are in the ship
• Fixed a bug where cats would not sit in the ship for some players
• Fixed a bug where cats would not appear on custom moons created using LethalExpansion (thanks broiiler for reporting the issue)
