README
Light Eater
The Light Eater is a roaming entity that feeds on energy, consuming light sources and plunging the environment into darkness.
Energy Seeking
Description
- The Light Eater instinctively moves toward active light sources.
- It absorbs energy from:
- Dungeon Lights
- Landmines
- Turrets
- Any grabbable object with an energy source
- Energy-based enemy (Old Bird by default ; new ones can be added via configs)
- If an energy-based enemy is detected, it becomes the priority target (unless already chasing a player or absorbing a light).
- Absorbed enemies are instantly killed.
- After a configurable hour, it can target the ship, draining its power and disabling some functionalities.
Player Interaction
Description
Charged State
- When sufficiently charged, the Light Eater can release a light detonation:
- Players or enemies in direct line of sight are blinded.
- They also receive the LIGHTNING status effect.
- LIGHTNING status effect:
- Can affect player and enemies.
- Triggers an explosion halfway through the total duration and at the end:
- Only affects players and enemies who are neither the target of the effect nor the one who cast it.
- Deals 10 damage to nearby players and 1 damage to nearby enemies.
- Applies the status effect to nearby players and enemies if they don't already have it.
- Deals 10 damage over 10 seconds by default.
Low Charge Behavior
- If not fully charged:
- The Light Eater continues absorbing energy while chasing.
- Any energy source crossed will be drained.
Countering the Light Eater
Description
Core Mechanic
- The Light Eater is always vulnerable to damage
- However, if it has any stored charge:
- It will explode when hit.
- All stored energy is lost.
Explosion Effects
- Direct line of sight causes blindness to players or enemies.
- If charge exceeds 100:
- Applies LIGHTNING status effect in addition.
The Deluminator
Description
Defeating the Light Eater grants a unique item: The Deluminator.
Energy Absorption
- Can absorb energy from:
- Lights
- Landmines
- Turrets
- Any grabbable object with an energy source
- Energy-based enemies
- Absorbing enemies:
- Takes longer
- Alerts them, causing them to attack
Charge System
- Absorbed energy is converted into charges.
- At 100 charges:
- Can release a light detonation.
- Causes blindness + LIGHTNING (line of sight) to players and enemies.
Restrictions
- Can only be used during an active run (when the ship is landed).

CHANGELOG
CHANGELOG
Version 1.1.1
- Updated for v81
Version 1.1.0
- Updated for LegaFusionCore v1.0.8
- Changes to the Light Eater:
- No longer has invulnerability
- When it takes damage while holding a charge, it explodes and loses all its charges (blinding nearby players or enemies in its LOS and applying the LIGHTNING status effect if it had enough charges)
- When it attacks with its detonation, it blinds and inflicts the LIGHTNING status effect on nearby players or enemies in its LOS
- Changes to the Deluminator:
- Can no longer absorb the ship
- Change to light release: rather than returning it to nearby sources, at 100 charges the Deluminator can create a detonation that blinds and inflicts the LIGHTNING status effect on nearby players or enemies in LOS
Version 1.0.9
- Updated to v73
Version 1.0.8
- Game version update
Version 1.0.7
- Fixed an issue from the last update where the Deluminator's charge count wasn't correctly updated after recharging the ship
Version 1.0.6
- Added a config option to enable/disable the Deluminator
- The Deluminator can now absorb an object even if its charge amount would exceed the max limit — only the necessary charges to reach the max will be taken
- Added a glowing effect to the Light Eater when it enters overcharge
- Modified how the Zap Gun gives charges to the Light Eater — charges are now applied progressively during shocking instead of all at once at the end (this allows players to notice when the Light Eater enters overcharge mid-shock)
- The Zap Gun now gives 40 charges per second (meaning it takes 5 seconds to overcharge the Light Eater from 0 charges)
Version 1.0.5
- Fixed a bug where the Light Eater could continue absorbing the ship even after takeoff
- Removed the global rarity config
- Added a new config to adjust rarity based on moon or tag
- Introduced a new item: the Deluminator
Version 1.0.4
- Some refactoring
- Fixed an issue that allowed the Light Eater to absorb the ship's energy from a long distance
- Fixed errors that occurred during Stormy Weather
- Fixed an issue that forced the ship's door to close during takeoff
- Fixed a bug that made all Light Eaters vulnerable after defeating one
- When hunting for a player (outside of a chase), the Light Eater couldn't take any of the dungeon's entrances/exits
- The Light Eater can now absorb items from BeltBags
- Added a bestiary entry for the Light Eater
Version 1.0.3
- Added ability to kill the Light Eater:
- Once the Light Eater exceeds 200 charges, it stops absorbing energy and actively seeks the nearest player
- If it attempts to explode while overcharged, it becomes stunned for 5 seconds instead of detonating
- During the stun, the Light Eater is vulnerable, with 10 HP
- After the stun ends, it resets to 200 charges (the equivalent of two stun explosions)
- If killed, it plays a death animation and explodes 4 seconds later like a landmine
- Added the ability to shock the Light Eater with the Zap Gun:
- While shocked, the Light Eater is slowed to half its speed while chasing and cannot absorb the Zap Gun
- Releasing the shock grants it a charge boost, 0.8 seconds of shock = +25 charges
Version 1.0.2
- Attempted fix for some NREs
- Fixed Light Eater's stun affecting all players
- Reduced Light Eater's spawn chance
- Charge value changed -> no longer a decimal, Light Eater now explodes at 100
- Adjusted charge values gained per absorption
- Changed the maximum number of Light Eaters per game from 3 to 1
- Light Eater can now absorb mines and turrets
- Light Eater can now absorb any configured enemy
- Default enemies that can be absorbed: Old Bird, Boomba, Cleaning Drone, Mobile Turret and Shockwave Drone
- Light Eater can now absorb the ship
- Light Eater can now attract lightning
Version 1.0.1
- Fixed an error displayed by PathfindingLagFix
- Added delay before the Light Eater teleports through an entrance when following a chasing player
Version 1.0.0
- Initial release
