Lethal Internship

Note from HR :
As you may or may not know, our great company suffers from this staggering inflation, costs are rising, and budget cuts are on the way.
But our dearest executives have found a solution to get the company back on track :

Interns !

Willing to work, cheap and plentiful, these workers will support you and make your work faster and more efficient.
Don't worry, they're not intended to replace you.
So don't hesitate to make use of them and together become

Great assets to the company

Cheap Interns and where to find them

These passionate workers are available in a new section of your shop.
Buy them in space or on the moon and they will be delivered to you like regular items with the dropship.

They do not return to the ship
In fact, they are not authorized to get too close to the ship and will drop the items near it,
you will then just need to pick up the objects and bring them back inside.

They always follow you
Or at least try to follow you, or another player.
The moons are not very welcoming and the interns may have (some) difficulties to navigate smoothly in those tricky areas.

They are fragile
But replaceable, less life points and can carry only one object at a time.
Be patient, they are learning, just like you not so long ago.

On a more serious note

This mod is very alpha and I still need to do a lot of polishing.
I'm just happy to share this project with you, in hope that you find it fun and enjoyable.

Things to add

• Voice lines, I still need to figure out how to implement all of this and find someone or use AI.
• Configurable things: health, number max, price, items to ignore, etc.
• Make the intern go inside the ship. Will take some time, it is not easy at the moment.
• More suits and animations (using the other mods)
• Orders, a system to control the interns in some way. Can take some time to implement that too.

For now

• Priority: compatibility with mods, and critical/major bugs

Fixed

• Fix softlock at end of game with a client (not host), thanks @Instaplayer on Discord

0.15.0 [Alpha] - 2024-08-19

Added

• Added a landing option for intern, should the dropship land intern on moons or keep them for later ? Type 'land' or 'abort' to change the option.
• Configurable parameters for the internship program. You can now configure :
  • The maximum of interns available to buy, from 1 to 32, default to 16
  • The price of one intern, from 0 to 200, default to 19
  • The maximum health of an intern, from 1 to 200, default to 51
  • The size of an intern, from 85% to 100% of player size, default to 85%
  • The names of the interns, choose between de default names "Intern #(number)", a list of random names of my own (mostly reddit actually), or your own list of names.
    
    You can configure the behaviour of an intern too :
  • Should the intern just teleport when using ladders ? default to false
  • Should the intern grab items near entrances (main and fire exits) ? default to true
  • Should the intern grab bees nets ? default to false
  • Should the intern grab dead bodies ? default to false
    
    All of those configs are synced with the host, that means that whatever config you have, if you are a client you will use the host's config. Not for the log debug stuff though, that's still client side.

Changed

• Raised default hp to 51, thanks @Ogryn named Finger, on discord for the suggestion
• Spawning from the dropship should be smoother
