MoaiMod

Adds an Easter island Moai Statue to help kill your entire squad :)

This enemy spawns outside on any planet (for now), and has elemental variants to keep you on your toes.

Variants

Normal 

• Your average Moai. Chases down the player to give them a big hug. *
• Spawn Time: Day, Rarity: Common

Blue 

• Summons lightning in a range that gets more and more violent the closer he is.
• Do NOT mess with him.
• Spawn Time: Night, Rarity: Uncommon

Angel 

• An Angel moai will patrol around players, looking for enemies.
• These moai are identified by their shiny halo on their heads.
• Spawn Time: Any, Rarity: ???

Size 

• Moai have a 20% chance to be larger/smaller than usual.
• Could be minor, or so severe that you can see him from a mile away.
• Affects sfx pitch.

Special Behaviors

Consumption

• Moai need a lot of energy dragging their heavy bodies around, so they tend to get hungry.
• Moai may seek out very questionable items and devour them without a second thought.
• Devouring an object will turn the moai into an angel variant, for some time.

Guardian Mode

• Angel Moais charge and murder any threat it sees in order to protect the player.
• Angel Moais are sophisticated, refusing to eat any disgusting scrap/player.

There is no escape

• Moais may enter/exit the facility at any time.
• The closer a moai is to an entrance/exit, the more likely they will enter it.

The mod is configurable. You can set a moai's rarity, size, speed, and sound volume in the main menu.

Currently Planned Features:

• More Variants (Red Moai is currently broken, working on a purple variant?).
• Gold, and more are on the way!
• Unique sounds and better textures for each variant.
• Still fixing bugs, but things are getting pretty stable now.
• General asset/code cleanup and console logging fixes.
