EliteCreaturesReborn
Creatures spawn with mutations that change how they fight - fast, armoured, exploding, splitting, devouring. Rebuilt from scratch; tunable per biome.Elite Creatures Reborn
Creatures spawn with more stars and with mutations, named traits that change how a fight goes. Bosses take an aspect instead.
Features
- Mutations: fifteen, shown on the nameplate, such as Mad, Bloated, Devouring and Thieving.
- Difficulty: Easy to Extreme in one line; new biomes start gentle and cleared ones keep hardening.
- Stars: beyond vanilla's two, counted in fives; up to eight on Extreme.
- Boss aspects: one modifier per fight (Twin, Tethered, Bountiful and thirteen more), shown at the altar; harder ones pay more.
- World tiers: each boss's first defeat makes stars and mutations more common everywhere.
- Breeding: tamed creatures pass a mutation and stars on to their young.
- Loot: Vanilla, Scaled, Rolled or Curated drops, and drop rules per creature.
- Boss damage board: who hurt the boss and how much;
/damageshows it again. - Respawning: cleared camps, dungeons and dungeon chests can refill (off by default).
- Works with PackPanel, GrindstoneSkills' Husbandry and Elite Creatures Pack.
Install
Needed on the server and every client. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put
EliteCreaturesReborn.dll in BepInEx/plugins. Remove any other creature star mod and its configs first: this mod
reads neither.
Configuration
BepInEx/config/gglasgow.elitecreaturesreborn.cfg (each player's display) and BepInEx/config/creature_rules.yml
(the rules, an off switch per feature). Both apply without a restart; the server's rules bind every player. Console:
elite tier and damage for everyone, the other elite commands for admins. Every mutation, aspect, rule field and
command in detail: reference.
