If you don't know how to XXX read this text! It has instructions!
Who is this for?
Have you grown tired of having to kill your own pets to take them with you to another places? Have you grown tired of your own pet attacking you? Or maybe you hate to find your pet jumping into holes for no reason?
Well, this mod is for you!
Features!
With this mod:
- Pets will have HP bars, which appear when they get hurt!
- Pets will teleport to owners under new conditions:
* when stuck to a wall
* when too far away vertically
* when it can't reach the owner by jumping
- Pets won't fall as often into holes on their own!
- Pets will follow owners into vertical mines!
- Pets can faint! If their HP goes below 1, instead of dropping a filled pod, they will drop a 'fainted' pod, which you must take to...
- Creature Revival Station! Drop a pod in front of it to bring your pet back to full health.
- Pets die too easily? This mod makes new captured pets automatically level-up once, so they are stronger than their wild versions!
- And as an extra, 'fainted' pods can be placed as furniture! Display your (fainted) pet collections!
Control your pets!
This mod also adds tools craftable at Capture Station that allow you to control your pets:
- ReCapturer: generates an impulse that forces a pet back to it's pod
- ReHealer: generates an impulse that heals a not-yet-fainted pet fully!
- ReObtainer: generates an impulse that makes a pet drop items it has collected
- ReSetter: generates an impulse that releases all tech discs from it
You read that right! This mod gives pets their own inventories!
Each pet will now have storage space for 5 stacks of items (extendable with discs)! Just like portable chests, pets retain their inventories when in pod form!
Pet abilities!
Starting with 1.8 there are pet tech discs for pets craftable at DNA Lab!
The DNA Lab can be crafted at, as always, Capture Station.
Tech discs available so far:
- B2 Infusion (light emission)
- Rubber Bones (jump power boost)
- Aerodynamics (run speed boost)
- Storage+ (15 more storage slots)
- Regeneration (constant healing)
- Skin Nanobots (heal back 30% damage)
- Nano-Thorns (melee attacker takes 20% damage)
- Luminal Stream (ignore all hits)
Drop a disc near the pet, it will be picked up by the pet.
Every pet can hold up to three discs at once.
Effects of the discs stack up! (two Storage+ discs give 30 storage slots for example)
Plans!
This mod used to allow pets to teleport to it's owner, but the feature has been added to the game. For now it's only for teleportation across the planet. In the future I plan to make the pets follow their owners between planets and spaceships.
