Leviathan Coast - Mecha Invasion

Description
Feel like Leviathan Coast needs more relevance? well here you go.

- This mod only enhances the Levi coast and nothing else.
- This mod does not cause unnaturally excessive spawn rates.
- I test every little tweak I make to make sure any addition is completely balanced and doesn't effect any vanilla gameplay elements.

Parts of the Coast are littered with dead robots and old legion buildings by default - so it is Lore friendly to assume some could still be Operational.

This Mod makes Leviathan coast a proper end game location.
I always felt like each corner of the map should be special and with this, LC is.

What the Mod does -

Adds radiant spawns to the LC for :

- Cleanser Units
- (Weaker type) Rusty Crimpers (1 to 2 can spawn together)

and

- Rarely , an appearance from 'special' blood spider swarms , made up of a Queen mini-boss with 2-4 Royal guards as well as a varied amount of little minions.
The animation timings , weapon reaches, and turning rates of the larger spiders have been tweaked to make them look correct while moving and to have distinctly different characteristics compared to the smaller spiders.

The queen has eaten some nearby mechanical stuiff which gives her improved loot over her smaller family members.
I added the spiders for a balanced Organic predator - they get munched by Leviathans regardless of how many there are.

The Rusty Crimpers are difficult , you'll need about 5 badasses to kill 1 in a head on fight - so if you see a couple , use your massive brains - kite with crossbows, lead them to harpoons , whatever floats your boat.

Recently buffed loot - to make them more comparable to Cleansers - I didn't like how they were 30x harder and gave less loot.

Each Rusty Crimper will drop
- 5x CPU Units
- 2x Robotic Component
- 3x Armour plating
- 1x Capacitor
- 3x Copper Alloy Plate
- 1x Motor

Which makes Hunting them feel worth the effort.
Their combat effectivness has been re-balanced (25/08/2022), they are slightly easier now.

This mod also tweaks the Tech Hunters which naturally spawn in Levi Coast - giving them a moderate boost in gear quality and greater variation on combat stats.

This tweak makes the Tech Hunters put up some fight (but not enough) , the Hunters still don't stand a chance.
Rusty Crimpers have 300-400 strength and attack quite fast.

I recommend these 3 mods to liven up the Coast even more -

Skeleton Invasion

New Mist Ghoul Race
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1877448247&searchtext=mist

Strong Beaker Things
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140742609&searchtext=beak

Leviathan Coast becomes a diverse warzone with very good high end loot.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2693953390&searchtext=mist < adds sellable head items to defeated Ghouls.

So people can see - If you encounter weird spawns - it's not because of this Mod - it's because something like Genesis or UWE is using this mod data in a weird way. Below is a link to show Only Leviathan Coast is effected.

@DiscoDream , I've shot a lot of them without a hitbox fix, might be to do with your character skill levels - my squad has high perception, Crossbow etc, and the spiders have a dodge value

But it's nice to know there's a spider hitbox fix, though it's fairly minor - but if that helps hitting at a lower level then that's good to know :steamhappy:

I'm not sure if it's from this mod or a vanilla issue, but shooting at the blood guard with a crossbow was getting almost constant misses. Installing "Adjusted Spider Hitbox" by Lucius saw my shots landing.

Potentially yeah
the thing is I never had an issue

I made this change now, I've ran over to Blister hill with my main character , I see no crimpers - I even resubbed to my own mod to double check

oh. So that was the cause of the bug. Great. Let's try again. Maybe this time it works for sure with UWE
EchoSON  [author] Jul 4, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
The 'wrong' version which was downloading alongside this shouldn't appear anymore

If anyone still has 2 versions - or the wrong version - then let me know

Thank you NiceDice

Yeah there are 2 files (I never knew why it did that)
but one has a description and the other doesn't - the one 'with' a description is the mod

the other file is... idk wtf it is XD

There's no conflicts with other mods. The mod works correctly, but it's uploaded with the bug. When you click the button "subscribe" you get the folder with two .mod-files: "Levi.mod" and "Levi .mod"(with the space in front of dot). One of these files spawns hordes of Crimpers which sweep away the Holy Nation (I should say there's some aestetic satisfaction looking at revenge of Narco:) ). But the other file works properly. Unfortunately i don't remeber the correct one. To solve the problem the user should install this mod by his own hands using explanation in \steamapps\common\Kenshi\mods\ folder, rename the mod-folder the same as one of these .mod-files, and finally unsubscribe of the mod to prevent unexpected updates. The mod is cool, have a pleasant game everyone.

Just spent an hour running around and I didn't encounter 1 Rusty Crimper , not even in Leviathan Coast , that's how rare they are suppose to be

Did almost get a bunch of my people killed by a Royal Blood Spider Queen though

10/10 Mod, would sub >.>

Jokes aside, my mod is fine lmao , it's some other conflict which I can do nothing about
EchoSON  [author] Sep 30, 2023 @ 11:09am 
yeah guys, I have no clue why they'd be in HN areas , when none of the Holy Nation areas have had their data changed :')

Please tell me if you've got some other mods installed such as Genesis, RW etc
and whether this mod is TOP of your load order or not...

In my game this doesn't happen
and this mod is top of my load order

Roll of the dice whether my boys can make it to the armor king now thanks to radical crimpers out for blood in the holy nation.
