Not sure why, but the infestation has spawned on my grid. I haven't connected it to any other grids either.

Thats not a problem

missing resource (set to null)

Textures\FactionLogo\BotsIcon.dds

Not just compatible it is necessary

Is this compatible with the Modular Encounters System and it's addons?

No it's terrible enough 😂

can u make a xenomorph mod?

Have a look at th guide there's some configuration stuff that might help https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855484333

how do i force them into a ship? cause i want to infest a downed // destroyed grid i made
but i cant

[One Error, Infestation Enabled] ?

Really like the mod, but it changes all lights on the grid to green. Would be cool if that was configurable, for now I have to disable it. Dont want my grid to be all green!

May have discovered a bug then. Seems like they've infected my grid on a new world. Still building out a starter base and have definitely not connected to any other grid. I'd be happy to provide logs if they'd be helpful. Please let me know if you'd like me to do that.

They spawn on NPC grids but can infect your ship if connected

Do they only spawn on NPC ships or do they also spawn on your own grids too?

Resource not found, setting to null. Resource path:workshop\content\244850\2809500674\Textures\FactionLogo\BotsIcon.dds

one day I'll finish that one

we need the stargate replicators

I've been working on a replicator model but it's been a low priority project

A version with replicators (less... 'spiders') and I'd install it!

Should only be one or two that sounds like a "bug"

the spiders take thousands of bullets. fuuuck that

I really like the idea of this mod but I don't care for the player friendly bots, is there a way to keep this mod without the bots ai dependent uses

I really like this mod, but I need a chat command to chance the spawn % chance, 20% is WAY to much. Almost all ships, trade ships and even stations! Are all being infestation and disabled, and then crashing

@Chipstix213 Where did you come from lmao, Yeah I agree.

I should really finish that....

Is there a version of this that uses Replicators from stargate?

You "burn them all" I think

how does one remove an infestation from a ship

don't have to enable that, last I checked... just connect your grid to the infested one... and you will get the infestation... the little bug-gers get through the conveyor system

How can I enable to infest player grids as well?

Meh, I really like the idea here, but had to disable it, it is way to inconsistent, doesn't persist the infestation after reloading, so after playing for like 10 hours, you will have like 6 to 20 ships just floating around, where none of them are infested anymore...

When I started this play, first neutral base I found was infested, was a good thrill to savage some stuff and run away, but second time I went back there, they were gone, that just kill the vibe. Same for the ships, we would have to have some kind of different control when they spawn on ships, its is cool to see them from time to time just floating like dead ship, but then you board and it is empty...

Yah, please, same issue from BadDaddy,

it is not really an issue at first, some ships will spawn near by and freeze there like some fault functional or infestation that killed everyone and damaged the ship, which is cool, but after a while, you start to have tons of ships just floating around... I think this is only a chance problem, maybe reducing it a little bit.

or we could add something like, after deciding if it should spawn an infestation or not, than it would have more like 80% chance of spawning it as "sleeping or growing state" so they just hang in there for like 10 minutes, so if the ship get despawn then nothing happens, and we still have 20% chance over the initially 25% to still damage the ship and freeze or crash it

Can you put a Block blacklist in the config please - spawns are attacking new NPC controller blocks in ships from other mods uncontrollably, freezing ships in air around the 5k distance till they run out of fuel - they attack this first and fail to attack other blocks after doing so as well (yes the spawn ratio is turned down) It would allow for different outcomes as well anyway...
Please, Thank you and ta : )

Before you copy the grid ensure keep original owner is enabled

So if we made something, set it to NPC ownership, that is then eligible for infestation, so can we paste things under npc ownership directly or does it then paste it under our ownership? I actually don't know here.
Assuming we can paste it as an npc ship we then just have to paste it enough times that it spawns infested right?
Can someone confirm if we can do this?

Jesus this mod scared the crap out of me today.

So I recently built myself a ship grinder as a derelict had come floating into my system and I decided fuck it I want all that scrap for my asteroid base. Where the jumpscare comes in is that I forgot to check the ship to see if it was bloody infested, so after I grind up the ship and head back to my base to deposit everything via the conveyors, these things start to flood my base a few moments later, sending me into a right panic.

Definitely going to be more wary now, so thanks for that.

Thank you very much super cool!!! :)

@Void, any ship in the game, or spawned by the game, which is owned entirely by an NPC faction, is eligible to spawn an infestation. I'm not sure if the small spiders will fit in the Willis Ducts, but you don't need to add anything -- this mod already uses the small spiders for everything.

@Jason Goodrich, this mod is compatible with Sketan's alien mod, as well as the Babylon 5 Shadows mod, and every other "spider" mod I've seen.

@Omni, yep, this will work with any MES mod.

@Dying Dark Star, have I got news for you...

it would be interesting and cool feature if you weren't careful your ship can get infected.

this seems like it will work well with some of the MES wreck and abandoned base mods

Void excellent idea, did you know there is also an alien mod by Sektan, I Hope these two can be compatible so much. then we will only need acid blood, eggs and facehuggers :). been waiting for this for so long

@Patrick, I love your mod, but with the new update I was wondering if it were possible to infect a custom ship? Eg I build a ship then somehow cause spiders to spawn on it
With the new wills ducts I was wanting to add the small spiders mod and have a infestation, and have them run around in the ducts

I get an error for a missing texture/faction icon. is this something that was removed? The missing icon in question is \Textures\FactionLogo\BotsIcon.dds.

They shouldn't be. If it's happens consistently, please go to the Discord and file a bug report.

too bad this doesn't come with a flamethrower. but seriously, the tiny spiders are immune to grinders. idk if its SE's fault or the mod though

yup he used to be a space engineer! lol

Haha, that was great! I didn't know Joey used to be a space adventurer, too!

this mod is amazing 10/10 love, if your not sure whether you love this mod or not, watch the live action version here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9QM6NyOYY

what have you done true

I sense i have made a grave mistake.
