I have a question, are minions supposed to be able to damage the drillcart, deconstructor and paver? Did some testing and even with Abigails flower she damages it just by moving past it even if not actively attacking it. Though the Yarn ball minion from the thorium mod seems especially murdery towards it even with carts are critters turned on. Am I missing something?

sounds like a really cool mod.but i cant figure out how to obtain life essence

It's been awhile since I last played with this mod, and I can't remember how you get life essence. I've been playing with some friends and we recently got to hardmode and we still haven't seen a single one.

Oops, now the paver left the map. Lol.
Mickmane Aug 15, 2023 @ 3:05am 
Hi again. :)

Now I want the Paver to lay tracks in space. I Remembered the setting and made it a critter. My minions still seem to want to kill it.

It's protected from that, but it's a bit odd. Most of my minions are modded btw, from those two mods:

Assorted Crazy Things:

Especially the Bomb Buddy makes it sound like the Paver has engine troubles. :))

Just wanted to let you know. Not sure if you want to do anything about it.

that was not intended. released an update that adds that critter companionship option and fixed that placing the wrong platform thing
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 1:11pm 
I finally found the golfer and am playing with the block mower. (Rotfl, it's great! :) ) It places wood platform, though I have ashwood platform in my inventory. Is that intendet?
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 12:14pm 
Thank you! :)
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Aug 9, 2023 @ 12:14pm 
oh that makes sense. ill see what i can do
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 11:36am 
Could you add an option to exclude the mod's carts from the Critter Companionship Guide? :)
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 10:47am 
Closed the whole game and started again, and now I can kill them. :)
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 10:44am 
My minions already tried to kill the first I placed, the paver, and it was immune. Hm, let me check whether critter protection is to blame....

I put the Guide to Critter Companionship into a chest, saved and restarted, all three carts still stay at 30/30. Maybe some other mod is to blame.

Seems I can't kill bunnies and penguins either, will investigate further. :)
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Aug 9, 2023 @ 10:26am 
not sure what you mean by the drillcart is unkillable, I can kill it just fine. it is intentionally immune to falling blocks and traps if thats the issue. you are intended to stop it by attacking it (it will drop itself and remaining fuel and drills). it is possible that it is inside sand blocks preventing anything from hitting it
PaoDeAlhoHmmm Aug 9, 2023 @ 7:07am 
Thank you for the 1.4.4! :steamhappy:
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 6:58am 
Seems unkillable, btw. It stopped drilling upon world save exit and restart, but it's still sitting there, threatening to roll on and right into the sand under the ocean.
Mickmane Aug 9, 2023 @ 6:51am 
This is great fun! Planted some bushed, will fill a pond with fish, am now trying the drillcarts.

Help! How do I stop the drillcart? :))

I think it would be fun to make fish mating randomly really rare but if you throw specific alchemy ingredients, item versions of fish, and dye plants the fish could eat them to bred instantly.
each fish would want a different food to do it.
Cephalon Sithalo Apr 21, 2023 @ 11:39pm 
Thank you! I wasnt aware it was a critter. I accidently hit it while trying to clear a wall and it turned around so I figured it out but thanks for letting me know.
Just wish it didnt kill me or steal the resources I put in it but it worked out in the end and is getting use lol
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Apr 21, 2023 @ 9:33pm 
oh yeah critters are always released facing left, you can make a bumper track on the left side to change its direction when it starts moving and hits it
Cephalon Sithalo Apr 21, 2023 @ 9:01pm 
Is there a way to tell the Paver which direction to go? Mine always seems to go left lol
BOT Rogerio Apr 8, 2023 @ 4:25am 
You could had made the drills having more HP for don't die on the first silt block on their way or make they only be able to die with pickaxes like the turrets from calamity , really , those drills sound a paradise to clean the world but you rage when they find a silt block

god tier mod easily, cant believe this doesnt get infinite praise
countlessCritters Feb 18, 2023 @ 7:50pm 
Oysters are doing it too, but I don't think they were earlier? I should note I'm playing multiplayer and this might somehow be because of that.
countlessCritters Feb 18, 2023 @ 7:43pm 
Are the obsidifish (and maybe other fish, haven't tested yet) supposed to deal contact damage? Also, would it be possible to make summons not try to attack them?
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Feb 10, 2023 @ 10:29pm 
The max amount of npcs that can exist in the world is hardcoded at 200. changing this would require an enormous amount of effort as i would need to change the conditions of every for loop in the vanilla game's code.
BeardedLady Feb 10, 2023 @ 7:12pm 
Is there a hard cap on how many fish you can have in your world in total? Not even the same type.
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Jan 28, 2023 @ 5:07pm 
ill look into those bugs. the multiplayer one might be a bit hard to pinpoint a cause and fix for
Scryie Jan 28, 2023 @ 6:00am 
I think fish despawn if you leave the area in multiplayer
Cuz i did a test and my frost dagger fishes just disappeared

Also fish on the edge of the map also despawn if they go out of the world

Can you perhaps fix these two bugs
nifer001 Jan 15, 2023 @ 10:06am 
how do you get life essence
Shipmans AGLA  [author] Jan 7, 2023 @ 9:08am 
yes, there most fish cannot breed if more that 15 of the same type are in the area. a couple have different limits.
tinitea. Jan 7, 2023 @ 1:04am 
Oh wow, what a brilliant mod!

Is there any special code that limits the fish population?

Like...limiting the # of time parents can reproduce...direct siblings can't reproduce...something along these lines?

Cheers
