Scavolution

Description
Scavenger Evolution

Scavolution is a mod which allows you to upgrade your scavengers by giving them certain items. Scavengers now have a new goal to deposit certain items in dens. After a sucessful deposit (or if the cycle ends with the item in their hand), the scavenger will evolve into a new varient. Scavengers will express there gratitude by becoming friendly towards you after helping them evolve. You can use this to obtain items usually unobtainable or very hard to obtain for most Slugcats.

Requires DLC (Either MSC or The Watcher)

Scavenger Juniors
Young curious scavengers, they wear scarfs and throw boomerangs.
1-2 Juniors will spawn after a scavenger successfully evolves

Unlike adult scavengers who have a strict working policy among the day, Juniors don't join hunting squads or tolls. Instead they walk in the direction of they attempt to group with their parent and follow them around.

Scavengers will adopt Juniors they find If they don't have a parent. Once adopted Scavengers will be aggressive towards anything that threatens their children. They will backpack Juniors when they are scared and don't take kindly to random grabbing.

After you have personally befriended the junior, you can adopt them by picking them up and backpacking them. If nearby scavengers don't become aggressive that's the sign you're allowed to adopt them.

Scavenge Juniors are compatible with Not Slugcat Playables

RoadMap (❓ = Unimplemented ✅ = Implemented )
  • ✅ Evolving/Upgrading Scavengers.
  • ✅ ❓ ❓ Add new Scavenger varients through evolution.
    I have a couple of good scavenger Ideas, I’ll leave the names of two them here, try to guess what they do 😉:
    Scavenger Junior, Braided Scavenger, Imperial Scavenger.
  • ❓ New passage: The Innovator
  • ❓ Revive Scavengers? Possibly with Templar magic?
  • ❓ New Echo in Garbage Wastes?
  • ❓ Legendary Scavengers that would appear after evolving a large amount of scavengers in a region.

Incompatibilities
Likely RainMeadow because it messes around how scavengers are saved.

@Piss The Spiders Idea is something I want to work on after this mod. I'm currently working on a whole new Scavenger Variant but tameable spiders seem like a cool Idea and It shouldn't be that hard to implement at all.

@Piss

Thanks for the report, I'm currently trying to fix these issues. Juniors are pretty complex creatures, so it's hard to account for most of these edgecases.

I'll try to figure out a quick fix for scavenger juniors in an upcoming update.
