Useful Pets [1.4.2] UPDATED, AGAIN!
Makes pets not suck! Or at least, suck a little less. 🙂
Make pets a little more useful and a little more durable, without making them overpowered or a replacement for crew members. This mod primarily introduces a few tweaks to the way the pet’s maximum health is scaled, as well as granting them a minor amount of health regeneration (which also scales) so you aren’t having to run to (or carry) a pet healing station between every fight.
If you’re playing on a server that isn’t running this mod, it should still work fine, but the inventory UI will still show your pet’s defence instead of its maximum hp. If you have access to /admin, you can verify this in /debug with the ~[Pet Stats] debug lines, or just watch your pet’s HP to see if it regenerates any hitpoints.
Full list of changes:-
– Pet’s health scales more aggressively with player’s bonus health from armour: petBaseHealth + (playerMaxHealth – 100) * 4
– Pets now have a small amount of health regeneration, based on the player’s bonus health from armour: (playerMaxHealth – 100) / 20
– Pets now always have a minimum amount of bonus health and regen, as if you had 10 bonus health.
– Damage Collar Augments I, II & III have all been buffed to +20%, +50% and +80% bonus damage (from +15%, +30% and +45%)
– Light Collar Augments have had their effect increased to level 2, identical to the EPP Light II Augment (from level 1)
– Player UI graphic changed to for pets to show "VIT" instead of "DEF"
– Player UI now shows the pet’s "Vitality" (max health) instead of defence (which is always the same as the player’s)
– Repair pet’s Capture Pod portrait by placing it into a Pet Tether.
Version 1.1 Fixes:-
– Pets will no longer have negative health regen if you have less than 100 HP, defaults to having regen as if you had 110HP as a minimum.
– Mod Priority has been set to -100, to avoid replacing UI mods. This may cause issues if you use any other pet mods however.
Version 1.4.2 Fixes:-
– Capturing pets works again!
– BONUS: Broken portraits on a pet’s Capture Pod can now be repaired by putting them into a Pet Tether. (Original code from Frackin Universe)
