This mod aims to make the Astrocetus more viable of a proper, usable critter for PvE. As such, everything I’ve done to Astrocetus here may not be balanced for PvP, so fair warning. Movement speed was not adjusted, as Astrocetus is actually very fast when it reaches full speed.
First off: This mod does not replace Astrocetus. Please put this code in your Game.INI to allow the mod to function properly:
NPCReplacements=(FromClassName="SpaceWhale_Character_BP_C",ToClassName="Spacewhale_Character_BP_Shad_C")
Now, on to my actual changes with Astrocetus. They are listed here below!:
-Can now breed, with gestation like any other mammal.
-Reduces the weight of Ambergris in inventory & grants it a 25x preservation multiplier
-Bite’s damage increased from 29 to 69 & can be used while moving, can be used all the time, even with "insufficient stamina". No longer breaks up to stone structures. Bite’s massive stamina cost has also been drastically reduced to be a proper “spamable” attack.
-Right click tail whip stamina cost adjusted, damage increased from 60-ish to 115. Now has the same damage type as tamed giga, damaging up to stone.
-Being able to breed- and thus get Melee Mutations- I have drastically decreased the base damage of Astrocetus’s bombs, from 775 to 195 (about 1/4th, may further nerf)
-Increased hitboxes for tail and bite attacks
-Bomb crafting time increased from 20 sec to 35 sec
-Turned Hyperdrive into an ACTUAL Hyperdrive, with over 4X THE VANILLA DISTANCE, the aiming particle just beyond your render distance. However, i have also increased the cooldown from 10 seconds to a staggering 60 for balance.
-Added aesthetic roar to X and added unused eating, torpor, and cuddle anims. Also added unused spinning/twirling animations to Left Control for more mesmerizing aesthetic fun.
-Increased swim speed significantly
