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.

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

    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.
