Locusts for all
Allows all classes to be able to use the tuning spear to tame multiple locusts and offer more tweaks
Description
<h1><strong>Build your locust army NOW!</strong></h1> <p><strong><br /></strong>In vanilla Vintage Story, only the Clockmaker class can use the tuning spear to tame locusts. This mod has an option that removes that restriction and allows all classes to use the tuning spear (or optionally any regular spear) for taming locusts. This is turned on by default.<br /><br />The mod also automatically allows multiple locusts to be hacked by using the tuning spear (or any other spear, if enabled). The mod prevents hacked locusts from attacking each other.<br /><br />Allows to pick up and release hacked locusts with a tuning spear (or a normal spear, if enabled).<br /><br />This mod also adds 3 new tiers of hacked locusts to the game (tainted, malignant, nightmare) which can be obtained by upgrading an existing locust.<br /><br />The mod can be modified to your liking by editing the configuration.</p> <h2>Controlling & Handling locusts</h2> <p><br />Locusts can be tricky to orchestrate around, but you can use these techniques:</p> <p>1. Right-click on a locust toggles the waiting / following state.<br /> - Waiting: In this state, the locust will try to find a spot to stop and then just sits there. Even when enemies are around, the locust doesn't do anything.<br /> - Following: The locust will try to follow you. In this state, the locust will automatically attack every enemy they see. If you are too far away from them they will sometimes stop. If you get really far away, the locust can teleport to you.</p> <p>2. Pickup/Release locusts: Picking up & releasing with a spear can be used to move locusts safely or help them get unstuck.<br /> - To pick up a hacked locust with your spear, press SHIFT+Right-click on the locust when having the spear selected in the hotbar. You have to be near enough to them for it to work.<br /> - To release a locust from the spear, press SHIFT+Right-click when having the spear selected in the hotbar. By looking at a nearby block you can place them more precisely.<br /> - Note: Keep in mind, when a locust was picked up with a spear, this spear cannot be used to hack another locust. Release the locust first to be able to hack another locust. You can only have one locust at a time inside your spear. You can have multiple spears though and store them that way.</p> <p>3. Repairing locusts: If your locust got damaged, it automatically heals over time.<br /> - If you don't want to wait, you can use metal parts to repair them (simple right-click on the locust).<br /> - Alternatively you can enable the option so hitting one of your locusts with your spear repairs them, but this is not enabled by default. This uses up resources and repairs a certain amount (configurable).<br /> - If your locust died, you can still repair it using metal parts (simple right-click on the locust)<br /> - Alternatively, you can revive it with a spear hit (uses up resources, not enabled by default).</p> <p>4. Upgrading locusts: This mod introduces 3 new levels of locusts which you can upgrade your hacked locusts to. Some of the upgrades need multiple stages until the upgrade is finished.<br /> - bronze -> corrupt:<br /> - 1/1 <strong>copper hammer</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>4x metal scraps</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - corrupt -> tainted:<br /> - 1/2 <strong>(tin/bismuth/black)-bronze wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>8x metal parts</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 2/2 <strong>(tin/bismuth/black)-bronze wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Inverted refraction cylinder)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - tainted -> malignant:<br /> - 1/3 <strong>iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>12x metal parts</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 2/3 <strong>iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Dual valence emitter)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 3/3 <strong>iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas sub-assembly (Eccentric gearbox)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - malignant -> nightmare: <br /> - 1/6 <strong>meteoric iron hammer</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>8x metal scraps</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 2/6 <strong>meteoric iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>8x metal parts</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 3/6 <strong>meteoric iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Alternate injection valve)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 4/6 <strong>meteoric iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Temporal alignment node)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 5/6 <strong>meteoric iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Flux gap connector)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.<br /> - 6/6 <strong>meteoric iron wrench</strong> (or better) selected, <strong>1x Jonas part (Parallel transfer vessel)</strong> in inventory, SHIFT+Right-click.</p> <h2>Locust Tiers</h2> <ol> <li>Bronze Locust: Damage Tier 2, 18 HP</li> <li>Corrupt Locust: Damage Tier 3, 36 HP</li> <li>Tainted Locust: Damage Tier 4, 54 HP</li> <li>Malignant Locust: Damage Tier 5, 72 HP</li> <li>Nightmare Locust: Damage Tier 6, 100 HP</li> </ol> <h2>Available configuration options</h2> <h3>Unlocks</h3> <ul> <li><strong>AllowAllClassesToHackLocusts</strong>: Allows all classes to use the tuning spear (or a regular spear, if enabled) to hack/repair/revive locusts (enabled by default)</li> <li><strong>AllowAnySpearToHack</strong>: Allows any spear (not only the tuning spear) to be used to hack/repair/revive locusts (disabled by default)</li> <li><strong>Al
