Biodiversity

Biodiversity is a mod for Lethal Company that aims to expand the range of available enemies by adding variations of existing ones or adding original ones.

Their goal is to provide unique game interactions, diversify existing gameplay, and in some cases help the player.

Current add-ons.

Two enemy options.

1 sub-entity (currently disabled by default).

Two types of creatures (simpler creatures, environment creatures).

1 piece of scrap metal (7 types of textures).

More will be added soon.

Roadmap - what do you expect from biodiversity in the future?

We have big plans for the future. Here's a rough plan of what we're planning.

At least four other types of enemies.

A few more creatures.

A few beautiful objects.

More junk.

More environmental interaction.

Unique spawn mechanics.

Known Issues - Oops :3

There are some problems with our asset that we will fix in the future:

Ogopogo is sometimes grounded in some areas of Vow.

Ogopogo is not supported outside the Moon with standard spawn rarity settings. If Ogopogo sleeps there, Ogopogo will find himself where he shouldn't be.

Parasites are currently a bit broken, so we decided to disable them by default in me.biodiversity.ogopogo.cfg. They no longer register spam as in previous versions, but they are spawning on the ground and are mostly not a factor.

The sound effects of prototaxis vomiting are now global, but can only be heard by the host? This is a very strange bug.

The fog from the Prototax spray is sometimes not visible to customers.
