You should redo your configs for this update. Quite a bit has changed.

Changes

• MixinExtras is now shadowed again. The version has not changed, however.

  • In order to gain compatibility with the Essential mod, this mod will shadow mixinextras to where that mod shadows its own mixinextras.
  • Just in case you see essential mentioned in a crash report without it being installed.

• The Latch should no longer ignore its Attack cooldown (silly)

• Buglins will no longer lunge at enemies when parasite players attack or are attacked.

  • They haven't forgotten what you did to their targetting, Dhan.

• If Hermit's Arsenal is installed, Parasite Players will drop Incinerated Flesh and Fragmented Genomes whenever possible.

  • This requires a living entity to be responsible for the death.
  • Still on the fence for if parasite players will drop items more regularly. More at 11.

• Latches should now properly die whenever their owner dies.

• The UI has been modified a bit

  • Points contributed now has its own progress bar. This also shows the next Corpse Bloom level's requirement, if applicable.
  • The Latch now has a UI indicator, and a message when you unlock it.
    • The UI element also shows the Keybind needed to use it, and whether it was deployed.
  • The Hiding UI no longer shows if the player in question cannot hide, due to insufficient Corpse Bloom.
    • This also shows its keybind now.

• The messages for the note now allude to why it failed to be used.

  • "It won't budge. It seems weaker in this dimension." - The dimension you are in won't work. Try the overworld instead.
    • The dimension stipulation only exists if the nighttime stipulation is active.
  • "It won't budge. Maybe try again when its darker out?" - It needs to be daytime.
  • "It won't budge. Perhaps the moon phase is wrong." - Wrong moon phase. I would've went with something more cryptic but people actually need to know what they need to do.
  • "It won't budge" - This is now unused (far too vague)
  • "They have advanced too far for this to matter." - The current Evolution Phase is too high.

• Fixed a bug where parasite players would have worn skulls fail to rotate properly.

  • Might also fix other head-related issues, who knows

• Phase -2 now has its own sound. I suggest you set up a new world as a parasite, run /atimer set 60, and then watch the fireworks, so I can get feedback.

  • Don't get your hopes up, I'm no sound designer.
  • There is also a minor visual effect, which can be toggled in the configs.
  • For non-parasites, the sound is C418's "Alpha", or the music for the end poem.

• Corpse Bloom tier requirements are now configurable.

  • They default to the Evolution Phase Point Milestones, but each one can be modified if you wish.
  • Theoretically, you should be able to just regenerate your config if SRP changes their Phase Requirements, and the config should update as normal.
  • The requirement for the current Evolution Phase to be high enough can also be disabled now.

• Parasite Players can now deal Minimum Damage on fully charged attacks, using the Slicer (The scythe tentacle in your head)

  • This will also apply Exhaustion, provided Minimum Damage occurs. It also has a sound cue!
  • Both of these are diminished when you use them too rapidly. There is a "delay" of 10 ticks wherein your damage and exhaustion will be interpolated (reduced). The more often you hit, the less you'll deal.

• Parasite player Scent death value is now 10.

• Points subtracted on death will now be subtracted from points contributed as well.

  • Debar can prevent points from being subtracted at all, as per standard practice.
  • This can be configured. If you only want the World to lose the points, that can be done (freeloader).

• Parasite players will spawn Beckons on death provided the Reinforcement System is enabled.

  • This only occurs if an entity was responsible.
  • This stipulation extends to spawned Scents as well.
  • This can also be disabled, as well as spawning scents.

• Parasite players mimic fire-based Rage behavior now. Getting hit with fire damage has a 1 in 5 chance to give the Rage effect.

• The Grep should no longer fall into the bowels of the earth, never to return... (They still aren't finished)

• Armageddon now prevents the biome from assimilating blocks, provided a node doesn't exist.

  • A node would only be able to exist post armageddon via commands since every node is killed when it occurs, so I'm not touching that.
  • To clarify, Colonies and Nodes will have their structures stay, but the inner heart will stop beating, so to speak. More of a Carcass than a structure.

• Armageddon now scales mobs as time progresses. It does this through a new value, Ante.

  • Ante will increase every 10 days, scaling Defense, Hyper Armor, and Bane for Enhanced Mobs. All three only apply to combat with parasites.
    • Defense is effectively extra health.
    • Hyper Armor turns damage below its value into healing.
      • This cannot heal above half the mob's maximum health (including defense).
    • Bane is extra damage dealt to Parasites.
    • Enhanced mobs will also gain the Speed effect with varying amplifier (it changes every second, most of the time) when targetting a parasite.
  • Ante also increases the chance that RPL occurs, as well as its severity.
  • A mob has a chance to become Enhanced when it spawns, and the chance increases the closer the Threat is.
  • When I do add a way to decrease Ante, there will be a minimum value it cannot go below. This creeps upward by 1 whenever its difference from ante exceeds 5 (configurable).
  • There's also a new command, /ante, which behaves much like /atimer.
  • Enhanced Mobs will remove 2 points for all adaptations on any parasites they attack. You are included in this.
  • There are custom hit colors and sounds for Defense and Hyper Armor proccing. Bane also has a sound when it is used. All sounds have pitch modifications of some kind.
    • An entity will flash blue if it is using its defense. This will play an Iron Golem hurt sound.
    • An entity will flash yellow if it blocks an attack with Hyper Armor. This will play an attack failure sound.

• Parasites will burn in sunlight once Ante exceeds 7. This can be configured, and doesn't occur if you are invulnerable.

• Again, to reiterate, the Threat is still disabled by default. This is all a HEAVY work in progress.

  • Enhanced Mobs are still not at the level I aspire them to be at the moment, so if you do play with them enabled expect hiccups (don't be afraid to tell me about them, too!)

• For parity with recent Beckon changes, the parasite player model and Factory model will both have glowing parts where necessary.
