Check ur configs

[cloud kindle]

if non of the giants are spawning, what values would you recommend to increase the odds?

[opal wing]

lethal pipe removal

if you have posters removed

[limpid whale]

Had someone get it without that

So mod compat seems to be flakey

[opal wing]

ok so there is multiple

good to know

[vapid steeple]

is it normal that outdoor enemies blow up instead of dying normally?

it might be from another mod but it started happening once i installed this one

yeah nvm its from another mod
my bad!

[full ruin]

you peaked my interest

what was the mod

Expode

[vapid steeple]

the everythingcandie mod
i forgot to configure it so everything went kaboom by default

[vapid steeple]

also btw can the giants be stunned

the new ones

[ebon thistle]

the driftwood can

problem is if you hold a stun while it's throwing ya it doesn't actually drop you

[livid aurora]

Does anyone know of a mod that makes items stay on the ship railing between takeoffs?

[dim hull]

Kinda trivializes beehives if you can do that methinks

[livid aurora]

Getting stung once when going to pickup a hive or two isn't really difficult though

Getting it to the ship is the hard part

Usually only one or two hives spawn at most so the chances of you getting the hives inside the ship after putting them on the railings is already almost 100%

Unless you're 20 health

[dim hull]

So what would you want the mod for then?

[livid aurora]

Convenience in other areas

Sometimes I leave an extension ladder outside the ship (the huge ones from another mod)

Most of the time it gets forgotten about

It's a silly request but I know a mod like that already exists but idk what the name for it is

It also makes items persist when visiting the same moon over again

What happens to all the scrap we leave on the moons in the base game? I imagine a huge hoard of loot bugs just takes it all

[sudden lichen]

Nah
Issue is on take-off you need 1 person per hive you wanna bring in basically
So it takes a bit of coordination and people not dying
Not to mention outside enemies, and stormy weather
Having them all teleport in does trivialise all of that

byeah, idk the name of it

[livid aurora]

I moreso want it for the ladders I guess

I'm silly that way

It's not just me either, somehow everyone in my group forgets to grab the ladder often

[calm widget]

I had my solo method for bringing in 4 beehives lol

Fun times

[sudden lichen]

oh??

[calm widget]

Bees still need line of sight to aggro on you

So if u put em near the entrance on the right side of the ship

And dodge em well

You could end up with 4 beehives and like 40 leftover hp

[limpid whale]

https://clips.twitch.tv/OptimisticInnocentEelPanicVis-2aGmRvQG5obK0rm1 Btw @calm widget sharing this in your thread 🤣

The fact he got such an amazing experience with your Driftwood

Ahaha

[fast jacinth]

These specimens sure are giant. 🌳

[novel lance]

question did the driftwood not throwing clients thing get fixed

[ebon thistle]

as far as i know yeah, current version of gspec is decently stable

[novel lance]

nice

[vapid steeple]

will this guy be the giant for desert moons like assurance or offense (if he ever gets added)

[ebon thistle]

yeah this guy'll be in eventually

don't know if xu will limit where it spawns

would make the most sense in those though

[novel lance]

is the fact that the driftwood can throw people out of bounds unavoidable

[ebon thistle]

yeah, pretty much

[livid aurora]

Pro Xu strats

[calm widget]

Not unavoidable, being thrown has skills to it

[novel lance]

no i mean unavoidable as in unfixable

[fast jacinth]

What would it even do?

Like what's it's mechanic?

[calm widget]

tbh been working a lot more on my other mod that ill make a thread for soon since its getting close to semi-release

100 reactions on this thread and ill prioritise cactus giant frfr (/s)

[amber parrot]

bruh

I just realized that I didn't hit the like button on this thread.

Now.

[calm widget]

wow

wow wow wow

dont forget to like the mod on thunderstore too

actually thats more important smh

theres barely likes there

[amber parrot]

I thought you were going to say "too much hate" or something like that. XD

[calm widget]

lol

im a very nice girl

dunno what u could be saying here

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/XuXiaolan/TheGiantSpecimens/ anway i changed my mind, 70 likes there and ill prioritise cactus giant :3

[amber parrot]

How can I like? I try to hit the button, but it doesn't work.

[calm widget]

you gotta log on through discord on thunderstore i think

[amber parrot]

Okey perfect.

[amber parrot]

Btw, are you going to need help on the Cactus sounds or will the creator of Lethal Resonance make those sounds? 🤔

[calm widget]

are you actually interested in helpign with sounds 😭

cuz pixel is waaay too busy

[amber parrot]

Okay, it's literally called Lethal Resonance. 😂

[amber parrot]

I think I remember saying that I could help you with the Cactus sounds or something like that.

[calm widget]

i think you've said smthn similar for redwood and driftwood tbh

but i cant remember

[amber parrot]

Nah, the Redwood came out before I started creating sounds.

[calm widget]

must've been the driftwood then

[amber parrot]

And the Driftwood was if Sickboy couldn't help you, then I would.

[calm widget]

its funny

[amber parrot]

I didn't want to steal his job without some response from Sickboy. xD

But in the end Pixel helped you.

[calm widget]

it was spin master -> sickboy -> you -> pixel

because yall waited like 3 weeks 😭

sound designers passing me around

[fast jacinth]

Nah how about everyone in the server unanimously follows this random link to a random video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&pp=ygUJcmljayByb2xs

[copper lava]

Truly life changing

||Maybe disable the embed||

[fast jacinth]

@everyone If enough of you check out this video then we can get the cactus giant added to the giant specimens mod. So what are you waiting for go look at the video. 👆

[copper lava]

@everyone
(Doesn't work by everyone for large servers from what I remember)

[restive terrace]

lmao

[fast jacinth]

Damn.

[low girder]

Shameless, I respect it

[dim hull]

The /s is short for /shame

[low girder]

Wha.. what do you mean passing you around I thought I was the only one making your sounds :S you’ve been cheating on me this whole time

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[calm widget]

Sorry bud

[amber parrot]

Remember to like so Xu works 24 hours a day at the Cactus. ☝️

[calm widget]

@forest mulch would get so mad at me but I'd do it :p

[low girder]

house burns down Xu: “WhErE aRe My SoUnDs”

[full ruin]

driftwood threw us through the map 2 times in a row already

once on infernis and once on etern

[calm widget]

Like under?

[full ruin]

yeah

ok apparently if you get teleported mid sling you keep flying after being tped

[full ruin]

3

[calm widget]

ill add a check for rhiw

This*

[full ruin]

yeah i think i got damaged twice

[calm widget]

Damn @gray dock make better maps

[gray dock]

I knew you were going to say something like that

[ebon thistle]

she's just mad cuz you make peak and she don't got no moons 🤧🤧🤧

[full ruin]

apparently a regular forest giant can eat you while driftwood is grabbign yopu

[fast jacinth]

True. Real facts.

[restive terrace]

dont even @ me Xultist, i know you want to

[fast jacinth]

Jeez, you doin westly dirty.

[calm widget]

Hey not my fault they only clip through your maps

Probably because of the uneven terrain though in comparison to vanilla

[gray dock]

I clipped through star's new map so it's not just mine

[calm widget]

Whay I'm hearing is TWO moon makers can't make good moons

[gray dock]

'-'

[calm widget]

Lol

[restive terrace]

one of the reasons why i had to step up 😎 || /jk ||

[ebon thistle]

yeah, the combo is insane

the driftwood can hold you down while the forest keeper runs at you

[full ruin]

vile

[calm widget]

Also I hope yall realise I don't write down bugs, I won't remember these later LOL

[amber parrot]

When a Giant is about to eat a player, the Driftwood should grab the giant with both hands and throw it into the air. 😎

[restive terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/baka-america-britain-susworl-hetalia-gif-27038459

[full ruin]

e

[calm widget]

Yuckie

[copper lava]

Pin every bug report

[calm widget]

I should

From now on I will do that

But for now idk where the bugs are

Can't remember

[copper lava]

I was semi-joking but I guess that works? Lol

[full ruin]

[gray dock]

lmao

[dim hull]

Lethal Company needs a killbind

[full ruin]

actual opps

sent to mess with me doing the cosmocos puzzle

[dim hull]

Y'know I've always thought the red giant looked goofy just growing during its spawn animation and now it turns out that's actually causing people to clip through the world

[calm widget]

Okay no this one actually isn't my fault

Plus this isn't the growing animation I think its just walking around?

Couldn't tell too well

[dim hull]

Well, I still think the growing animation looks goofy ahh hell

[full ruin]

yes

[calm widget]

The other option was goofier trust me

Some sailor moon transformation

[dim hull]

Why not just have it climb out of the ground like the regular giant lol

[calm widget]

Cuz thats animation and a lot of time 😭

[peak lotus]

Long term goal I suppose 🤷‍♀️

[dim hull]

I mean, back when the design was being worked on still I'd suggested that red giants be limited to world-gen spawns, like beehives

[amber parrot]

It's important that there is a little humor in every Lethal monster. [?]

[calm widget]

That was the initial goal

But there was weirdness in that type of stuff

[dim hull]

Oh really?

That doesn't seem like something that even COULD have weirdness

[amber parrot]

I like it, it's funny and epic.

[full ruin]

redwood is very angry cause it cant reach it lol

[calm widget]

Daytime enemies had a lot of unknown options at the time

When I was halfway through thr driftwood I decided to look into stuff and add it to the lethal wiki

[calm widget]

Loooool great

[full ruin]

im gonna turn them off on like half of wesleys after this

[full ruin]

xu can you fix driftwood's hitbox

its really hard to hit them

[calm widget]

Current hitbox do be hands, I'll put that on my todo list since it's fair

[livid aurora]

Is the white giant almost done

Idk much about them tbh

At first glance they look like a redwood reskin

But I only saw like one preview of them a few days ago

[calm widget]

Tbh not too far from being done, probably next weekend will be added

[livid aurora]

What does he do

Is there any full pics of him?

[copper lava]

#1208964227835109407 message

[calm widget]

He has a special weather event

[copper lava]

not a picture but it'll do

[calm widget]

I'm still messing around with his size etc

[ebon thistle]

basically is, but it has some extra cool stuff :]

[ebon thistle]

I can send a picture of the model if xu doesn't mind @calm widget

[calm widget]

Ye

[livid aurora]

Showw

Omg he's terrifying

[ebon thistle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1217842142890823773/1236888923410530325/image.png?ex=664237d3&is=6640e653&hm=b0b61f0d2f2f081ea60f7ab9e6004b9fa6078eaf99e086b1a148ae48d7a7f15e&

it's had some proportions changed since then

but this is generally the look

[novel lance]

bro got covered in cocaine

hes tweakin summoning freaky weather

[ebon thistle]

it's a lot more slim n tall than wide n big like the og redwood

e

god my phone is so fucked its so hard to type hellp me

[novel lance]

your phones tweakin now

[ebon thistle]

anyway, the proportion changes xu sent me I dont think are the final look so I'm not gonna send those, but it changes the silloutte a ton

[ebon thistle]

thats the decret jester, its always twealin

twakin

twealin

tweakin

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔AGGGG I HATE THIS FUCKING PHONE

[fast jacinth]

It looks like a giant biblically accurate angel.

[viral tusk]

Needs more eyes XD

[ebon thistle]

https://youtu.be/GTaArt-BCss?si=PMydlpQbCpHsO71K me rn

[novel lance]

bros phone getting 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂

[ebon thistle]

the concept art I made had a lot more eyes but It was really hard to draw detailed eye patterns on the giant's model

it ended up looking really good though, the model compliments the textures really well

[viral tusk]

Oh yeah I remember seeing that, I think it turned out great 😄

[hardy yacht]

Sick

[ebon thistle]

yeah!! props to mort (meatball demon) for the textures, he did an amazing job

[fast jacinth]

Oh man if you did add it, it would be even more horrifying then it is.

[ebon thistle]

they're still there, just a bit harder to notice

ingame they're VERY easy to tell though. this thing is immense

[livid aurora]

Terrifying

What does he do though

Does he eat redwoods?

[ebon thistle]

no idea, that's up to Ms Xiaolan

[calm widget]

No I was not going to copy paste redwood but bigger and better

Only my animator (and a bunch of other people) know my plans

[dim roost]

[full ruin]

so i got a total of like 6 OOB by driftwood and all on wesley's moons

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1208849588539101294/1239176090661027871/image.png?ex=6641f82a&is=6640a6aa&hm=a68e5fcc8c7893ed6bfa398a101e42d0f381ca23f72355baa987ef0539705bb0&

[calm widget]

Okay cmon can't be me if it's Wesley's moons

[full ruin]

this is tolian's caltprime

[calm widget]

All these moon creators gonna cook properly

Pls send video next time tho I have no idea how to fix without video lol

[full ruin]

gimme like 10 mins

[livid aurora]

Really looking forward to it

Giant specimens is one of my fav mods

[ebon thistle]

oh yeah sometimes when playing w smxrez the driftwood barely thru me

[calm widget]

The first one is a bug on my side that I can try fixing (basically you do get teleported you just are moving so fast you leave the ship instantly)

Second one is a mod incompatibility afaik

[calm widget]

When was this

[ebon thistle]

yeah it's a mod incompat

[calm widget]

Cuz Ik for a while lethal emotes api broke my throwing by accident

[ebon thistle]

last time we played so like a week or so ago

[calm widget]

Cuz they added a useless collider

[calm widget]

That mightve been with lethal emotes api breaking, not too sure

[ebon thistle]

no idea

might be that

@lilac dragon

i summon thee, silly

[full ruin]

[ebon thistle]

||||

[full ruin]

[lilac dragon]

Yea pretty sure it was that

Also we should hop on https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1066512153760252025.png?size=48&quality=lossless

[ebon thistle]

[dim hull]

I think driftwood giant should do the California girls dance

[calm widget]

I'm pretty sure I saw nunchuck post the Redwood dancing

[wise coral]

on liquidation i think the driftwood should spawn as a pile of floating sticks

[sleek plinth]

Quick question,what must I change in the configs to have these beautiful beasts spawn on Wesley's moons?

[novel lance]

oh trust me

they will

no config needed

[sleek plinth]

Ah

ok

just bad luck lol

[novel lance]

i could say the same but with them spawning lmao

[sleek plinth]

Lmao

[mortal moss]

if you want to change their spawnrate on wesley's moons, you can go into TheGiantSpecimens.cfg and change the Modded spawn weight

[sleek plinth]

Ty

[lime lava]

why is big red big white now

[copper lava]

Big red still exists

This is bigger white

[near portal]

How do you spawn it?

[copper lava]

I don't think it's out yet, just teased

[calm widget]

@wooden heath (sorry for ping!) Hey! just wanted to say thank you for playing my mod (TheGiantSpecimens) on your stream last night (was sleeping so missed the stream T-T), it looked like everyone had a blast and I'm glad everyone had a bunch of fun with it.
Thanks again!

(also sorry for the whistle LOL, you can turn it off in configs but it does attract the nearest redwood to your location)

[restive terrace]

also what is that head bop thing when someone talks? Which mod does that?? 👀

[calm widget]

@fallow dirge is there a problem with me making the craters in the default layer

Monsters pass throw them, which is fine and maybe for the best tbh

The player doesn't which is nice

I'm just worried about cameras etc

[fallow dirge]

I think it seems normal enough for them to be in the default layer to me, given that they're on the exterior and iirc the terrain outside is default layer?

I think it should be totally fine for cameras especially

seems weird that enemies pass through them, but not entirely sure how AI collision works anyway

[calm widget]

Terrain is room layer 💀

I was so shocked

When I found out

Like wtf is the terrain layer for lmao

[fallow dirge]

oh huh

well maybe it's better that it's there then? but then perhaps you end up colliding the AI, I wonder if the navmesh would adjust

[calm widget]

Good question

Does imperium show navmesh? Cuz I can try

All I'd be doing is changing layer on the object anyway

[fallow dirge]

not sure about Imperium, I still need to try that

it does look handy but I need to figure out how it does all that it does so I can know what I'm looking at from a technical perspective

you can at least see it in the editor, but I think you mentioned you hadn't switched over to asset rip yet

[calm widget]

Nomnom on the case technically rn for that, he offered to do it for me

[wooden heath]

Dude this mod was absolutely insane. I can't wait to show it of in some videos soon!

[calm widget]

That's amazing to hear! I've been working on a new mod with a decently high quality weather if you'd like to try that 🤭. (I have not tested coop yet LOL but its looking amazing rn)

[wooden heath]

Would absolutely love to try it out! I'll most likely be streaming again tonight so it would be an optimal time!

[calm widget]

yee i can dm you the dll since its not out on thunderstore if you'd like

will send it within the hour, expect greatness

[copper lava]

Insider access 👀

[calm widget]

me frantically adding multiplayer support

[high latch]

I mostly use mithzan and co. to figure out if certain mods are multiplayer so now that I know I am most certainly going to add this mod to my modpack lol

[calm widget]

how did u come and make me a model if you dont even use the giant specimens 😭

got it working cuz im just that cool

[high latch]

I WANTED TO BUT MODDED HADN'T BEEN WORKING RECENTLY AND I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK IT

I had been wanting to play for like a month 😭

[grave jolt]

hey any chance of adding a config to turn off the footstep dust clouds?

[calm widget]

turning them off? i've been asked to do colours but never off

i guess i can add that lol

[calm widget]

two hours late...!

(i was trynna fix a new bug)

[restive terrace]

just dont make new bugs

simple solution 👌

[copper lava]

simpler solution, call them features

[restive terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/denzel-washington-training-day-smoke-gif-22279308

[grave jolt]

That would be awesome. It’s mostly just a visual thing for me because I see it through haze at a distance when eclipsed

[fallow dirge]

maybe the particles' material doesn't have volumetric fog enabled? I think I've seen that be an issue before

[coarse hatch]

@calm widget i had an actual heart attack in the middle of the night last night because i remembered i was supposed to be making audio for this mod

im guessing im too late 💀

[calm widget]

legit where were u 😭

[calm widget]

its the shaders iirc

cuz we use the standard shaders for particles

and it just does not blend in with anything in LC

i havent tried looking into this volumetric fog part though

[fallow dirge]

oh, particles have a special material instead of Lit/Unlit?

[calm widget]

this is how they look in mny project rn

anything else i try doesnt really work

making it rn

whoops wrong chat

[fallow dirge]

gotcha, curious

I haven't looked at the settings for that shader at all but it would be pretty sad if it didn't support fog

[calm widget]

it just doesnt interact with LC at all, you can see my particles a mile away which makes me so sad

i gotta make my own shader for interacting with HDRP at some point

[fallow dirge]

wait actually, is that even an HDRP shader?

[calm widget]

[fallow dirge]

I would've expected it to be in a parent directory HDRP

[calm widget]

i havent found any other shaders that worked in the way that i needed it to

[low girder]

Minecraft shaders LC mod??👀

[calm widget]

not those type of shaders 😭 well kinda

[fallow dirge]

everything uses shaders, even vanilla Minecraft lol

(after they switched from fixed function pipeline at least)

[midnight verge]

he forgor 💀

[calm widget]

come make me more soundss

you missed out on so much lmao

[coarse hatch]

what do you neeeeeeed

which ones

im supposed to be doing school but i want to refund this wish.com audio tag so

[calm widget]

can you make me butterfly wing flapping sounds

i think in the timespan you've been gone

i've started work on another bigger mod than this one

and i've already made a new weather

[coarse hatch]

what kind of cryogenic chamber ahh prison was i trapped in

[calm widget]

i have no clue, but you've missed out on a lot

[coarse hatch]

buttorfly

on it

[calm widget]

ty

[coarse hatch]

hold up let me grab my net and run outside (thats not a joke i actually need to catch a buttefly to hear what it sounds like, and i need to get outside more)

[restive terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voq0bNa3Mg8 - here so you save yourself from accidentaly touching grass

[coarse hatch]

ima be honest, i cant really hear anything so ima just like make wing sounds that are lighter than normal

0h its too late for that lol

[restive terrace]

oof

sry to hear that

[coarse hatch]

i caught it on the deck though

no grass for me

[coarse hatch]

@calm widget is it a normal buttorflie or a big fricking godzilla buttorflie

[coarse hatch]

dude im 90% thats a man violating a stack of cards im not even joking

[calm widget]

i need like one flap LOL

its a moth sized butterfly like

its my hand sized

[coarse hatch]

ok ok mb

[calm widget]

although you should probably send a video of multiple of them happening within the same interval so i can actually listen to it how it would sound like

[amber parrot]

But did you make a remix with the heart attack sound?

[amber parrot]

You are definitely Spinmaster. (?

[calm widget]

ah yes... my favourite flapping sounds

[coarse hatch]

if someone tells me to make a remix of the most random thing ever i am obligated to do it

i dont really remember what obligated means actually

i think

stupid bird just ruined my toweling

[calm widget]

LMAO

your toweling was good tho

[low girder]

Low key a good bird sound for the tulips just saying

[true topaz]

instead of growing out of the ground wonky style... could the redwoods walk in from outside the map? (could have them loop the walking anim till they hit actual ground to get over the void)

also, they should move much farther per step based on their size. like, CoD Iron Giants

[low girder]

YOOOOOOOO THIS MAN IS ON TO SOMETHING @calm widget

[calm widget]

So u just want him to walk through mountains and shii? 😭

[true topaz]

i mean

he got that LEG on him yk?

[calm widget]

Aslo the outside of all maps are so inconsistent there isn't a way to do this lol

Plus I'd need navmesh outside the map

[true topaz]

just have them walking onto map be the spawn anim

like the old birds in a sense

[calm widget]

But then you'd have to account for custom maps :p

[true topaz]

nah

[calm widget]

Wdym nah

[true topaz]

just walk cycle to spawnpoint

[calm widget]

???

I'm sorry but in this scenario I know what I'm talking about

[true topaz]

i want to know what you are talking about /genuine

[calm widget]

First I'd have to on every moon reliably find the edge spawn point

Then I'd have to make it face away from that edge, towards maybe the centre of the map or smthn

So far it's an annoying thing to do but doable

Then I'd have to bother my animator to make an animation of it popping out of thin air like 20 meters backwards and walking into the actual spawn point

THEN I have to consider all the maps that have mountains, all the maps that have voids outside their edge, all the map that have a long stretch of nothing, hell, all the maps that aren't just a field or smthn, like this would be a shit feature in atlas abyss or Atlantica or any moon like that

Because you'd clear as day see it walking on thin air or phasing through walls

And then I'd get spammed with bug reports

Don't forget I'd have to override vanilla spawning to pick my own spawn points

[true topaz]

AH

[calm widget]

And at this point this as much effort or maybe more than just remaking the entire mod

[true topaz]

Maybe have them mimic Offline Old Birds then? so static redwood entit(y/ies) at the start of the day, then they "wake up" over time

[calm widget]

Lotta work for my animator that i just don't feel comfortable bothering them with

[true topaz]

fair n valid

wait, would there need to be more than 1 small anim for that? aside from the static pose -> transition to idle

[calm widget]

Static pose bring a sleepy pose or smthn they spawn in with, then transition to a waking up one, then I gotta bother my sound guys to make me something

Then I gotta rewrite some logic and animator stuff

It's just not happening lol

[true topaz]

[calm widget]

Besides I'm not really touching this mod for a bit u less the thing in pins gets done first

I'm working on my other mod

[true topaz]

how do i like the mod?

[calm widget]

You gotta log onto discord in thunderstore

[true topaz]

thank!

[amber parrot]

For what it's worth, I like the Redwood spawn animation.

[calm widget]

Ty

[ebon thistle]

I was thinking that too yeah

but as xu said, work

[low girder]

But the redwood spawn animation could be SO COOL crawling out of the ground. PLUS when his huge arms and hands come out of the ground to help get his body out of the ground they would make moments to be squashed

[true topaz]

joke spawn animation where the redwood just rises fully formed out of the ground while T-posing

[lime lava]

redwoods logic is screaming makes you bigger

so short people better start screaming

(that includes me)

[calm widget]

sometime in the next couple days i'll do a bug fix update that should fix some movement stuff

[calm widget]

also obligatory one time mention that im doing new stuff here now https://ko-fi.com/xuxiaolan

[low girder]

You know what make that a 2x mention

[calm widget]

Okay um uhh, commissions closed for now >.<

[dim hull]

What happened

[calm widget]

A lot

More than I expected

And ty for the people who commissioned 🩷

[dim hull]

Man maybe I should ask for free money

[surreal totem]

i will give you 20 dollars if you give me 20 dollars

[kind berry]

Curious for LGU-

Can your custom giants be seperated by rank of the sample upgrade?

[calm widget]

Yeah currently tier 2 is driftwood and 3 is redwood

[kind berry]

perfect lol

[low girder]

Xu when did you open your kofi?

[calm widget]

The same time I sent the link here lol

Though the actual kofi account is like a year old

I used to do art comms

[low girder]

So those 13 were just in an hour?? Congrats!! Anyways I’m going to go bury myself in the backyard

[calm widget]

Nooo

Those 13 were super old

But thr commissions

That u don't see I don't think

Are new

[abstract relic]

Nice work

XD

[restive terrace]

bros cappin everywhere..

[calm widget]

LOL yeah I dropped a few images that were part of the mod but not directly mind, I did redo the processes just to make sure everything I know how to do :3

Also for the animations since I do know how to do the animations but those are the newer versions, i would finally be able to pay my animators for this stuff lol

[calm widget]

Also tyty

Though mostly the my work was to show off the actual mod and not the models etc, I forgot to label that that was an example of an icon lol, like the wallets weren't directly modelled by me but code etc (which is the important part for the showcase) was mine

I can see how it's confusing tho sef

Def

I did the kofi in mostly a rush tbh

I havent finished the commissions portion fully, I gotta redo it

[calm widget]

Btw I credited you for that on thunderstore right? I know I couldn't on this thread cuz ping limit but iirc I did on thunderstore

[abstract relic]

Yeah you did

There's a ping limit?

[calm widget]

Yeah every message has like 5 ping limit

I made the pings in main post whilst I was sthff

So it has more

[low girder]

Hey @calm widget when I saw the comment that your account @calm widget posted I can’t help but wonder if pinging such as @calm widget would be what you’re talking about. Would that be it @calm widget ?

[calm widget]

Smh

[silver wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-final-fantasy-stranger-of-paradise-origin-garland-gif-21952407

[lime lava]

ngl cactus giant (or whatever its going to be called)
should charge at you

like a very fast thumper

they cant change directions when they charge

[dim hull]

Or at least have very poor turning control once they've charged about 20 ft

[ebon flower]

it shoud be a fake beehive and when you interact with it

it surface to attack you

[midnight verge]

i like the charge idea

[tame adder]

charges and falls on you

[opal wing]

it pops out of the ground then starts chaasing you falls on you. When it falls it is now disguised again like how it started, maybe having a few skeltons hanging from its body

[sudden stratus]

Can you use LethalQuantities to handle the spawns for this mod?

When I set them to spawn somewhere they just never spawn

I tried putting them as the only enemy on a moon and nothing at all spawns

It was working before

But now it isn't

[exotic elbow]

Cactus giant charge at you,and when it hits you you get pushed very hard, and knocking a wall or a an obstacle could damage you as well

Iam very sadistic

[copper lava]

Where did the idea of a cactus giant charging like a thumper come from lol

[inner badger]

Hey, just to be sure. I was able to observe the Redwood Giant for the first time and saw it also walking through the ship. Do you get crushed by its feet inside the ship, or is there still a safe zone, even if the foot glitches through there?

[calm widget]

safe zone

[inner badger]

Thanks a lot for the info

[exotic elbow]

can't wait to get my butt kicked by newx cactus giant, and the two new weather

[abstract relic]

What is the second one? I only knew about the meteor shower

[exotic elbow]

Tornado

[calm widget]

Yall might have to wait a long while, tornados gonna take a helluva a lot of time for me to model and do the effects for and I'm simultaneously doing commissions on the side

Gotta pay for school one way or another lol

[exotic elbow]

take your time lord xiaolan

im waiting very patientely

[thin edge]

is there any giants from mongolia?

cause if not this mod sucks

who tf wants to play a mod where its not from mongolia 💀

[dim hull]

ok buddy

[true topaz]

how do the giants mesh with overall gameplay? Is FairGiants necessary/functional for them? Is it possible to play around them, or do they make a moon a write-off?

[dim hull]

the giant specimens are designed around vanilla giants but I'm p sure they're compatible with FairGiants?

[abstract relic]

Both mods are compatible but I don't think FairGiants actually affects the giants from this mod

[true topaz]

while i support this mod, i don't like vanilla giants, as their counter play can be summarized as: leave. so i want to see if this mod has that same issue before i add it to my game

[abstract relic]

Kind of yeah

How do you expect escaping giants if not to run away?

[true topaz]

i do, that just doesn't work in base game

[copper lava]

they mean leave the planet I suppose

[true topaz]

yeah

[abstract relic]

Oh

This mod has a ship safe area iirc

They won't camp

[true topaz]

but in the general outside, if they see you at all, are you f*cked?

[abstract relic]

No

you have high chances of surviving actually

[true topaz]

oh!

[viral tusk]

The Redwood doesn't even care about the player

[true topaz]

mostly concerned about the driftwood honestly

[abstract relic]

He doesn't one-shot, that's one thing I can say

[true topaz]

is he escapable tho? from the clips i've seen he aggros instantly

or does he have proximity rather than/plus sight

[abstract relic]

I've only encountered it twice but from what I experienced, it can see really well

But if you're asking about if they're unbalanced or not, the answer would be no, they are not unbalanced

Although the best way to know if you like them or not would be to try them

[true topaz]

okay

and based on what you've said, they seem to avoid the main issue Base Giants have

[wise coral]

well redwood eats forest and driftwoods so they arent too much of a problem if you have a redwood

[abstract relic]

I didn't want to spoil it too much so I tried to be vague lol

[true topaz]

i wish there was the option for old birds to blow up when eaten, taking them both out

[near portal]

how could you say that

[hexed relic]

So I found a bug, when u get taken by yhe driftwood giant, but then enter the facility while being held, I got stuck in the void and slowly died

[calm widget]

that...

hmm

well that does sound like a bug

cuz it shouldnt happen

did u go to facility while grabbed?

or go before being grabbed

by grabbed i mean quite literally in its hands

[hexed relic]

While grabbed

Thought going in would help escape but unfortunately not

[opal wing]

Thats a highly specific scenario

[copper lava]

Still one worth putting safety checks in place for.

[terse pollen]

hey, when I start the game, the console says this [Info :More Ship Upgrades] Registed sample for the enemy "RedWoodGiant"...

Parry the worm and send it straight to hell

why do I want the redwood to punch the ground and pull out worms and eat them

[timid imp]

should i or better let it just be? xD

[calm widget]

it's fun

i'd keep it

[timid imp]

its off by default thats why im asking haha

[calm widget]

yeah i got lots of unreasonable complaints :p

[timid imp]

im curious lets see

[timid imp]

pff wouldve not set it off by default only because some people crying, they can turn it off by themself then xD

i recommend setting it on by default again no matter what people saying, maybe i wouldve never found out if i didnt asked and probably even more people will not if u keep it off... they can set it off by themselfs if they dont want it seriously...

[calm widget]

:p truee

[timid imp]

🙂

[dim hull]

I mean as the creator it is entirely up to your vision whether it's defaulted on or off

[calm widget]

Eh I didnt care enough

[hexed relic]

Man I loved zeus mode, its a REALLY cool sight to see. Also got to see it once ans then just stayed outside to see it

[old mist]

Can you limit the maximum number?

Driftwood Giant

Configurable

[ebon thistle]

yeah, there's a config to limit max spawns i think

[calm widget]

There's a config for power level but not max spawns I think

[mortal moss]

the setting didn't exist when people were complaining

[ebon thistle]

really?

[calm widget]

i think so

[ebon thistle]

lemme check

[timid imp]

makes no sense

[timid imp]

@calm widget does that work aswell or pointless? its the spawn weight for the redwood giant.

[opal wing]

making it 150 is arbitrary, since they are weighted against the other enemies outdoors

so 150 may sound like a big rate but no knowing the other outdoor enemy rarities may make them seem like they ar enot spawning

[timid imp]

just using the default settings

[opal wing]

yeah im just trying to explain how the spawning works

pretty much at same as interiors for base rarity

all the enemy's values added up

then each individual value gets divided by the total

[timid imp]

yea i know its random weighted method but idk neither whats the values for the others

[opal wing]

its not random but only way ive been able to figure them out was with LQ

[timid imp]

i think thats how this method is called "weighted random" iirc

[opal wing]

the weights arent random rather they increase/decrease over time

[timid imp]

dont blame me i didnt call it like this xD

so u say 150 is too much

[opal wing]

I cant say how much it is as id need to know the spawn weight for the test of the planets monsters

even if you dont use it as an editor maybe using LQ to check the default spawn values would be good

[timid imp]

okay it depends on the moon

so aquatis is very baboonhawk heavy somehow

100 on baboons

[opal wing]

oh yeah spawn weight depends on the moon, enemy power is consistant(unless you change that with LQ)

[opal wing]

so a good weight to make it spawn really often would be 250

since id be higher than all the other possibilities

[timid imp]

the question is do i want them to spawn so often on aquatis haha

[opal wing]

probably not lol

[timid imp]

i think ill take em out there entirely

celest would be more fitting

okay if i want to do the spawn tru quantities theres a problem i cant find the redwood giant there in the dropdown menu

[remote aspen]

So, finally got around to trying this mod out. Wondering what the whistle does?

[calm widget]

attracts the redwood to yer location

[remote aspen]

Oh

Lovely...

The two giants are really cool tho, I like the Driftwood just tossing you into orbit lol

[calm widget]

thanks~

[old mist]

Driftwood giants are more dangerous than forest giants.

I need to be able to limit the maximum number

[calm widget]

🤔 the current max is 4

but i can add that next version

[old mist]

thx🤩👍

[frail nexus]

yeah i would def like to be able to change the max down bc ive had 4 spawn on once on a hard moon and it was hell

[ebon thistle]

yeah same happened to us on one of generic's moons last play session

they immediately capped their own spawns lmao

[calm widget]

Honestly that might just be a thing that needs balancing on spawn weights side lol but ywah ill add a config

[vivid anvil]

so I may have found an issue

[calm widget]

Lmao

[remote aspen]

Yo, @calm widget are your giants weak to explosions like the vanilla giant in v50?
And if not are you planning to incorporate it?

[calm widget]

Well driftwood freaks out and runs to the other side of the map after being exploded

Redwood eats old birds after being hit

[remote aspen]

Oh damn

[crimson wedge]

Could anyone tell me what these giants do?

I'm trying to convince someone to get this mod and they're just saying the red giant is Old Bird 2

[calm widget]

They're an idiot

Redwood is a guardian giant that roams around and eats giants and old birds if the old birds provoke it

[amber parrot]

Yeah, Redwood is not an Old Bird 2.

Redwood is an Old Bird 3.

[calm widget]

Lol

Shysh

[crimson wedge]

So he eats other enemies?

[amber parrot]

Only the Forest Giant, Driftwood Giant and Old Bird.

[crimson wedge]

ok

[amber parrot]

And the Driftwood Giant is a giant "gorilla" that instead of eating you sends you to visit another moon. :3

[crimson wedge]

Can you recover?

it looks hard to outrun him

[amber parrot]

I think the damage when thrown is 30 damage or something like that.

[crimson wedge]

Oh so it's not fall damage

[amber parrot]

No, I think Xu removed that so it wouldn't be unfair. :p

[calm widget]

Yeah its augmented fall damage

[amber parrot]

Or something like that.

[crimson wedge]

So you won't die from it

[amber parrot]

Imo, as a gamer, The Giant Specimens is one of my favorite mods and I find it hard to rotate with other mods.

It's a lot of fun to have 3 variants of giants and Xu did an incredible job.

[crimson wedge]

Cool def downloading now

[amber parrot]

It adds a lot of variety to the outside and makes it more fun to return to the ship.

[remote aspen]

It’s a real spectacle seeing the redwood marching in the distance too imo

Looks awesome

while id like more of these wooden critters, Driftwood still has a few tweaks it needs. that and Xu's got a few other projects lined up

and possibly a life

Bugs with throwing aint my fault but I got an idea for a different system I'd implement anyway

Oh damn u famous?

[ebon thistle]

I mean, they came before Old birds

[ebon thistle]

yah redwoods aren't old birds at all

they just have the same mechanic where they get rid of other entities

[ebon flower]

no

redwood are old birds that like to spawn inside buildings

[calm widget]

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic lol

Also redwoods are the size of a yippee, that's how the navmesh interprets them

[ebon thistle]

I'm not

redwoods literally get rid of other entities (specifically other giants)

[calm widget]

Yee okie

[remote aspen]

They commit Cannonballism

[crimson wedge]

Does this have any compatibility issues?

[amber parrot]

I do not think so.

[zenith knoll]

Yo Peter got wild

[hard zephyr]

is there a moon that is perfect to have all the giants spawn on? ive been kind of limiting the spawns on certain planets to what makes sense for me, i:e only certain planets has redwoods and forest, no driftwoods, or only a few have the chance to have all three plus the other spawns, etc

but i want a planet where i can just max only the giants spawns and not have other creatures like dogs and such take any weight, while also having it feel good and make sense

[calm widget]

hmm

@gray dock maybe one of his moons

[remote aspen]

I had a run on Etern recently where some giants spawned, I thought they worked very well on that map personally

[fast jacinth]

Petah, the giants are here.

[hard zephyr]

giant home planet moon with multiple different biomes fitting each giant 👀

[delicate lynx]

Once a redwood spawned on my Black Mesa run. It was really fun to finally get rid of those driftwoods!

[delicate lynx]

I thought driftwoods attacked other entities too?

[ebon thistle]

oh yeah, right

forgot they did

[delicate lynx]

We have a super agressive giant, and a chill leg day giant.

we need a small goblin giant

and a fat giant

and my llife will be complete

sounds like ur life is kinda like 50% complete

driftwood giant keeps yeet-ing us through the floor and into the facility ;_;

[dim hull]

oh that's so weird that the rain persists too

I understand why but huh

[radiant heath]

yeah and how it doesnt throw u straight it like, orbits you around the giant lol

[dim hull]

yeah it definitely feels like once those guys spot you they just, get you like there's nothign you can do from that point

[radiant heath]

yeah which im honestly ok with bc they arent especially lethal unless you're nearby a cliff

[dim hull]

perhaps, seems like it could be annoying tho

[radiant heath]

you can survive them with the near-death health regen u get which is nice so as long as you're patient and heal up before approaching you have a good shot at making it through eventually

[calm widget]

do you have model replacement api downloaded?

i believe i do nottttt let me check

I will try and see the results

[delicate lynx]

Okay sorry

[near portal]

An interior giant variation

[calm widget]

Not in the works sadly

[hollow night]

CutieFly is the best monster in this mod

hands down

[copper lava]

Isn't that Code:Rebirth?

[hollow night]

see now

you must be talking about ButteflyObj

[forest mulch]

it's called both cutie fly and butterfly in rebirth

[crimson wedge]

Does anyone have any recommended spawn rates foe the giants?

or is it best to keep on default

[hollow night]

If you have multiple types of giants in the same place (especially if redwoods are in that mix), set the other giants that you don’t want as the default for that moon as rarer than the one you really want to spawn there

[hollow night]

Also make sure to limit their max spawns

I kinda learned that the hard way when i let all 3 giants have equal spawn rates on etern

Redwood ate basically all of them

And since i didn’t set a limit, and the mod did it for me, there were like 4 driftwoods all over the place

So it was just chaos with me needing to stand on top of one of the cactuses to avoid getting ganked

[crimson wedge]

So what values do you recommend?

[old mist]

@calm widget View distance of the driftwood giant

Whether it can be configured or weakened

[placid palm]

is lethal quantities not compatible with this?? the giant variants dont seem to be controlled by LQ and their own config is the only thing working

is there a way to make LQ overide it?

[calm widget]

Pretty sure it can

[calm widget]

Dunno

[coral veldt]

from my testing it works with LQ the redwood is called drift wood but thats the only issue

[frail nexus]

bro this mod made eyeless dogs like an actual endangered species compared to mangroves which you see everywhere lol

[calm widget]

eyeless dogs kill driftwoods 9 times out of 10 lol

[past breach]

Personally I've deleted the additional spawn chance of more giants spawn and reduce a bit there spawn weight

i got so robbed on this tierlist

(mostly /j but COME ON)

[amber parrot]

In any case, that tier list based on the categories does not convince me.

The A is "decent"

Since A is going to be decent, it has to be something like "very good/excellent/whatever."

And then S tier is insane. XD

[ebon thistle]

I gotta make a tierlist ngl

[feral cipher]

Yea they didn’t use the newest version of siren head either.

[hardy yacht]

Viperian sold

[calm widget]

No idea why he's allergic to giving my mod a shot

[rocky sparrow]

Just watched this, IMO was a pretty bad tierlist video because it barely showed the enemies

[opal wing]

Havent had a chance to watch but ima bet he missed A TON of enemies

[rocky sparrow]

yeah, Toilet Leech was missing smh

[opal wing]

Total covered? I got like 40 rn and there ia def more that I skipped on

[rocky sparrow]

but yeah it was only them talking so it was annoying when they talked about some stuff but didn't actually like show how it would look like in the game with sounds when talking about the sound design being good

[opal wing]

Im guessing fiend was s tier XD

[rocky sparrow]

it was just the 5th best rated mod :3

on A tier

[opal wing]

Vip doesnt know shit about the community

[dim hull]

Yeah viperian videos go soft as hell

[terse wedge]

uhh is anyone else having issues with the giants not spawning at all

[remote aspen]

Yeah it was a questionable list at best

[calm widget]

Not afaik

[fast jacinth]

Honestly i feel that a portion of the mods on this tier list got robbed.

[lost void]

Try deleting your config and reinstall the mod, we had that issue and it fixed ours.

[terse wedge]

Alright I’ll try that

[plucky dome]

Lemme guess, without even watching the vid I assume he put Walker in S tier

[calm widget]

i think so lol

[plucky dome]

I think Walker is beyond awful, its playstyle really doesnt fit LC

Its basically the SCP-106 old man with the pocket dimension which is more annoying if you’re trying to get out fast or on a time crunch

And its walking animation sucks

I would guess he also put Locker in S tier which is okay, a lot of people like it but hasn’t really been my thing

The mod I’ve been having the most fun with recently is CursedScraps

[dim hull]

Locker at least is more honest to the LC enemy design style

[plucky dome]

Yeah, it’s more interesting having a neutral enemy that could also be manipulated to your advantage

[dim hull]

One straightforward mechanic, gives you a second chance if you're sick with it, makes use of the long hallways

And that yeah

At least deserves A tier imo

[plucky dome]

Theres a two minute video that covers all its mechanics, its able to bust down doors and stuff iirc

[dim hull]

At least in relation to its peers

[wise coral]

its a shame that the redwood plushie growl is client sided

[calm widget]

I'll fix it next update

Just don't forget to make a github issue for it

Otherwise I'll forget lol

[delicate lynx]

What is the next giant y’all working on

[opal wing]

most likely the cactus giant since its the last one from the og cactus giant(but this mod is on break rn)

[delicate lynx]

Nice

On break for how long

[opal wing]

not sure as the dev is working on other mods

The port of immersive scrap

[delicate lynx]

Immersive scrap?

[opal wing]

Lethal things LLL port(some day)

Code: Rebirth

[opal wing]

name of a mod they worked on

they ported it to v50

[delicate lynx]

What?

[opal wing]

how did you not put together these are the names of the other mods I said they are working on

[delicate lynx]

Autism

[opal wing]

lol

[delicate lynx]

Like actual fucking autism

No /j

What is code rebirth ?

[opal wing]

general content mod, no 1 main theme

[stark elk]

in the config shouldn't Artifice and Embrion be ArtificeLevel and EmbrionLevel?

[limpid whale]

Nope, they count as custom moons as far as LL is concerned XD

It's strange

[stark elk]

guh??
