I kinda saw it as the opposite

Rend was the mansion moon, kinda like a tutorial for them and then dine and titan were allowed to be a little more strange

such as having more traps

I mean in the mainstream sense, yeah

Only LC videos getting over 100k views now are from big channels with loyal viewer bases

#

but I saw a great lc video today that's like 2 weeks old

#

tbf it doesn't have too many views

#

but i've been seeing a ton of lc content comin' out as of late

#

idk why

#

also one from 4 weeks ago (72 sub channel šŸ˜”)

#

so you are right, lol

#

BUT there is still good content coming out , believe it or not

mint eagle
#

Oh yeah the content is still great

#

But usually ā€œdeadā€ just refers to popularity

tame pelican
#

which is stupid! and should never be used as a valuable metric for most things

#

niche communities are fucking goated

mint eagle
#

Welcome to the internet

tame pelican
#

i would know im dr minecraft

gentle plover
#

Yeah sadly the term dead has like bad connotations to it. But it doesnt always mean that in a bad way, there hasnt been all that much lethal content releasing lately, and since repo came out, many people play that game over this one. The game is great and the content is too, its just unfortunatelly cooked.

#

Hopefully it has a comeback when zeekers releases a big update

mint eagle
#

When the ending comes out I bet it will make a bit of a comeback

#

Everberon’s lore videos do pretty well view-wise so there clearly is interest in that

gentle plover
#

Yeah

#

Lets hope

still oracle
#

WHAT

#

legitimately

#

this is the first time i have ever seen lethal company used in a content farm

mint eagle
#

I wonder what the Eyeless Dog and Ghost Girl models are ripped from, those are clearly not the actual designs

#

Eyeless Dog could be SCP 939

still oracle
#

you say that like the coil-head is the actual design

#

its not fully right

mint eagle
#

Yeah but there is no mistaking what it is

#

Ghost Girl looks like a bad DVloper model

Whats funny there are 1.20.1 lethal company mods but they are not good

manic helm
#

they're not good because there's no cabinet in them

real falcon

probably made in mcreator or some other crap

#

@cinder hawk youll never believe it but i found an issue with the cabinet just now

#

if you kill it while its shaking, the growling noise doesnt stop

remote otter
#

me trying to hear the image

still oracle
#

i want to also suggest that if the cabinet drops the extension ladder from too much weight then the ladder gets popped out

#

this may sound stupid but apparently hoarding bugs make the ladder pop out

#

if they pick it up and drop it

split rampart
#

does microwave spin bug work on the cabinet

still oracle
#

it wouldnt because you have to hold E on the cabinets top

#

items dont get parented for dropping on it

split rampart

#

moar pls

#

Yeah been a bug since testing it seems

#

I guess there hasnt been a fix found

still oracle
#

oh

still oracle
manic helm
#

Yeah the cabinet can just kill you remotely seemingly at random I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be fixed

cosmic ore
#

ooohhhh thats bad

#

is it an incompatibility?

#

or just on its own?

manic helm
#

@cinder hawk why does it do that

tame pelican
#

no distance check maybe?

manic helm
#

it doesn't do that always... .

severe iris
#

Yeah we had it happen many times while testing, we fixed one edge case of it doing that but I guess something else is causing it

cinder hawk
#

also you shouldn't look at it like this anwyway but yea

cinder hawk
# still oracle

nooooo dont show him gambling hes gonna get... ugh... addicted

manic helm
#

thgats why jack needs to rewrite the dang bestiary

#

and i don't think it's really mentioned in the mod description so maybe i should do that

severe iris
#

And you need to give me proper sound direction greed

remote otter
#

Can i ask

#

Who made the animations for the cabinet?

manic helm
gentle plover
#

Vat

manic helm
#

you

remote otter
#

Hiiii

#

Your work is amazing omg

#

Idk if its a combination of animation and code but they work perfectly

#

Makes it go the next step

still oracle
#

yes the animations are very good

#

i love how expressive the arm movement is

#

it feels like a creepy ghoul

#

and thats a good thing

remote otter
#

Like i mean the animations are great enough to feel like they are part of the game

#

Like

#

Lots of other enemy mods but none of them have like thst level

#

And from what ive been seeing it does have to do with the animation

#

Also im not saying the other mods are bad pls dont take it wrong

#

Its just like, this enemy its in a complete other level

#

Same with locker

still oracle
#

the cabinet is by far the closest modded monster to zeekerss' own style
even compared to the locker, its got some pretty jarring audio and visual effects
and like, yeah they work for the model, but the only thing similar is the old bird, which has in game lore explanations for those design choices, and also ties into their mechanics
i guess this does also for the locker to be more suddenly jarring, but its too loud and flashy imo

#

the only thing about the cabinet is the jester already exists and i dont know if zeekerss would make or consider two "box enemies" existing together

manic helm
#

they're not really hte same though

still oracle
#

and yeah i know thats all really nitpicky

#

but thats the thing about zeekerss' creationism style

#

it is so fucking specific

#

and genuinely, really hard to get down right

still oracle
#

but like still

#

theyre both boxes

manic helm
#

if anythign they're opposites

#

one reveals itslef and kills you other doesnt' want to be seen and kills you

remote otter
#

Locker also is amazing but just because is a bit simple in like overall mechanic i can understand why it isnt AS zeekers style

molten flint
#

and the peepers?

#

mimics one time I thought it was a vanilla enemy

remote otter
#

those 2 are also extremely good but simple in nature

#

mimics dont work in most places either

#

and peepers are amazing but tulip snakes are also a thing

still oracle
#

idek why he wanted to kill it here

#

not exactly a moon that it would get hit while fighting something else

gentle plover
#

I appreciate it. Thank you very much

#

The coding was done by @cinder hawk

slender halo
#

Our art skills have regressed so much due to not having properly drawn in a year but whatever. take cabinet

severe iris
#

love the cat one

slender halo
#

Roaming locusts and circuit bees too

mint eagle
#

That’s not the same thing

#

We are used to there being different specifies of insects that look kinda similar, meanwhile two fictional enemies with very similar designs may stick out as being repetitive

still oracle
#

roaming locusts and circuit bees use the exact same model, but thats understandable because a normal person wouldnt bother to closely inspect the model of them, especially since they are small in game, the only difference is one is red (circuit)

#

and yeah like adjective said, its not that there cant be multiple of a specific genus

#

its just that the cabinet and the jester are both boxes
thats literally it

#

they both dont have natural origins, they just exist as weird vaguely human-like limbs that inhabit a box

#

and thats not really a problem per-se, but in the context of if zeekerss made both, he would probably only use one

#

every monster has a very distinct model and design choices, except for roaming locusts and circuit bees using the same model

#

but i gave the explanation why this particular case doesnt matter as much

#

the jester and the cabinet are very big standouts and since every other monster has unique attributes to their appearance, two monsters that are human-like limbs hiding inside a box isnt very likely to exist in pure vanilla

#

another nitpick actually
every vanilla "manor enemy" is either a toy turned into horror, or a full human figure that has unnatural properties, and the nutcracker is technically both

#

zeekerss hasnt made fake furniture or fake walls or anything that would be part of the building itself as a monster

#

i still love the cabinet regardless, i just dont think it would exist as a zeekerss creation

#

his focus on monsters is more so that they would be their own separate objects from that of whatever building you are in

#

if he were to create a monster that is trying to blend in with the building, it would have to either change its appearance based on the interior, or every interior has to have one of the same prop

#

probably at least

#

i suppose every interior has a cardboard box actually so i guess fuck me and kill me and shoot me also

cinder hawk
#

oh boi

#

like we say here :
il a fait un pĆ¢tĆ© šŸ„–

still oracle
#

i know what this says guys trust

real falcon
#

It looks like a cat in the drawings so It’s funny to imagine it like a cat bringing in a dead mouse or something

still oracle
#

then thats like

#

idk

#

i feel like that should be one of its goals

#

i mean the bestiary entry literally describes it as doing such

#

it gets mad if you see its real self

manic helm
#

That's not the bestiary entry

still oracle
#

what

#

thats
a separate point

manic helm
#

Because that's not supposed to be part of it
It's not a mimic
Not in lore
Not in gameplay

still oracle
#

that is a bit baffling to me im not gonna lie

#

you have the design and behavior set up in a way like its meant to fool you

#

maybe not 100%, sure

#

but like
so much about the cabinet screams that

#

no pun intended btw

manic helm
#

because following uncomfortably closely behind you and getting pissed if you don't play along with its game is very secretive

real falcon
#

I mean the first few times I’ve seen people find it blind they didn’t even pay any attention to it until it moved

manic helm
real falcon
#

So it’s a mimic until you learn what to look for; which is almost every mimic ever

still oracle
#

then wdym thats not a goal of the cabinet

#

if youre describing how it fools you
how is that not meant to be what it does primarily

manic helm
#

That was sarcasm

manic helm
#

The cabinet is like the most obnoxious thing ever it's not fooling anyone because it's not trying to

#

It's too stupid for that

still oracle
#

then why does it have mechanics to suggest otherwise

#

it doesnt start following players until they pass by it enough

#

it hides back in its shell like its trying to pretend it never moved

manic helm
#

Because it doesn't like it when people look at it

manic helm
still oracle
#

that is a thing

#

idk the exact number you have to pass it but i know that is a thing

manic helm
#

It doesn't follow if it's being LOOKED AT

still oracle
#

alternatively interact with the doors and it instantly starts following you

#

i do mean pass it without keeping watch btw

#

that is how its functioned in my experience since the first day i tried

manic helm
#

Oh right
I think it might be because of the line of sight thing

#

If you DON'T look at it in the first place it won't follow you

#

For no cabinet surprises

#

Maybe the check for that is being weird

#

Basically it tries to make sure you saw that it's there before starting to follow you

still oracle
#

its probably bugged then

#

btw good time to mention the cabinet chases non-host clients differently

#

its almost like its slower

#

from whatever the set chase speed is

manic helm
#

I don't know why that would happen

still oracle
#

well thats probably zeekerss fault more

#

there is a fuck ton of non-host client differences for how monsters move and behave

#

because of networking jank

manic helm
still oracle
#

and the extremeity depends on regional difference

#

this also effects various other things like the inventory status of yourself but its mostly noticable for monsters

#

masked will slide a bit more after being hit

#

barbers slide forwards a bit after hopping

#

old birds can see you while flying if youre crouched

#

yes, theyre not supposed to be able to

#

the game does not properly mark non-host clients as crouched normally

#

this is fixed in additionalnetworking

manic helm
still oracle
#

bracken also aggros faster for non-host because the status of where they are looking or standing is lagging behind from host

#

and so, so, so many more fuckass issues

still oracle
#

i fucking HATE dealing with that shit

molten flint
#

I thought barberfixes fixed that

still oracle
#

no

#

networking issues are an entire different can of worms

still oracle
#

oh yeah forgot to say

#

your art is definitely still good idk wtf youre talking about

molten flint
#

If I put the cabinet on Spawnable interior enemies will work?

still oracle
#

whar

#

oh

#

if via content configuration thing that is not LLL, yes

#

idk if it overrides the cabinet config weight string or combines it

#

unless you use centralconfig in which case it does override but you probably dont

slender halo
#

Is there a reason why cabinets don’t like being looked at or are they just weird like that

#

In general, a mod like Monster Plushies could heavily benefit from an update. It does not even feature the fox, butler, barber and so on, which is a shame honestly

there exists teasers of an old bird and tulip snake plush

#

but they never got fully implemented

#

no idea what the dev is up to either

mortal trench
#

In the next update, could spawn weights be added to demonmaes moons?

remote otter
#

Cant you add them yourself?

#

Like, in the meantime

#

Its not easy to add weights so if you can provide weights yourself it would be really appreciated :3

mortal trench
#

I could yeah, it's not that big of a issue. It's just a bit weird that there isn't spawn weights for demonmaes out of the box.

mortal trench
#

Got a pretty busy schedule so I might not post them today, but I'll see what I can do

remote otter
#

Would be crazy to add specific weights for every single moon

#

Ways to go about that is Vanilla: and Custom: that will give a global weight for every moon

#

@manic helm look, you must now decide about the stun multipler

mortal trench

Not sure where leubes got 7.5 seconds from

The only way any entity would be stunned for 7.5 seconds is if they had a multiplier of 1.5

thats probably where they got it from

🤨 šŸ“ø

cinder hawk
#

I have problem

#

My "friend" is too busy playing world of tanks that he won't help me test the mod

#

I need to see what give the best results for the stun mechanic and doing so in solo doesn't give full informations

#

And testing stuns is borderline impossible alone with multiple instances of the game

#

We could redo like we did last time but in order to avoid language barrier between me and you (whoever you are) id have to write in chat

#

(i already have somewhat difficulties in my own language because i have a little stuttering + often have to find my words and so it way worse in another language)

#

(+ my accent that is apparently hard to listen to ;_; )

still oracle
#

im bad at hearing french accents in general

#

no offense

i can try to have a better accent but ill have to prepare sentence in my head first and then speak slowly

@still oracle i back

still oracle
#

sorry im playing

cinder hawk
cinder hawk
#

is okay i found new friends

#

is working better

#

just a tiny bug

cinder hawk
#

@manic helm I think im done with the new features, i even fixed the long lasting bug that made the cabinet kill you from afar

#

i only need you to give me the values you want for the stuns length and difficulty

cinder hawk
#

and the difficulty is for the zapgun, i believe every mob have 1

still oracle
#

i think
15 seconds is good
or x2

still oracle
#

theres a lot above one and a lot below one

cinder hawk
#

oh okay

still oracle
#

the highest is the giant sapsucker with x1.6

cinder hawk
#

right now for testing purpose it was set to 0.1 which made it so the zapgun never changed the dirrection to pull to

mortal trench
#

I think I've mentioned it here before

#

So if you want to set it to 15 seconds, you need to set it to a 3x

cinder hawk
#

and also from my experience

#

i logged the duration of the stuns, it said 7.491656...

mortal trench
#

Wait, lemme check this in imperium

#

@cinder hawk Okay, so I checked it, and enemies with 1x multipliers do actually have a stun time of 7.5 seconds, but also the wiki I was using was wrong

#

Fuck me and my dumbass brain I guess

#

Sorry for spreading misinfo

fffffffffffffffffffffffffff

bestiary? what's that

still oracle
#

wtf i like the bestiary though

manic helm
cinder hawk
#

1.10.1

  • Updated bestiary entry
#

oopsy

still oracle
#

because a lot of people just dont read the bestiary entries of anything

#

i bet some people dont even know the bestiary exists

#

because lethal company "doesnt provide enough information"

#

it does btw

#

this is a completely false statement

#

people just dont fucking care to actually read shit

#

the clipboard tells you a lot

#

and then the terminal tells you more

#

its genuinely not hard to learn how the game works, its just people dont fucking read

#

legitimately i think the bigger problem is how fast the cabinet begins aggro by default

#

its 2 seconds

#

for one, thats really aggressive
but more importantly, if it was like, 8, then players can more easily pick up that staring at its true form is what aggros it

#

because it starts convulsing and growling

cinder hawk
#

1.5sec*

#

but yeah, after gaming normally with it a bit, i too think its kinda fast

the longer it does it, the more time players get to process thats what aggros it

8 is a bit much methinks

mint eagle
# still oracle this is a completely false statement

It is not completely false.

LC does provide adequate information to help new players, but that does not mean it could still be better about communication. The importance of the clipboard or terminal is not made apparent at all, and in game design needing less reading to understand the mechanics is considered good practice (see the FNaF fangames that make you read a college thesis before each night).

Making things more apparent to players is not even that hard.:

  • The ship loudspeaker could say ā€œconsult the trailing clipboard for more informationā€ in the opening monologue for a new save
  • Terminal defaults to the command list page rather than its current home screen when you open it so you see the available commands
  • When you can an enemy for the first time, the ā€œcreature data sent to terminalā€ message could also mention the bestiary

Lethal Company in general is good about making the game intuitive enough for you to get by without reading up, but like everything there is always room for improvement.

Idk man, the instruction manual was like one of the first things I found

#

Literally when I joined my first ever lobby, shortly after we landed I was already reading it

still oracle
#

it is genuinely just a personal problem that unfortunately a lot of people have when they pick up this game

#

im not expecting high IQ geniuses to play

#

but im also not expecting the game to flash giant red arrows so i know what to do

#

the game provides enough info for a player to learn how to play
its just a lot of people who buy it dont ever see that info

molten flint
#

nutcracker bestiary cof

still oracle
#

yes
the nutcracker bestiary is the only in game text thats fucked

severe iris
mint eagle
#

I just think that if it is so widespread then it stops being a user issue after a while. Zeekerss added those new player pop-ups so clearly he had this issue in mind

mint eagle
split rampart
#

i would assume the home screen is both a way to reduce information overload, and to just be a welcoming way to transition into the UI

still oracle
#

its also immersive because a real life terminal computer would behave this way when its turned on initially

#

the employees always turn it off

mint eagle
#

I don’t buy the information overload part when you have a 5 page clipboard

still oracle
#

its not overloading though

mint eagle
#

Surely players can handle a list of like 4 commands

still oracle
#

the hardest part about it is looking to the top right to see you have to press Z
and then moving your camera with the model

split rampart
mint eagle
#

Well that’s why I’m saying information should be conveyed through other means too

split rampart
still oracle
#

even then its really not a ton of text

mint eagle
#

It’s more about the language than the volume to me. I get the company is cryptic and all, but you’d think they would provide more precise instructions to employees. If you like immersion it would be realistic to have more precise instructions

#

You look at irl employee handbooks and they are pretty cut and dry besides legal stuff

split rampart
#

i do like how they sometimes give you either incorrect information or misleading non-information, that was a pretty charming part of the early experience to me and added onto the feeling of "this company is so dogshit everything they provide to us sucks"

mint eagle
#

Well it comes at the expense of the new player experience arguably. If you like getting trolled then fair enough, but I have a feeling a lot of us here do not

#

I bet the cryptic/wrong instructions were part of why hoaxes were so rampant in the game’s first year

split rampart
#

yesss

mint eagle
#

Whether hoaxes are fun or frustrating is up to you

split rampart
#

in my opinion that was one of the coolest things about the game

still oracle
#

i only have a problem with the nutcracker bestiary of all text in game

split rampart
#

i hadn't experienced playground rumors for games like that since... actual playground rumors

still oracle
#

every other bestiary describes at least a basic idea of how to survive monsters with no equipment

mint eagle
#

I personally liked it too

still oracle
#

nutcrackers dont since somewhere inbetween v50 and v55

#

and its just like
why

mint eagle
split rampart
#

it was removed in v50 i think

mint eagle
#

The one bad change of v50

real falcon
#

Is there any known counter to the cabinet? It'd be cool if you wrote it down somewhere in game

#

or added some visual/audible cue of whats triggering it

remote otter
#

I almost replied to this

severe iris
#

Okay well you didnt actually reply to anything, i take no whooshes for that greed

remote otter
#

I was able to stop myself before sending the message xD

severe iris
#

Two whole ass days after the discussion ended

severe iris
#

But anyway, the clipboard doesn't even have that much actual text. Parts of it are purely flavor text, and a lot can be inferred just from playing the game.

And that's besides the fact it's perfectly accurate to the game's theme

#

Since you start in orbit, you also have plenty of time to learn the controls in peace

still oracle
#

what if i dont know how to buy the game in the first place

twilit scroll
#

also, interesting that red means biological matter

#

might just be inconsistent since traps have it

severe iris
#

Probably just an inconsistency yeah

twilit scroll
#

probably why ghost girl cant be scanned

#

Since ghost

severe iris
#

clipboard was likely written before traps were added so yeah

twilit scroll
#

also intriguing since the ship goes to different moons and therefore moves further away

#

so shouldnt that make nearby planets cheaper and previously free moons expensive?

still oracle
#

its referring to the center monitor pips

#

which is funny because
its unupdated to mention scrap is pink now
scrap was never green as most people thought

split rampart
still oracle
#

i think when zeekerss wrote it he got a little sprazy in his mouth and his brain was a little wacky zany

lyric sonnet
#

idk if this is something on my end but the cabinet lacks the fuck out of the game when they spit me out

#

im not sure if this is because of imperium but it happens

why is the particle count 500

@harsh tendon @lyric sonnet those are the default value because it didnt cause any lag under most circonstances

#

but i do remember it had lag issue with lethal quantity

do you guys tried to see if it still cause lags when having not other mod on (beside dependencies ofc) ?

I mean LQ is dead as of v73 so not that big of a deal

lyric sonnet

If it works it works

mint eagle

Ah my bad

#

I heard it had kicked the bucket

remote otter
#

perople who still use it say lots of things

#

that some things are broken, others that everything works

#

idk, i had my issues with it back in v69

lyric sonnet
#

im honestly praying that LQ doesn't break

#

i use tha shi to re-rank kast and artifice to P and i do not want to learn centralconfig

still oracle
still oracle
#

that is
not where moons are

#

its easier because you dont have to use an entire different website to generate the files youd then need to transfer into your mod profile

#

that was always the thing about LQ that threw it off for me

lyric sonnet
still oracle
#

isnt something thats convenient in this context easier

#

like especially if youre doing active heavy changes to what spawns on each moon

#

if its not just how you want it

#

you gotta go back to the website

#

generate entire new files

#

then import those new files

#

and even then it may not be right still for you

lyric sonnet
#

i feel like LQ is less convient but easier to use due to the website providing more basic visuals so it isn't confusing

#

but the others are quicker to get to but harder to understand

remote otter
# still oracle generate entire new files

that doesnt really make lots of sense tbh, its just one more step, and thats just if you added smth big, since LQ saves your last file in the website so its not that far off from using mod manager to config

#

if having to open a folder once being considered unconvenient then having to open the config files should also be unconvenient

#

in that case just doing stuff inside of lethal without having to restart it every time you make a significant chage would be the best option, which it isnt possible so idk

#

dont really see the issue

There is something else which happens most of the time you encounter it, you mightve just gotten unlucky. I put it in spoilers which I dont recommend checking if you want to experience it for yourself stare
||It stands up and follows behind you. Then sits back down as a cabinet once next to you. You can put scrap on top of it and itll follow you around carrying your scrap, but if you look at it for too long while its standing then itll become aggressive. Sometimes it just doesnt follow you for some reason?||

neat elk
manic helm
#

all it does is make people die without finding out what the cabinet does

#

if they could open it to learn it's a creature and then be unable to do anything to it they'd be more likely to try to keep an eye on it before leaving it alone and actually figure out the not looking at it gimmick

manic helm
#

but DO YOU SEE THIS

#

It is a detriment to the monster's mechanics

manic helm
# cinder hawk meh... i like it tho :c

when you do that you should also chagne the anger meter and stun multiplier if you haven't alredy

jack was supposed to give you some values did he do that?

cinder hawk
#

oh yeah, he did for the stun multiplier

crimson yew
# manic helm all it does is make people die without finding out what the cabinet does

If anything this mechanic enhanced the experience for several groups im in, one group was super curious about it, tried opening it, looked at each other and started laughing, left the room and cabinet mechanica proceeded as usual. Another group im in helped realize you could place items on it by how the open trick suggested it was functional in some way

#

Plus its a real neat part of it, to mess with friends going like ooooh we're gonna open it haha

#

Almost like in early lethal company days in which people play "jester chicken" and wait by the main entrance andleave as late as they could before it got them

#

What happened in the instance with the person being confused in the cabinet seems to just be an offshoot occurrence of the cabinet not following the player after having encountered it, just sorta bugged out there ig?

#

Plus it helps communicate that if you dont keep messing with it then its basically chill, thats the whole gameplay with the cabinet

cinder hawk
#

@manic helm so... i have to make it being stun for longer, i have to "change the anger meter" do you mean make it take longer to become angry when looked at by default ?

#

and... do i really have to remove the interact feature ? :c

crimson yew
#

perceive maybe instead of completely removing it the option to have it enabled could be a config?

manic helm
cinder hawk
# manic helm yeah

for the anger meter, how much time should i add ? like 1 whole second ?

manic helm
#

how much is it right now

cinder hawk
manic helm
cinder hawk
#

oof

crimson yew
#

oh honestly these are fine changes i think these are fine

cinder hawk
#

1.12.0

Some values have been changed in the config file, you may want to regenerate it.

  • Increased the stun duration
  • Increased the time you can look at the Cabinet before it gets angry
  • Removed the feature where the Cabinet would eventually get angry after trying to open it
slender halo
#

What?? Why

#

This added so much charm to the entity

slender halo
#

The entity growls every time you attempt to open it

#

If you piss it off from that, that's entirely your fault

#

The conveys to the player completely well to not attempt that

#

Once you leave it alone, then you'll notice them beginning to follow you

#

This feels like a half-baked opinion that sapped some of the charm out of the entity

#

This is a horror/comedy game, the point of the entities upon first encounter is to figure out their gimmick without being abundantly clear (For the most part)

#

Which is why so many funny moments are made from mistakes :v

slender halo
#

The cabinet is now just an inverse coil-head with a timer

crimson yew

I hope i dont come off as pestering about this or anything since I said it earlier too, but I wish it were at least an option to have it or not. Its quirky and its a cool feature

cinder hawk

-# oh wait

# manic helm

Yeah and I thought screaming at baboons made them back off. Just because a player hasn't interacted with it doesn't mean it's a bad design choice.
If anything it reinforces the idea that it wants to be hidden.
It also makes a very clearly creature-like sound when you try to open it, so it's not even a question of the player not knowing what it is

With that said... I think v80 might have broken something, because I've encountered cabinet a few times in modpacks and he kinda just... Hasn't done anything?

#

But yeah no, I don't agree with those changes much at all

#

At 4 seconds of anger timer I'd be shocked to ever actually trigger the thing

#

And removing the opening anger is really boring too. It could have been reworked slightly if it was that big of an issue

#

Did we add the fear effect when players witness it standing? I reckon that would solve a lot of problems

#

I would say re-enable the door pulling mechanic, and put the anger Meter back at 1.5 seconds, BUT add the fear effect AND a config for it instead

manic helm
#

I mean
Is the anger really that big of a deal
You can still open it and it will do the same thing it just will never kill you

#

If anything that's closer to the baboon hawks
Screaming at them doesn't matter
Opening the cabinet doesn't matter
But it sounds angry

#

I'm pretty sure the fear effect does exist
At least when it goes murder mode

#

The reason I've decided to remove it getting mad from being opened is because this is not the first time I see someone thinking "yeah you don't open it that's all it does"

And one of those was a fricking mod showcase video bro why didn't they read the MOD DESCRIPTION

When people repeatedly don't get the monster and just give up on more experimenting I feel inclined to make it easier to figure out what the monster does

It also adds to the misconception that the cabinet is meant to be a mimic
It is not
It's not hiding it has a mechanic to make sure you've seen it before starting to follow you

I think it might actually be broken because this isn't the first time we hear about the cabinet just deciding not to follow people

manic helm
cinder hawk
#

owno please dont be broken because of v80 cibinet pluuuise

slender halo
cinder hawk
#

soooo... what do i do ?
Do i put it back ? or only with a config parameter defaulted to false ?

slender halo
#

I’d say put it back as a config option to keep best of both worlds, but the final decision is up to Vector V

teal pumice
#

In my opinion, as long as the extra mechanic isn't causing major problems that require extensive work to fix, I feel it adds that little extra charm to the monster.

severe iris
# manic helm The reason I've decided to remove it getting mad from being opened is because th...

Just because someone made a video on it that ignored literally everything else doesn't mean we gotta change it.
How many times have you seen people encounter coilhead for the first time and instantly turn to run, dying because of it?
I myself thought you had to keep looking at the bracken to ward it off the first time I played the game, and I died because of it.
There's even that one clip of Markiplier thinking a spore lizard was a thumper and panicking.

Experimentation and trial and error is a critical part of this game.
If a player sees the cabinet, touches the doors, and concludes that's all there is to it, they're setting themselves up for getting jumped later when they turn around and see it sneaking up.

manic helm
#

that still can happen

#

it just won't kill you in an annoying way

slender halo
#

Look at all of the times they've been brought outside and wiped the entire crew

#

It's an annoying death, yes, but it's funny the first time, and you learn not to do that

manic helm
#

ok that's actually a good point

slender halo
#

Same case here
