    That mod is awesome.

    Turrets target it, though, and my 2k dmg turret seems to even damage it sometimes.

    Interesting, the stuffed monsters are on the player's team... I thought that would make turrets and captive monsters ignore them. Better look at how those things choose aggro. Though on the plus side, the stuffed monsters still can't be killed by taking damage.

    Code:
      --Gets all valid npc targets + all monsters
      local npcIds = world.entityQuery(getBasePosition(), self.targetRange, { includedTypes = {"npc"} })
      local monsterIds = world.entityQuery(getBasePosition(), self.targetRange, { includedTypes = {"monster"} })
    
    Basically, it targets anything that is not a player.

    A surprising oversight! Nothing to be done here then. But having a room full of turrets blasting at a boss forever is kinda cool in its own way.

    Found a bug. If the Apex Brain Mutant (wheelchair monkey) is interacted with enough, its body disappears and arm just floats there, which corrupts whatever location it is placed in. You can't access the planet/ship that it's placed on if you get the floating arm.

    Excellent Mod! I'm currently working on a personal mod that allows players to sell certain things (crops, seeds, liquids, Bugs in jars etc.). As it turns out, you can also sell filled capture pods for 25 pixels each ( prices subject to change). Unfortunately I can only capture "SmallBipeds" and "SmallQuadrupeds". But that's where your mod comes along! Now I am able to "Capture" all the other creatures and sell them as well. However they all fall under one category, So no matter what type of creature it is, it sells for a fixed price. I would like to be able to differentiate the type of monster for a different price, but I understand you are busy, and the last thing I wanna do is demand for features in a mod ahaha.

    Essentially I have two questions:

    1) Do you have any plans in the future to diversify the trophies based on the type of creature killed? As in would you have a separate trophy category for "LargeBipeds" and a separate trophy category for "SmallBipeds"?

    2) Do you have any idea how to set it so I can use a capture pod and capture the other creatures that arent "SmallBiped" and "SmallQuadruped"?

    Thanks for taking the time to read! :up:

    No plans, breaking the object itself up into categories wouldn't give me any use. Just more ways to go wrong.

    The way monsters interact with capture pods is baked into their ai scripts. A monster must be using both "groundMonster.lua" and "capturepod.lua". There's several monster that use the former, but only two - smallbiped and smallquadruped - that use the latter. You could make any groundMonster.lua monsters fully capturable by patching "capturepod.lua" into their "scripts" entry I think: species like largebiped, minibossbiped, serpentdroid and poptop. You'd have to look at the monster files and try it out.

    Another bloody brilliant mod......well done. I have to say that at the moment you're one of the most creative modders around......can't wait to see what other tricks you've got up your sleeves.

    So here's something fun, I you kill the penguin mech or dreadwing, you actually will get a stuffed version of them. Stuffed bosses=Epic fireplace decoration. If only they fit.

    Not sure if it's happening to anyone else, but I get a second empty base plate if I uproot the trophy.
