Spat out a few errors:


The first three are because the entities are still trying to use the now-non-existent COPPER material for their currency (I changed it to PURE_COPPER on my end).

The last one is just a malformed reaction - I believe

[REAGENT:B:1:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:NONE]

should be

[REAGENT:B:1:WOOD:NONE:NONE:NONE]



Haven't actually play-tested it yet, just letting you know about the above.

I have updated the OP with more information/errors.

I'm having a hard time grokking syndrome severity.

I see several places on the forums where people are saying severities in the thousands are necessary to see any effects, but all the vanilla syndromes have severities <=100.

How exactly does one determine a "good" range for syndrome severity?

Just a thought: if I were to go through and add

[EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:BY_TYPE:UPPERBODY]
[EBO_ITEM:MEAT:NONE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:MUSCLE]

to all creature raws, that would ensure that every creature, when butchered, yields at least one piece of meat, yeah? Seems to work with my cavy experiments, anyway.



edit:doesn't work with vermin, evidently. I guess they ignore EBO stuff?

Great new everyone!

I've written a few simple, optional modules that go along nicely with my MMUP. See my main post for linkage.

Quarterblue, you will be happy to know that one of the modules reverts the egg size nerf, giving creatures their vanilla CLUTCH_SIZEs back!

Included modules:

Better Megabeasts
This module upgrades the vanilla megabeasts, without changing them drastically. Probably the biggest "flavor" change is to dragons, which now have wings and can fly. Most of the rest simply have higher skills and/or thicker skin, as well as a few extra tags. See the included readme for specifics.
NOTE: the two egg-centric modules both also contain a creature_standard.txt, which will overwrite this one. If you want to use an egg mod, install this one last. You can then either copy/paste the CLUTCH_SIZE numbers from whichever egg mod to this one, or just leave this as-is, as it won't make a huge difference really.

Standardized Plants
This module is an alternate take on the "Seasonal Crops" module from the official Modest Mod. Indoor plants can be planted all year, but take two full seasons to grow. Outdoor plants grow twice as fast as indoor plants, but not all year. Most outdoor plants grow SPRING/SUMMER/AUTUMN and die in the winter, but GOOD plants only grow in SPRING/SUMMER, and EVIL plants only in AUTUMN/WINTER.

Bones and Brains
This specific module is NOT compatible with Modest Bodies!

This is a simple MMUP-ready merge of Bone Stacks by Wannabehero and Brain Stem project by Nihilist.

Bone Stacks creates - you guessed it - more (but smaller) stacks of bones when butchering, to mitigate the entire-stack-gets-used-to-make-one-thingy bug.
BSP splits the brain into 3 parts, adding a layer of complexity to head injuries and mitigating the one-gentle-tap-kill headshot problem.

Vanilla Eggs
Requested by Quarterblue, this module simply returns egg CLUTCH_SIZEs to their vanilla values, while still retaining the rest of MMUP's changes. Incompatible (obviously) with Hard-Boiled. Install BEFORE Better Megabeasts if you use it.

Hard-Boiled - Single Eggs Only
On a suggestion from Meph, this module make ALL egg-laying creatures only lay one egg at a time. This will hurt your food production considerably if you rely on eggs, but the important thing is that it will make it significantly harder to breed legions of War Crocodiles (or whatever). Incompatible (obviously) with Vanilla Eggs. Install BEFORE Better Megabeasts if you use it.

I don't know much about graphics packs, honestly, as I don't use them. Feel free to tinker away if you like.

I believe every change (not a guarantee though) is marked with with "Igfig" or "Crypto", depending on which of us changed what.

Should be. Just overwrite. Let me know if your game explodes.


edit: but in all seriousness it should be fine. Modest bodies only alters one file that I'm pretty sure neither MM or my updated version touches.
