Parasitic Slugcat [0.4.762]

Description
mod is now deprecated because new version in other mod (won't be given content updates anymore but will still be available (and maybe given compat updates), especially since the new one is unfinished)
the remake: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3504376213

(no story btw just slug)
(also creature lock does support ascending (not in the creature that is), but guardians wont let you pass)

Introduces a slugcat that has the ability to control creatures, as well as eat as them. Uses safari mode controls (more prominent creatures have modified controls), with a few changes to make controlling certain creatures marginally easier

WARNING! This mod heavily modifies various things like creatures, most notably Lizards, Vultures, Scavengers, and Centipedes! This mod in general is very invasive, and may cause unwanted crashes even in normal gameplay! (incase you find any, please throw them into the bugs discussion)

Hibernation art made by someone named Classick, many thanks to them

Everything (by that i mean the important stuff) on how to do stuff is told to you through in-game tutorial text, look out for them!

However, if you happen to miss them, read this info dump instead

the info dump:
  • While inside a creature den, hold Map to attempt hibernation
  • If you wanna move farther using a creature pipe, hold Jump while entering to move to the farthest pipe relative to the pipe you're entering, as opposed to the nearest
  • If required, you can transfer food between your host and yourself, and vice versa. To do so, hold Map + Throw to transfer food between your host and yourself, or hold Map + Jump to instead transfer food to your host
  • To exit a creature, hold Pick up + Jump + Map to burst out of your host.
  • Vultures' flight mechanics works noticeably different than safari mode's does. Holding down makes your wings point upward, while holding up makes your wings point down. Think of it like swimming as a slugcat, rhythmically flap your wings as such to fly properly.
  • To boost yourself as a Vulture, press Jump + Pick up to initiate the Vulture's thrusters, the set activated depends on your input direction
  • Vultures have a unique way of moving between rooms. Instead of using pipes, it uses the sky. Due to some limits, it has been limited to a simple room picker that looks like the dev tools text. Use movement keys to switch modes or change rooms (limited by whether the room has an open sky or not, and if the room connects to the room you were initially in), and press Map to fly to a room or to do the action told by the text.


Controls are also shown in the control map, assuming you don't have a mod that hides it and that it works correctly

Currently no active development (or so infrequent it may as well be none), but I'm still keeping an eye out for bugs, keep reporting them

P.S. no translations!!!
Also there are notable changes to things such as controls of certain creatures and their damage dealt / taken

P.S.(2) there is bug that seemingly occurs randomly per-game session where certain inputs are inaccessible for an unknown reason
if you encounter this bug please report it with as much information as possible, however if you do encounter it, as a temporary fix, just restart ur game (unknown if it works, may appear again if it does tho)

Now it finally works and this is good news! However it softlocks at karma gates rn, i tried checking if it was caused by incompatible mods but Idk it is the case, I'll drop the exception log in the bugs section and I'll just use the Warp menu while waiting for the bug to be fixed

so i tried updating for 1.5 but slugbase error :steamthumbsup:
i'll be releasing a patch for 1.5, but it likely wont function properly until slugbase itself updates (i can't test it until then)

@starqueen It's really a shame that this mod is basically dead now, since you can't use it anymore (even by removing the watcher dlc), the og parasite is a blast..
Isn't there a way to port this version of the parasite as an alternate version to the new parasite?

Please update this at some point so its compatible with watcher 1.5 this is (in my opinion) the best rain world mod out there and it would be tragic if it dies (btw im not worried about it dying right now cause i commented this the day watcher 1.5 released)
