Ghastly Deadlands

Description
I always felt the Deadlands never truly lived up to its name. So its got acid, big deal. Pack some raingear and some snacks. I'm not worried. As far as I can tell this place is safer than the border zone!

This mod seeks to make the Deadlands ACTUALLY hazardous to life. First and foremost, by blanketing the entire region in unavoidable toxic gas. The whole biome is one gigantic kill zone to non-robots. You'll need a gas mask. Also, you'll need to find a way to protect yourself from acid too! Fun!

For the sake of keeping things vanilla such that you the user do not need to rely on other mods for full protection, I've added 10% acid resistance to turtleneck shirts. Leather, dyed, or standard, turtlenecks will give you the last bit of resistance you need to fully protect from both elements. What are the other items you ask? You figure it out.

Also:

New enemies to spice things up. This region always felt too easy in that regard too. There's big slow dumb iron spiders and uhh, more iron spiders.

Now there are scarce packs of Feral Thralls who want to beat you up and attack your base! Also one other new enemy type that's a relatively rare spawn.

Also also: The Holy Nation stationed at Narko's Trap now wear fog masks. Thanks Snappedfir!

Also also also: COMPATIBILITY PATCH FOR UWE:

Cool you also saw it! I was wondering if it was only me. Your right i never see any caravans walking by inside of deadlands. If it's vanilla behaviour what can you do? Rewrite the Ai? That takes time

@oJy found what you were talking about. Nomads and Traders like to spawn around that area and go through the deadlands. By default, in vanilla, the Deadlands and Iron Valley are already "no-go zones", places their AI is told to avoid. Plus they aren't even supposed to spawn in those biomes in the first place. This is less a problem with my mod and more a general problem with the game itself. The reason you don't find bodies everywhere in vanilla is that acid is a lot less dangerous than gas. I could scale down the dps of the gas but where is the fun in that.

is there anyway for me to patch the fog out, its actually hideous and I can't see anything, I have to rely on the outline shader effect just to see things

If it's any help - i encountered the caravan west of eyesocket slave camp on the way to deadlands.

Mate, i am telling you, i only have visual mods. It must be vanilla caravan behaviour.

Ah that sucks, your an android with s number now

@oJy to be frank i've never seen a trade caravan travel through the deadlands on vanilla or while testing this mod so i dont know what to tell you. i could scrub through everything to see if the caravans do indeed travel in this region but again i never encountered that in vanilla or in testing. maybe its one of your other mods.

oh and i chose an awesome name but the redditors on here all reported it so now im stuck with this long list of numbers

Author i don't know why you chose such a awful name.. i can't copy it on phone. Anyway, it was a traders caravan they all died so i uninstalled it. The only overhaul mod i have that could change the Ai is reactive world. But reactive world doesen't change caravan behaviour at all. It only makes the Ai react to events such as hive queen being kidnapped.

@oJy youll have to be more specific. afaik there shouldnt be any npcs who enter this region of the game without protection. maybe it was an npc from another mod you have installed?
