Nice-o-sphere

Description
For when you love your happy little murder-ball and want to keep it around for longer. Along with some training to help cut back on those occasional kill-everyone-on-the-map zoomies.


Options



  • Never Unstable stops Nociospheres becoming unstable
  • Always suppressible means they can be suppressed even if unstable.
  • Max Activity keeps the activity level down even without suppression
  • Frenzy Duration control how long the sphere is active when it goes on a murder-spree
  • Cooldown is how much post-murder sleep is needed
  • Don't target colonists stops Nociospheres from attacking your colonists/turrets
  • Pain aura radius lets you adjust the distance around your spheres.



FAQ


Are you insane! That's a wild entity, you can't just keep it around like a housepet!

Not with that attitude you can't.


Can this mod be added mid-playthrough?

Yes.


Can this mod be removed mid-playthrough?

Yes. I highly recommend building a strong emotional bond with your Nociosphere before doing so otherwise it will suddenly remember it was meant to go on an unstable rampage.


Why are my own turrets shooting at my pet Nociosphere when it activates?

Jealousy. Definitely not because my first attempt at changing this was a complete and utter disaster.

This mod has one of the best descriptions and header images I've seen in the history of Rimworld. XD

Question -- If you get the time, would you consider adding a new ritual so we can summon ourselves a cuddly little deathball? Mine ran away after after... enthusiastically defending... the colony from Randy's shenanigans one day, and I miss the lil' fella. (If he was worried I'd be mad about the colony's favorite couch that got vaporized, I forgive him!)

@Sukmyfukncaulk there's no way I know of to heal it (other than dev mode/cheating-type mods) but if I can figure out a way to add healing I'll do so.

How do I heal the murderball between uses?

Update 1.0.1: Never Unstable now works using an algorithm I like to call "That's a problem for tomorrow" which keeps resetting the unstable time to be 24 hours away. This is checked every 6 hours, so if you have an unstable Murderball just confirm that option is enable and wait a bit for it to calm down.

The always suppressible option was removed, since it's not needed if the sphere never becomes unstable and it would have needed convoluted re-coding to work with this new system.

I've reproduced the "becomes unstable despite the mod" issue and I'm trying to figure out how to better train the sphere - until I can fix that, use the max activity slider to keep the activity level down to avoid unwanted sphere-related slaughter.

I don't know why but this mod just isn't working for me. My loving pet nociosphere that would never hurt a housefly is not responding suppression, even though the "never unstable" and "always suppressable" options are enabled. It still progressed to becoming rabid. I don't want to have to put him down :(

Don't even have Anomaly, but I love this mod already

@DTS Thanks; fixed.
