The mod is outdated and does not work, please remove it.

Does this still work? Had no idea the "improved" husk mod removed these.

Thanks for mod.

Mod author said he did this in a discord discussion, not a big deal but just putting the info out there

Removing vanilla husk behaviour is not listed on the mod page or the guide.

You call this a bug but this removal of water breathing and pressure immunity was intentional by the mod developer

So I changed the bit at the end to look like this
causespeechimpediment="true"
sendmessages="true"
needsair="false"
crushdepth="-Infinity">
<Effect minstrength="0" maxstrength="75" maxvitalitydecrease="0" strengthchange="0.35"/>
<Effect minstrength="75" maxstrength="100" maxvitalitydecrease="0" strengthchange="0.35" tag="huskinfected"/>

So when you are above 75 infection and have changed you are now pressure immune by the affliction changing your pressure immunity to -infinity.

I implemented these changes in my forked version of the Improved Husks Mod.

However I removed Calyx injectors and made husk infection slower closer to base game and nerfed the microtern.

@Draconis,
The only change this mod includes is on the end of line 7 of Afflictions.xml

Original:
causespeechimpediment="false" sendmessages="false" needsair="true">

Changed:

It's been a couple months since I played, but it reverted husk behaviour to mostly vanilla. (Husk infection still rapidly occurs like the mod though.)

The Symbiotic Calyx injector is effectively a cheat item with an absurdly time intensive procedure with RNG to get embryos. It used to be bugged 4 months ago where a single unstable egg could spawn upwards of 7 cocoons due to the tick rate spawn bug. Now you get 1 on a 5% chance and it bogs the server down. I copied this over to my forked version of improved Husks but it does not stop the pressure issue. I am going line by line now trying to do a fix and I think I found it in effects will let you know how testing goes.

Improved husks negates the skill in the acolyte job mod that gives a chance to get husk gen material on kill. This mod makes that skill useful again. Very good.

This actually isn't a bug! Improved Husks replaced Husk Genes with an item called "symbiotic calyx injector", you get this by using the unstable husk eggs on any already huskified creature which spawns a mutated creature that drops an embryo on death. You use the embryo + a calyx injector (ruin drop) + a blood pack.
