I find the mod enjoyable, my only issues is the incredible long casting time on some of the abilities. Example of this is summon wolves(feels kinda long for such a minor summon), big spider, demon book, scarecrow and manticore. Other than that I really enjoy this mod. Has become a part of my main mods. Running the chicken summon with cooldown reduction and targeted spells quickly becomes a massive, love it.

really enjoying this thanks for making it

The gathering action gives summoning experience. Searching for berries and firewood leveled me up pretty fast...

@SpiralRazor
Thanks for info!

summon manticore was changed the duration 1800 to 600.
also acid spit was replaced with sprint and rend.

Acid spit has no cooldown...so it just tries and spam acid spit without engaging. I deleted acid spit and replaced with poisonous bite and furious attack.

Its was the cooldown. The first thing to check was lowering the cd from 1800 to 50. The game engine wont tolerate 1800.

However, another problem has arisen. The manticore AI is not set up correctly. Ive used it 5 times now and it will simply *never* engage on anything..In point of fact, it flees battle as fast as it can.

Or i should say, its incorrect as to the behavior the manticore exhibits in game.

@Seumas
Yes, the duration can be lengthened with an amplifier.
However, it only has a duration of 2-3 seconds (lol).

SpiralRazor
thank you! yeah red ivy seems like flowermancer's one. haha.
I'll change it to something different when I have time.

Manticore summoning is buggy?　I'll look into it a bit. If I can fix it, I will.

Hiya! So...Summon Manticore seems to keep going on cooldown for no discernible reason that im able to see via the files. If you could examine the code to figure a fix, could you paste it here? I can input any change manually. Thank you!

Is there a way to increase duration of some of the summons? Can I just change/modify the 'duration' in the .json files under the /abilities folder without it crashing the game?

Red Ivy steps on floromancer a bit too much. Would be better if they just made 2 weak attacks per Ivy against targets within one square

@✠Kekard Kain✠
Great idea!
Will add it in the future.

Any plans to add the elemental to the summon list, they look like a perfect fit

Be careful...
Mods cannot be added or removed during game play on specific world.

"Fox's Research mod"
With this mod, you will be able to make paper from level 1!

@Nero XII
Adventuring level 22 unlocks Paper recipe.
Also destroys bookshelves to gain a paper.

How do I find or craft paper? I haven't seen it yet on my current character and I'm about 15 hours in.

@oldbone
It means "You can harvest crops without a sickle or a scythe"

what is "Spiritual Harvester"? I have the skill level, don't see anything...

I made this as an alternative to necromancy too. XD

Ironically that's basically what I'm using this mod for lmao. It's been a good stand-in for necromancy. Appreciate the work and thank you for making some sort of summoning skill for us to play with in the meanwhile

@Strike11B
Unfortunately...
Undead should be able to be summoned by the necromancy that will be added in the future, so I have refrained from doing so in this mod.

I like this just wish there was a undead summon

oh no
corpses cannot used as craft's material.

I will, unfortunately I cannot add mods midgame :( and I am about 35 hours into this one soooo. But once I finish my run and decide later to start a new one yours is already subbed :)

I've made some adjustments based on your input! Thanks!
I hope you'll try to play this mod! And let me know further where adjustments are needed!

Patch note
・reduced the experience gained when gathering materials.
・Changed the level required to create a book to 42.
・Added a new way to raise the level of summoning techniques using animal corpses.

@Sooner535{UFIP}
collecting resources mean Gatharing the spots where you can get food that are even on the map. like banana trees, apple trees, fruit bushes etc...
not includes mine minerals, harvest crops, fising, craft something, etc...
So I would think that casting spells would be a better way to gain exp.

I was referring to this:

Newly, you can gain experience in summoning skill by collecting resources.

What resources are you meaning here? I am not trying to be rude just curious. Because if its ALL then it will level way too fast imho. But if its like magical items? Then its fine I think lol

@Sooner535{UFIP}
>>Just my two cents, making it too easy to level would be a bit much. What the research mod does is increase potential (max level of a skill) not the actual skill itself. Me personally I would recommend reversing that change, but yet again have not tried this mod so dont know for sure.

-make sense. I'll play around with it myself regarding this place and see if I can make some good adjustments.
However, I don't think there is that much difference in experience gain time compared to the other 2 magic skill trees.(pyro and flower )

@Sooner535{UFIP}
Really Thank you for helpful advices!

>>Hmm still haven’t tried it but do you mean all resources? Might be a bit too easy to level at that point maybe?

-Gain summoning exp from Gathering Resources like banana tree, fruit bushes etc...

>>Also as for combat with that mod, it makes it hard to make the books and they take forever but that’s kinda the point I think. You might look up Elektromancy and then it’s research add on and look at their code? I’m sure you could just copy that, just have to change the name of the skill items? Just a thought.

- I've checked the Electromancy's research and seems some as my mod's one so maybe okay...? *book of Summoning increase only one of max potential.

I feel like the summoning skill could be an interesting "very powerful" tree, ya you need to summon things to get it leveled which takes awhile but you are also getting summons which take aggro.

Just my two cents, making it too easy to level would be a bit much. What the research mod does is increase potential (max level of a skill) not the actual skill itself. Me personally I would recommend reversing that change, but yet again have not tried this mod so dont know for sure.

Ty for ur Suggestions!.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to add compatibility with that mod,
so I have added an alternative solution!

1.added leaning book to summoning level 9(cool time is 1 day)
2.Newly, you can gain experience in summoning skill by collecting resources.

Would you be so kind as to add compat with Fox's Research mod?

It adds books to level up skills, time consuming but it allows you to not have to hunt for trainers which is nice

@Sooner535{UFIP}
Hehe I'd be happy to do my bit for this great game.

Cool, another skill is always nice :) thanks for modding for this awesome game!
