Finding the game too easy and uneventful?

Boring and repetitive vanilla monsters adding no variety or challenge to your life?

Using Mods that give you overpowered but fun toys, but there isn't anything to shoot?

This is my WIP mod to increase the frequency and variety of monster spawns, ruins, wrecks, and missions.

There are as of August 2025 roughly 258+ Creatures in this pack, some of them are common in many biomes and some are rare, insidious and might not be seen in a playthrough. So you might encounter something you have never seen before as your play style or mission types change and you explore the abyss more frequently or cave dive. Not everything is totally hostile and there are several neutral or passive aggressive creatures. There is also no guide or wiki to hold your hand in this journey, you are on your own and only have the unreliable Zee stories of your other submariners to go on in many cases.

No more uneventful missions, no more devoid caves, no more empty wrecks and ruins! Wrecks and large ruins will have enemies! Bring plenty of meds and ammo. Ruins are now the most reliable place to find alien materials and maybe a way to ascend past humanity...


Each biome has a unique with sets of creatures and varying difficulties that will encourage the player to counter or learn the underlying mechanics of each of them, your submarine, and maybe even use a little stealth to survive.


BaroTraumatic completely overhauls the radio system in the game. Distortions, interference, and even death can come from your usually safe headset, batteries not required!

There are 5 craftable radios to try out, each with their own unique features like noise cancelling and chemical battery!


TO USE THIS MOD, you need to download BAROTRAUMATIC Do not download the original legacy versions of Xansmonsters1&2, Extended monsters, Monster test pack, Europa fishies, survivator plays, MN Creatures and/or Creatures of the depth as doing any of these things will cause crashes and errors. The Creature Pack is no longer needed as it is part of the file.

Other mods that edit the spawn-list, Event Manager, or Vanilla Afflictions must come below BaroTraumatic! It is generally safe now to put BaroTraumatic at the Top of your Load Order

BaroTraumatic is safe to add and remove from any campaign at any time. You will obviously lose any items added via the mod if removed in the middle of a campaign.


My Dynamic Europa Map and Locationtype Overhaul

If you suffer from lag issues, I recommend Performance Fix by Evil Factory. There is a creature config that will allow you to increase FPS.

Big thanks to LordFrith and Udrakan for the random help, check out their stuff too if you like good mods. (ITA compatible but pure cancer and the images are using LordFriths biome overhaul, very pretty.)

Thanks to Sakura (Alien Queen) for the artwork!

If you have recently updated the mod and experience errors such as unable to join server with the current version and being prompted to download the mod, missing files in console, mod unable to be loaded due to errors and red in mod loader. Then it is highly likely your mod installation is corrupted.

To fix this go to the ingame mod manage and find the mod in the list, right click the mod and select "View Details" and in the mod details page there is a button in the upper right hand corner labelled reinstall. Hit this button and the mod will be reinstalled in both the workshop and staging folder. This should almost any issue you have with the mod.

It is HIGHLY recomended to install and use Performance Fix by Evil Factory and have it configured while playing BaroTraumatic!
