MoaiMod

Adds an Easter island Moai Statue to help kill your entire squad :)

This enemy spawns outside on any planet (for now), and has elemental variants to keep you on your toes.

Here's an example of the horror you will experience (click on the funny man):

video of mod is out of date. Getting a new one soon.

Variants

Normal

Your average Moai. Chases down the player to give them a big hug. *
Spawn Time: Day, Rarity: Common

Blue

Summons lightning in a range that gets more and more violent the closer he is.
Do NOT mess with him.
Spawn Time: Night, Rarity: Uncommon

Angel

An Angel moai will patrol around players, looking for enemies.
These moai are identified by their shiny halo on their heads.
Spawn Time: Any, Rarity: ???

Size

Moai have a 20% chance to be larger/smaller than usual.
Could be minor, or so severe that you can see him from a mile away.
Affects sfx pitch.

Special Behaviors

Consumption

Moai need a lot of energy dragging their heavy bodies around, so they tend to get hungry.
Moai may seek out very questionable items and devour them without a second thought.
Devouring an object will turn the moai into an angel variant, for some time.

Guardian Mode

Angel Moais charge and murder any threat it sees in order to protect the player.
Angel Moais are sophisticated, refusing to eat any disgusting scrap/player.

There is no escape

Moais may enter/exit the facility at any time.
The closer a moai is to an entrance/exit, the more likely they will enter it.

The mod is configurable. You can set a moai's rarity, size, speed, and sound volume in the main menu.

Currently Planned Features:

More Variants (Red Moai is currently broken, working on a purple variant?).
Gold, and more are on the way!
Unique sounds and better textures for each variant.
Still fixing bugs, but things are getting pretty stable now.
General asset/code cleanup and console logging fixes.
