Improved Odyssey Insect Larva
I was disappointed with how lacklustre the new Hive Queen and Larva was once I tamed them, so this mod makes some improvements to them without being a whole expanded overhaul or anything like that. Now you can grow your own bug colony!
Changes the Larva Egg from the egg spew ability for the Hive Queen into a more... eggy egg? Also new skills for the Larva that allows them to metamorph into the different insect types.
You now have to Train the separate metamorph skill added to Larva to access the abilities.
May be unbalanced, broken in strange ways or whatever.
Now here is what I have changed/added in more detail:
The new Eggs now have a gestation time before they actually hatch, and damaging them no longer pops out a new larva instantly, you now need to wait for it to grow.
4 New abilities are added to the Larva, one for each of the insect forms. After selecting the skill, the larva will then turn into a cocoon and take a few in game hours to transform into the selected insect type.
All changes are standalone and do not alter anything already in the game, besides changing the type of egg from the Hive Queen ability, and adding the new ability activation capability to the Larvae, along with a new trainable to it. So any existing/world spawned eggs still pop a larva when damaged and do not hatch with time.
Will work fine on existing saves, but any existing Larva may not be able to morph.
Should be safe to remove from a save as long as there are no eggs with a hatch timer, or any Larva in any morph cocoons.
This is my first attempt at a code mod, so Special thanks to Jdalt and his Growth Moments Make Sense Now mod, It had the whole project setup easily so that I was able to get started with that as a pre-setup workspace.
