Description
Adds the Crayfeesh species with Race Traits, which is required for the fully non-vanilla experience including rage, regeneration and breathing underwater. With the Headlamp stat they can hunt in the murky depths more easily. They also have a larger hitbox but are able to make many things from bronze, like their special pickaxes. If you get stuck somewhere try going backwards, just like real crayfish. I almost enjoy the hitbox difficulties. Is it a bug or a feature? I'm trying to let them be who they are and show personality as a creature living in a world meant for smaller people. They can naturally take a beating but will only regenerate out of combat which is easier underwater where they have more mobility. Tear your way through the Old Mine without armor or fancy weapons, and without worrying about dying. When hunting for carapace, your claws can punch fast enough to prevent those mobs from hiding in their shells. Instead of more heavy armor and the required sprites, they have two tiers of invisible shields. The shield core item is also used to upgrade your starter sword, and Tier2 armor accepts special augments. They love earthworms and algae which you will need lots of to keep them fed, as well as for some crafting. Their EPP is modified from the Trink. Their actual sprites are obviously built from the Arachne (with permission) which are way nicer than anything I could have done alone. Their optional hitbox has been built-in as a way to force a different play style as a larger-than-usual monstrosity. You may feel OP on your starter Garden planet, maybe even in a tungsten forest. After maxing out armor and weapons, however, I'm not sure how far into the game they can fight. Having Arachne as one of my favorites, I was inspired to base these somewhat awkward creatures on my pet white crayfish, Melvin Procambarus Shrimpee. He is super aggressive but I love him. He would be content to colonize an ocean floor (by himself) and claim up territory. He'd spend his days slaughtering anything that crossed his borders and he would eat them up while his fields of algaebloom grow.

Sorry, I don't use FU and have no idea what those mods modify. Some of my stats might work even without RaceTraits but some depend on it. If RT is incompatible with Frackin then this might be as well. You're welcome to try and let this thread know what happens but I don't plan on making any FU patches.

Is this also compatible with Frackin Races / Universe or specifically race traits? i wanna use this in my FU/FR games and i doubt the racial trait mod would be compatible

Ha no worries, it is small compared to THEA and others. Thanks so much, I'm actually really happy that people seem to like it!

My bad, that was a terrible pic for showing the playable character. Try them now with a pickaxe their size.
