It spreads is a unique Barotrauma mod, inspired by ss13, horde shooters, squad, left 4 dead versus and an array of other tittles that presents an entirely new way to play the game. This mod is split into 3 main parts:

• It walks: Large scale surface warfare against the hive with features such as artillery, squad systems, airdrops, base building and more. While still retaining PVE elements it has much more of a focus on PVP compared to the other it spreads denominations
  
• It Digs: Underground focused primarily PVE survival horror taking inspiration from games such as deep rock galactic and hidden deep.
  
• The campaign:A linear story driven campaign for 1-6 people.

NOTE THIS GUIDE ONLY HAS FINISHED OR ALMOST FINISHED ITS CONTENT. SINCE THE MOD IS NOT RELEASED THIS IS FOR OUR PLAYTESTERS PRIMARILY. I AM STILL ADDING IMAGES AND SOME INFO.

It walks:
