Insects Level Up

Description
This mod aims to reduce the size of attack waves by dividing the default Skarabei and Dragonfly species into various levels of upgraded minions. It gradually replaces them with higher-level versions as follows:
  • Skarabei LVL 1: The default version.
  • Skarabei LVL 2: Has 2 times more health and damage than the default.
  • Skarabei LVL 3: Has 3 times more health and damage than the default.
  • Skarabei LVL 4: Has 4 times more health and damage than the default.
  • Skarabei LVL 5: Has 5 times more health and damage than the default.
  • Hummingfly LVL 1: The default version.
  • Hummingfly LVL 2: Has 2 times more health and damage than the default.
  • Hummingfly LVL 3: Has 3 times more health and damage than the default.

Furthermore, the mod adjusts the game to prioritize spawning stronger creatures whenever it attempts to spawn more than 100 weaker ones. If desired, you can customize this value through the mod options. This will allow you to experience larger waves of weaker creatures if you prefer so.

Disclaimer: This mod introduces data into the savegame that will impact future attacks, even if the mod is later disabled. If you prefer to maintain the integrity of your previous savegames, please avoid overwriting them and create new savegames instead.

It's totally fine, @Tharbad08.

Is it OK that I'll use your code and add Shreikers, Junos and Mantis as well?

Any plans to have it apply to Shreikers and Mantids as well?

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, @Jaggid Edje and @Tactical Nuclear Coffee!

It should be fixed now.

I just installed it and can confirm mobs become unkillable XD Awesome timing haha.

As of yesterday's game update, if I leave this mod enabled I get insects that are completely immune to damage. Strangely, it was the "Hungry Pests" event with Starving Skarabei that is affected, even though that's not covered by the mod.

Regardless, with this mod enabled, I cannot damage the Starving Skarabei. They are completely immune to my attacks. Disabling the mod resolves the issue. I confirmed by enabling and disabling the mod multiple times while still killing them. They simply are unkillable if this mod is active.

I like this idea! This would mesh well with being able to craft higher level gear too

Shouldn't be too much of an effort, Jaggid Edje. I will check when I find time.

Have you considered adding the "hungry pests" insect varieties to this mod as well? I sometimes get several hundred starving skarabei when that events spawns.
