Scavenger Intel

This mod provides useful intelligence about the scavengers, like the number of scavenger kills you have and the total number of scavengers in the region, updated accordingly. In addition, it points you toward the best scavenger target within the room, as well as providing a power level for all scavengers, with a configurable keybind to toggle it on/off.

This mod is specifically designed for Artificer & friends who strive to exterminate the whole scavenger population in a region, without getting killed unfairly.

For those new to Scavenger extermination and combat, the mod’s utility may not be obvious at first. I encourage you to read along, but beware of heavy spoilers regarding Scavenger AI design, combat logic and many technical knowledge of the game!


This mod does 7 things:

1. Displays the number of scavenger kills you have obtained in this cycle.
   
2. Displays the number of maximum attainable scavenger kills at the current moment.
   
3. Displays the total number of scavengers that spawned in this cycle.
   
4. Displays the countdown until a scavenger kill / protect squad can potentially spawn near
   you. (though you will probably only encounter kill squads lol)
   
5. Displays the number of scavengers in the squad if the squad is active.
   
6. Displays the most desirable target scavenger to destroy in the room, if there is one
   available, as an arrow next to your Slugcat.
   
7. Displays a level for every scavenger, such that higher levels ones have better combat skill
   stats.

I encourage you read the wiki on scavengerAI, as well as the technical pages for
scavenger combat skills if these concepts are confusing.

Items 1 - 5 can be viewed during gameplay and the hibernation screen by pressing the map button. Specifically, you can use the ratio of item 1 and item 2 to determine how safe you are from a surprise scavenger attack, while the ratio of item 1 and item 3 shows you how close you are to clear the region. Items 1 - 3 are arranged as three numbers next to each other like “(1/2/3)” when you press the map. Note that for item 5, not all scavenger spawns in the world are classified as kill squads. There are small inconsistencies in this number, but it should roughly do its job.

Item 7 can be toggled on / off with a button of your choice. The color of the arrow and the levels interpolates from white to red to indicate how high the level is. The formula for the level is the weighted average between the five combat skills of the scavenger, multiplied by 100, with a heavier weight applied toward the reactionSkill. Use these numbers to choose from a more conservative / aggressive attack plan.

All items can also be turned off in the Remix menu!

Q: What is the difference between item 2 and item 3?
A: Item 2 decreases when a scavenger retreats or dies for a non-player cause, while item 3 does not.

Q: What mods are compatible with this?
A: Known compatibilities: SBCameraScroll, HealthBar, JollyCoop, DevConsole, WarpMenu (mostly).

Q: How does item 6 calculate the best scavenger to point?
A: It points to the nearest scavenger to you, but if a scavenger is also able to hit you, the pointer is more preferential toward it compared to another scavenger on the other side of a wall.

Q: My game crashed!
A: Sorry about that! Contact Nacu in the RW discord to report the bug. Send the exceptionLog as well.

Q: Why do you hate the scavengers sooo much :(
A: Scavs are an incredible feat for RainWorld’s developers. Fighting them feels like fighting real players in an online game, and it feels awesome to play the game at its full potential.
