I have reduced the size of the insects, if someone doesn’t like very large ones:

hmmm interesting... Thanks for the reply. If I ever figure out a solution I will let you know!
Excellent job on the modding, again!

Unfortunately I can't figure out a way to make graphics scaled down XD
They are the size they are because thats how big the cavas is. Most of the vanilla bugs are 3x3 pixels.

If you folks know how to do that I'll gladly patch this mod.

I like this mod so far, but like Jokiu I don't really care for the giant head sized bugs that look like they belong in some alien amazon jungle of terror and death.
Again the mod's fantastic work, but if there's a chance of a patch or version where they're back to their normal size that'd be awesome!
Thanks for all your incredible work on all your mods!

For when others have the same issue as me:

The location does not appear at the Teleport Shop for me.

I use the following steps to enable access to the Essential Variety Shop:

- Step 0 = /admin
- Step 1 = /warp InstanceWorld:essential_varietyshop
- Step 3 = /settileprotection 65524 false
- Step 3 = /settileprotection 0 false
- Step 4 = Remove Teleporter
- Step 5 = Place a flat Teleporter on the place where the old one was located
- Step 6 = Name Teleporter "3 Essential Variety Shop"
- Step 7 = /settileprotection 0 true
- Step 8 = /settileprotection 65524 true
- Step 9 = /admin

Sure enough I got used to it. This mod is great and fun.
The song that plays at the shop place sounds familiar... Did it come from somewhere else or did you make it yourself?
Jokiu 31 Mar, 2019 @ 9:45am 
At least it does make them easier to distinguish and find in the open. But just how huge the sprites are makes them quite unsettling.
Eh. Maybe I'll get used to it.

yeah I only had so much room to work with on the canvas otherwise the bugs will become monstrously huge
Jokiu 29 Mar, 2019 @ 10:36pm 
I really like the idea of the mod but I'm really not a fan of the resprites of the bugs...

FUCK BEES

Hmmm, a mod underpopulated by BEES? Some BEES oughta put a stop to that!
BEES BEES BEES

oh, I thought this allowed you to actually make/convert insects so you could get them even if you didn't find them...in which case making/transforming bee types would be really useful...but if this mod doesn't do that, I'll look elsewhere

@Insane_Insomniac4
Not sure what you mean by support. I don't use FU so I can strictly track changes I make to vanilla content, but I am aware of their bees. Can you be more specific?

This mod just reskins the existing insects with new sprites, adds a custom dungeon which you can access via the 2Stop Teleshop teleporter and 2 new objects for the sole purpose of spawning insects. Hope this answers your question in part (' ' ,)
Insane_Insomniac4 11 Sep, 2018 @ 6:51am 
would it be possible to add in support for FU bees (or has it already been done, either built in here or as a patch?)

Oveeride locations? This mod patches the outpostteleporter.config and only ADDS a destination for the player to warp to, so it shouldn't in any way conflict with mods at all that do this. Its standard modding practice to patch files, not do dirty edits. If you can provide me with an example of how this works I'll try and rectify the problem.

it seems like this mod overrides the locations available on the 2-stop-teleshop teleporter. this makes it incompatible with other mods that use that teleporter to access instanced worlds

Hi, I'm Michael with a B, and I've been afraid of insects my entire life

They're unique merchants so only the variety store dungeon map
hungrygoose 24 Aug, 2018 @ 9:24am 
Can the new merchants be purchased or are they found on new planets?
