Does this mod still work or is it broken?

What sort of mods might re-add the part? I've started getting sapped again and I'm not sure what's causing it.

Not a problem at all, it quickly became apparent that it was working from there forward, however I assumed that this might have been a bug rather than an already existing spawn (it definitely was something that could have been spawned already) which is why I didn't add another comment. Thanks mate

@dragonite Sorry for missing your question. In short, it depends. If the stat sap itself was already spawned before you added this mod, then it won't affect that specific spawned entity. It will however stop future spawns from sapping your stats.

The way the game works is that when any entity/object is spawned, its parameters are set, and modding that entity/object's blueprint in the XML files after the fact will only affect future spawns, not existing ones.

Does this still work? I have just added it to a run in progress but it didn't prevent a toughness drain immediately after

So far as I'm aware, yes it is

Hi, I want to install this mod, but I don’t know much about modding this game. Is it possible to add a mod to an existing game? Adding a mod affects something significantly? (like increasing the load). Will the game break with the release of a new update?

Unfortunately I don't support the beta branch, I keep the mods updated for whatever the current stable is, sorry!

It seems like this mod no longer works in the beta, life saps are draining health

i always have wings so saps are neutral or friendly to me, but seems nice for if i ever dont cheese everything with flight

thank you SO MUCH. i actaully hated playing mid - late game because it was so werid to have stats just yonked from you with little to no control over it

No problem, enjoy!

You are a good man tyvm very much!
Rufert Snailsman 25 Jun, 2023 @ 11:35am 
I think so yeah. I don't remember, hence needing the mod.

Alright, I've uploaded the change to this and made a mod for Memory Eaters here:

Memory Eaters you mean? If so, yeah that would be pretty easy to do, I'll probably put the Memory Eater change in a separate mod given that it's functionally different from stat saps, but Enigma Snails are identical so I'll throw them in here
Rufert Snailsman 25 Jun, 2023 @ 10:39am 
Any chance of an update for this? Including enigma snails and those forget random things-things?
Rat Bastard 28 Dec, 2022 @ 3:54pm 
Could you make one for life saps and enigma snails?

Thanks so much for this mod! Hugely appreciated.

Ping for those subbed to this, should be updated for current version
Amax 26 Jun, 2022 @ 5:22pm 
I know this is an old mod but i was reallly hoping it would still work. Spoiler alert it doesn't - Saps still drain stats, only now there is no message to notify you.

Almost deserves to be part of CoQ Expanded -- nobody, nobody likes stat saps D:

Thanks!

A godsend!

Thanks for this, TLR. No need to worry about one of the worst additions to the game anymore.
You're awesome!
