NO WAY! that sounds amazing. im super eager to see how it develops further!

Yeah right now I'm working on getting commission from artists to do cover art for all new monsters

i keep playing with this mod. the fauna it adds its really entertaining to fight. the swarms of barracudas are super fun. also is there a plan to rework the screenshots? because those doesnt do justice.

@mikehagen22 what do you recommend that I do for the time being to help avid these issues?

Mod is receiving a huge update later so most of these issues will be addressed.

@mikehagen22 I am getting errors in the log about a ogg file being missing

It's something with ragdoll, we're playing with Guppy ship hentirer edition.

I'll try to get you a log today evening - it was in multiplayer and I cannot get past hammerheads alone to the place where Crook spawns. Basically Crook gets on a ship, goes into the reactor room, hangs out a little and then crashes the lobby, no matter if we kill him or not.

Seems to work fine with me

Are you able to obtain a error message at all when you crash from it?

Crook crashes the game in the newest patch

Hello, I seem to be getting an error that reads:

Exception: "Vanilla Creature Expansion" depends on a package with name or ID "2831987252" that is not currently installed. (Barotrauma.MissingContentPackageException)
Last debug messages:
[03/08/2025 23:38:00] ‖color:#9370DB‖[Vanilla Creature Expansion]‖color:end‖ WARNING: Error in MonsterEvent: failed to spawn the character "Bossmoloh". Content package: "Vanilla Creature Expansion".
[03/08/2025 23:38:00] WARNING: Failed to create character "Bossmoloh". Matching prefab not found.

It seems some of other people also have similiar problems, any fix?

Hi Sexlander, I've already checked, the problem is that we have a mission with the same identifier. In the next patch of this mod I will fix it. Also, the author of the mod you mention can get ahead of me by adding some acronyms or a code that he invents at the end of the identifier of his same mission, thus avoiding compatibility problems, because they would already be different names.

theres an compatibility problem with the mod "More outpost for europa"

Had the same bug as mentioned previously
"Failed to spawn character Ceolanthre {"Vanilla Creature Expansion" depends on a package with name or ID "2831987252" that is not installed.)

Was this fixed in the newest update or is there still a problem related to this issue?

the console gets spammed with this on round start
Sprite "Content/ContentPackages/gore/crawlerlaceratedgunshot.png" not found!

ah its not compatible with it, sorry

it says, that i cant add the mod due to this mod and barotraumatic creature pack having the same prefab names, (electric pulse, telepulse)

Thanks for the report, checking it now

Failed to spawn character Coelanthre {"Vanilla Creature Expansion" depends on a package with name or ID "2831987252" that is not currently installed.

game crashing all the time, Log says that mod need a dependence for work

the new update was causing us to crash, error log was saying it needed something from barotraumatic creatures

is this compatible with dynamiceuropa?

Does the Hammerhead mauler suppose to one hit the entire sub? Its a bit difficult since its so fast and it can teleport as well, sometimes getting stuck in terrain. We found out when going very fast in one direction it just has to gently touch the sub hull and basically the entire sub is just gone and all AI + players die from pressure, we even got max hull upgrade.

Have at it, I'd love to play with this as long as I'm sure no one whines about errors during my campaign.

=AlphaCharybdis - tries to spawn item k_em_charybdisfang - item doesn't exist

Currently being patched rn. Been working on Barotraumatic aswell!

hammerhead mauler destroys the entire submarine in a single blow, then he crawls in and gets trapped inside! It's impossible to avoid this, he has absurd speed.

Hammerhead Mauler keeps imploding our entire submarine with just one hit, can that be looked in to?

thank you! It no longer crashes the game, now it just gives this error in the console but at least it allows to keep playing.

Thanks for the report! Fixed!

found it... it needs Immersive repairs to be installed for some reason

on round start I get this error and crash

i really really love that the pets have their adult contrapart! really nice mod!

downloaded barotraumatic creature pack, didnt enable it and game stopped throwing errors when trying to spawn that creature

turns out its a monster from barotraumatic creature pack that is missing, I guess its an oversight, because this mod shouldnt be needing anything from barotraumatic

Im getting an error when "Balloon" spawns in character editor and it switches back to spawn a default human, also when event set involving that monster occured, the server crashed

How many creatures does this mod add?

I assume this wouldnt work with Europawar?

He said it wasn't compatible with Barotraumatic, silly!

When did I say that?

why did you say its not compatible with dynamic europa, its been working fine so far for me

posted on changelogs

What the new update do?

no not at all

So is this compatible with Barotraumatic/ Dynamic Europa?

why all Mantis have "failed to load sound file"?

It's a pity that many monsters from Barotraumatic are missing, like Cyclop. Is there a reason for this? Barotraumatic itself is unfortunately too much and annoying for me in singleplayer. It destroys the atmosphere. If you play without extra weapon-mods and rather survival, weak-wrecked ships with little armament, but more strategy plays, Dynamic Europe and abadoned europa, who prefers "less is more", i.e. quality instead of quantity, then Barptraumatic is nothing. But i like the Creatures. I remember an encounter, by testing "barotraumatic-less....", where an abandoned base was being investigated by me when my submarine was attacked outside by two huge Cyclops and I had to seek shelter in the base, and I ran out of oxygen and my ship sang to the ground... There are already cinematic moments. Great game with a lot of potential and fantastic depth. Great game and great mods! Thank you and greetings

It took away the immersion of how large creature are suppose to present themselves in game. If that makes sense
