[Question] Husk Infection and Husk Gene Splice ...and a Questing about "incubation time"
Hello,
Firs of all, I love this mod :-)
It is way more scary if other creatures can be husks as well and the character art looks stunning.
Before I start, I have a Question:
Is it on purpose, that becoming a husk is way faster with this mod?
In the Vanilla game it takes about 5 Minutes from bite to losing control.
in the Mod it only takes like 2-3 Minutes..

Anyway,
I recently found a few bugs with the "Husk Splice", which I injected it into my character using the gene splicer.
After getting a Husk infection it transforms me into a Husk, but I still keep the control of mysel, like usual.
And I noticed theese Bugs:

1. it seems like I am not able to attack other creatures with my Husk tounge.
2. I drown when I go diving in without a diving suit. - usually It should be possible to swim and breathe under water without it, while beeing a Husk.
3. The Player Sprite has the old Husk look, not the new one provided by this mod. )but this might be on purpose, not sure)

but I still love your Mod. ;-)

Yes. I also made it kill you faster once it reaches 100% strength. The entire process has been sped up to make the infection a more pressing matter, however I also made calyxanide have a 100% chance of curing the infection instantly, no matter who is applying it.

You will be unable to use the tongue if your face is hidden (either by wearing a diving mask, or a diving suit, or anything of those sorts).

I intentionally removed every "perk" and "downside" of the husk infection. You'll notice that it doesn't render you mute, but at the same time it no longer gives you any advantages. This is because I moved those aspects of the infection to the "symbiotic husk" added in this mod way before the game had implemented the husk genes, so I really had no way to take them into consideration, on account of them not existing. I plan to fix this "feature conflict" sometime soon.

This is on purpose, yes. When you actually die and turn into an AI controlled human husk, three stingers will pop out of your face, which can destroy the visor of any diving suit you may be wearing, while if you are still in control of yourself, there will only be a singular, weaker one.

Thank you a lot for your answers. :cozyspaceengineersc:

Time for me to look into that "symbiotic husk" you created ;-)

extra question seeing this:
How do you get this "symbiotic husk"? I really love the husk genes effects on your character, and love using it, but at the same time this mod I both love and stops me from using the genes straight up.
