Adds 4 Enemies

Bell

Slow, durable enemy that does not directly attack players

Rings an alarm when it sees, touches, or is hit by a player

Whilst ringing its Bell alarm, Temporal Instability gain increases rapidly and wakes nearby locusts

Can investigate loud noises, and may stop to listen or hide while wandering

Locust

Swarm type enemy that creates a shared nest around the first locust spawn

Wanders near the nest, sleeps when calm, and wakes when the swarm is alerted

Chases players it sees and attacks at close range

Crouching makes players harder to detect

Corrupt Locust

More dangerous locust variant that leaps onto a player's face

Deals repeated damage while attached

Can be knocked off by hitting, stunning, or killing it

Sawblade Locust

Locust variant with a stronger, longer reaching saw attack

Holds attack range during cooldown instead of always rushing in

Deals more damage than a regular locust

Enemies only spawn when the Temporal Storm weather is active.

Hazards

Temporal Rifts

Temporal Rifts start to spawn and can eventually spawn enemies as Temporal Instability rises

Most Temporal Rifts spawn small groups of Locust variants, whilst few spawn normal enemies

Each Temporal Rift has limited amount of power, and spends that power spawning enemies using their pre-existing power values, and eventually weaken and close

Spatial Tears

Spatial Tears are a map object that can appear outside after the Thunderlord's Roar

They tear themselves open as the ship departs

Rust Objects

Rust Objects are objects of rust debri that appear outside during a Temporal Storm

Their size and damage are based off of the current Temporal Instability level, becoming more dangerous as the storm worsens

Touching Rust Objects can damage the player and slow their movement whilst standing in them

Gear Piles

Gear Piles are hazards that appear in the facility

Similar to Rust Objects, their size are based off of the current Temporal Instability level, but do not cause harm

Gear Piles can contain Temporal Gears and Madness Gears as the size reaches it's peak

These hazards only spawn when the Temporal Storm weather is active.

Rustic & Temporal Items

Rustic Items

Conductive scrap inside the facility can be permanently altered by the Temporal Storm. As Temporal Instability rises, conductive items begin to rust and become Rustic, lowering their scrap value and changing their appearance.

Temporal Items

As Temporal Instability rises, Rustic items not yet bought back to the ship have a few chances to become Temporal instead. These items gain a different appearance and have increased value.

Item Exposure Prevention

Scrap brought back to the ship are protected from further exposure to the Temporal Storm, as such, Rustic items lose their c

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
