About this mod Machine translation
No more digging/killing Shellbugs for their chitin! Just activate it! :)
So you've finally found the Shellbug, a creature that's insanely endangered, with only two left in the entire game, but your first instinct is to murder it with a pickaxe?
Well, not anymore!
Now you can carefully harvest chitin from its shell without damage to this tiny module! (Only using 1 script!)
After all, it never hurt anyone! Just walk up to the Shellbug and activate it (if you can't activate it, you're probably not close enough! Give it a good snuggle!) to get 3 Shellbug Chitin.
This can be repeated every 10 days, but you can't wait in the same cell for 10 days like a crazed lunatic and expect it to work.
You have to leave the cell and come back after 10 days! No, I won't make a version that removes the wait time, sorry!
I've now uploaded a +2 build that only adds two Shellbugs to the game, but in Skyrim! :) I also added some rocks (using vanilla assets) to hide them better and a few glowing mushrooms near them for effect. This should actually be compatible with any mod. The chance of another mod editing the same area as Shellbugs is extremely rare. I made the Blackreach one especially hard to find because remember, they are indeed scarce! good luck! :)
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
