About this mod

This mod makes creatures, especially AIR and WATER creatures, appear more frequently and spawn a bit further away. Loosely based off of uploader bentusi's Persistant Distant Creatures Mod.

Permissions and credits
 Updated for NMS Atlas Rises.
 Keep in mind, sure, the main purpose of this mod is finding creatures easier, but most of all it's about performance and making sure 
the game loads while on a heavily populated planet. And after I've reached Lv 10, I  would remove this mod for the improved performace.


  This mod makes creatures, especially AIR and WATER creatures, appear more frequently and spawn a bit further away. Loosely based off of uploader  bentusi's Persistant Distant Creatures Mod.

  All AIR and WATER creatures can be seen x4 vanilla values. All other creatures x2. I also balanced spawn rates and group size/occurances, in order to  compensate for the increased distance. And slightly increased spawn rates of some more rarer species.

  Even when using bentusi's lowest option (x2), I had saves that wouldn't load, if on a planet with a high concentration of creatures. There's a limitation to  the games engine when it comes to creatures. With my mod I haven't ONCE not had a save load. On the off-chance that a save doesn't load, remove this mod then save in space or on a different planet. And tell me via a PM so I can adjust the values more. But I seriously doubt that will happen. I've been on planets that bentusi's mod wouldn't load and this mod will. And I have yet to not have mine load, even on the heaviest of populated planets.

 You can only run this mod OR bentusi's Persistant Distant Creatures Mod, as they both modify the same files in ROLEDESCRIPTIONTABLES folder.

TIP: Even with my mod ( although definitely an improvement ), I've noticed LUSH planets are the hardest planets to complete the 100% discovered milestone's. The last discovery is always ridiculous. Stick to the easier planets for less of a struggle.
