MAIN FILES (Visual changes only):
1) Regular STALKER mod harvester behavior just 5x bigger
Spawns up to 2 sliders with lifespan of up to 120seconds. If you kill sliders faster - no new sliders will appear untill the lifespan timer runs out. Usually after killing both sliders you have a long enough window to deal with harvester before new ones spawn.
2) Vanilla Harvester behavior just 5x bigger.
Spawns up to 3 spiders with a lifespan of 15seconds. 3 spiders is just a nuisance. Doesnt make much sense killing them - their lifespan is short anyway and new ones respawn fast.
OPTIONAL FILES:
3) Harvester BOSS
5x Bigger
CORE is not that much bigger and moves 25% faster
(harder to hit, especially from further away and with slow bullets)
Spawns up to 8 spiders with lifespan of 35-45seconds:
Long enough lifespan to not die as soon as reaching the player that is further away.
Short enough to not give you a long time window to comfortably deal with harvester if you choose to kill spiders first.
Big enough amount of spiders to be more than nuisance if you choose to ignore them and focus on harvester.
Compatibility:
Doesnt depend on any files and any file can be used with any mod. (For example if you dont like the stalker mod harvester behavior - use vanilla harvester file from downloads page, or if you want stalker harvester without using stalker mod - use stalker harvester file)
This mod only changes looks and (optionally) behavior of harvester by editing harvester blueprint. It does not affect health or loot which is managed by other game files. (Also meaning that this mod is compatible with files that do that).
Attention: Despite Harvester files exist in vanilla game it does not appear anywhere in the vanilla game. In order to encounter a Harvester in the game you must use mods such as STALKER overhaul mod, Weighted random enemy spawns, Missions overhaul, etc.
