Having a small issue.. The activation prompt changed and I harvest as intended but Im still getting the "you need a pickaxe" message. If I have a pickaxe it still harvests but then mines the shellbug anyway :(. Is there any reason why this would happen? im using the plus 2 and the Mihail Shellbug patch.
No problem :) First, ensure that your plugin load order is like this:
mihailshellbug.esp Save The Shellbugs! SE +2V.esp Save The Shellbugs +2V - Mihail Shellbugs Patch.esp
Second, I went through and double checked the patch to ensure it's still working, and it is. So, either the load order is the issue, or you have another mod in your game that's overwriting the plugin. If it's the latter, feel free to paste your load order in a PM to me and I'll take a look. ^^
I feel silly I just figured it out by accident. I didnt see it in the description but was it required to start a new save for the mod to work? I started a new game after checking the plugins (they were already in the right order) and now it works perfectly. Regardless Im happy it works now. You have no idea how sad it was when I first realized the shellys die in vanilla. Thank you very much for your help.
I wasn't aware that it did but thank you for letting me know, I added it to the mod description in case anyone else has any issues. Glad you got it working, sorry about that! And no problem. ^^
are the shell bug not one of the adult forms of chaurus ?
so very far from extinct, and incompatible with surface biome anyway (making killing them no more evil than killing wild boar IRL and wolves and bears in game)
no, not really. as far as any elder scrolls wiki bothered to mention these things, they're distinct from the chaurus evil scum. the only thing they have in common is that the falmer breeds them for their chitin.
I just compacted my esp via creation kit then flagged it in vortex as light master. Works wonders on AE. Not sure why Kyndra72 says it doesn't work.
Edit/PS: I did use this on a heavy modded 1k mods list and on new game aka COC Blackreachcity then try to find it. Love the mod very much! Thanks so so much!
If you'd like to send me the file I could upload it for others to use, I believe when I did it from some reason I had trouble harvesting from the shellbugs.
wait, you actually kill them in vanilla? I thought you only took some (regrowing) scales that are extremely durable (hence you need the pickaxe). Maybe I have a bug, because for me, they don't die (they continue their idle sounds after I took their scales)
