Hey peeps.

Just an idea if anyone knows of a mod or one is in the making buuut I was wondering if there was a chance to have a mod place "monsters" in caves in the mountains that can't be seen like when you have a chance to come across a steam geyser or open cavern.

Not saying that these should be near the front of a mountain face but somewhere near the middle or back edge. Just think this would add an edge to those who like to build in deep and protect themselves from only one point.

 I like this idea with the chance of encountering a slumbering entity of some kind. First thoughts that come to mind are arachnids (think Planet P) or maybe a smaller variant that can "infect" your colonist with an egg.

If left untreated (presuming you have the right medical skill lvl + equipment to remove it safely) it would hatch after so many game days (think Aliens movie) or other possible outcome, takes over the body and mind of that colonist who becomes violent and attempts to hurt other colonists or even attempts to sabotage equipment.

I may be mistaken, but I'm certain Tynan had ideas around this when he was talking about ancient ruins and stuff. Probably you're mining and mining and mining and found a vast chamber of mechanoids.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

t's something I would like to see added in the game but if its planned may not need to worry about making a mod for this then.

Good idea about the spiders though, though maybe just have a bundle of eggs that the colonists just simply "have" to bring back and otherwise can't be moved by player influence? i.e. Colonists bring them back to one by one and put them into rooms (possibly do this via the bed selection per colonist?) and after a few days/months have them hatch and cause terror!

That sounds awesome! I love the idea of the colonist being controlled!
