I think that moons with a single yet terrifying monster inside the building would be interesting. It would feel more like a boss battle, except you know you cant fight it. An idea like the stranger would definitely work if the dev wants to add boss moons.

[@CelestialSodapop]

could be like a weather event. Imagine being like "so the weather just says 'strange,' what does that mean?" I also think there could be a small chance of a Strange moons not being labeled as such. and, you could bring back corpses of monsters from Strange moons, to temper the huge threat with huge loot.

That’s a cool idea. I hope they add it even though it’s expensive and I have to keep up with it. I’d like to add one thing, if you don’t feed the looting bug then it will turn on you, dropping any items it’s holding and attacking you.

Given that they explicitly describe the forest guardians as "toddler-esque", I think they just shouldn't have object permanence. If you manage to break line of sight completely, with a tree or any other tall obstacle, they'll stop chasing you immediately - as in their mind, you haven't just gone out of sight, you've fully disappeared, never to return. This fits with their description, gives a meaningful course of action when spotted, and still allows for some potentially hilarious deaths when a player tries to hide behind a tree that's too thin and dies screaming "NO STOP YOU CAN'T SEE ME YOU CAN'T - "

I've always thought the best idea to implement a mimic type monster would be like this: A form of parasite or a lanky, needle-like creature that skulks around and actively hides from you. Easy to kill in one shovel swing, but hard to spot as it blends in with the industrial environments. If the parasite is in the level, it will start recording all voice chat from all players the moment they enter the building. When a player dies and the body is easily accessible, the parasite will quickly drag the body out of view and enter it. It will be able to be detected from the fact it'll be covered in blood and have a small hole in a corner of it's visor, which reveals a small part of the parasitic body's face when illuminated. After it takes control of a body, it will start patrolling around the building while playing the voice of the player which the body belongs to. It has the exact same animations as a player character, except for some rare twitches. The voice lines it plays while patrolling will be any normal volume communication the player has done, no shouting or screaming. When it spots a player that is in the distance it will stand there and cease all communication for a moment. Before quickly pulling out a stop sign and running at the player and playing any loud sounds the player it is mimicking has done, such as screaming or shouting someone else's name. When it reaches the player, it will attack by swinging the stop sign at them until they die, and then it will holster the stop sign and continue patrolling. If you spot it at close proximity, it will begin the chase state immediately. It is also susceptible to all hazards a player may die to, but not other creatures. Anyways thanks for reading my funky idea, this video was cool and just inspired me to share it.

Alternate idea to the backpack. A wearable fannypack. Perfect for holding a few extra small items ( flashlights, walkies, keys, ducks, ect ) Plus, it would look ridiculous ( company bought them on sale )

[@patrickguidroz]

Item mechanics: When you use the fannypack in your hand, it opens a seperate 4 slot inventory, obscuring your normal inventory underneath. In this alternate inventory, the far left slot by default has the fannypack item, which you can click on to close the alternate inventory. The items utility: That fannypack provides 2 extra slots you can fit small items into as compared to not having a fannypack. You can have more than one fanny pack but it competes for item slots like the flashlight and the walkie as they will not work when inside the fannypack.

You would be able to recognize that its a stranger because the suit will have blood all over it and the persons voice would be slightly distorted or pitched down.

I REALLY like the Forest Giant idea! When I read their journal entry after having encountered them a few times, my first thought was "Curious? Toddler-like? Eating anything that moves? Why not play with their food first?" It'd be a great panic-inducing element, making it sort of an inverse to an eyeless dog encounter. With dogs, your stealth is much more focused before they've seen you, with the skillful dodging and weaving coming into play later, and this change would make being caught by forest giants less of a "Welp, time to die and call out to my teammates that I'm dead!" moment and more of a "Oh crap oh crap am I dead should I call for help???" moment.

An item idea I've had for this game would be markers. You could use them to write on the walls, leaving notes about dead ends or where the exit is. It would also be a good moral booster, cause of course people will write/draw stupid shit. You could also make a monster or modify one to mess with those notes. It could erase them or write false notes to lead people astray, and that way markers don't make the ship operator too useless.

@@t.s.teller8530 that would be too complex to add, it could end up overlapping tons of notes. however notes from "previous runs" could be combined with a item you would find in the facility: next to the squeleton or corpse of a dead employee (not one of your party) you could find a few equipment items as well as a chance to have a drawn map, showing you parts of the facility

[@anicrue]

From a design stand-point, I don't think The Stranger is... the easiest to put in. You'd need entirely new room generation, if the flavor text is true. The playing of random noises and audio clips is actually the easiest part to code; after a period of silence is registered, record the first 5-10 seconds of player audio/speech or until silence, then replay a piece of that (you can fudge around with which part based on volume or pitch, see if you can't replay someone's death screech or an eriee "Oh no" as they fall into a hole). Then, play that or asorted in game player noises 8-12 meters somewhere vaguely behind where the player is facing, lightly muffled. The whole idea of The Stranger is AMAZING! Terrifying, but amazing. To incentivise experienced players, the scrap gen can be insane the further in you go, with the lore explination that it is both there to entice employees as well as those being the remains and gear of previous employees who died (boom-sticks, maybe hand held scanners, gold bars, apparatuses). One thing that might be fun is adding the ability for the dead to spectate their own bodies, if there are any, and to then have The Stranger drag any wayward corpses (fall damage) to a mouth. Watching your corpse get dragged away and swallowed by the jaws of the building, unable to communicate other than "I AM FORCING YOU TO LEAVE THE PLANET!" would be amazing. Or, to preserve the scare of getting lost and eaten, instead have the corpse pulled into the floor, like The Stranger is absorbing it.

And basically leaving no blood behind too and maybe also the loot that the player was carrying?

[@matijasostojic4288]

[@tortesh1635]

I had some ideas for creatures 1. Eekworm: (Uncommon Creature) An uncommon parasitic-like creature that can be found latched to many of the moon’s entities. It emits a destructive wave signal that interferes with walkie-talkies. This parasite is quite large and visible on any creature it has latched onto. It can be killed with a single use of a stun grenade or taser. It is immediately obvious when there is a parasite nearby, as any noise received from walkie-talkies will become jumbled making the player more defenseless for the entity that is hunting it. Additionally, this parasite blocks off all information received by the person viewing from the ship in a surrounding area (map will be contorted). The parasite itself feeds off of the blood/energy of the creature it is attached to, which is why it seeks to benefit them in their hunt. Additionally, the parasite will not be killed if the entity it is attached to dies, it can only be killed by stun/taser-like weapons or after it falls off of the now dead entity it was attached to. Although, the parasite will quickly retreat to find another host so it is advised to kill it quickly after. 2. Morphverk: (Rare Creature) This creature hides in the ceiling and *almost* silently latches onto the player when they walk underneath it. The player will continue normally, but when the player finds themselves in a group or with other players, it has a chance every few seconds to take control of the player, morphing them into an amalgamated monstrosity that chases the other players. The parasite could be removed through a single use of taser, stun grenade, or whack with a sign/shovel. It is extremely small so it is not easily detectable. 3. Cryfeeder: (Very Rare Creature) This creature will make whispering sounds when near any player, signaling its approach. Approximately 5 seconds after it stops whispering, it will attempt to launch itself at the person, attaching to their face. If the person screams, moves their camera, or does anything at all, it will kill them. If not, it quickly retreats back into the darkness. It is vulnerable while retreating and can be killed with a stun grenade, taser, or single whack of a sign. It is not vulnerable before it attacks though.

Given how deadly the outside can be already, I think it could be cool to give the Cyclops Serpent an ecological niche to interact with the fauna that spawns alongside it: its poison could be very painful and debilitating even for larger creatures, and as such the Eyeless Dogs and Forest Keepers could be rather unwilling to approach one when hearing and/or seeing its warnings. This could make for an interesting dynamic where company employees being chased by the apex predators of the ecosystem could run to one such Cyclops Serpent to temporarely defuse the chase and catch their breath, though they shouldn't linger too long near the danger noodle lest they want to find themselves poisoned as the serpent runs away and leaves them stranded with their now perfectly willing predator. Maybe, as additional balancing, they could be diurnal creatures and linger for just a few hours after the sun sets, so that the danger hours remain such.

It has prehensile control of the lure and can even mimic phrases it's heard. It'll stalk various team members, making walking sounds, and door openings, as well as the sound of loot being picked up. Once it's stalked for a while, it'll start using your voices to lure you in. The lure has two 'tells' so to speak, one being the way it moves looking odd, the other, a thin strand leading from anywhere on the body in the direction of the monster. It isn't very obvious, but it is noticeable if you look closely. The lure will try and use words that your team has said in relation to 'scrap' or 'loot' towards the angler's body, or what you've called a creature like if your teammate had said 'oh crap a brakken', it'll use that to push you away from the exits, and closer to the main body. It isn't very fast, but it can blend into the ceilings and walls it resides on well. Once prey is within striking distance, it'll leap at them with a scream, and once it's killed you, replace the old lure with your body, now feeding on the old one, so now, it'll appear on a radar as if you're still alive. It'll also prioritize using the voice of the dead player on the lure.

one thing i'll add onto the healing jelly visual design, I think it should look lore like a canister rather than a glass bottle. because something like the TZP inhalant is inhaled by being connected on the mask rather than consumed through where the mouth is. and maybe it even work better as a gas too, to work better with the mask idea, I feel like jelly would raise questions like it getting stuck in the mask(but now that I'm thinking about it, that maybe could be a mechanic, it having a chance to get stuck in the mask and slowly suffocate you)

Maybe you connect the jar liz to the mask snd guzzle it up, would be funny if it left some stains on the mask, maybe you'll burb if you eat too much covering the vizor with jam

Some sort of anti poison gas definetly works better than straight up food. Both for the reasons you've brought up but also there is a theory that there is a food shortage at either the company or humanity as a whole so it would make more sense to be like the TZP inhalant.

i like the backpack idea. I would say go further and add 1 clothing slot to players allowing them to wear 1 piece of clothing, changing how players play the game. Like a backpack to add +1 slot in your inventory, plated armor to reduce damage by a lot, but would weigh you down, or a tracksuit to allow you to sprint for longer and would recharge your sprint gauge a little faster.

[@catnipflowers5803]

What i like about the stranger is the Eldritch horror theme that is implied to exist because of the company store, and ties greatly into the procedurally generated horror of lethal company. The bunker doesn't kill you, only its residents. The Stranger is the exception.

[@metgaming9545]

i feel like an alternative for the backpack is a rusty wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow does not have inventory slots but instead depends on WEIGHT. it can hold around 50-60lbs of items before it inevitably breaks. Even so, the wheelbarrow can still break if its dropped, or damaged by a monster, turret, explosive, or weapon. Pushing items in the wheelbarrow is 2x faster than carrying it normally, though you will still slow down from stuff in the wheelbarrow.

[@Burning_Marshmallow]

A monster idea: Its a centipede-like-bat-thing that would eat up people’s bodies to “copy” them, it would use their player audio throughout the in-game day that they have spoken in, if the player didn’t talk at all, it would simply scrap the body and hunt for another one. To imitate player movement, it would move away from other creatures and avoid hazards, while also choosing a random reachable items to go towards so they don’t just stick in corners of the map doing nothing. To add to this, it could use louder audio if its near a creature, and use quieter yet more distorted audio if it detects players nearby either from seeing or hearing them. Once this happens, it would start speaking whatever audio clips they want from the body they ate (essentially random middle sounding audio), and then enter a roam state to either lure its prey towards it or to find the prey itself by chance.

audio copying is such a good concept that just can't never work it would become obviously repetitive and tbe fear of it being your friend or not wouldn't last for so long I feel it would be better if it didn't copy a player on kill but randomly copies a players username the second you get inside of the building it would be cool if it just took whatever the player is currently saying and regurgitated it like a speaker, just slightly distorted so you can catch on if it gets close to its original it will then go for the kill if it's near others I would decide not to but at this point I'm just saying a whole new thing

[@aarepelaa1142]

Honestly i think instead of recording audio snd playing it back, what if instead it was a duo hunter changing the audio sources of the players? So you could hear one another speaking and also respond to eachother, but the thing you hear is actually from the monster even if it's your friend talking.

[@chef_dude]

I LOVEEEE YOUR IDEA FOR THE FOREST GIANT, having the player give more of a chance against them and making them seem more like giant toddlers and I have an idea of my own for all the monsters already in the game too, what if they're were more interactions between all of them so it could seem like there's an ACTUAL functioning ecosystem? Like we already see how The Eyeless dogs and Baboonhawks interact aggressively with each other but what if they're were more? Like those Baboons running away from giants while the dogs try to fight it but fail and having the giant kick it away? Or when a bunker spider sees a hoarder bug and tries to eat it? Or having something to make the Snare Flea relevant with the other monsters... That's smth I think would be cool and make the moons and its creatures feel more lively

Give Snare Fleas the ability to drop onto other creatures. Sure, its a very situational addition, but it gives some strategy to spotting Snare Fleas; maybe you can catch a Bracken in it?

The Creatures idea: Changling: A small slug-like creature that can cling to the ceiling and the wall. Can be in any moon. When it spot player, it would launch itself at the target. If it connected with the player, it wouldn’t kill them but instead bury into the player. It would remain in the player, even when going out. The creature would split open the player’s chest (killing him instantly ) revealing the row of teeth if it spot another player. It can also not happen immediately. It will die in one shovel strike. Lung Squid: A cephalopods that only appear on the flooded moon which causes it to surface. It moves around the body of water and would used its six tentacles to catch any players who go near the water. It would drop the players into its gaping mouth when it caught one. Behemoth: A large Mammoth like herbivores that rarely appear on any moons. They are friendly to the players and its big sizes scares away Forest Keepers. The loud foot step they make also scares away Eyeless Dogs. Just don’t get step on by the Behemoth. It also advised to not stay with them for too long as they are a favourite prey of the earth worm. Living Trees: They are an immobile creature that looks like a trees and appear in forested moons. The only thing to differentiate between them is Living Trees “leaves” looked like hair. If the player got too close to them, the Living Trees would split the trunk revealing the maws and the tentacles would shoot out of the mouth to drag the player into their mouth. Winter Watcher: A white tall, thin entity that rarely and exclusively appears outdoors on the snowy moons where there is constant blizzards. Its head is a lantern that shines brightly in the blizzard. It never does anything, just watches the players from afar. It would get closer however and the players is advised to not stare at it or get closer it. Should the players stare at the watcher (especially at its head) or close enough for too long, they will burst into flames killing them instantly. The Eclipsed Ones: Appearing only on the eclipsed moons rarely. They are tall, wearing a black robes with a hood over their heads. If they appear, there would be about 12 of them circling the map and they would begin to chant. The players are now on the time limit. If the Eclipsed Ones finished chanting after 7 min, the huge squid faced hulking humanoids called, ”The Lords” would spawned rapidly across the entire map (At most 20) and would chased down the players to consume them. Firestarter: Appearing only on moons affected by misty weather they are a lumpy humanoid carrying a large fuel canister on their back, whose faces resemble gas mask and the right arm surgically fused together with the huge flamethrower. They wander slowly, constantly shooting out the flamethrower which has long range. If they spotted a players, they will aimed the flamer at them though players should always steer clear from their front. They always leave fires on the ground which burns anyone who run into it. However, Firestarter can be burgeoned to death by the players (though they have high hit point) to steal their fuel canister which has high value. The players should not hit the fuel canister on the back Firestarter as it will explode, killing both of them and the value will be significantly reduced. Thundermine: A small spider-like creature that has a tall blue crystal on its back. Appears during thunderstorms, they attracted lightning strikes on their crystal. Its cause a burst of electrical which will instantly kill anything near to the Thundermine. They can be killed for their crystal which have high value but they attract lightning strikes more often than any metal objects.

[@TextualDeviant]

9:17 There is in fact a random chance that, when a Forest Giant eats someone, they'll just start following people without eating them. You've probably seen this happen and assumed it's a bug, and maybe it even is in some form, but it was clearly intended as 'curious' behavior. Problem is, it's entirely random whether they enter a 'curious' state, and you can't know until they actually get up close to you.

[@drier_cola]

I absolutely love the Veiled Weaver, very well designed and extremely interesting in visuals and speculative evolution. The rest of the monsters and ideas presented are great as well.

[@TheHeavierToaster312]

Just to add on the whole stranger thing, I think that when you get to the hallway, every single monster would chase you down it, even though they are a hallucination. But the door at the end of the hallway kills you when you open it, as what it looks like to me, it is a door with a mouth behind it. Also, because this ‘stranger hallway’ would have rooms in it, I think that it would be cool if all of the doors are locked, BUT ONE, which would drop you off at a bricked door (like you open the door and get out, but when it closes behind you and you turn around, it’s bricked up). I also think that it would target “the bravest employee” (which would be whoever sprints the most) with more hallucinations, but the most paranoid employee would hear the most sounds. And to get rid of the stranger, everybody must exit the building through the same exit. And one last thing, the ghost girl will not spawn if the stranger has already.

[@onibarubary]

Legit think one of the better ideas would be to simply have more life that is either non-hostile or non-hostile but can add difficulty to your run without being directly damaging (makes it harder for you to see, if it sees you it makes loud noises which attracts other monsters, etc). Like the bird idea, maybe they just run off with stuff you leave on the ground. They don't have to attack, they could just mess up your trash packing tactics. Scanning them will be easier and helpful early game and if you get bad luck or mess up won't be as "welp, guess I'll die and not meet quota" as some of the more one shot enemies can be. Fun though those enemies are, but if all the enemies that get added are that level of danger...well you just become oversaturated with them. Which is why I like the hawkbois update, since they can be dangerous but there's a bit of a lead up to the pack attack. Which is to say, I like a lot of these ideas because for the majority of them getting hit or messed up can still give you options.

Item idea: Color Tapes, the color is randomised on delivery to add up some variety Uses: player crouching and hold click on the floor puts the line of the tape that can help players trace back to the exist without getting lost (Buy another one when run out) (only inside the facility) Item price: cheaper than basic Flashlight

[@thiagopose6370]

I would make that comms whit walkies are lost when inside the stranger´s facility after like 2 mins the first person comes in. Room generation signals would try to disguise the maze to the terminal so they dont realize so early of the stranger`s presence. I find this idea encouraging the use of radar boosters as they would allow the terminal guy to keep speaking through walkies within a certain range and improving visibility

[@blayas5239]

A concept that could be used more is the trapping of players by creatures before eliminating them, for example, some of the spiders' attacks could be non-lethal, leaving the player unconscious to be stored in a web to later be consumed if not saved. Another thing is that there can be more organic interactions between the creatures themselves, to create interesting mechanics and opportunities that the player can use. And a mimic that records excerpts from players' VoIP and uses it for its own purposes is an incredible concept with both horror and comic potential.

I had a monster idea while playing with friends the other day. Since the game already has plenty of eldritch horror and ethereal elements why not add- THE ANGEL It would appear like a biblically accurate angel… but dripping in blood if it kills a employee. When encountering the angel it will cause any enemy to de aggro from the player it locks onto, flooding the area in light. The player the angel locks onto has to kneel (crouch and look down) or it will “smite” them by causing their body to violently erupt leaving a skeleton behind which is lighter than a normal corpse and ejects all the players loot in random directions.

[@henrimarchildon5016]

While watching the part were you talking about improving the forest giant, I've got an idea on if the forest giant were to find 1 or 2 dead employees, there will be a small chance that it will play with the bodies like dolls. (Making them kiss or having a tea party, ect.)

[@thebigiron2950]

One idea for the backpack is the ability to store one a heavy item, i.e. bottles, axels, and the apparatus (with the only exception being corpses), making it quicker and easier to transport big ticket hauls back to the ship As for creatures, how about something that uses the corpses? A *Possessor.* At the start, without a corpse, its an intangible (and harmless) black fog, simply roaming the facility hanging low to the ground, easily mistaken for a shadow. However, once someone dies in any way that leaves a body (including pits, excluding getting webbed by spiders) the possessor will encase the body in it's shroud and posses it. The Possessed will point at danger, use flashlights, dance with a group, follow the closest person (staying at the back of the group), and collect things, prioritizing tools and high value scrap, even dropping and switching out based on priority. Once it's inventory has high enough "scrap value", or as the group gets close to the exits, the Possessed will discreetly run out of sight and away from teammates, being slower due to carry weight. Once caught and killed, the Possessed will drop everything and the Possessor will wander, unable to possess the same corpse twice. All of that, of course, is if you're in a group and somebody dies. If alone, or if no one dies, the Possessed will spawn anyways around midday, taking the name of a living teammate and avoiding them if possible. In this state, the Possessed will be more 'aggressive', focusing more on scrap than teamwork. The only major tells would be any wounds on it (including a spring head), and not speaking, and as an extra little twist, the dead can spectate the Possessed, and if teleported, it will immediately run for the entrance, no matter the conditions

That last one reminded me of a cool creature idea. The idea was that a slimy humanoid creature would wander the facility looking for players ofc. When this creature killed someone it would consume the player and assume their body. They will also play back voice clips recorded during the game and on the monitor it would be like the person is still there but they are not instead they are inside the creature. The player inside does not instantly die as the monster absorbs them and other players can beat the creature till death retrieving their friend.

[@timothywilcox1539]

I had my own idea for an employee impersonating entity, but I admit mine is far less ambitious than your own. I called it the neural Hijacker, or just the Hijacker. Its an entity with a small, bulbous pink body and several blue and red tendrils it uses for locomotion, resembling a human's neural system. It spawns commonly, but moves slowly, about 75% the speed of most employees, and its weak, taking only about 1-2 shovel whacks to kill. And its weak to the zap gun. Pattern wise, it usually just tries to approach the cloest human, and try to attack it. Its attack can be baited, but be warned! When it connects, you're dead instantly, and you don't leave a body. Because now it's in your body. In this stage, it moves just as fast as an employee and is indestinguishable from the one it killed. It will try and find other humans, having recorded 2-3 second snippets of dialogue it had over heard from the human it was stalking to. They use these snippets to call out to humans if no one is in 10 meters of it, but once they are they will start using the snippets randomly in response to any vocalizations the players give, often matching their octave with a line with similar octave. Such mimicry is obviously imperfect, but it will try to maintain the illusion for as long as it can. It won't attack another human once it has found one for about 20-40 seconds, trying to pretend to be friendly. It'll pick up objects that its host dropped and carry them to alleviate suspicion. When it's pointed at, it'll point back at the pointer. When music from a jukebox is playing or if someone is dancing, it will dance too. And after that time is over, or if it's ruse is seen through and it's attacked, it'll return to it's predatory state. It'll try and attack an unsuspecting player when their back is turned, and in their host the Hijacker is far tougher than in their base form, but they do not instantly kill anymore. But if they do kill another human, they will mesh with that one also, making a horrific mass that barely passes as two humans. Its speed is halved, its health is increased greatly, and it returns to its previous tactic; moving toward the closest employee to try and eat it and add it to it's biomass.

[@alttair17]

How about the ghost of an old man that when he touches you for the rest of the round the affected player can only see a version of the planet on it's prime rather than a wasteland, this also makes all monsters invisible but other players can still interact with the affected one. edit: you know what? I thought of a way to make him more interesting, the old man doesn't actively chase anyone and can be found in a random room, he looks very friendly and when he spots a player he beckons them to get closer with a warm smile, obviously those who where already haunted by him wouldn't want to approach him again, so how about making it a double edge sword, while monsters become invisible in his world maybe items become visible through walls as well, alternatively, the haunted player could be able the see and pick up items no one else can interact with.

Thought on some balance to your suggested items: - For the healing jelly, it could be used for ONLY healing, the poison curing functionality could be split into another item such as pills, of which could have two uses. Possibly with a mechanic such as using one pill cure slowly and using twice cure instantly - For the backpack, it could be separated into a scrap-only slot and a tool-only belt slot, allowing only one of each per player, considering the costs and weight - For the boomstick, it could be not only heavy but also two-handed, and possibly obtained by combining scrap instead of by looting the map, sacrificing some selling money - As for the handheld radar, it could have a very limited range, or freeze the user's position on the ship's radar, or even hijack the ship's radar entirely

1. For the snake they should have a 20% chance to be guarding snake eggs in bushes and shrubbery. This makes it more in the snakes favor since the stages will probably make it harder for the employees to fall for it unless distracted. So to fix this they should have eggs which cost a lot and by nightfall maybe those eggs can hatch which cause many smaller snakes with less developed venom glands to roam. This also makes the parent snake to become aggressive easier than before. 2. Once the employees get used to them they will become easy to avoid so I suggest that you add and item or something more cosmetic to the end of a hallway which resembles the weavers glowing eyes.

I will say that even before the cheese fix, a skilled employee knows that the thumper’s speed is reset when hit therefore you can backpedal and hit or move around them.

The veiled weavers design is super dope looking

Idea for An Infection: Molde respiratoriorum (Has 5 phases instead of the usual 2 or 3) Phase 1: GROWTH This is when the fungus appears on the map, and cannot attack you in early phase 1, but can in late phase 1 after like 2 minutes. (It spreads on corners, and you can pretty much mitigate infection entirely, by just walking past it) Phase 2: INCUBATORY Only things happening is that monsters become less aggressive towards you, for infection to progress. Also your vision will be slightly blurry during this. (Can be reversed with the Healing Jelly in this video) Phase 3: CALAMITY Victims Stamina bar decreases faster by around 15%, and vision is blurry on corners of vision and from far away (basically shortsighted) And won’t kill the victim but aids in the killing of it (Can be reversed using healing jelly again) Phase 4: Death This happens when Victim Dies and it’s basically Phase 1, but it grows on the corpse. Which makes it longer to revive and also makes it infectious if you hold it for too long. Phase 5: Rejuvenated spores After a period of time the fungus will die off if it’s on a corpse due to lack of moisture (yes it does survive off moisture) But some spores in the air around the body will survive and just find a another spot to repeat the cycle. EXTRAS: You can pick up the fungus with a shovel which is around a medium sized quota object worth, And you can use it against the jester to stun it for around 5s to 7.5s. And slow or Stun the other entities for 12.5s

i love that therussianbadger's first lethalcompany run was a 10 plus player game and the moment he was about to leave the ship with the others and then the forest giant that arived at the landing zone before the ship itself just reached into the thing, grabbed him like a turd off a toilet and ate him on the spot
