🎮 MOD INFORMATION 🎮
Scape and Run Parasites update 1.9.6 modified and added quite a few parasites. Every single parasite tier has had at least one of their respective mobs tweaked; overall the quantity and variety of the changes is rather profound. In total, 19 mobs and 2 parasite tiers (Nexus and Preeminent) have been added. While 1.9.6 is the major update containing all these changes, I would HIGHLY recommend using the newest mod build/version to avoid bugs.

I know that this will be a really unpopular opinion, but I think that this mod went from a super cool concept with SOME balance to a unbalanced mod which is on the line of being a mess... There are too little gear added to help you with the OP parasites and I get that they are supposed to be these super strong foes but literally when its just 6 random parasites rushing to you all together you just know that its certain death. I hope they focus on adding more gear to help balancing cause I still think that the concept is AMAZING.

[@harbinger9824]

Well as a donor I know it might not be the chase since the main purpose of this mod is to make the player itself evolve new strategies with what they already have , like one of the main figures that leads the project its still completely against the armor that got added.

[@thatoneoctopus7494]

I agree whole heartedly... the mobs look amazing and the concepts are awesome, but its gotten to the point where it just flat out isn't fun anymore. if you even want s SMALL chance at surviving in a world with this mod you need to throw together like 400+ mods that can help you out with dealing with these pricks

It's a shame because it genuinely is an amazing mod. But you're practically required to install other mods that make the player stupid busted just to have an even playing field. And it sucks if you adamantly are opposed to installing gun mods.

[@LoinkLoink]

@@emirkoc7989 If you're telling me that the main way to get a fair and balanced experience is to kill several parasites in order to harvest materials to make armor that allows you to survive decently long against them, that is not a good solution. The first half of gameplay working my way towards getting that armor is still incredibly miserable. And hardcore playthroughs are pretty much not even worth considering. I'm just as opposed to magic mods as I am to gun mods due to how drastically they can change the gameplay.

@@LoinkLoink We dont even know what materials will be used for the armor, and i dont find primitive parasites that dangerous, i even saw someone defeat an adapted with nothing but diamond sword, shield, full diamond armor and flint and steel, all unenchanted, i dont think its as rough as you say. besides the mod is still a W.I.P too, not just the armor, give things some time. Also theres plenty of mods that just add stronger items, no magic or guns.

How to make this mod fun (with configs): Add the techguns and crafttweaker mods Remove adaptations Make them 10-20x weak to fire Remove all armor points Put global health amount to 50-70% of the base stats Use craftweaker to make recipes for the new gear (just for the option if you don't fancy guns) Turn off assimilated endermen

[@AurelianSkies]

I can't believe I'm seven days late to this video. That aside, there's some pretty cool stuff here, but as I said on your last SRP update video there are glaring issues when it comes to balancing. Personally, the main offenders for me are the enderman, succors, the Bogle, and the Haunter. Ever since 1.9.6 (and even in later versions), the enderman seems to be EVEN more aggressive than what it once was, as no matter where I went in my survival world I'd always be attacked by hoards of endermen and the mobs they teleported with them (as they can see through walls and teleport each other; I believe their detection radius may have been increased by a lot). Succors bother me because of the frequency in which they're employed by preeminent parasites, and their ability to teleport their summoner to them (something that can essentially one shot you since they have melee attack rate similar to a charging reeker) is ridiculous. As for the Bogle and Haunter, you pretty much got that covered in this video. I really do like this new adaption logic though, as having them become adapted to entire damage types was extremely annoying. Beyond that however, we still do not have a way to brew and make use of immaleable potions, nor were any new weapons introduced to balance out the introduction of these new and extremely powerful parasites. And I wasn't even aware of how punishing the entity orbs or dreadnaught pods from dispatchers were, but seeing them now has only strengthened the way I feel about this mod. It has amazing concepts behind it and great mob design, but extremely poor balancing. Here's to hoping things will eventually change.

[@CrimsonGamingMC]

While recording this video I was jumped several times by sim endermen, I guess they spawn in caves nearby and then teleport to you. I cannot describe how frustrating it was haha

[@br3hbmc79]

[@ABonafideSkeleton]

The modders need to pump the breaks cause they’re rapidly falling into the trap of quantity over quality. There’s just too much with not enough polish or balance, and at this rate the only way to make this mod actually fun is to download more OP mods or massively alter the config stats.

[@CrimsonGamingMC]

I feel like they're rushing to get all the content into the mod without, like you said, polishing/balancing anything. By the time they get around to do this, their player base is going to be much smaller

[@Rober253]

Sorry, but behind the updates you consider poorly polished there's a huge amount of work and dedication, with lots of bug fixes, balances and tons of early builds to test everything, features like preeminents aren't finished because it's a whole new tier for example, but they add alot of discreet details that enhances the deepness of the mod. I'm not against using the config to nerf them, but it's possible to play with vanilla friendly mods or some like crayfish guns which aren't op, combining anything with fire can kill almost any parasite now, not to say that with friends is even easier to survive. Just have patience, they're working now on giving tools to the player and more counters to the parasites (apart from having currently fire, weak points, cuttable tendrils, easier adaptation logic, evolution point decreasing...)

[@xavreim6957]

It seems that the mod isn't one that you should defeat just because you progressing, it seems that you have to SURVIVE while progressing endlessly through parasitic hellscape that consume your Planet in hyperspeed infection.

I really hope they or another mod will add a way to permanently cleanse the dimension your in of parasites from stage 8 to -2 but only in the dimension your in. Would be nice and adds and objective

[@ursfan]

As much as I love the idea of these new mobs being OP as shit I fear for the mods longevity. I'm someone who already tends to avoid fights in minecraft when I can, and I play with keepInventory on and mobGriefing off because goddammit it's my world and my play experience I get to the decide the rules, so I dont see myself getting particularly frustrated with the difficulty. That being said, the way I play the game is not universal, as a lot of the comments here make very clear. I do hope the devs consider adding counters to the parasites to give the player a chance. The idea of OP terrifying mobs is fun in concept, but when executed poorly it can really divide the playerbase.

[@dwerical]

It's so freaking insane. I like it

[@Herib104]

once this mod comes out to later updates lost trinkets will be a great counter to these (it can burn entities targeting you)

@@CrimsonGamingMC Yeah adding some kind of group of friendly npcs like an Earth defense force style faction with special parasite fighting weapons would be cool to.

[@emirkoc7989]

I dont think the mod will ever add its own guns or turrets etc since its intended for people to be able to pretend whatever they believe parasites to be, whether that be aliens, lab experiment gone wrong or some magical creatures, adding one or the other instantly goes against the other.

[@zacharyweaver276]

@@emirkoc7989 Well the parasites don't feel very magical. Nonetheless they'd go great for a high tech mod pack or just one that gives a lot of powerful tools and weapons to deal with them.

[@emirkoc7989]

@@zacharyweaver276 No, you can definetly pretend them to be some sort of eldritch creature and it works, absolutely nothing in the mod ever points to them being magical in nature, but absolutely nothing points to them being technological or alien in nature either, the devs want people to be able to believe the parasites are whatever they want them to be. For the rest, i agree, the mod does go nicely with gun mods, and does so with magic mods too imo.

[@DHS222]

I did a world on parasites where there were several islands. Eventually my island was overrun (stage 6) they grew underground and I couldn't do anything about it. I wish there was a way t9 fight back against them. Maybe add a fire weapon and make them less adaptive.

[@TheRealWalt]

I admit, I love the aesthetic of this mod. It is very cosmic horror-like and Lovecraftian, and it's clear that a lot of love has been put into it, but the main detractor here is that there is basically no progression for the player. It seems to be purely endgame gear, no mid or early game. It seems like this mod is meant to be played with other mods that allow for early to mid game gear, like RLCraft (which is a mod pack, I know) Also, there is basically no way to figure out the infection level of the world without a command. It would be nice to know what level the world is at so you can prepare. In addition, some lore behind these parasites would be nice. It seems like they just appear in your world without explanation. Maybe something like a meteor with a foreign parasite.

[@derrickhageman1969]

Btw 20 Minecraft ticks is exactly half a second in real time now that doesn't sound bad but once you consider that nearly all of the special abilities that most of the mobs have also run on that amount of ticks and the mobs in question have fast attacks

[@jnascimento7023]

[@pain2miedelicieux755]

To make the mod even harder, they should add a mechanic that if some type of hight tier parasite is low, the call all the litle one to him and asimilate them to heal itself.

[@thefunpolice2806]

I have managed a hardcore world with only minimum damage off and needler toned down it's probably the funnest experience I have had. Sadly 1.9.8 is completely broken in difficulty so hardcore worlds are impossible to start past 1.9.7 the reason being that the rupter changes in 1.9.8 make it so you will get to high phases extremely quickly so I recommend not using that version.

Tough but fair is the best way this mod should go, but we will see, I have faith they will balance things out. It is a W.I.P mod after all, anyway has anyone heard of the infection mod? It similar to scap and run but with a big different, I haven't seen much of it and I would like an update on it.

[@CrimsonGamingMC]

I dunno if they will balance things out, 1.9.8 buffed even more parasites. I think the devs are "balancing" the mod around modded minecraft, not vanilla

[@CairoFaustine]

The fact that some of the parasites variants attacks has no invincibility frames is just ludicrous

The concept of the mod is very good, the designs of the creatures are magnificent, but it has exorbitant design and balance flaws that make it unplayable and not very enjoyable, my respects to those who work on the mod, it is not an easy job, but a mod It is there to enjoy it and this is unenjoyable without making a fair balance.

The way I see this mod is that it’s probably designed to be played alongside military-themed mods, in order to allow you to get weapons and technology that gives you an edge against the parasites.

Its really disappointing that every update I end up having to change the damage and health in the configs for this mod. Everything else is fantastic for the most part, but the damage output almost seems like it assumes you will be 1v1 with a mob. The spawn rates of high damage mobs is absurd, and bullet hells are more forgiving than how frequently you get hit in this mod. It almost assumes you have other mods like draconic evolution installed to stand some sort of chance against them.
