    This is definitely how I picture an Araneo if it ever got a TLC, being able to climb walls just like that and the jump is also a nice addition

    • @trainershade1937
      @trainershade1937 2 месяца назад +2

      IMO, an Araneo TLC shouldn't function like a jumping spider. I'd say the Araneo should lean more into web spinning. It should be an exceptional tool for slowing down creatures and blocking off passage. Some use case examples:
      You should be able to make slowing zones on the ground with web.
      You should be able to make doors harder to operate, causing it to take a few seconds to open or close.
      You should be able to assign an Araneo to a gateway without a door, it will then make its web in said gateway, effectively blocking it off and making it a wall.
      Perhaps you could even temporarily wall off areas manually, it'd be set up sort of like a zipline, albeit with much less distance.
      It should obviously also have the climbing mechanic, making it a good early/mid-game movement tame. It may also be cool if the Araneo had a limited pool of more potent venom that can be used separately.

    • @MariaSky7579
      @MariaSky7579 2 месяца назад

      @@trainershade1937 You make a good point. This makes me want to exclude the jump mechanic, leaving that to the jumping spider, and just make the Araneo climb walls/ceilings though your web idea and use of venom does sound very interesting

    • @Randomdudefromtheinternet
      @Randomdudefromtheinternet 13 дней назад

      @@trainershade1937I’ve though about this one for a long time. Like, it could swap between stances (a net launching mode, a grappling hook mode, and the aforementioned zip line mode)
      - The net launcher is similar to the Velonasaur’s turret mode, taking a stance which makes it walk on its 4 hind legs, while it weaves and holds a web on its 4 frontal legs (kinda like an ogre spider). The effects of the net varying depending on the size of the creature (small creatures being cocooned and rendered helpless, medium creatures held as if bola’d, and the large ones slows them and unable to attack)
      - The grappling hook mode is just an upscaled version of the crossbow ammo, but with the added effect of reeling in any target smaller than an argy and anchoring them to the ground for anything bigger than one.
      - The zip lines are perfectly as you describe, but rather of assigning the araneo to guard duty, what if the zip line when enough of them are anchored to the same door-less walls (maybe make an X form or * form) it turned them into an actual spider web (or just aim and shoot at the gaps with the net launching mode). Both zip line and web would be invisible to wild dinos and to enemy players that didn’t witness the zip lines/web being anchored (I really like the idea of making the zip lines into sticky snares)

  • @guanygoochyboojr.4313
    @guanygoochyboojr.4313 2 месяца назад

    i have several suggestions I believe can be beneficial to this mod:
    - same xray vision as snow owl
    - cross hair and, if possible, a lock on target mechanic since jumping spiders use their eyes as a natural aimbot
    -natural ghillie; wild animals will not aggro on the spider unless provoked. makes taming and caving convenient
    - an alt poison attack that does gradually increasing poison tick damage, but doesn't stack. If not damage, then the poison can at least slow or inflict passive torpor. The jumping spider should be able to finish small creatures at the very least, but 41 damage a bite isn't gonna cut it. This addition makes the jumping spider more of an assassin than a scout. The poison should also have a long duration. If the spider had to constantly jump in and out of combat to apply poison, then that defeats the whole purpose of my suggestion.
    I also find the passive taming weird. Jumping spiders are extremely perceptive to movement so its weird that it would just ignore you, even if you're wearing ghillie and a shield. Instead, you could drop food, back away, turn around so you aren't looking at the spider, and wait for the jumping spider to lower its guard and grab the food. Rinse and repeat.

    They're in caves on the Island. Only places I've found any are in the Lower-South, Lava, and (very rarely) in the Swamp Cave (which doesn't matter since you can't tame out of this cave) so far. Keep an eye on and around ceilings, since that's where they like to spawn. Most have bright colors, so they tend to stick out. The Lower-South Cave has been consistent for me.
    Please note that these are from a limited number of initial tests, but I have checked every cave on the Island.
    Also, it's listed as a "Thorax Spider" instead of a "Jumping Spider" for some reason. The Spiders also seem to poo 'Silk', similar in the same way that Achatina poo Paste.
    And the Gecko tail doesn't seem to work except as a distraction if they are aggro'ed.
    Will try to update as I go.

It was already difficult with the lack of consistent megalania spawns already

    I'll admit this mod is incredibly well done, but unfortunately i'm cripplingly afraid of spiders, so I'll have to pass on this one!

      I'm a bit arachnophobic myself, usually depending on size. Something with a leg span of half an inch no problem... bigger and I want it gone, those australian ones? I can't even look at it.
      HOWEVER... spiders in games have rarely been an issue for me, like the Araneo isn't a problem in the slightest. This one I'm fine with and I think it's largely because of the proportions, the short stubby legs help.

    Wish we got the "official" version, of this. A little too 'plushie' for my taste.

    Just one thing, why aren’t they attacking you, jumping spiders are hunters, and at that size they should be apex hunters ? They are too soft compared to the real thing.
