Xozkov no mob changing mods except adding more like feverstonewilds.. doesnt seem to work in singleplayer either, no visual overhaul mods either except one that changes weapons.

OkayRelax do you have an mods that tweak enemies? rebalance mods or visual overhaul mods?

Xozkov yeah that didnt work.. must be a mod conflict, any ideas what it could be? id figure it out myself but there doesnt seem to be any errors relating to it

OkayRelax I uploaded a test version. If that doesn't work then it's probably a mod conflict

me and my friend are trying to use this mod on our server, uploads to our server fine, but it doesnt function, game plays as if the mod is not in ther servers mods folder *shrug*

Sadly no dice.. When I do that, it extracts into a new folder and then it resumes with not letting me put the original zip file into the mods folder...

Edit: NEVERMIND I MANAGED TO GET INTO THE FOLDER! Will let you know if the mod functions, thanks for the advice <3
Edit 2: The mod is fully functional :) tho the apostrophe thing might be a good idea, none of the other mods I have installed have one, so you might be onto something.

Yeeh damn. Well someone did manage to fix it a few months ago, because they told me this:

"When I put the .zip folder with the mod into another .zip folder, it was possible to upload the file to the server. After uploading, I extracted the .zip folder with the .zip folder with the mod in the server files and everything works fine"

Try this maybe? EDIT: It could be an issue with the .zip folder name itself, remove all spaces and the apostrophe from the name and see. If that works, i'll update the mod

Nothing has changed sadly :( this is the only mod that has ever given me this problem which sucks...

Yeeh MetallicGal I updated the modinfo.json to match the new standard so it might be fixed now, but I can't know for sure. Let me know if it works for yall

I am also getting server issues when trying to upload the mod into the mods folder, it just refuses to upload. It actually did the same back in 1.20 and still does it now, though it may have something to do with using a third-party server hoster (I use HostHavoc), are the other guys also using a third-party host service?

MetallicGal so far you're the second person to mention server issues. can you send some more details here or over the discord? the mod is required over server so I don't know what's causing the issue

my server wont let me upload it. it fails 

Would be nice if the bigger and stronger drifters took less knockback, so they would feel like they have more weight to them

This mod deserves all the praise. I just installed it on my server and we happened to have a storm right after and the attention to detail in the animations and sizing of the drifters is just fantastic. All the love <3

bintoss should be fixed now

Thank you guys for enjoying the mod!

It probably doesnt matter (other mods work as expected despite supposed missing textures), but...

This looks way better than Vanilla. Now, danger is better visualized! Thanks.

hey Xozkov, minor thing, but getting a  missing texture warning for drifter/tainted2, shape file drifter/spiked1

Xozkov oh! Man I lumped all monster enemies as "drifter-type" in my brain and confused myself in pure pokemon fashion. Thanks for claryfying!

ChiefKrogan the mod doesn't touch shivers, it just makes drifters look more like them and bowtorns

Is this compatible with Shiver Tweaks? Because this looks amazing but I also love the shivers running up walls to chase me, gives it reall horror-y vibes. I was wondering if those two would clash considering the new animations and models added here.

Your mod is great I love it, thank you so much. :)

Yarro I don't play with combat overhaul so I can't know for sure. It's specifically Maltiez's weapons? Click my discord thread link next to the files tab, and you can send specifics there. There may have been a change to combat overhaul that null'd the patch (edit: I tested it myself and it's working just fine on my end. Did you recently install combat overhaul? There could be an installation error, like maybe you didn't clear the mod cache or restart after downloading it.)

MooFah Yes, its safe to install/uninstall at any time 

Hi, I have version 1.2.4 with Combat Overhaul on a 1.21 server and I've noticed that some of the CO weapons don't register hits on Drifters that vanilla weapons hit. I suspect it's this mod, let me know if there's anything I can send you here or on discord to help out!

can you add this to an existing server?

so good i literally forgot i had it installed and thought those are vanilla drifters.

this is how they should look in the official game 

Xozkov No worries.  Saw it and figured I would toss you a heads up, just in case.  All good and thanks again for the keeping the mod going!

Gortomo Those are leftovers from where I import textures and stuff, I forgot it was there tbh I didn't know it showed up in the logs. As for the missing attachment point thing, I genuinely have no idea what's causing that issue

Saw this in the log as I was looking for something else and thought you might be interested.  Referencing a onedrive location that doesn't exist, probably needs to be pointed to something in the mod.  Cheers.

[Warning] Entity game:drifter-nightmare with shape darcesdrifters:entity/lore/drifter/knife seems to be missing attachment point center but also has the FloatUpWhenStuck behavior - it might not work correctly with the center point lacking

Xozkov The 'Brooder' idea sounds amazing! I will say that while yes you can make exploding enemies as ive seen from a few other mods they kinda suck to fight against and dont add much to the game except for the ocasional jumpscare. Amazing work though!

Kenneth1109 I've had some ideas for original lore-friendly rust creatures, but that might be far off until I fully understand how to create entities. One idea I had was a 'Brooder' which is a essentially a walking locust nest, with locusts crawling inside the brooder's enlarged ribcage. There's also the 'Scrapnel' which is the generic exploding enemy that I'm not sure is possible to make in VS, and some other traditional enemy archetypes

Amazing redesing! I've been missing this mod, the rustmonsters dont feel the same without it! 10/10 Bowtorn in a dark corner!

Will there be plans to add more enemy types in the future beside the Drifter, Shiver, Bowtorn, Loacust, and Bell? There arent many mods that add their own enemy types (rustbound isnt my cup of tea with the nests and all) beside the fantasy creatures mod, and I prefer rust based enemies.

webp_Inept I've been in the planning stage for a possible shivers/bowtorns redone. My only hurdle is trying to come up with unique and fitting designs for each enemy

This mod is great it would be so much cooler if it did somthing similar for shivers and bowtorn

@MrApothic, something like this? https://news.kalataka.ru/show/mod/28176

Are you by chance also improving the behavor of the drifters? Cause the vanilla experience of the drifters are very bland and I hope to see a possible overhaul of their logic.

PenisMan Actually Darce is reworking Rust and Rot with crazy new drifters and such. If you're in the discord then look for the rust and rot thread to see progress

Since you worked on Darce's Drifters mod Are you planning on redoing Rust and Rot as well?

It's never been updated in nearly a year and it has a bug where killing a Miasma's flies causes the game to instantly crash.

Blackguards seemingly hit way too hard and the run at a FULL SPRINT despite being in full Blackguard armor and rotting away for god knows how many years?

Roggle Rustbound's description says "Mods that try to patch drifters should not crash the game, but won't do anything since vanilla drifters are disabled." which means it technically works, but they won't spawn. Reenabling their spawns will make them coexist but they might not interact with the rest of the enemies from the mod without a seperate patch. You could do that, but rustbound has its own artstyle that might not fit with these designs

Is this compatible with Wilderlands Rustbound? That mod says it should disable all other drifters for stability, but also it lists compatibility with another mod by Darce. 

I hope so, these models look very well done.

This mod should be part of the game rather than just a mod. I hope the developers use it in a future game update 10/10

ahh, i did add it at the same time. my bad. I do love the reskins though!

Madalovin I would like to but the problem with that is the changed hitboxes. Theoretically it would either cause terribe desync or not work at all. If I rescaled them to use vanilla drifter hitboxes then it kinda defeats the purpose of the mod lol

TheRealFlynn haha I think you're mistaken. The mod does not change sounds so you might be thinking of the Temporal Symphony mod but im glad you're enjoying it!

the sounds alone are worth it. Still new to the mod but it's fantastic and should be vanilla :) Drifters sound like their trying to rev up an internal engine. Super great addition to my playthrough. :)

Is there a variant of this where I can have the cosmetics as a client-side mod? I love the work you've done with it but I'd like a means of playing with it without having the owner have it. c:

Xozkov I do have one that changes their grunting sound but I tried disabling it but that also didnt change anything, and no im on 1.20.12. Maybe im just doing something wrong

NotSoRants It could be a conflict with a mod that changes drifters in some way. Do you know which? Or are you on 1.21 pre-3?

I am finding that this does not change anything, drifters still look the exact same, is there anything that could be causing this?

Leoepard I'm not sure but I assume it does. The mod is simple and safe to install/uninstall at any time

This might be a dumb but does this mod work on 1.20.07?

Just want to make sure before I add it to my 250 hour world this mod look amazing.

merryclefairy I'm aware of it, it was an issue with the original mod, but it has never caused any trouble i'm aware of so I never bothered to investigate it. I'll check to see what exactly is causing it 

hello, i noticed this happening in console log just briefly so there may be other creatures affected: 

 
21.6.2025 20:24:32 [Client Warning] Entity game:drifter-deep with shape darcesdrifters:entity/land/drifter/deep seems to be missing attachment point center but also has the FloatUpWhenStuck behavior - it might not work correctly with the center point lacking

General_JOE I keep forgetting about combat overhaul lmao. Will be a quick fix, expect the update in like one minute

I think that the new surface drifters are also lacking animations in combat overhaul haha

I catch myself shouting "Ayo what the fuck!" a lot, thanks :)

General_JOE Got it! Original mod didn't have the combat overhaul StandAttackSlash and StandAttackPunch. I added both, and gave the double headed drifter a chomp attack animation for attackSlash.

Testing with the new update rn and it seems like the attack animations (except rock throwing) for the corrupted and double headed drifters are not working. They just kinda stand there and hit you magically lol

Playing with combat overhaul, just to be clear

Toothbrush Do you have any more info? That seems strange but maybe there's an error somewhere

Works on a solo world but makes game crash if on server.

Mokkel I'll check, but my partner and I just got off our world a few hours ago and it was working just fine. Can you tell me what mods you have? It's possible one of them might have some sort of conflicting patch that isn't on their mod page (edit: I can confirm it works on my end. Send me a client or server log if you can)

MarsTrimis I haven't heard of that one but if it only affects sounds, then it def should be. This mod only touches textures/shapes/hitboxes (edit: can confirm it works!)

JessBonklet Thank you!!

I can't seem to get this to work for 1.20.12 - not using any other mods that would affect drifters:)

is this compitble with scarier drifter sounds? 

Great mod! 10/10
