Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.0-rc.4, 1.20.1 - 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.20.5 - 1.20.6, outdated):
UpgradeableLocust.zip  1-click install


This mod is made as a companion mod to "Repairable Locusts" The recipe and stats are based around the ability to acquire the hacked locust item and keep them mantained! While this mod CAN work on it's own, it is not designed to. (v1.2.0 and above are needed for the compatibility to work!)

Want your bronze buddy to pack more punch? Jealous of those sawblade locusts that keep slicing you apart?

This mod lets you upgrade a hacked bronze locust into a sawblade variant. Note: it does NOT add hostile bronze sawblade locusts!

While your upgraded locust still falls short of those twisted corrupted sawblade locusts, the combat capability increase of the bronze sawblade locust is nothing to scoff at. Although it does come at a price:

  • 1 Steel Plate
  • 1 Complex Joint (Jonas sub-assembly)
  • 1 Consumately Crafted Gearbox (Jonas sub-assembly)
  • 8 Metal Parts
  • 1 Hacked Bronze Locust
  • 1 Bar of Solder.

Wrench (75 Durabillity)

Hammer (25 Durabillity)

Soldering Iron (1 Durabillity)

Must be a clockmaker!

The stats of the resulting bronze sawblade locust are:

  • 25 Health
  • 8 Damage (Slashing)
  • Damage Tier 3

On death the locust drops a pile of parts that are repaired exactly the same way as the non-upgraded variant.

This mod has the same green eye styling of Hacked Locusts, and should work fine with it.

How do you get your hacked bronze locust into your inventory to craft this?

Ah, that's unfortunate. I will miss the ability to build my boy Geoffry the sawblade locust.

Sadly due to how I reworked Repairable Locust currently there is no plan to update this, since you no longer really get a locust item to upgrade. It also presently does not work due to the changes to where locusts are defined in the update.

Pal_5000 Hello! Wanted to check if this mod is working with 1.21, I saw that your upgradeable locust mod got a big update to 1.21 and was curious as to if this one will be updated as well soon.

Hello, on 1.20.12 when booting the game this message shows up:

16.7.2025 20:39:22 [Error] Patch 7 (target: game:entities/land/locust-hacked.json) in repairablelocust:patches/locust-patches.json failed because supplied path /server/behaviors/7/aitasks/1/damageTierByType/*-bronze-* is invalid: The json path /server/behaviors/7/aitasks/1/damageTierByType/*-bronze-* was not found. Could traverse until /server/behaviors/7/aitasks/1, but then 'damageTierByType' does not exist. Full json at this path: {

It seem to be an error notice, but I dont know what it affects other than it seems to be related to the locust AI

YellowWizard 1.19.7 Should work fine for it.

💬 YellowWizard, Jan 16th at 6:46 PM

A non-corroded sawblade locust friend! Oh, this is lovely!
