Hostile Scaling

Make hostile creatures a contender. As you climb the milestone tiers, hostile creatures grow tougher, hit harder, and respawn faster — so the planet stays dangerous even after you've industrialized half of it.

What it does

- Health scaling — hostile creatures get real scaled max health (health-display mods show the true numbers)
- Damage scaling — creature attacks hit harder (melee, projectile, and explosion damage all covered)
- Spawn scaling — faster respawns and denser packs
- Tier progression — every multiplier is `Base + PerTier × your highest unlocked milestone tier`, with a configurable cap

Lizard doggos, tamed creatures, and passive fauna are never affected.

Configuration

Everything is adjustable from the mod's panel in the Mods menu (main menu or pause menu) and applies to a running game within ~10 seconds — no restart needed:

| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Health / Damage base multiplier | 1.0 (vanilla at tier 0) |
| Health / Damage added per tier | +15% per tier |
| Spawn rate added per tier | +10% per tier |
| Maximum multiplier caps | 5× health/damage, 4× spawns |
| Scale damage to buildings | off |
| Increase spawn counts | on |

With defaults, by tier 9 hostiles have ~2.35× health and damage and ~1.9× spawn rate. Crank the per-tier values and caps for a true nightmare planet.

Notes

- Works in multiplayer (host/server needs the mod)
- Scaling never compounds across save/load — always computed from vanilla values
- Stacks with other creature mods (MoreEnemySpawns, BloodMoon); their effects multiply together, so start gentle if you run several
