Suggestion as somebody who’s done a quick playthrough of your mod: You should really replace the spidermoth’s “roar” with something more bug-phobia inducing. Personally I find its current roar obnoxious and annoying, with no real scare value to it. Why the heck would THAT THING sound like some vocoded person yelling? I think a better piece of audio to scare the player would be some really, really pissed off and loud buzzing typical with that of a angry wasp or hornet, with some tarantula hisses mixed in for good effect to fit the whole “spider” theme. That type of buzzing really triggers the fight or flight response in my opinion, and would be way less obnoxious to the ears but still just as if not more scary to hear when it finally lunges at you. Also, can we get more tameable spiders? I really wish we could befriend the widow, long legs, or vanilla spiders. They’re kinda cute with the exception of the widow. Plus the widow could make a really powerful mount/battle pet considering it’s web skills, large size, tanky health, and venom. It would make the bug jar more useful too.
Agreed, I'm planning to create more sounds that match up with the arthropod design, especially buzzing/wing sounds (like the ones just added with the new rhino beetle mob), but my reasoning with the current sounds was also to add some vague humanoid elements, since it stands upright and acts somewhat like mothman - Compared to the other arthropod expansions, this one is uniquely humanoid and distorted. Yes, definitely planning more tameable spiders :) In fact, I'm planning a tameable version of the spider moth obtained after killing an even more powerful version of it. A mount will definitely be coming! 👍
I kind of hate the “*insert word here* dweller” mods, but this is pretty cool, could I ask that, (if this is your mod) you just make it “Moth man” or something?
Thanks! At the moment, the dweller trend is carrying a lot of hype and could promote this more, but once that fades I'm planning to rename, possibly just to Arthropod Phobia Expansions :)
@8696Hey! You requested the mod in my modpack 'The Everlasting Fog' and I added it in, and also don't worry about changing the title I think it's completely fine especially with the entire hype train going on right now. (Especially since it brings in actual money around every 5,000 downloads = 5$USD.) Just do whatever makes it grow. (I do actually like the idea of it being called Moth-Man (Dweller) or something like that though, especially with the entire idea behind Moth-Man, even if Alex's Caves has something rather similar at the moment. I think Fallout 76 pulled it off really well with Moth-Man randomly appearing around the map and being a real menace which really makes you go 'what was that'?)
@@dragonknight8280 100% - The best way to promote is attaching to the current trends, even if it is unique. That's a consideration, recently I've been adding stalker/mystery versions including one that flies around in the sky circling the player. Will keep refining and considering further moth-man related ideas 👍

Or just name it “spider moth” and that’s it
@@Cleff_swine Will do at some point!
