Ok I like the mod. But for me the noise the little bugs make is not loud enough to hear over the rain or sometimes over the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind. Also I live near redwoods. A whole forest of them in game. And I can hear the bugs on one of my redwoods. sounds wierd but That is the only time I have heard them loud enough because it was a calm peaceful day that day. I don't usually get many of those.

I tried this mod, I gotta say it's a really bright idea to make resin spotting very immersing. Unfortunately for me it causes minor lags as there might most probably some unpleasant interaction between this mod and one of the other gazillion mods I have installed. :/

Also I agree it would be nice to have the sound play with random pauses, a constant noise for the beetle isn't ideal.

Is it possible to add an option to make only unharvested resin logs produce noise?

Hey guys, so I tried the Buzzwords thing but turns out it is not a good idea for the resin log. User can easily get overwhelmed with feedback specially in dense forest areas (too many notifications) thus overlapping each other getting very confusing very fast.

Qal Hey, welcome to VS!! Glad I could help! ^^

This mod is excellent. thank you for your practical mods. I am new to VS and this improves my experience. 

I second the buzzwords type effect. I was just going to mention it, but you beat me to it. Jena_Thornwyrd

Herr_und_Meister I kinda agree, mod is a cool feature but it does make it a bit too easy imo to pick out where the resin is. I think a config for it would be nice since some people probably wouldnt like that change.

Hey SaltyWater, i really like this mod.

But for my personal taste, it is a bit to easy to gather the resin now.

Would it be possible to add some random pause to the beetle sounds, so that they don't occur permanently?

And could the radius in which we hear the sounds be customized with a config file? Would make this mod even better

Thank you for.your work!

Savou Deal! ;D

FerrumAvem21 Yes, I plan to bring a insect to terrapreta too, but I will wait to make that once 1.20 realease, since it will bring insects and wild life and I want it to blend well with the new update! ^^

SaltyWater Well, if it's something you'd like to do, feel free. Thank you.

Searching for resin is one of my few gripes with the game and I am so glad this mod exists now! I also checked out all of your other mods and I really like most of the manual ones you're doing. I am all for making the game more immersive and making use of UIs as sparse as possbile :)

Would you consider making a similar mod for terra preta, the idea to use insect or just natural life to point towards certain resources is great!

Savou It would be no problem at all!

Magmabot16 Hey! Yes I will be updating my mods once the stable 1.20 is out.

will this be getting updated to 1.20? prepping for a modded playthrough with a large group and this mod would be a great addition to our list

SaltyWater Oh no, I wouldn't ask you for that. Unless it'd be something you personally feel you'd like to make for other people. I just personally have a difficult time with directional sound these days, it's real tedious but not too bad. Thank you for the consideration though.

Maybe an option to have like the mod Buzzwords do with the hives ? SaltyWater

What do you think Savou

Omg this is amazing

Thanks guys you all are the best! ^^

Savou the mod spawns dark bluish particles in the log block to represent the beetles. maybe I can make you a special version with increased particles? It would help with the visibility at least.

Very cool idea! Would be awesome if infected (resin) trees spawned a beetle every once in a while that infected another nearby tree.

Wow, I never have trouble finding resin but if I did, I can't think of a more amazing way to fix it. Not only does it help find resin but also adds ambiance and life to the world. You even look at the resin in a new way. Instead of just seeing it as a way for the game to put the resource in your face. You see it as a sign of life in the world. This is pure genius.

Seeing this, makes me wish I wasn't 50% deaf.

Ffs SaltyWater how are you getting those ideas !!! That's effing GENIUS ! <3

Great little mod! 

Great little mod!

This along with the insects in 1.20 are gonna be so confusing and cool.

Jack67119 Thanks! Hope it helps with the resin hunting! ^^

Neat little mod, adding this
