Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2 - 1.21.4, outdated):
polylocusts1.0.2.zip  1-click install

A mod to buff Clockmakers by allowing them to have a swarm of locusts by removing their jealous attack behavior. Hacked locusts will no longer attack each other, though they'll still seek each other out and act as a swarm.

Also put in a patch that will allow fixing Hacked Corrupt Locusts if you have Repairable Locusts installed.
Right now it will say you need Repairable Locusts. I'll publish another version that's dependency free for those who just want multiple locusts.
Removed this feature until I can make it work with Repairable Locust installed.

I noticed this is just a content mod.  Can anyone confirm it still works on 1.22.2?

Honestly very good idea, the vanilla clockmaker class was severely lagging behind others

My hacked locusts keep killing each other, is the update appearing soon?

I'll see about updating it tonight. Might be delayed if it needs a more complicated fix.

Promethion, Sep 23rd 2025 at 9:09 AM

do you have any plans of updating this to 1.21.x, or if not, know what might need to be changed to get it working in the new version?

This appears to not be working in 1.21.1. My hacked locusts keep attacking each other. :( I can get them to Wait with Repairable locusts but if they're on follow mode they attack each other.

There's no limit to how many locusts you can have

Ijkdenem, Feb 9th 2025 at 2:40 AM

how many locusts can i have and does it matter what type of locust = amount tamed? in other word do we get more basic locusts but less of the stronger varieties like buzzsaw?

Yep, this looks way too fun not to give it a try. Thanks for the new toys kind modder.

Locusts were bugged for some of the early release candidates and were attacking all sorts of stuff as apart of the base game, probably that at play.

It will! All of your hacked locusts will play well together even the Hacked Sawblade Locusts. You can also have multiple of those as well if you can get the resources for them. I haven't been able to get them from killing vendors though ^^;

This looks fun, I tried having a locust when repairable locusts first came out. But had to give it up. My locust kept killing vendors. Perhaps ill give it another try. Who needs vendors when you can have an evil swarm. Do you know if this will work with the mod that allows you to upgrade your locust to a saw blade?
