I thought they were fine at first but... After hacking my first one and seeing it crawling about it did give me the jeebies, ty for this mod lol.
Yup. They're freakin adorable 😁

so an arachnophobia mod kinda?

Darn, they look soo dumb! Instant downloading.

...they're kinda cute

Hey, I don't normally comment on stuff, but I just wanted to say, that I actually really like this idea. I've never really thought about changing locusts at all, but I legitimately like the direction of this design more than the original, regardless of phobias. I guess I just think "whacky robots" is simply a lot more interesting than "spooky bugs".

I guess my only criticism may be that I think it would look slightly better if they had 4 legs instead of 2. That way, they look like they could actually balance themselves.

Here's my really crappy attempt at interpretting what I mean, I guess(sorry, i'm bad at anything art):
Maybe their off animations could even just have their legs laying down like quadriped normally might. I think it woul make it more believable though while still retaining the goofy robot vibes that I think I actually like about these.

Jessterr The game engine handles shapes both server and client side, not separately, unless you hide some parts server side on the shape that both server and client have

Is it possible to make this mod a client-side one since all it does is replace their appearance?
