This mod requires AttributeFix to function. it will typically download alongside rota itself, but you may have to install it manually.

Just Enough Items (JEI) Is Not Required But HEAVILY Recommended.

0.5.0 SHOWCASE

*This mod is balanced with other infection mods (and some non infection mods) being played with it in mind, meaning taking on the asens with purely vanilla gear... wont yield fair results. difficulty settings may come in the future!

The Asens Are A Violent, Hateful, And IMMENSLY Powerful Race Of Vengeful Hyparparasitic Warriors. (hyperparasites are parasitic organisms that infect other parasites) 

The Asens Are A Very Deadly Force, The Player Must Summon Them Manually With The Forbidden Mirror (A Craftable Single-Use Item). The Asens Rampage Is Split Into Phases. 7 Functional Phases Currently Exist, Though There Are 15 Total Phases Planned. Phases Increase With The Worlds "Collective Hatred" Which Increases By Around 1 Per Day.

At First, The Only Naturally Spawning Mobs Are Sacculite Larva. These Will Eventually Evolve Into Sacculites. Sacculites Are Fast And Deadly Mobs That Try To Convert Non-Asens Into Their Repurposed Forms. Sacculites Themselves Have Some Nasty Tricks Up Their Nonexistent Sleeves, They Can Leap, Dash, And Have A Chance To Go Aerial When Brought To Low Health. Apon Death They May Explode And Drop Pods, Which Can Hatch Into More Sacculites, Spawn Nasty Blocks, And Explode.

Repurposed Forms Are Mobs Taken Over And Twisted By A Nasty Hyperparasitic Sludge Called The Asenrot. These Mob Are Violent And Each Posses Some Unique Tricks Up Their Sleeves Based On Their Species, But All Repurposed Mobs Can Spread Sludge, Call For Backup, And Repurpose Other Mobs.

As The Asens Evolve And Grow, They Gain The Ability To Create More Powerful Entities, Constructs And Virgins- Mobs Each With Unique Roles And Abilities, All Designed With The Complete Takeover Of The World In Mind.

Eventually, Once Refloration Phase Has Struck- Colonizers Will Rise From The Ground, Converting The World Into A Dark Land Made Of Living Decay... The Asenium Enclaves.

THE MOD IS IN A (Kinda) VERY EARLY STATE. HUNDREDS OF NEW FEATURES AND FLESHED-OUT EXISTING FEATURES TO COME!

If You Find A Bug Or Think Something Should Change, Don't Keep It A Secret! I Appreciate Feedback.

Rota - The Future

Rotas Future Plans Involve Compat With Other Mods - This Will Be Rotas Main Gimmick, Allowing The Asens To Use The Features And Mobs From Other Mods To Their Advantage.

Current Plans As Following:

Being the vengeful exterminators they are, the asens will focus on very specific "prey mods" as targets. these prey mods will have special compat with rise of the asens including new blocks, items, mobs, and mechanics. it is recommended rota is played with at least 2, though only using 1 can still result in decent experience.

-------------------------------------------------
Phayriosis - A large horror themed infection / zombie apocalypse mod that is still continually updated. Phayriosis, by The_Monbox- is a great standalone mod (seriously this one is goated), adding a parasitic infection that manifests in the form of a toothy flesh biomass. the mod itself is split into many phases where the infection gradually grows stronger- but the mod also offers a lot of tech elements! The asens and phayriosis will fight as 2 conflicting forces, with the asens actively trying to hyperparasitize the deadly abominations that phay throws at them.

-------------------------------------------------
Alex's Caves - A mod adding 6 new rare cave types to the world, complete with VERY high quality featurees. There are 4 specific caves rota will try to take over: Toxic Caves - Old, abandoned caverns riddled with radioactive residue and evacuated buildings. The Magnetic Caves - A dark cavern filled with blue and red magnetic neodymium crystals. The Forlorn Hollows - A guano (yeah, thats poop) filled cavern where some sort of cult may be occuring... The Candy Cavity - A Spacious cavern, converted entirely into sweets by mysterious magics. The asens will actively settle within these caverns, converting the terrain into a place of their own whilst using the mobs dwelling within these caverns to their advantage.

-------------------------------------------------
More Prey Mods Will Be Added To Plans As Development Continues

As For Other Plans? The Player Will Be Able To Choose To Join The Asens, Eventually...
