Overview
Pheromones adds the ability to coarsely manipulate the behavior of biters in an area, by producing chemicals that imitate ones they use to communicate.Details
Pheromone-imitating chemicals are made through the normal chemical processing channels (including heavy BobMods integration if present), and are sprayed into the air with a special aerosolizer machine. This will change the behavior of every biter in range at the time, making them do one of several things, based on which pheromone is being emitted:- Relaxation - this calms biters down, and makes them idly wander about in the area
- Swarming - this makes biters all rush towards the emitter, though not attack it
- Intimidation - this makes biters flee in all directions from the emitter until they are out of range
- Frenzy - this makes biters go into a blind rage and attack everything in sight, including each other
- Devolution - this does not affect only local biters, but across the map, gradually reducing the evolution factor

Configuration Settings
This mod contains several config options to modify values and behaviors - such as for balance or server safety concerns, or simply personal taste - to your preferences. Note that several settings may have bounds imposed on their values, either logically or explicitly; these can usually be seen in the actual settings files or ingame. These are listed in order found in the source code, which is generally the order in which they were added; They may be present in a different order ingame or in the configuration files.The settings for the mod, when installed, can be found ingame, in the mod settings menu.
