Umoya a xeno organism [no mods | no scripts | no dlc]

VERY IMPORTANT:
after you pasted the blueprint: go to around 100m distance and set it to
the space pirates faction.
dont worry, it will not attack unless you get too close (90m).

Scientific Log 00-03-51 | Dr. Murakumo - Day 351 | G-S04P2: 08:53

06:21
As the sun rises over the planet, our sensors pick up a strange signature.
Analysis of the data shows a hovering object passing through the
upper atmosphere of G-S04P2 [Planetoid 2 of Gaya System 04].
We have decided to send out a drone to investigate the object.

06:42
The drone approaches the object. Visual scanners detect...
Thisis impossible! In front of our drone, a giant jellyfish-like creature rises up
against the sky... It.. it moves.

06:49
The drone observed the "thing" emitting a strange booming sound and
appears to be covered in bioluminal cells that glow with a bluish light.
We set up the drone to scan IT.

06:51
results are coming in, oh my goodness, the data...
bodytemp: 19C regular contration cycle: 4sec
12 segments, 3 dangeling arms? and 4 additional limbs

06:55
flying closer to the... i think, i'll call it Umoya, xhosa for 'the wind'
we are the first people to behold the Umoya. That is exciting!

06:56
the Umoya starts to roar, emitting massive soundwaves, readings show volume up to 200Db
WHAT? it attacks the drone! we lost it! it... launched something at the vessel!
we lost contact.

08:31
heard the strange sound near our base, as i took a break outside.
we really should pack our things and leave. I will auto transmit the log
to Humboldt-Research-Station later.

VERY IMPORTANT (again):
after you pasted the blueprint: go to around 100m distance and set it to
the space pirates faction.
dont worry, it will not attack unless you get too close (90m).

About the Umoya:
The creature is build to 'work' on 120km planets with high oxygen and up to 1.1G. (earthlike& alien (not quite as reliable))
It will start to ascend, glide down and follow a random path.
It does not detect mountains and obstacles and might crash into them.
Place it in a plain biome.

The behaviour is randomised and switches between passive and aggressive.
One 'phase' can last up to 7min, average interval 3min. However if you get to close, it will turn hostile.

passive: you can get as close as 75m to the Umoya - it will not attack.
aggressive: it gives visual and audio clues and will attack you within a 400m range.
once you hear a roaring sound - run. or fly.
the Umoya will launch 'spores' and 'missiles' against targets such as engineers, small/big ships & stations.
However, it only has a set amount of them, if you dodge them all, it is pretty much helpless.

Since this is made without scripts the behaviour is based on the drone AI (turret controls) and can be buggy some times

LAG Prevention:
1. spawn in empty world
2. toggle all 'Li - ' groups off.
3. detatch limbs?
This is my mk3 (each stage has atleast 20 sub versions) and took me over 70hrs to make...
i made it smaller once (80k pcu), i will not rebuild it a 4th time...

i highly recommend the 'edge-be-gone' mod by whiplash
