CollectorGrounds

What this mod does

This mod expands the Collector Leviathan’s patrol territory and detection range in Subnautica 2.

• Makes the Collector roam a much larger area [/*]

• Reduces the feeling of invisible AI boundaries [/*]

• Improves detection and pursuit behavior [/*]

• Keeps the original AI personality and utility system intact [/*]

The Collector now seems especially interested in playing with the Tadpole, and exploring dark areas without flares may no longer be the best idea.

Changelog V1.1

• Reduced the Collector's sight range. [/*]

• Reduced long-range aggression compared to the previous version. [/*]

• The Collector is less likely to notice and pursue players from very large distances. [/*]

• Adjusted obstacle avoidance behavior. [/*]

• The Collector will now try to get closer to terrain, cliffs, cave entrances, and other obstacles instead of turning away as early as before. [/*]

• Because of this, it may sometimes be able to reach players hiding near terrain where it previously would have given up. [/*]

Thanks for the feedback and testing. More adjustments will come in future updates.

Known Limitations

• Future game updates may require adjustments[/*]

• The aggro-range is very high to prevent despawning, tweaks will come soon[/*]

• It somehow could despawn when out of sight for a period of time before it spawns again near the sparse plains[/*]

• Currently attracted to vehicles moreoften than divers

V1.1[/*]

• May occasionally get stuck in terrain (rare) [/*]

Feedback

I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas to improve the mod further.

Especially interested in:

• how the new patrol behavior feels [/*]

• whether the Collector is too aggressive or too passive [/*]

• good balance between tension and frustration [/*]

• interesting encounters or unexpected behavior [/*]

• performance or compatibility issues [/*]

The goal is to make the Collector feel like a believable territorial predator — not an unfair death machine.
