So you think your base is tough, do you?
Welcome! Have you in the past built fortifications, prepared your base, crafted armor and secured your chests, then noticed that no threat ever shows up? This mod seeks to fix that.

The Invasion Mod gives you the ability to initiate an attack on the location of your choosing. The difficulty steadily ramps up and the mobs are designed to deal with base defenses. The behavior of all invading mobs has been extensively revamped. Most mobs have new abilities and there are some new mobs and substantially more powerful mobs on the way, geared towards new roles.
