That would be a great idea

Yeah good point nukeGoose I like the idea of trimming them down. Maybe Dominance just boosts damage vs predators and gives a short buff after a kill, while the other perks could be trinkets. Same with Scavenger, keep it focused on tracking/extra harvests and leave the opportunistic loot stuff for gear. Makes it cleaner and more Obsidian-style I'll get working on it right away

At the mix.r you can see all the bugs that would go to attack you nearby I don't know if this is a glitch if feature
