(1.2) Poleepkwa Race Update

Description
1.3 version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2557294864

Update from 1.0 of the Poleepkwa mod by OTTU, found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1968713670
Post in this update's comments if you have a bug and I'll try to look into it.

Poleepkwa stats compared to humans:
-Social impact 70% (human 100%)
-Minimum comfortable temperature 24C (16C)
-Maximum comfortable temperature 34C (26C)
-Psychic sensitivity 150% (100%)
-Natural armor: 20% sharp, 10% blunt (0%)
-Leather amount 30 (50)
-Can eat cat food kibble without a negative moodlet

==========================================

Original description:

Adds the Poleepkwa from the 2009 scifi film, District 9!
Known better by their derogatory nickname, Prawns!

My first mod ever, be gentle. Σ(‘◉⌓◉’)

I wanted to keep it super simple so this doesn't add any
new items, weapons, or scenarios, just the poleepkwa and
their faction.

They can, however, eat kibble without a debuff!

These guys are HD! 512 x 512
Thank you to Ryflamer of Rimcraft
for the HD pawn sprites as a resource.

In the future I'll prolly try to be a bit less overzealous
with my detailing, but I was a bit excited with my first mod. :"D

==========================================

RECOMMENDED MODS:

It's recommended to have at the very least Graphics Setter
to make the poleepkwa textures sharp at the default camera
view, and even more recommended to have Camera+
to be able to zoom in on all their glory.

I also recommended Kenshi Apparel Pack, as it really fits
in with their aesthetic!

Hey everyone, i'm the original creator of this mod and I'll be updating it to 1.3 :) So no need to do any fan ports. It'll be up soon. And Milk -- you can keep this version up for 1.2 players! Thanks for maintaining it!

Waiting for this pack to get fleshed out further to be a viable faction with it's own tech. Patiently I will add.

I think the faction uses tribal weapons. But a poleepkwa colonist can use any gear a human can.

Hello, can they use spacer tech weapons? or are they limited to tribal
Milk  [author] 22 Jan, 2021 @ 3:28pm 
No, that's actually intended - these folks need some serious clothing to not freeze to death. I believe the hypothermia effects only start at 10 degrees below minimum comfortable temperature, though; they should survive temperate summer nights.

You seem to have missed a "-" before their minimum comf. temperature, it's at 24 above zero right now.

Calling them over for a visit works without any problems.

Also, if you notice the faction begin to work with Hospitality visits, let me know, otherwise I'll research that more.

Thanks for the report, I've just pushed an update that seems to fix the faction leadership. I also tweaked the name and description, and the racial stats.
