The Banished Hive

This mod adds a hardcore start to the game, a new hive and a new style of gameplay, where your only friends are adepts of cannibalism, and your faction will be built with relatives of the Fogmen/DeadHive.


Okay, so; What's new:

-I've fixed the common Fogmen's stat multipliers, resistances, special foods, hit percentages, pathing and water avoidance values; so any mod that alters/fixes those is unnecessary.

-There's a new Hive in town, the Banished Hive, they're now part of the Banished Queen's essential force; They'll spawn alongside fogmen, but in smaller amounts; They are physically stronger then normal hivers, and some of them may possess different XP multipliers.

-This start essentially depends on your Queen, she posesses the ability to draw the Fogmen towards her cause, including the Banished Hivers, this ability is managed by a new dialogue script; at the beggining of the game you'll be able to recruit any of the Fogmen around you, but after one recruitment, you'll be set on a timer of 6 hours, after those 6 hours tick, you'll be able to talk with 1/3rd of the total Fogmen available, and if the one you wanted to recruit can't be talked to, you'll have to wait another 6 hours to tick by, and then you'll have access to a little more then 2/3rds of the total fogmen, and it may go up to 100% again if one awaits the total of 18 hours. Recruiting at any point will reset the timer.

-The Queen has some basic knowledge of production, i've done that to reduce the grinding a fair bit, and allow players to work on early bases after their first few raids.

-Don't forget that the Queen herself is barely able to fight, she'll not be a great warrior anytime soon, and that also builds up for her being a little slow and eating as much as an adult bull.

-Most factions are extremely agressive towards your cause and your hive, but you'll find friends amongst cannibalistic factions.

-Money has little use now, there are still a few groups you can trade with, but i'll let you figure out who they are. ;]

-Due to the player being unable to develop a base trough trading, you'll have to raid, all the time; Raiding early will have you looking for basic resources, food, wheatstraw, iron plates, fabrics, building mats, etc. And later on you'll be raiding for blueprints, better crafting materials and research material.


There's some more info in the description of the new start, and a little more on each of the new hiver's description. They're mostly about some lore i've created to explain how this faction came to be.
