Ursine of the Rim

This mod adds the Ursine races and their united tribes to your Rimworld. They consist of five different sub species of Ursine, each with a distinct look, origin, and stereotypical behavior as perceived by other races of the rim.
The Ursine tribes, and by relation the races that inhabit them, are quite peaceful and nature loving. Preferring a live and let live mentality when it comes to other settled groups, minding their own business and living in cooperative unity with the flora and fauna around them.
If provoked however it should still be noted these are bear kin, and are therefore possessed of inhuman strength and resilience, making them a formidable force when they have to take up arms to defend their land.
They are territorial, and though they will leave practically everyone else alone as long as they are shown the same courtesy, they have a low tolerance for trespassers that have not yet gained their trust.

-The Ursine Tribe-
The Ursine tribes are a relatively new force on the rim. Ursines have always had their place here, though their true origin has always been a bit vague. Some think them to be a genetic experiment, because of their similarity to Terran Bears. But true proof of this is practically nonexistent.
As decades have passed the various subspecies of Ursine, thought to all be derivatives of the somewhat rare Cave Ursine, have slowly gathered together to form tribes of their own, to be able to more easily defend themselves from the innumerable dangers of the rimworlds they inhabit. As more time passed genes have merged, and the lines between each subtype of Ursine has blurred. Though each one still has very distinct traits to show their heritage, especially visually in their fur color and pattern.
Ursine tribes vary greatly, but there are a few commonalities that have taken shape due to the nature of their species. Primarily this is a common philosophy of peace amongst them. They often seek to be at one with nature and live true unity with their surroundings rather than to tame and bend it to their will.
They do not wage war unless absolutely necessary, and often have a quite solitary and passive foreign policy, prefering to let others be as long as they are left to their own devices.
But do not get any delusions of weakness, if they or their home is threatened, the Ursine are a force to be reckoned with. Despite being low tech they still have their Ursine physiology, which lends them surprising physical capability compared to many other common races, and they should not be underestimated in a true confrontation because of this.

Some hats/headgear don't fit the Ursine head shapes too well
I recommend using the Appearance Clothes mod to disable any clothes you believe don't fit too well, found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1537867047
