Description
Tweaks to Hivers from my Races Rebalanced mod.

These changes only affect West Hivers.
For changes affecting South Hivers, check here.

This is only a part of my mod that adjusts all of the base playable races. For the full mod affecting all races, check here.

CHANGES


Universal
  • Right Arm Hit Chance increased to 60 (from 40)
  • Chest/Stomach Hit Chance increased to 140 (form 60)
Different hit chances across the races are somewhat arbitrary and make balancing them more difficult, so I entirely universalized them. These hit chances were changed to match those of Scorchlanders/Shek.

Hive Princes
  • Head HP buffed to 100 (from 80)
  • Chest/Stomach/Limbs HP buffed to 95 (from 80)
  • Heal Rate buffed to 1.5x (from 1.0x)
  • Vision Range multiplier buffed to 1.1x (from 1.0x)
  • Strength XP multiplier buffed to 0.9x (from 0.8x)
  • Toughness XP multiplier nerfed to 1.0x (from 1.2x)
Buffs to help bridge the gap between Hive Princes and other races, while still ensuring that they're slightly weaker. I gave Hive Princes slightly more Head HP so that there's slightly more incentive to play them over Hive Worker Drones. Heal Rate buffed to heal 1.4 HP per 22 minutes (slightly better than Hive Soldier Drones’ 1.3 HP per 22 minutes). Vision Range multiplier is slightly increased to better fit the "scout" niche of this race. Strength XP multiplier buffed to match Dexterity XP multiplier buff that I made to the Shek. The Toughness XP bonus didn't make sense considering the fragility of Hive Princes, so I removed it.

Hive Soldier Drones
  • Heal Rate buffed to 1.3x (from 1.0x)
  • Weather Immunity buffed to include Duststorms and Gas
  • Medic XP multiplier buffed to 1.0x (from 0.8x)
  • Athletics, Melee Defense, and Polearms multipliers buffed to 1.2x (from 1.0x)
All body part HPs were originally buffed, but I quickly realized that those buffs practically made Hive Soldier Drones entirely superior to Humans due to the Soldiers' utilities. I gave Hive Soldier Drones an increased Heal Rate to better fit their utility niche, and heal 1.3 HP per 22 minutes (slightly better than Scorchlanders’ 1.2 HP per 22 minutes). Heal Rate is lower than Hive Prince/Worker so that there is incentive to also play them. A lack of immunity to Duststorms and Gas is the main glaring problem with this race, so I gave them that as well. This also adds some extra utility compared to Humans, since now they don't need to carry different headgear for different environments. Medic XP is buffed since it didn't make sense to me that soldiers would be poor medics. Athletics XP is buffed to match the other Hivers. Melee Defense XP is buffed since they are a combat race. Polearms XP is buffed since they use polearms.

Hive Worker Drones
  • Chest/Stomach/Limbs HP buffed to 95 (from 75)
  • Heal Rate buffed to 1.5x (from 1.0x)
  • Vision Range multiplier buffed to 0.9x (from 0.5x)
  • Strength XP multiplier buffed to 0.9x (from 0.8x)
  • Cooking XP multiplier buffed to 1.0x (from 0.8x)
  • Toughness and Turrets XP multipliers nerfed to 1.0x (from 1.2x)
Buffs to help bridge the gap between Hive Worker Drones and other races, while still ensuring that they're slightly weaker. Heal Rate buffed to heal 1.4 HP per 22 minutes (slightly better than Hive Soldier Drones’ 1.3 HP per 22 minutes). Vision Range buffed to bring them in line with other races, while still being a bit worse. Strength XP multiplier buffed to match Dexterity XP multiplier buff that I made to the Shek. It didn't make sense to me that a laborer race would make poor cooks, so I removed the Cooking XP penalty. Neither Toughness nor Turrets made much sense for Hive Workers, so I removed their XP buffs.
