Project Kathun - Hives Expanded Compatibility & Changes

Description
I like Project Kathun, and I like Hives Expanded. The next logical step was to combine them.
Recommended load order:
UnknownRegionsAdventures.mod
Hiver_Expansion.mod
Kathun Hives Expanded Compatibility.mod

This allows the features from Hives Expanded to be added to the world of Project Kathun, and it also adds a number of other QoL additions from various addons I've uploaded in the past (though not all of them).

Is it balanced? Probably not. I tried to adjust the Hives Expanded items and NPCs to more closely match what is found in Kathun, but I think the weapons in particular will remain at least a little overtuned, which I suppose makes them valuable loot.

Here is a list of additional changes:
  • Added the ability to research and craft armor & weapons from both Hives.
  • Added a southern hiver dialogue package for player characters.
  • Added a Southern Exile gamestart and the ability to exist on neutral terms with the Southern Hive.
  • Added color schemes to both Exile gamestarts (red for Western, blue for Southern) as well as new recruits in the mod.
  • Enabled hive praetorians in character creation and let them wear shirts.
  • Added Southern Hive traders, robotics shops, and stocked armories.
  • Added randomly-spawning ronin recruits from both Hives, found in various biomes.
  • Added the ability to ask the Southern Queen's Royal Guards to send recruits to your base, which functions like the Civilian Recruitment Centre.
  • Fixed all relevant dialogue I could find which were missing southern hivers in their conditions.
  • Fixed hiver shirts not allowing new hiver subraces to wear them, and fixed non-hiver shirts allowing ones it should not.
  • Gave southern hivers better-formatted names and updated all hiver subrace descriptions.
  • Gave all hiver subraces their intended alien blood colors.

I wanted to do more with this addon, but eventually the time dragged on for too long, so I decided to wrap it up and upload it for people to use. If you have requests, I can still update it!
For ease of editing, I also added southern hivers to a lot of dialogue checks that are actually not used. If this causes a niche mod conflict somewhere, I'm very sorry and will gladly undo it!

I assume you're asking if that dye mod has a conflict with Kathun? I do not know, I haven't tried it.
If you do modding yourself, it would be much easier to make a small mod that gives your character a different color you want.

Could Simple dye mod work for my purposes? or would there be a conflict between yours and Kathun?

The armor in the thumbnail is the Black Carapace Set, a stronger version used by the Southern Hive’s war leaders. I placed a blueprint of it on their queen.

The regular Southern Hive armor will be dyed whenever it is equipped by a character who has a color scheme set, but this does require knowing who has what. Sadly I don’t know all the ones that exist. I opted to let the exile gamestarts have some colors (blue for south) because it is rare to get it working on player characters.

whats the armor in your thumbnail? is there any way to dye the southern hive armor I own different color from purple? since i am no longer of the hive i should have my own hive colors

Hum... I will try it, because i also like the hivers expanded and i do find that hivers get the short end of the stick in the mod.

Looking through the files, it seems like Reworked would work almost perfectly with this. The worst that might happen is a caravan drone gets a wrong texture on its weapon, from what I can tell.

@Rachel I haven't yet delved into everything the Reworked addon has to offer. Does it change the Hives or the infected much? If there are only small/no changes, this might work on its own.

Ohhh! Any chance of you making a version of this for the rework version?
