Det's Xenotypes - Buzzers

Description


Welcome to another installment of Det's Xenotypes, this time introducing the repulsive yet surprisingly useful Buzzers.

Buzzers were engineered to solve the trash problem on urbworlds, they can eat toxic wastepacks whole, though they do suffer from some toxic buildup. They are disgusting, and release pheromones that only other buzzers enjoy, but they do have compound eyes that let them see farther, and are resistant to pollution and food poisoning.

As always, this is the GitHub link: GitHub link[github.com]
And join my Discord server[discord.gg] to stay in the loop!

















They also come with a new medical item, the Lung Purifier:





Q: "Is this mod CE compatible?"
A: "Not sure."

Q: "But DetVisor, there are no aliens in Rimworld!"
A: "Correct, and these aren't aliens, they're a hyper-adapted subset of humans much like the other vanilla xenotypes. They're meant to look more unique than things like Hussars and Impids, while still looking human."

Q: "Since they don't have a faction, where do they spawn?"
A: "They can occasionally spawn amongst outlanders and pirates. They're very common in waster pirate groups."

Q: "Why does it need the EBSG framework?"
A: "The entire structure of both the Wastefeaster and Pherotypical Attraction genes utilize code from the framework, the Lung Purifier also utilizes code from the framework. Without the framework, they just aren't buzzers."

Q: "What does the lung purifier do?"
A: "It removes 14% of the toxic buildup hediff."

Q: "Are they flymen? Insectmen?"
A: "Buzzers are spliced with multiple different arthropods."

Q: "Is this safe to add mid-save?"
A: "Yes, but don't remove it!"

Q: "I encountered an error!"
A: "Send me the logs so I can identify the issue."

Q: "Can I suggest additions or new features?"
A: "Although the mod is considered complete, feel free to write down in the comments."

I do have some faction ideas more or less uniting most of the races, like a criminal syndicate with bogleg, venators, buzzers and such.

Hey you know what would be super cool? All your modded xenotypes in one faction. Federated Detvisor Community or some shit

@(≡◉‿‿◉≡) Might add a faction in the next update.
@CaptainCasp They're wastefallos from Vanilla Animals Expanded

Guess I'll have to shelve 'stoneborn Vs dinosaurs' for a while and do 'Half-foot mechlord and slaven bug brood' first. Every single one of these you've made is deserving of at least a full playthrough tailored to them. Which by now means so many hours of thematic, better than vanilla fun. Please keep doing what you're doing, it's incredible work.

Unrelated, but where are those two headed cow things in the screenshots from again? I know I've seen those somewhere before
