That's a great idea tbh

I hope one of these modders makes the swarm ships compatible will all the new biogenesis stuff, classifying them as bio-ships.

Could I get achievements with that mod?

Appreciated

Oh hey I saw your mod. Thanks for linking to my mod over there!

You're free to open up my mod (should be folder 1229307015 in your Workshop files) to look at how the textures work or what have you, like if you added a separate ship model variant and wanted it to use its own texture.
I know you didn't ask but just if you wanted to, you can go ahead.

I have added a link to this from my Playable Swarm Ships (standalone) mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2532923000

Wish I had your texturing skills!

Not sure weapons can colour to your empire, but would be cool yeah.

I'd love to see something like this for unbidden weapons

No prob. I thought there'd be more swarm shipsets, maybe someone should make a new and actually good one.

unfortunately you only get the shipset with one particular origin with the hive dlc ;( sadness. thanks anyways

Yep!
'Unofficial Hive DLC' I think has some living ships - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1715190550
New Ship Classes had a mod for different shipsets but I didn't find it, either it's taken down, or just didn't come up in the search and isn't hosted by CaptainX3.

can you recommend any mod to get the actual shipset?

That's up to you. This mod just replaces base game textures, so any mod that uses them will do.

To use this mod , should i subscribe mod below?

Honestly I don't know if before or after other mods is better, but I most swarm shipsets include textures, i.e. for me it works with 'Unofficial Hive Mind DLC'.

I can take a look at the scourge shipset mod and see if it has its own textures, it could be that it just isn't using the vanilla textures, which mine replaces. That's the most likely reason.

No need to thank me, I try to read every comment I get. I'll look into what caused this incompatiblity.

Hello! Is there a correct load order to use your mod with a Scourge shipset on the mod manager? I used your mod alongside Scourge Ships mod and my flag's primary color is black (and its secondary color is dark gray) but it is not working (my ships remain with default Scourge colors).

I've positioned your mod below Scourge Ships. Thanks for your attention!

I'm pretty sure it's not my mod as it's just texture files, but when looking at the mod I gave it better compression and new textures so that's good.
If it *did* crash it's probably due to the old compression or the version number so I fixed both.

This currently crashes my game on 2.6.1 when loaded.

Finally updating! Not just version number but actual mod improvement. Smaller size yet better!

As a bonus, I've thrown in a high resolution replacer for the swarm fighter. This is notable because the popular recent mod "Forgotten Queens" uses it for corvettes.

Yeah, it's all updated. Thanks.

It's probably done by now. Sometimes when more than one thing is due an update, Steam schedules one for a few hours later.
I was asleep so I'm assuming your Steam downloaded all the stuff by now :p

For future reference the downloads link will be at the bottom of your Steam application with arrows to move downloads sooner on the right of that screen I think.
I use an overhaul so I don't know your layout. Anyway should be done by now. mini text wall

And how I do that???

Check your Steam downloads and manually move Stellaris to the top of the list if it's not done, that should update it.

Yeah, but your mod is not updated to the 2.1.1.

The mod is set to 2.1.* which does the same thing.

Thanks. But you made a slight mistake Stallaris is now in the version 2.1.1. not the 2.0.

Oh right! That's weird as NSC had a really good swarm ship in the original version. Maybe they left files out if that's the case.
I'm gonna have to take a look at it anyway. Also updated my mod number.

I already tried this mod and it sucks.We have space stations from the Reptilians and Mammalians instead of the stations normally used in each shipset.

Ha! And as soon as we've had this discussion NSC made their shipsets public again!
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1439513019

Hm, it's not as widespread as NSC but sure, I'll change version number right now if people want to use that mod.

And what about this mod? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1093167117

It doesn't add swarm ships, it just retextures, so technically it will always work - I'll update the mod number when there's a popular playable swarm mod though since NSC removed theirs.

Please, update this mod for the 2.1.

If NSC bring back swarm ships it should. I actually made this for NSC back when it had swarm ships in the base mod.
Thanks btw

wish this could work with NSC mod but it's still an excellent idea

Then yeah, that should work.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1093167117

Yep, when I can anyway. I don't know any good swarm mods right now but this *WILL* work on any you can find, until I can salvage the files and change the version number.

Just ignore the [!] icon unless the devs change something about the graphics.

Is this going to get updated?

It's not standalone anyway, it's like a retexture and patch. You'll need a playable swarm mod, or the NSC races pack when it's made public.

As long as those mods are updated this technically will work too.

Think that this might work with the 2.0 patch what with the whole doomsday weapon issue?
