Mod is no longer supported and cause too much problem in games dont use it.
Tt changes drasticly combat when pawn is down enemy have 1 tick cooldown attack (in 1s u have 60 ticks), and pawn randomly stop attacking and stand still.
Probably it causes more problems with wildlife when you do nothing with them they will just spam logs and lag your game, and i think it causes problem that pawn cant get to bed, (humans to beds and chickens to sleeping spots), i cant bond my cat bcs orders were not appearing (just lagged) and colonist was idle but i am not sure if its because of this mod.
In case u want to try this mod u should know

*ground rumbles* You hear that? *shaking intensifies* ... something's coming. A lot of somethings. OHHHHH NOOOOOO
1.5 update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3285516766

I'll be keeping the comments here under observation just in case any kind and talented soul takes up the torch and forks an update/remake.

Understood, and I hope for the best, and will still cherish the memories.

@enlonwhite I didn't have the chance to actually test, but after looking through the files at the absolute minimum, the assemblies in the mod would need to be recompiled for 1.5. I suspect however that there's gonna be more than just a quick recompile and adding the 1.5 tag to get this beast updated.

ah the days of colony events from letting a hive get too big, too evolved in size, thinking just another day, and a mech hive or a raider group will help take care of it. Good days, to then watch as I had let the horror of the hive grow to a size that starts knocking at my doors, as I scream oh shiz, run pawns run!

Seriously this mod made Insectoid an actual fun event and choice.
I am just getting back in, and based on comments I dont see this getting updated, I assume people have tried using it with the new expansion and 1.5 or at least I hope that is what the info is based on.
if anyone knows if this is working in 1.5 with Anomaly please advise me, If not I will assume this as a last choice as I got 378 mods to check and test.

i think we need to get 'john (Continued)' on this case if they get allowed too, great mod, sad to see its support stop

Any news about a 1.5 update for this mod?

1.5？

Author said he won't be updating this mod,
@Machine, you should add to the top of the description that you are no longer supporting this mod.

will 1.5 use the flesh beast pit code to add proper hives that we need to raid to stop an infestation?

please 1.5

@Latex Santa

It's Okay, if solution is on the list that will be good.

1.5

Hope this gets an 1.5 update. Some of my most memorable fights came due to this mod.

@XXFQ007
Ignore my previous dumb-a$$ comment. It has major issues.
But Mlie and the bois have been notified and Better Infestations is on their to-do list.

I recently encountered a problem, but I don't know how to tell you about it. It is caused by a BUG, ​​but it may require some extra time from your side. I would be very grateful.

In my newly-arranged MOD list for 1.5, I encountered a very major animal-related logic bug. When I use the "slaughter" command, I cannot kill the tamed animal immediately, but it only reduces 1 point health each time like a light cut.

After testing more than 15 times among 441 MODs, it was finally determined that the problem was caused by using the old version of better infestation 1.4.

I have been using your MOD for a long time, and I really appreciate the improvements in this area. However, due to the above reasons, I cannot activate it in version 1.5 for the time being.

Wish you all the best, my dear friend.

I got so use to playing this mod along with CE it makes for some fun base raid moments from hordes of bugs lel. I hope someone picks this up soon.

@Kaptain Z No

does it work at all in 1.5?

Actually the best rimworld mod.

Missing this mod as well );

I'll miss playing with this mod

Hopefully someone picks this up for 1.5. Pretty great insectoid mod.

1.5?

I put in a request on Mlie's discord to look and see if they could update this. It's such a great mod I'll miss it if no one can keep it up!

One of the most memorable Rimworld games I ever had was thanks to this mod. The infestation grew too large, there was a wave every morning and my colony was in Total War mode, using all of the available resources to resist (love balistas, moats and tamed elephants). Eventually I had to move the colony, it's the only game I ever did that.

Thank you for the fun!!!!

Is there a way to turn off the world infestation system?

No problem, life is busy, nobody is forced to support mods forever. Maybe Mile or someone else will swoop in and save it :). Wherever you go, I hope success follows :P.

I am giving you all a heads up. I will not be supporting/updating this mod any longer. If someone wishes to continue development of this let me know so we can switch hands. You must know how to code and build assemblies. Otherwise it is a dead mod for the time being.

Sad to see this lie abandoned. This was a very unique mod that gave alot of extra threat and versatility to insects without just making them another raid. They were like a passive siege. No mortar shots but if you ignored them they'd scale out of control and eventually become a run ending menace.

They also made alot of defenses and traps useful in a way ordinary raiders just don't..

Hoping this gets into 1.5 as well.

I kinda wish insects were hostile to no faction pawns as well, no idea if that even possible or not though.

hope this mod gets someone to look over and bring it back up to speed.

For me, this mod is currently abandoned. It's full of bugs and errors. This mod really needs to be taken over by a new modder.

Can u make the mod compatible with the Jelly Farm mod? Right now your hives don't spawn the necessary items...

I have a problem. Newborns not spawning. I do have it enabled. Please help.

just now i see how much like they are the hl2 antlions
(gtsasfhhh: bguas ugsgsgsd bauf shsihff buhshhii bahhutewrt sshhhllaaaa) a translation for my antlion fans💪

There is another insect mod that it works on (probably). It's Insectoids Evolved

That mod was made to be compatible with yours. I mean, as both mods haven't been updated in almost a year, they might not be compatible, but, at least that mod tries!

the infestation draw don't appear in biomes of alpha biomes, maybe it not work on modded biomes

I didn't find anything when I went to clean an infestation from the map, I got the message that it was only deleted

I went to clear out a world infestation amongs other things I found 62k silver and 95!!! resurrector mech serum. Any idea what can cause this kind of reward overkill?

Seemingly good idea, but it makes single pawn starts non-viable, even VFE Ancients start.

The insects not targetable is actually a game issue, and will happen on a no mod playthrough on occasions. I do admit, the insects hauling stuff to my stockpiles is highly amusing though.

Even with bugs, I love this mod on vanilla settings. it adds a nice increase in difficulty when you add in additional things like arachnophobia and horrors.
