Those look like the AI shipset and Mammal (vanilla) shipset to me

What's the ship you use for the pictures?

The population of the silicoids consumes nothing. It does not consume energy either. It looks like there is a bug and an update is needed.

Did you ever get around to merging this Mod with the Vanilla rendition Lithoids?

Frosum, I'm so glad to hear you plan to incorporate this mod into the Lithoids pack. I like both and would love to see them merged. Your second portrait (the crystalline guys with no face) are my favorite silicoid portrait out of all the ones in this mod and the official pack!

I disagree, Starfirejordan. This Mod should have been half of the DLC. These creatures should have been stolen and incorporated directly alongside the Vanilla rendition portraits.

i think this mod should have just been the dlc with the new ship set and city portrait

I'll be incorporating the new features of the Lithoids pack, but will likely do so as a separate mod, so as not to prevent those who don't buy it from using the mod.

I've found a bug in your Mod. Apparently, the Traits are busted, namely the actual "Silicoid" Trait that is added to every silicon-based lifeform.

L I T H I O D S A R E C O M I N G !

I hope you're as excited as I am! I have wanted silicon-based lifeforms for a long, LONG time!

So any plans to update this to use the features that are coming in the "Lithoid Species Pack"?

Thanks for the update!

By Jove!Doing god's work!

Congratulations, and thank you so much!

@temujin321
Mod is updated, though the experience won't be optimal until I work out the kinks.

@TurtleShroom I've just been busy with midterms, it'll be updated this weekend.

Do you have a due date for release, or at least an ETA date? Is there anything I can do to help?

@TurtleShroom I haven't tried that mod, so I can't say. I'll check it out though. This mod should work with planetary diversity once updated.

@temujin321 Yes, they just need to be updated. Still not totally satisfied with how they're available for non-silicoids though.

Will the civics have effects when updated?

This may be because of the home system I chose, though...

Also, BTW, for some reason this Mod doesn't work with Planetary Diversity. I tried starting on a Primal World and it blanked all of the starting world Districts. I tried it with a Crystal World and the empire deleted itself.

What differentiates this Mod from this one: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1657295386&searchtext=silicoid ?

Thx.

@ZacharyBuilder will be updated in the next few days.

miss this mod

@Frosum will there be an update to this mod?

Update?

The traits still have tile resource multipliers instead of job multipliers. That should be easily fixed, and the numerical values should still be the same.

Many of the traits don't display their effects. I believe they work just fine ingame, but they just don't say if they do.

whats the mod that fixes the issue with the old animated portraits and pop upkeep - can't seem to find it.

Question: There are severel traits in my game for this race which are not doing anything, aswell as the living world civic. Is something broken just fo me or that due to LeGuin? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Pls update this mod

Would love to see Silfaes Animated Hyena Race updated, I loved using them for my agressive playstyle.

Awesome! Thank you for this resurrection

theres a mod that fixes the issue.

I've heard there's a bug in 2.2 preventing pops with custom portaits from consuming resources. Is this mod effected?

Question: will they properly eat minerals for 2.2?

A few of ideas:
More species, planet and system names for the generator.
An intermediate lifespan trait (cost 1) of +100 years?
Add support for Planetary Diversity to "Igneous" and "Cold Core"?
Unique (physics?) techs for population growth?

@Frosum I was able to contact him on reddit and ask permission. We can do it.

@Engugu
I've tried contacting him for the last couple of months, but to no avail, I assume due to his job at Paradox keeping him busy. If he were to ever request it removed I'd do so, but as it stands I see no issue with uploading his outdated mods even without his explicit permission.
@(Turban)
I'm willing to bet that nothing beyond the portraits works at this point, so if you still want to have silicoid portraits available I'd recommend using the portraits only version of the mod I've uploaded. It will probably not be a quick process to fix the mod for 2.2

Anyone know if this is working since 2.2?

Last I knew? Nope, it's each species type must have an associated city and shipset.

Would be possible a variant of the mod without the ships and the cities?

@Frosum Have you contacted silfae for permission for your work? I ask because I updated the Xirmians for my own use and thought about posting the new version here for other people. But I am not sure about the proper, respectful way to do that. Dont want to step on silfaes toes.

@solair130 The Silicoids do have their own ship type, they're the ships that look like geometric prisms. They don't have a colossus ship yet, however.

Loving the mod! U'm just hoping you'd think about adding your own ships for the race, currently I'm using the ship from a mod I've got (Which I've forgotten the name of) but is goes well with the races.

What was Silfae's last poll about anyways? The rest will be updated by you,, yeah?

Is it possible to mod it so Silicoid races do not try to build any hydroponics farms or get any tech cards to research more advanced hydroponic farms, since it seems like they don't need food but use minerals instead? I've seen them try to build farms on tiles when they don't eat food.

It adds traits, so probably not.

I'd recommend for the next update, maybe stations? The custom ships really clash with the default station design.

nice :)
