Gerzee are awesome.
Big, blue, four-eyed — like space gorillas, in the best way.
It’s great to see truly alien aliens in RimWorld. Thanks!

~Minor Update~

General:
Harmless errors handled for biotech terms (they weren't used without biotech, but now standard Rimworld won't show any error).


Biotech:
Babies now fit in standard cribs.

Update:

Patch added for Way Better Romance, to enable having children at what makes sense for the Gerzee lifespan, rather than what was hard-coded for humans.

Update: Compatibility add for the new Gerzee Expansion meals (Hay Meal and Raw Plant Meal).

Your welcome!

You filled the gap in low temp ! Thx a lot

Stat debuff removed for doctoring and research (backstories already handle that lore part well enough on its own.

Gerzee no longer can have "ate without a table" thought.

<3

woohoo. This mod really deserves more attention

Gerzee updated for biotech, specifically children. Age of lifestages changed to account for code requirements with biotech (e.g., full adult is now at 4 years old rather than 2.5).

I might look into genes specific to the Gerzee in the future too. I just need to learn how they work first.

<3 Thank you for the kind words!

thankyou for continuing to update this mod. I do love having Gerzees in my colony

Heads up that I'll be updating some things for 1.5 for biotech soon (focusing on updating the children code, especially since the old babies mod seems dead and not coming to 1.5). Github has the current copy of the mod now, should any issues arise.

Thanks

Ah, sharing a hugslib log will contain a list of your mods and in order (for future reference).

So, by itself I'm not seeing your issue. So it looks like a mod conflict. You have quite a few mods (I do the same lol), so best I can do is suggest some that you could turn them off for a moment and see if that's the conflict: Animal Logic, Grazing Lands, and Assign Animal Food. I'd also double check that some mod didn't somehow turn kibble off as their assumed allowed food, aka double check their allowed foods.

Try those things first. If that doesn't work, share a hugslib and I'll see if I recognize any errors.

It's in 1.5, with royalty and ideology. I never tried sharing mod lists, but i guess this is it https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3240871896

Huh. Can you share with me your modlist (including DLC) and if you're playing 1.5?

Hello. Can you make the geezers not dislike kibble, please? During winther they refused to eat it on their own and just waited till spring for outside grass to grow:(

1.5 I will send mod list when I am next on. :)

Huh. Can you share your modlist? Are you using ideology? And are you using 1.4 or 1.5?

I'm not seeing this issue in my test. So I need more info.

(In the meantime, if you want to keep playing before a fix, I'd recommend changing his food restrictions to not include kibble)

My gerzee dude is just eating kibble despite there being other suitable options for him, which is causing him to be unhappy

Great. Thanks for letting me know.

Issue has been fixed after downloading the mod again

You might need to remove and re-add this mod. Missing a texture isn't normal. You might have a corrupted file (happens sometimes with Steam).

I also tried running the game with every mod you have in this last list except Royalty (which I don't own but has worked for others in the past just fine), and I don't get any error (i.e., when fast cycling though pawns at the start up screen all the way to executing a 10,000 point Gerzee raid).

If re-adding the Gerzee mods and removing Royalty doesn't fix the issue, I'll have to ask some outside help.

Yes, it's for 1,5:

No error on startup this time as I disabled Anomaly. This error comes from the start up pawn generation. It was acting really weird, I was getting humans (but also some Gerzee's.)

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/c2e88c6475873979aa33e0f3fa86ba42

This sounds to me like a specific conflict with something you're using (as I play with 158 mods without anything breaking). From your list, the only one that I'm not actually semi-confident should work would be Anomaly since I don't own it (and I can't imagine Smart Speed or Rocketman being the issue).

Can you start a game without Anomaly and tell me if there's issues still? And this is for 1.5, right?

And when you say every once in a while the bodies dont generate, do you mean for Gerzee that newly come into the map, or when you load up a save?

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/bcf281044ffbceead47376c3b0432234

I was so stoked to play your mod, until I literally couldn't. I don't play with that much mods 5-10. Which are mainly performance and stuff that doesn't really touch the game that much. I got this error on startup, and also pawn's bodies aren't generating. I couldn't replicate the error again as it happens every once in a while. I'll try to get a log of that.

Gerzee Love Roomies update (1.4-1.5)

• Gerzee have a buff to living in a barracks, as they love sleeping around members of their colony. Anything other than an awful barracks is a good thing to them.

• Gerzee now receive a single small mood buff if colonists are moving around them while they sleep (it makes them feel safe). So, opposite of sleep disturbed.

• Min comfortable temperature lowered to -45.

@Kihtan: Thanks for the thanks! I saw the update kick in at like 2am and just hauled ass so no one would be held up from playing just from my mod, lol

Ollie: <3. As always, haha

Just wanted to say thanx for the update, of all alien races mods that i got, you updated the quickest.

Wooo! My favourite dudes are back

Updated to 1.5.

Small update:

Patch added for Way Better Romance. Gerzee will have relations as normal (e.g., hookups) at their adulthood, not Rimworld's default settings.

Wait, I saw your response in their mod page. Problem resolved?

@tanitanino I'll ask sandstorm. Gerzee are working off of animal eating habits. It looks like sand covering plants prevents something from eating it, but I have no idea how Sandstorm prevents that error from popping up for regulars animals.

There seems to be an incompatibility with the Sandstorm mod, where Gerzee normally eats grass but is stuck in a loop with an error:

Exception in CheckCurrentToilEndOrFail for pawn Chalergacar driver=JobDriver_Ingest (toilIndex=6) driver.job=(Ingest (Job_564661) A=Thing_Plant_Grass57290)
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Mind you I'm not on a Desert biome and I tried changing settings of the Sandstorm mod but it didn't change anything. I can post proper logs if you need them too.

Thanks!

Sounds like a mod interaction to me. I've only heard of an issue like this maybe once before and it was also in a very large mod list. Feel free to post the hugs log / error report in the bug reports thread and I'll take a stab at it.

Hm, bummer, the gerzee won't actually do anything. There's jobs to do and he just stands there. Won't feed himself or go to sleep either :( Probably a mod interaction... I'm using quite a few. Possibly way too many

I love these big blue guys. Haven't played Rimworld in a long time and was happy to see this mod still alive!

I just started a Sanguophage scenario, and the follower pawn was a gerzee and he and the phage immediately fell in love. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this REALLY weird couple

<3

Sorry for the long wait! It was a heck of a past few months haha. But I'm alive now and active.

Just found that you updated and its made my day <3

Update: Mood debuff removed for empty stomach. Some change in vanilla at some point made hay not get eaten until then, which made unnecessary mood debuffs happen.

Enjoy your even-more-chill blue friends.

Update:
Gerzee can now eat pemmican and no longer have "slept in heat" mood debuff. Wrathful faction updated for trading (e.g. if you can get them to stop trying to kill you they will visit, and sometimes try to sell guns they've pillaged from their enemies).

On pemmican:
Recently learned that real-life pemmican isn't made by cooking the ingredients. So lore-wise, Gerzee should be able to eat this. So, now they can.

Oooh, this mod is useful. Thanks for the share!

And you are correct, Gerzee don't get "Slept in the cold" mood. Along with a few others... I'll throw that in the description.

Yay, blue folk is back!
Btw, I also recommend this mod for to use with any cold-tolerant species for frost base:
No temperature penalty
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891005447

Gerzees are immune to the "slept in the cold" mood, right?

Minor update: Fixes to some item compatibility for Combat Extended.

Thanks for the kind words Starempire42 and ElTwoFour!

Takala Race Release

"What the hell are these things?"

Race Mod Summary: Adds a small, intelligent, and violent alien race. Great at long-range combat and tasks requiring intelligence, not so great with manual labor. Has a unique anatomy, including the head not being necessary to live and protective scales that may prevent fatal blows. The aim here to add another race that helps space feel like it’s filled with a wide range of species.

AH! Love these guys! So happy to see em updated! Also life happens and you gotta handle that before these game issues totally understand! Oh so excited to have these guys in my games again!
