this is really funny lol :)

missing this :c

i really miss playing with my roller snakes! here's hoping for an update...

oh man! i was super stoked to try this mod out and it's not compatible with Spaced out :( please update when you can!

update please

broken mod, please update

Do you want to update it?

will this be updated for the DLC?

s n e k

We're the tunnel snakes, that's us

Sadly, this mod is still broken. Sometimes snakes will just not show up for the shearing and grooming station, and to fix this you must relog. The problem is that this is very common.

Very cool mod I must say! I really appreciate the fact that your code is open source as well, I'm trying to get into modding and with a mod like this having such a variety of features, it's a perfect mod to pick apart!

The snakes are fantastic! Making metal a bit easier to obtain especially early in game! Pairing this with the butcher station mod makes food early game much easier, especially for me since I'm not too good at the game yet! Keep it up yo!

broken

Sheer function doesn't work as guy below said. This makes them just inefficient hatch's...

Anyone else having trouble with the roller snakes not being sheared? I am pretty sure I have the ranch set up properly but even though I have snakes at 100% scale growth the shearing station says not critters available.

hi i think the game not recognising tough roller snakes as my baby hatch farm along with stone hatches(stones get drop off) the dupes are not taking them to their own breeding pen.i have to manually ask them to wrangle the tough snakes

@ilikedingo

In less than 50 cycles, there is already a few hundreds rollersnakes.

Do you really want to visit your drowning room practically every 5 minutes to order your dupes to kill everything in it?

Because as far as I am aware, there is no automatic way of killing critters that don't require dupes operation beyond drowing, starving, cold and cooking (In both case could take longer than the cold/hot approach due to very slow Heat Transfer)

Also, pips seem unable to plant spiky succulents. QQ;;;

who cares if they can't drown, use attack tool

@xXanrezxXx I already told that, the creator replied that they don't drown because it would make a "too easy source of food", nevermind that rollersnakes are basically the exact same as hatches, but twice as fast in every way and hatch ranching is an easy source of food.

OF COURSE SOMETHING THAT IS TWICE AS BETTER AS A GOOD SOURCE OF FOOD WOULD BE BETTER.

the snakes dont drown, making it so that i have 650 snakes in one tile, pls change this cuz of the huuuuuge lag its giving

I have an idea for two more biomes i might as well just mention it here if anyone is interested.
1) Crystal biome: -superhot, soaks up all types of water that grows crystals, outputs acids that eats rock, crystal can be refined for fiber optic cables and prism that can bend light, a new type of power capacitor, tesla relay that can ozone air.
2)monster biome or flesh biome: a biome that eats all organic things and breathes oxygen. grows red cell flesh and tenticles. very dangerous to dupes but can be harvested to cook meat.

I found out that rollers snakes have the same ratios as an hatch.

8 per ranch.
1 unpowered incubator for 5 snake.
Lay an egg every 3 cycles.
Live for 50 cycles.

So, it lay eggs 2 time faster than hatches to compensate the fact that they live 2 time less longer than hatches. But it make them a better source of meat than hatches, now to compensate that, roller snakes can't drown and are born at 50C. But you can still break their eggs to get food or kill them manually. So they are still a good source of meat.

I'm playing with this mod for a while now and I have to say, I'm enjoying it alot. Getting Gold Amalgam and Steel by shearing the rattles of snakes is a cool concept and, if you don't overdo it, balanced enough. If you want to have a map filled over and over with oil wells, this is the map for you. If you have the water to spare, the spiky succulents got you covered.

However:

The Roller Snakes lay an egg every 3 cycles while a hatch does so in 7. Putting it in BBQ, a snake produces just a little bit more than a hatch over time. And for what the Roller Snakes already offer... that is a little too much. ^_^

Nevertheless, this is a very fun mod to play around with. Thank you for sharing it with us here on Steam. :)

Any possibility of a setting for rattle metal amount?

man i love your mod, swiming in steel has never been so easy

XD

Took a bit to realize these little rolly pollies don't drown. Now I have a huge pool full of snek and I'm afraid to thread on them.

Also to actual feedback - is it possible to have the desert biome include a few lead tiles within?

新动物：滚蛇。
普通物种吃沙子和矿物，出煤炭，只能在氧气环境，可以剪尾巴出精炼金。
吃黑曜石会出变异物种，二氧化碳环境生存，剪尾巴出钢。
新植物：一个出肉+花，一个类似六角根
新世界：小行星四分星是这个模块添加的新小行星，你可以在这里玩沙漠生物群落。这并不是一个具有挑战性的地图，相反，它主要是提供多样性和一个与典型游戏略有不同的游戏体验。

can you remake this mod?:Infinite Liquid/Gas Sources.

They are still an easy food source though.

I just need to issue a kill order to everything in the evolution chamber and I suddenly have +100 kg of meat.

Thanks to pholith and pope snowball for figuring out what was causing incompatibility. The not drowning is intentional. They are not designed to be easy food source. Either use eggs to make omlette for automatic disposal or wait for death by old age. Cataca I think the reproduction rate is working right, but that screencapture sure is silly!

It seem that the snakes also don't drown.

I only recently introduced them to my evolution chamber and there is already about 200 of them.

I think the issue is that the snakes are not starving, so they survive much longer than say, my drecko overflow.

Really love the mod, currently playing on the Emptera world from the workshop and the renewable source of metal is absolutely vital to my expansion. One question though, is the rate of reproduction working as intended? Not that i am complaining, but i started breeding the snakes some ~100 cycles back maybe, and i am left with this:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2027065812

The issue may be that both adding LightBugOrange to desert world types? I haven't had a chance to look at how the they are added: can a check be done when adding the critters (from the YAWL file is it?) so that if they've been added already either don't add them, or edit the pre-existing critter.

I'm having a gas with the Moon map on Solar System Worlds by the way!

hm yes that's totally possible, how can we make then compatible :thinking:

I could be mistaken but there appears to be a conflict with Solar System Worlds:

ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: LightBugOrange

SNEKS <3

Very cool mod! Thank you for sharing the source code also.

这玩意儿能不能汉化

新植物

尖刺多肉植物是一种新的仙人掌果植物，每次收获时都会产生可食用的果肉和花朵。尽管生长所需的水比刚毛开花所需的水多，但其耐热性使从蒸汽间歇泉或热水间歇泉进食比替代其他食物容易得多。研究电烧烤炉和燃气灶，以了解可以用尖刺多肉植物的食物制作的两种新餐。尖刺多肉植物的工具提示说，它只会产生仙人掌果肉。这是一个错误-它实际上会同时产生仙人掌果肉和仙人掌花，这大约是工具提示中显示的仙人掌果肉的大卡的2倍。
水族灯泡是一种新型的可食用植物，提供一次性的水。它类似于Muckroot和Hexalent的一次性食物。为了从Aqua灯泡中提取水，您的复制人t必须使用碎石机，因为其膜太厚而无法用传统方法将其破碎。

新小动物

生活在沙漠中的蛇是一种特殊的蛇，它会卷成一个圈然后四处走动。滚筒蛇是沙漠生物群落中引入的一种新的生物。它们有成人和婴儿两种版本。

Roller Snakes是Roller Snake的默认类型，并具有明显的红色。
坚韧的辊式蛇是辊式蛇的变体，当辊式蛇吃黑曜石时，辊式蛇更容易出现。它们具有鲜明的蓝色。

滚子蛇以沙子和原始矿物质为食。他们排泄煤炭的效率略低于孵化率。但是，滚子蛇具有丰富的金属拨浪鼓，可以在像Dreckos的剪切台上剪掉。他们每隔两个周期就会产生这种嘎嘎声，从而提供一致的金属来源。

默认的Roller Snakes有一个由金汞合金形成的拨浪鼓，只能在氧气中增加拨浪鼓。
硬辊蛇具有由钢制成的拨浪鼓，只能在二氧化碳中生长拨浪鼓。

really good mod just wish there were more mods with critters in them

great mod

no. unfortunately is limitation of the game's animation system. in theory it's fixable but it would require rewriting the animation controller for moving critters which is too hard

Can you fix the anim for the rollersnake rolling after jumping up or down tiles?

It would be possible to make them not drown. But I wanted to make them like pokeshells and be able to survive underwater. I didn't want them to be too similar to the existing critters. So a bit like hatches in diet, kinda like dreckos with shearing, and like pokeshells with the water breathing. Hope that helps.

Also it should be updated for the latest update where mods changed to .net v4

would it be possible to change the snakes to be drownable? they just keep on living in my hatch evolution chamber

This mod is an absolute must for worlds without gold amalgam. The snakes provide enough to prevent the overheating headache we deal with from geysers. Aqua bulbs have also been a life saver, with the cactus as a neat addition to the farming lineup.

There's a bit of everything to enhance each area of the game.

Although, I'd be all for a new snake that creates wolframite and would rather the arctic cold unlike its other brethren. Having to relocate their eggs before they die from the heat when they hatch is an idea too.
