We need 1.6.

1.6 plis

There really needs to be a way to fight the flood... or at least make their growth slower and more manageable early game. They just showed up next to my base -- no warning no nothing just 4 flood hives instantly placed next to my base which I could not stop. If it were just one and it was announced as an event I might have been able to jump on it only losing a couple of colonists.

is the flood supposed to be listed as a faction when creating a new game?

What if you could become one with the flood and embrace the flood

So what are Flood Spores good for? Is there anything you can do with them? I thought maybe I could devastate an enemy base if I used a transport pod with spores inside but nothing happened.

I also haven't gotten any Flood raids after several in-game years. Only ever a single roaming flood here and there. Is this a load order problem?

what i don't like is if something gets hit like a insect it will just die from the infection and also some flood just non stop go for my base and i don't know if it intended but pure forms just keep dying

im also having a issue with the sentinel beam like said before spawning the laser but never disappearing causing alot of lag

i really enjoy getting instantly swarmed the moment i make a new colony

@Loki you give them an electric guitar


But to answer your question, forerunner metal comes from sentinels after you kill them and I think dismantle them at the machining table. One of the production tables, anyway, has a bill to dismantle sentinel bodies.

How do you get Forerunner Metal?

Im having a single issue with the Sentinel beam weapons, and that is the Beams (The bullets) Don't disappear after being spawn and they don't do any damage causing much lag to my game and causing me to use Dev mode to remove them, would this just be a mod compatibility issue?

Do they still raid if they have no world presence? I like to add mods even if I don't intend to use those mods, so I can do different play styles in the same modpack.

does the mod need MoHAR framework

Unsure if this mod actually works, haven't seen any flood so far
On day 55

@Guarwo I've tested it myself and it works as intended without the AAF dependency it asks for, seems to be something left over in the database for the older versions of this mod

@OmegaEntertainment The Flood can Infect both Inorganic And Organic beings due to something called the Logic Plague. However i do see that that could be a little unbalanced in-game for the Bosses so they should probably be buffed so that's not a problem however other Mechanoids are free game.

Does it need the advanced animal framework that's like 1.3? that says its missing as a dependency.

Something to note, the Flood Infection "disease" is extremely OP...including towards Mechanoids, which should be immune to said infection on account of not being organic.

Basically as soon as any mechanoid (including Biotech bosses, I'm currently weaponizing repeated Diabolus deployments against the Flood...and each one is failing ) gets hit a sufficient number of times, it gives them Flood Infection (Minor).

...this "Minor" Flood Infection then immediately straight progresses to Extreme , and then kills the mechanoid mere seconds later.

This mod does not disable flood raids until day 45. I have 2 large flood hives on my map day 5 spawning tank forms

why does Rimpy say this mod needs the outdated Advanced Animal Framework?

After looking through the code, the flood carrier does use the divide deathaction from anomaly. It would be beneficial to add anomaly as a required item or specify it's needed for that functionality

Does this mod require anomaly? During testing, I've gotten the error a few times "Pawn dividing is an Anomaly-specific game system. If you want to use this code please check ModLister.AnomalyInstalled before calling it." It seems to happen sometimes when I kill flood carriers but not all the time. Also got some null reference errors. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix this? I got the error first testing with combat extended, but trying on a new save with all other mods disabled I got the same errors.

does combat extended cause this carriers to not blow up
(also maybe infection forms should have more armor pen)

That's why we have console commands and god mode lol

wish there was a story teller that did repeated waves of flood

FFS I WAIT LONG TIME THIS MOD

Vanilla Expanded Framework isn't detecting the factions for me so I sadly can't add it mid save. Big sads, tried moving it into diff spots in the mod list, sadly same results. not even getting an error to accompany it either.

Sentinel Spawner seems to miss a "CompSpawnerHives" in def xml file, cause following error.
Exception in RimWorld.ThinkNode_ConditionalBodySize TryIssueJobPackage: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Can the flood break open sarcophaguses to get to dead pawns?

no I don't want the colonizers to be infected, so can you add an option that prevents colonizers from being infected?

why did you have somebody spawn infected?

Can you add an option? About "Are Player Colonists Allowed to Be Infected?"

@OmegaEntertainment mod incompatibility they show for me

the turd burglar: Skill issue

So, something odd I've just noticed is that Flood Stalker forms (and presumably other Flood forms) don't have dead/corpse icons or models, despite having inventory icons for when they're alive .

I know this because I found two dead Stalker forms on my map after worrying over the random trail of Flood Slime on the desert ground, saw a pair of red x's attached to nothing, and upon clicking I realized that they were completely invisible .

Noticing the flood raids early game. Day 3 just got a flood raid. Just letting you know since it says until day 45 its disabled. Awesome mod dude

It's an incompatibility with another mod ran into that problem a while back a for me it was one of the big and small mods

I appear to be having an issue where my game is unable to render any flood pawns, and presumably sentinels too but i've yet to encounter one. Dont know what would be causing it since i have both required addons so im kinda at a loss here

Now we just need flood biomass flooring spread like anomoly.

Also could you make a seperate mod that infected pawns convert quickly into metal horrors like the flood do in this? Its such a good and scary feature.

is their anyway to turn the infection off. i keep getting swarmed on caravan trips and my dudes just aint got fast enough fire power. had a wave of squirrels become a wave of flood which was awesome and then i lost my melee dudes to combat forms lol

[1.3] Advanced Animal Frameworks 3.95 or Advanced Animal Framework
rimpy keeps requesting this
any idea what is that?
already got the dependecies listed here in steam

the flood don't attack all living things at first, as targeting things more dangerous than them would be suicide.

the flood hives themselves have insanity pulsers which cause animals to become hostile to them.

this is when the flood feel they are plentiful enough to attack indiscriminantly

Can you make them attack all living things? Even animals. Basically anything that is alive. The flood consumes all so that should include animals.

@Paperbagman need to be on 1.5
@Acidiclies you don't rimpy is bugging
@vensario not through normal means I don't think

Can I tame them?

It also says I need the Advanced Animal framework. This is the first time I've every installed the mod.

DZ its a mod conflict. ran a test everything works fine

What did a new update come out or something?

carriers dont explode
