Oh, I didn't know about this mod that is tailored for this. Thank you very much, I will do so now.

Install either Redux or Rift Revival. I don't think they will conflict with each other but there's little point in having both. Since you have Rift Revival you should uninstall this mod and install my one for Rift Revival, which you can find here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2683408258

I already have the "Lombax Revival: Rift Edition" mod, I'm just not sure if I need to install the "Lombax Race Redux 1.9" mod as well or not, hmm.
It seems to be the same mod, only one is published on Steam, and the other one has to be downloaded from the site.

I've edited the description for a little more clarity.
This mod shouldn't function without Lombax Race Redux, so maybe you still have it from a while back. I'd recommend using the other Lombax mod as it has more content and I've greatly improved the dungeons for it. I've made a FU patch for that mod as well.
As for the hostile Lombaxes, some are, some aren't, just depends on what you find.

I was surprised to find Lombaxes hostile to me, ahaha.
Well, okay, I'll have to kill them all. (I play as Lompax myself)

Lombax Race Redux - What kind of mod is this? I understand it's not in the Steam workshop for some unknown reason, but was this such an important mod? What does it give you?
I don't seem to have this mod, but I don't understand whether it's important or not.

Not for sure, but I think it is because there was another Lmbax mod that was recently made. You can check it out here if you'd like: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2521834643

any idea as to why the race mod got removed

There is a way to get in all the buildings. Look for pressure plates and use ropes, I wanted a but of a puzzle to get in for a but of uniqueness and to stimulate a sort of security system.

you have a hostility mod and hit one of them or your from an opposing faction.

mod puts a sniper tower that you need a mech to fly over it's a waste of the time the doors are locked it's an obvious troll. unsubbed...

Thank ya

Mind if I ask what that race you're playing as in the screenshot is?

There is one that isn't hostile, I just haven't made as many of those yet.

why are they all hostile?

I think it should be added into the base mod for sure. Never was against anyone fixing up the lombax mod because it sure didn't stop me from doing it when I redesigned all of Redux's art and added everything from the sun out of nowhere.

But to make it easier for you so you don't have to mess with a giant bloated lombax mod. Keep on adding to this! Eventually if we have time we may be able to implement it into the base. Nicely done :)

Thanks man, I appreciate you taking a look at it. Hope things go well for you so you can get back into modding if that's what you want.

This looks pretty good, dude.

I do apologize for my snippy attitude from before, though the dungeon design here is excellent and well done.

Do keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see unique mods that you'll put out in the future.
