Seems to me, you could use the incinerator to consume bodies and produce blood.

@Sploit

is this a future plan to give them their own faction and hive base as well? i think if you make like Blood Hive buildings it be reallly cool make a King and Queen they created the parasite to turn there enemies into what is now the Fog Hive

@Bubbles they're in the world as random recruits, but no faction AFAIK.

@Spoilt Just trying to figure out if it adds them in the world as a faction and recruits now or only as a game start.

Does this now add them as a faction and into the world?

Does this mod add in a new faction or just a start?

Love this mod hope to see Sanguis's glory at some point

Found a BUG. The people who raid your town will never drop body bags or blood.

@Spoilt Can you please add mechanics where Blood hive sleep and they don't consome food at a insane rate? So that I can put half my soldiers to sleep when not using them? Thanks!!

To the Author.
I love this mod, thank you. I do however see a serious problem. Several times I've had to run out for long periods with my units to kill starving bandits and loot blood. They run through food too fast, and i understand this is a mechanic you want. But can you please make it so that when sleeping they have a much lower rate of food consumption? So that i could put half my people to sleep when i don't need them?

I really like this mod, the blood hivers are avaluable recruits, they eat more than a shek, but their regeneration its nice, worth the extra food price

@Spoilt. I've created a patch between this mod and Limb and Decapitation Overhaul, which uses my dummy mod Princess of Cute Hive ALL EXPANDED to supply unique severed limbs to all affected Hivers, to allow the user to craft new Organic Replacement Limbs skinned to match the races that the severed limbs are supplied from. I needed to combine the metal part from Limb and Decapitation Overhaul's hiver texture with each affected Hiver mods to achieve this, but to function as expected it needs characters from each hiver mod to supply the severed limbs for crafting.

If you do not want your textures included, please let me know (either here or on this linked mod) and I will remove it from the distribution.

@Spoilt. I'm going to be putting together a Mogwai Hive Overhaul patch for most, if not all, the modded Hive strains. Is it alright with you if I include your body texture (the one that Worker, Prince, and Soldier use) in it to work with the race I'll create to match Mogwai's Hive Queen [Alternate]?

Added support for a lot of animations:

You'll need to fix a exploited bug with the blood and body bags being in there inventory with 4 reasons you will need a new way to get blood and body bags.
1.It cheap shots op enemies and you can easily kill the nobles and inquisitors with ease. And i lost so many potential recruits.
2.You can easily stockpile on body bags and blood. Which which is kinda useless to me cause i don't have any blood hivers yet.
3.When you get recruits the body bags and blood clutter there inventory and i have to get rid of it.
4.Either my guys or the prisoners are doing it. But they loot each other and they kill the prisoners when i leave them in and i have a diverse palette of prisoners Hungry Bandits,Dust Bandits,Holy Nation,Dark Reavers,And Drifters.
Now i do have ideas to fix these issues with new buildings a blood harvesting machine and a body bag maker. keep up with the good work and that is all.

I really appreciate everyone that's been enjoying the blood hive mod. I actually haven't worked in this project in a long time now though. Unfortunately I don't think sanguis will ever see the light of day.

No - only the player selection choice to take them and some recruits. Not a separate faction sadly (Though I made a Queen and Praetorian patches for this specific mod so I'm pretty happy ^^)

Is this an aditional hive mod as well? like do they have their own town queen pretorians etc. or is this specifically for a new game?

Is there an ETA on the Sanguis town?
I'm running around looking for these unique little buddies, and they're about as rare as a gold plate MewTwo trading card! I'm actually trying to build an "Ant Colony" in Kenshi, and this mod is perfect for that setup. I just can't manage to find any of these dudes. I've got ONE so far. Would be nice to discover a dedicated town full of them so I could just kidnap and recruit them.

"HOW ARE YOU SO POWERFUL"
the blood of my enemies- blood hiver

ReD ля так ты руский это так облегчает что не надо писать на англиском

ReD2222 Tnx man appreciate that

Alright. I'll do that for ya then :D

ReD2222 to be fiar i don't understand modding so idk how to do it

It's possible and easily done actually. (Since Praetors are just soldiers witn modified editor body values and one can add shirts so Blood hives can wear them)

is it possible to add blood hive protorian? and the hive later shirt won't work (can't put in on)

Can I ask for the "lightweight" version of the mod (Just the race itself without any additional parts like the blood death items on NPCs and blood extraction stations, please?
Or that'd be too much? Cause I like the design of red-themes fogmen a lot, but due to the large amount of mods I have already I'm afraid everything will be broken for me...

anyone know how to find worker drones, i can only find princes. ive been looking forever and i made the mistake of not starting out with one. worker drone only playthrough fyi

The chain mail of the swarm is not worn on the prince, but the clothes of the people are put on

Damn, hope the Creator comes back soon. Once that Death Item thing gets sorted the mod is perfect for me. But Life stuff comes first.

Been having a blast with this mod, thank you!
The Crimson hive rises!

Love the mod dude, I had a similar idea with the corpse peeler just giving you a body bag, and tried it in my own game. It works, however you have to manually load it up the whole time, and the game starts to lag if you don't dispose of the torso (having auto corpse dispose on also interrupts the peeler so you don't get the full item). So i thought of making a "animal pen" type building, where you feed the prisoner and it gives you blood. Ended up making a Growth vat where you grow a human and then harvest it, basically just turn a lot of bread and water into a body bag. This was just a late game thing to automate food and not have to loot so many bodies.

I love the mod

Any chance of a cute hive patch or something?
Not demanding, just asking, i know you put a lot of effort in this mod already.
In any case, nice mod, bro.

I've noticed that you can hire the blood hivers for free. if you don't have the money and still say deal (3000 cats) they still join you.

@evilnecroid I'm not sure, it will likely overwrite one or the other (they will either have blood or meant probably not both)
Ill be moving soon and my situation will be better for mental health and focus. Sorry I abandoned my project for awhile. The plan is to remove extra inventory items and use peelers instead.

i have a mod that puts human meat on people so u can be a cannibal. will this conflict because this mod adds blood to there inventories

Expect an update within the next few days

@goro The death items will be removed in the next update. I've been busy with finals and playoffs for my esports team but now that things have calmed down I'll be putting some time into the mod again. Ill have to look into the hiver shirt thing, I remember taking a look before and getting a little lost.

any chance that you might make a variant of this mod like "hive races and stuff" mod that is just the implementation of the race into the game without the extra stuff? I'd like to run into these guys when im not playing as them exactly.

I discovered another issue, in prisons where items are confiscated Guards tend to take away the Pure Blood and Body Bag from people which kills them in their cell.

Love the mod, one thing I could note about it as a problem would be chest armor. I don't use any mods that let hivers wear non-hiver shirts but Blood Hivers can't wear hiver shirts and have to wear human ones that causes a weird texture on their bodies. Also I read the desc about Body bags and as an idea maybe you could somehow implement that in a way that involves the Skin Peeler or a unique version of it? Normal peelers do skin people and give you leather eventually, maybe a unique one could give you Blood or the paste.

Hi, I've been really enjoying your mod since I started using it. Thanks for making and sharing it!

Hi again, here to ask if the genesis patch and the peeler updates have an eta? I love the concept of this but agree in that I'm not a fan of the death items, and its hard for me to play without genesis nowadays lol.

@savior Genesis uses its own version of MCA which would be included in my Genesis patch when its finished.

So i am playing with Genesis and some other mods. The blood hivers dont attack, i have the MCA patch for them but they still arnt doing the animations. I have tried both mods before and after Genesis. Any suggestions on why they arent doing the animations?

@DMG Damang3, What do you mean a single blood hive?, Like a solo prince? or a prince with supporting warriors and drones? I can definitely add some different start options.

Can you please make a mod where you start as a single blood hive? Thank you.

I'd also like to throw out there that I'm behind on my latest update due to IRL issues... man those suck sometimes.
