hey nice work! ill add the defunct tag to this mod since the update essentially does most of it and im happy with the changes.

To keep you guys up to date: I added the meat patch, removed the plate armor requirement for now, and added the hand patch (however the color is the same color as their chins and horns aka. chitin) I also added you both to the mods credits. I hope this helps a bit if you want anything edited with your mod!

i think since your version is more lore friendly for keeping the queens ill link it in the description as an alternative to mine, since yours counts as a legit patch while mine is a butcher of stuff i prefer,
and well both be defunct depending on what vexed decides to take from either of us in the future :)

Figured out how to fix it so the Queens will spawn as faction leader. If you want to incorporate it until Vex can get an update out feel free and I can throw a [defunct] tag on it. I backwards engineer things and patching hurts my head...so it'd be appreciated, lol.

Thank you so much!

yeah be my guest use anything in here! love your mod <3

Would it be okay if I included a few of these fixes into the base Rim-Hivers mod with credit to you and CopperMonster? I've been a bit strained for time lately and haven't been able to fix these issues myself.

Great mod, love the changes, and goes to my mod list. Thank you :)

V1.1 all hiver meat has been changed to one type, the others exist within the game dev menu but butcherwise you will only see one type. "hiver meat"

fair enough, i like these changes and i dont care as much about kenshi lore over my own enjoyment but i know some will. thank you for at least trying it out.

Although some of these fixes are greatly appreciated a lot of them are against pretty far from the original mods intent, like TurtleShroom said with the faction leaders. Clothing restrictions is just a hiver staple from Kenshi. Unusual body shape make most clothes burdensome and it's kinda hard to wear shoes when you don't have feet. Standard Queens have work restrictions because they aren't supposed to do anything except stay alive and make eggs. I guess it's a good example why you should always check and make sure what you're installing is what you think it is.

Thanks for the work, even if I won't be using all of it.

@TurtleShroom Me and my partner here will take your advice into consideration, personally I think it'd be weird to change the flesh type due to the fact they are both technically cannibal AND insect meat, but that's just me. But I do think that getting rid of the redundant meat defs would be a good change. We'll get back to you on that. Hope everything is well on your side.

spawn sometimes i mean, after my change they still only spawned for me 1/4 times when raiding a hiver tribe. but that could just be me.

1+2: i didnt change anything about the meat, i guess i could have and changing it to insect meat is actually a good idea but ill have to see if any stuff breaks/a patch would even let me do it.
3: i dont exactly know how to "force" a queen to spawn, and after this change i did notice a queen will spawn if you raid a base but personally i like the idea of: "the queen has more important matters than diplomatic ties" and while the peaceful queen chose her best prince to deal with it the red queen choose the strongest soldier to deal with them.

Great work!

1. Did you also fix that weird oversight where every class of Hiver has its own Hiver Meat? That's nine types of Meat spamming the game.

2. Did you change the Flesh Type of Hivers to Insect?

3. Why not force a Hiver Queen to spawn and make her a Leader instead of breaking muh immersion (and the original author's intent) by making a lowly drone count as a Faction Leader?
