@OdysseyLotus Baby, their bodies are white. Can you fix that

wow its a welsh language reference,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I also get the same as NaC_Paradox where all seren just show up as "baseliner" but with all the seren genes/purple skin/etc

very cool mod but had too many glitches like they became a human variant at one point, and just was a cosmetic thing idk how or what.

I really love the skin colors is there a way to get a mod just adding skin and hair?

Just letting you know that after some testing I found that the skins will not show when using nals unless experimental is also installed. However your facial skins will be force apply to other races as well including baseliner. Every few pawns will end up with purple skin and the siren eyes will apply to all. I am unsure how to fix this.

Hello! just a question would we be able to use the star designs cosmetically with character editor? <3

Ok, probably some mismatching with some other mod. As for the mismatch of backstories between races i some times get that too. I think it might also be multiple mods not aligning with eachother and the base game. Thank you for your time.

@Kihtan Unfortunately, I don't know what is causing your issue. I tested it in game and was able to right-click and force a pawn to use serenity

@Kihtan I'll check in on that

@Nebula Thanks for reminding me, I'll clean that up.

@Darian Stephens Only people from the seren faction or that use the seren pawnkind can spawn with their backstories, and both require the race, so I'm not sure what the issue would be. It could potentially be a seren alien with a baseliner xenotype, but I am not sure.

@Jet Part of that reason is because I had been taking a break from Rimworld modding for a while, so I haven't really been keeping up with all the changes. I've updated the mod to remove an old workaround regarding xenotypes, but there are some things I need to check again to make sure are in line with current HAR standards.

I just had a baseliner generate with Seren backstories.
Is this intended to be possible, or a bug, or a conflict with another mod which made this happen?

Excuse me for asking, are you no longer active? I found some WIP XML files that have been there for a long time, and a few errors related to LotusEyes_Seren in ...\Compatibility\Facial Animations\Patches\Facial Animations Patch.xml

Hi. I noticed that the drug serenity cant be used by pawns by rightclicking it. Its only possible to administer it through "operation" tab after the pawn lays down in a bed and an other pawn administers it. Anybody else had this. Here is hugslib if it helps.

Apparently the author of alien framework pointed to this mod in particular using old code? Can you help clarify whjat the issue is?

Also the author of settlement quests mentioned this mod was having some sort of issue with it, as he also tested it with this as the only MOHAR dependent race mode and got the same thing.

Wait if its a battle of the blues, how about my Gerzee in there too? Haha

who would win in a fight between seren, crystalloids and moyo. battle of the blues

OOooo. I rarely see original content races show up, and its the type I specifically like playing with. Sweet.

I'm kind of surprised this mod is still actively being worked on, I thought most Alien Races kind of died with Biotech. Which was unfortunate, they were some of my favorite mods. I'll have to reenable Seren and see how they're doing. Could be fun, I remember two of the most in depth Ideologions I ever made were for them.

@The Mother Hawke What do you mean by "you can choose"? Like, choose as one of your starting pawns? When you are starting out, the only seren pawns you should have access to are colonists or tribals depending on your start. Astropaths are rare seren that you can come across and capture to make your own, but otherwise shouldn't be a starting option.

Hi, I noticed that some of the different types of Seren you can choose don't have any control options such as drafting. Not sure if this is a bug or intentional. The one I noticed it on was Astropath

@Comrade Cyka I'm sorry you've been dealing with that bug for so long. I've been going through a lot, but I have uploaded a fix.

@UyTheo This version has Biotech features, but as of now, no, there isn't and I'm not interested in making one. Partially because Biotech is a headache to work with, HAR provides many more features, and it also just isn't really what I envisioned for the seren. They are aliens, not xenohumans after all. However, I am not opposed to others creating their own Biotech version of the mod, as Seanggag has expressed interest in it.

@Seanggag Sorry for the late response. I'm aware it's been a while since 1.3, but this mod does have compatibility and features for Biotech and 1.4. Genes, a xenotype, reproduction settings, etc. There are many features in this mod that can only be achieved with HAR, but if you would like to try your hand at making a strictly Biotech version, go right ahead.

Is there a biotech version?

Second one:

Seem to get 2 red errors with Way Better Romance, also posted on their mod page.

@OdysseyLotus, it's been a while since 1.3, and I have something to tell you. Do you mind if I create a mod that turns your Seren race into the Xenotype of Biotech?

@Jet They have naturally long lifespans. Females start becoming infertile at 175 and become completely infertile at 230. Males' fertility starts reducing at 175 as well, but will still be able to reproduce until 275.

what age do female seren become infertile? i notice a lot are hundreds of years old like elves

Hi, can I check if it's normal for Seren factions to be generated leaderless?

@I want die I'd also have to remove features like Serenity and the ability to remove their sensors, since Biotech doesn't recognize horns as a unique body part and only sees it as a cosmetic. Really, it would be a complete overhaul that would force me to work with a far less feature-rich and far more inflexible framework.

@I want die Yes, I've answered a similar question before, but I'll answer it again. The features I've added for the seren utilize many, many lovely features of HAR that Biotech doesn't have. I already consider the seren's gene list to be long with all the skin colors, sensors, and markings. If I were to go fully into Biotech, I'd have to add genes for every stat tweak (not the vanilla ones either, since those lower the stats level and not the pawn's performance), genes for psychic sensitivity, genes for their lower pain shock threshold and higher mental break threshold, a gene for their extended lifespan, a gene for their extended gestation, gene for move speed, genes for reaching adulthood later, a gene for a slightly higher chance for twins, and probably a lot more that I can't think of right now.

How do I change Seren's body markings?

@OdysseyLotus Love the mod and always been a big fan, is there any reason to keep the HAR compatibility? Im trying to move away from it and into gene races instead to help fight HAR's issues

Thanks for the mod! Does this mod adds new genes? If so, could you please add the description of this race's xenotype and the new genes in the description. Thanks)

Hi! I've noticed that whenever I play the mod, the Serens never seem to have their unique skin colours. They're always a baseliner skin colour. If I go into their genetics with a character editor mod to check, I can see that they have one of the Seren colours active, but there's another gene just labelled "Skin color" just above it that seems to override it. Got any ideas what's going on? I have a screenshot if you need it.

@Meng De I'm so glad you like it! I always play with your FE3H hairs and accessories, they are so pretty and well-made! I can't wait to see what you make in the future

Thank you for this mod, I've been using it for a while and I think Seren are so beautiful.
