@J_Gaming Finally someone noticed!

Actually, all of the sounds Phantoms have are actual lines sourced from ThoughtDefs at the time!
Here's a non-exhaustive list
https://github.com/Caaz/rimworld-typhon/issues/18#issuecomment-1062337372
Plus, there's a special one that's unique that's "I want a turtle"

"Can't we get a table around here?" -Phantom. No, I'm not kidding, they say the line.

@specter Hard agree, I did a bit of an anomaly run kind of recently and I think the capturing mechanic would be amazing for the vibe of this.

But as of late, I've been focused on my own gamedev adventures, two jobs, and a baby on the way. I probably won't be coming back to modding, which sucks because now I have the skills I lacked when doing this project. (Art! Hella art!)

I know the mods dead but it would be cool to see it implemented into anomaly

I feel that in my soul

I do apologize that work on this had to be pushed back, keeping other projects alive that are on life support while maintaining work on my own

I agree that'd be kickass

Hope we have this as a playable race

Someone kick to this to Mile

I also hope this is updated.

@ShunTheWitch please do continue this mod. I’ve been on one hell of a Prey kick lately, and I’d LOVE to see some of the Typhon work their Psi-magic in RimWorld.

@Caaz
Ah appreciated and yeah I fully expect to need to start the C# adventure from scratch, hope you current endevors in life go well

@ShunTheWitch absolutely go for it. I'll admit continuing this mod might be a bit complicated due to how I have things set up, but the code and such from the last working release is at this commit
https://github.com/Caaz/rimworld-typhon/tree/8df0abc44ff3f0c1b5766fe252457d95c23b6380
Good luck have fun, probably best to start from scratch, that's what I did.

There's also some unused assets from other contributors and related mods, I'd totally recommend reaching out to them for some things I never got around to implementing, some can be found in the github issues.

Hey I know you said you wouldn't mind but I would like to make sure its cool since one of my team members is very much wanting to work on a prey mod and told me about what you said and I just like to make sure things are cool

@PoisonCoder but your name is PoisonCoder how do you not code for shame.

Anyway yeah I agree the last update is thematically kinda perfect for this. At this point the project would have to start from scratch or whatever. I honestly wouldn't mind if people reused my assets to rebuild the mod from scratch and handle it, but it's not something I could fund, nor one that I'm really interested in reaching out myself. I don't even actually play Rimworld anymore these days.

The amount of modding I'd need to do to make this game enjoyable to me has left me with the decision that I'm better off just making my own game, so I'm doing that now.

@Caaz Hey I'm a huge Prey fan and loved this mod back in 1.4. I assume you've seen the Anomaly DLC and how perfectly this mod would integrate into it. I understand that other things are taking center-stage in your life right now, so I think you should reach out to a modder you know or something to see if they could take up this project. I know the Vanilla Expanded crew is working on a bunch of Anomaly content, so maybe theme (as if they don't have enough on their plate). You said this mod is open source but I have 0 coding experience except for like a Python class in 8th grade, so I can't do anything here. I would hate to see this mod completely die right before the perfect expansion for it arrived, but life ain't life, I guess.

Alright understood. Just disappointed cause while it never did a whole lot it was always fun after a raid to have a mimic turn into like 10 and then get mowed down by turrets.

@TylerDurden12 It is dead. Granted it's open source, anyone could work on it, I personally do not have the time to invest in it. My career has to come first and unfortunately this project took too much of my time to maintain or work on.

This mod dead or will it be updated to 1.5?

This is a really interesting concept for an enemy and perfect for an horror modlist. I hope you decide to comeback to work on it again at some point.

@Caaz Don't sweat it. I mostly commented to let others know the state of the mod so they know what to expect on the technical side and possibly save some troubleshooting woes.

Ah, @Bacon I apologize, I've had a rough time this year and honestly I don't have much time to work on modding these days. I've had to really focus on my career as of late.

Version 3 on github is mostly an in-progress rewrite, but it's safe to say that that is on hold for the forseeable future. It doesn't have much content, and it's not built the same as previous versions.

I could absolutely keep things up to date if someone wanted to take on the code work, but I myself cannot dedicate time to it.

Wanted to add onto my previous comment. Typhon does not seem to be spawning in events. Tried spawning them in a raid using dev mode to no effect. Mod is a very cool find, will be looking forward to the future update.

Version 2.3 had issues with other mods that had casting such as Dragon's Decent and Rimworld of Magic. Fortunately version 3.0 on github fixed the issue with Dragons Decent, transferred the save over (didn't have any Typhon on the map) and seems to work after a few hours.

@Giggles Probably due to the way the update on current mimics works, revised version fixes that but I haven't had a ton of time to mess with it

Love this mod, but this mod has crazy usage in Dubs Perf Anal

Quality mod, ill never trust random items or terrain ever again.

yes sir i'll get right on it ;o;

The rework changes like everything about typhon sooo slipping that in though shouldn't be too bad at all

No, I am FORCING you to update

@Concerned Citizen That's a real good point, I'll make a note of it but I've got things on hold.

Then AGAAAAAIN I just got laid off so I might as well spend my time doing something productive

Update to make mimics not die due to heatstroke, if they can survive the cold vacuum of space they can take some UV.

Hi, is it possible to make only mimic raids silent?

Amazing

I killed two Mimic, kinda. Despite reducing their health to 0%, it was still registered as a pawn, not a corpse. Killing and destroying them with Dev Mode did nothing. Here's my log. https://pastebin.com/wKaW8jAy

I have come
To say UwU
That is all

i think that one idea about sos2 having floating debris and stuff that have the typhon would be cool, one of the ones that i personally would like more than others, although better to wait for public release of sos2 for 1.4.

Big oof, get well soon

thank ye thank ye, sadly I've been on hold for many reasons recently, and I've got covid! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hopefully I can put more time in it this month though

i LOVE mod

Very excited to see how it goes!

Big news here to anyone not watching the discussion board

@I Exist I should have some time today or tomorrow to look into it; Looks like the jobgivers are getting an NRE. Might be a mod compatibility issue. I'll have it tracked here if you wanna keep an eye on development

https://github.com/Caaz/rimworld-typhon/issues/182

So a mysterious transport pod crashed into my colony, but nothing popped out and it started hammering out errors like nuts regarding toils. Hugslog:

If you get that working though it'd be such an amazing and unique storyteller

The plan for the storyteller is to rate your gameplay's empathy, so if you're cruel with your actions, so will the storyteller. It also ensures a typhon is on the map at all times.

The tricky part has been to get empathy working, was way more of a solid plan before I started trying to implement it.

Yea i remember the mod saying dev in my load order and was wondering about it, never saw any operators but i do agree the storyteller was really quiet with rare events

@Tcgirl8 planned, and even with a development branch working, but blocked currently while I make some development choices.

In order to make the storyteller really matter, I've got to set up more events.

That said, I did accidentally upload the development version for a hot second, so you might've witnessed it (and other features, like operators) before they're ready.

was there a storyteller or am i losing my mind?

Updated and fixed, sorry about the bug!

That fix the other day may have broken the entire mod! I've apparently nuked the entire assembly. One moment while I fix that
