huh... guess I missed it in alpha genes too sorry

Or use Alpha Genes, because I didn't remove it

if you want that get VRE - Insectors & start a game then mutate a geneline with the proper gene & you unlock normal reproduction (should be egg laying) & Royal jelly production.

No

They got rid of the royal jelly production gene :(

thanks for the info on the inclusion dude

Thanks for including it in alpha genes :)

DEPRECATED: ALL THE CONTENT IN THIS MOD IS PART OF ALPHA GENES FROM 1.5 ONWARDS

Do you wanna say "Hell with it" while in the Rim and stop trying to be a space pirate, or savior of the Rim and instead become a genetic bug that can implant eggs in others, produce Royal Jelly to transform prisoners to bugs, and over all become a Hive and just do bug stuff all day? Then this is the MOD FOR YOU!

Question: does this do anything to the Bio-Engineering Trade ships, not that Biotech is a thing? I find it odd that they can only have Insectoid genetic material, never genepacks; unless that's a different mod entirely.

faction please :)

faction??

Thanks! Also that was quick! I literally read through the other comments to see if I'd missed anything and bam, response right there!

Yes

So just to be clear, this mod duplicates the insectoid body parts but as genes instead of just definition body parts?

Royal Jelly, the best way to give your colony an overabundance of Spiders, Would be fun if there was Royal Honey to go with it. I want a way to double down on sudden Insectification, maybe gift an enemy faction with an overabundance of Carapace.

Yes

does royal jelly produce by your pawns still have risk of converting consumers into spiders?

bro this is sick

Just wanted to say thanks for making this. I’ve been having a ton of fun using custom insectoid xenotypes made using this mod.

No

Report that on VE Insectoids, these are just copied

some of the descriptions are quite misleading. E.g. Venom gland. It most certainly does not "allowing to safely consume even the most dangerous foods".

@CTH2004 Pretty sure that exists already

REQUEST ~
*Please add detailed descriptions of what each individual gene does.
Ex. Effect - +10% Manipulation

They currently have some great descriptors. A few have an effect but claim to have more than one - Ex. Insectoid Antennae - Carrier is immune to any darkness effects. (but it says in desc. that is also imposes a debuff of some kind on social capacity?)

Im a nerd who likes to hyper plan stats with numbers and it would help a ton, Thanks!!!

Heh, "bug" reports for an insect mod

The arms and legs seem to have 90 hp, rather than 60

Btw if you want to expand onto this a little bit further or add integration with the mod you could ask Oskar for the textures of the Hulking Insectoid in-case some of us would like to make our own variants of them, but I think for now the insectoid genes will be enough

heres an idea; How about "royal jelly immunity". It makes them immune to the addiction and the negative effects of royal jelly (becoming an insectoid). the resistant version prevents conversion into an insectoid, but has no effect on addiction. The "dependency" one basicly means "gurenteed to become an insectoid"

You've ben on a streak lately sarg love ur mods :)

get stick bugged

Royal Jelly Production should cost more metabolic efficiency, as it's a bit strong where it is, especially if you also use it in tandem with Insect Jelly Production.

@Doom, "Alpha Genes"

what mod adds the teratogenic in the picture?

Oh, I was hoping you'd do this
Amazing!

Nice! First venom gene too as far as I know. double points

I was wondering if somebody was going to make this, thanks Sarg!

BUG.

@Sarg Bjornson How are you so aswome?

Nice

It feels weird that seeing mo announcements like this made christmas actually an exciting time lol, keep up with the fantastic work sarg b.

Hey @Sarg Bjornson, how much would you ask to make a Scorn-like H.R Giger biomechanical style, mechanics and genes?
Also another masterpiece right on xmas, thank you so merry much, you're one of the best modders in this whole community, been using your mods forever.

Yes, YES! (Happy bug noises)

are you planning on adding a royal gene? Kinda like how the queens work in the Hivers mod?

Thanks for the christmas gift, merry xmas

No no, separate mechanics

Are the genes added automatically to a pawn when the insectoid mutations are applied normally? It would be neat to be able to acquire the genes that way

<3 thanks for all your wonderful Alpha mods!
