here is an update if anyone wants https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280895047

does not show on xenotype editor

Buggy: Yes
"Stupid": No
Strange: Yes

So, yes, I do use it!

though, I do think an inheritable (if you make a genotype), non-archite one could be neat! Make all your pawns inately have a stack, at birth (Have it "Take effect" at, say, 13)

@CTH2004 im not archotech stack creator, im only made a gene... also do anybody still plays with this particular mod of mine? Don'tcha think its buggy and stupid?

"gonna adjust the archite capsules price"

I think you should, instead of making archite capsules more expensive, make either the empty stack more expensive, make it use less capsules, or say that it's because "since it's a blueprint, the rescourses are more". The benifit is that you can get archite capsules easier iirc, and if not, there is a mod you can use to extract capsules "accidentally" from prisioners!

whenever I use the gene, game goes kaput

fair enough. Thanks!

im not tested anything yet, having a little hiatus from rimworld
from my previos tests i only get that you cannot perform sleeve operation on a child before 13, there is no option, and it's presumably intended behavior from the core AC mod

alright, but just what did your tests show? I mean, do you mean the fact you can't make sleeves of children? Or do you mean something else?

So, what is it's issue with children?

@CTH2004
1) its from my own tests with the mod
2) nice plan xd

@NaNoServers mb wrong mod order? i cannot do nothing with no logs tho

I do not know why or when but since I re-installed rimworld and all mods, you mod causes problems and makes my game unresponsive when I select the Archostack gene and apply it to any pawn.

thanks!

2 questions now:

1. what do you mean by "Altered Carbon dosent works with children"
2. " I gonna think about adding regular stack version of the gene, but you can craft one with some advanced components, need to play a game a bit and think about it, then i gonna decide for sure" I think you should, as then you could have biological kids born with stacks (assuming that can work):

I would use it to create a being that has a shortened lifespan, is severly weakened, but has all skills boosted by genes. The idea is an Archotech made them to be able to learn rapidly, but die realitivly quickly. Then, the Archotech could modify the stack, and transfer it into a sleeve, this time with archite genes and better lifespan, to have an incomprehensibly powerful, nearly imortal family!

@CTH2004, yo, i don't did much with this mod, only applied Heddif (Health condition) of already existet Archotech stack from Altered Carbon to a newly created gene. This is only the new way of having one without buying the thing with Vanilla Trading Expanded or doing the late game quest (im not sure how to get one otherwise). Altered Carbon dosent works with children, and my mod kinda buggy when you apply stack gene to a baby, try to avoid it.3) Im kinda incapable of taking any hard suggestions due the fact im incapable of C#. 1) Skipstack is ability gizmo given by archotech stack that helps you downed pawns steal body of the enemy or ally to keep fighting, it have a several days cooldown
2) I gonna think about adding regular stack version of the gene, but you can craft one with some advanced components, need to play a game a bit and think about it, then i gonna decide for sure

few questions and suggestions:
1. what is "Skipstack"
2. Could you add another version that forms a non-archyte stack (It still requires archite genes though) (Maybe 5 archite capsules?)
3. Instead of forming a body with a stack, what if the gene is triggered by a conscisness. That means it will only be activated if given to a pawn that has a soul, or after the stack is implanted. As for why you would want said gene in a pawn that already has one? If you have 2 pawns with this gene, their child will immediately get a stack!

Just a (recommended) idea, either way, thanks!

I will specify that this bug only occurs when the embryo child has this gene, if the gene is not present then the bug will not take place.

@Obi™ i need to test it myself, can you provide log?

I've noticed that this gene breaks growth vats and makes embryo children incapable of being born, I assume the same problem arises with natural birth but I haven't tested.

@Dark Pixel okay i not gonna alter it, i play with Vanilla Trading Expanded and this gene feels balanced in it. That ok for now

why alter the price? This is potentially infinite archostacks when combined with the reimplanter archogene (adn a a lot of patients)

I chuckled.

@Emperor Lowa thanks ^_^
i glad that you like it

The thumbnail you chose gives me the exact same feeling about the potency of this gene...
Good Job! ill have to incorporate this gloriousness into my already broken xenotypes.

@Blood you install xenotype that contains this gene - boom. Your pawn now have Archostack. I made it for flexability, imagine combine it with implant xenogerm ability? With parasitic stinger ability? You can have shitloads of cortical stacks or few - as only you want - all you need it have my gene

Confused how this gene works tbh.

@Komissar Rudinov I believe it is https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878539467

@Komissar Rudinov i have no idea xd, jist from one of "Genes" mod

Where'd you get that resurrector archotech gene?
