How do i build a Transformation form for somebody to use?
I want the leader of my cult to be able to turn in to a Demon, but not the one included in the mod, i want to design my own one.

@桐川保尔
The water thing isn't intended, but fuel metabolism does mean that they can only consume things tagged as fuel. From my mods that would be the "android fuel" from Simply Robots.

I'll look into the water issue.

@t34beb
It is cheaper than the Jotun Frame in terms of metabolism though. I guess it could use a small buff though.

Re: "And people breaking their game experience [...]"
If people intentionally break things sure, but I prefer to handle issues where someone might break it unintentionally.

@Victor
Noted. It should be harmless, but I'll hava a look. :)

I did some testing of the operator required/assisted genes to make sure they're consistent with the pilotable genes. Looks like the operator required gene is still missing the 10% hunger rate effect for when they're incapacitated from not having a pilot.

There's a warning on startup, if Royalty isn't loaded:
Could not resolve cross-reference: No Verse.SoundDef named Psycast_Skip_Exit found to give to BigAndSmall.CompProperties_AbilityFleckOnSelf BigAndSmall.CompProperties_AbilityFleckOnSelf (using undefined sound instead)

Pawns with fuel metabolism gene pukes every time when they ingest/inject any drugs and even water from Dubs Bad Hygiene. Is it an intended feature?

@RedMattis
And people breaking their game experience with abuse of mods is your problem because? I already touched all the numbers. expecialy those at endless growth are really not impressive in reallity pawn having this gene in best case scenario is similar in size to a jotum. great work by the way with the mod

@t34beb
It is hard-capped to 600%.

Mostly because apparently there are mods that let you "reverse" hediffs, which would be instantly game-breaking otherwise by giving thousands of stats.

@RedMattis
Both are 1.5.

the Cap can worked around but my concern was that changing max severity of soul stockpile in settings lets u set it with cheats on above 600% but any time pawn gains any new soul power it gets dropped to 600% and that doesnt seem to look intensional unless its hard capped somewhere else and it is indeed intensional

@Homer
1.5 or 1.6?

If 1.6 I'd suggest to verify files using steam. I think error is from something trying to use a class from the 1.6 version

this is the log i get when drafting a pawn with a ranged weapon, doesnt seem to happen with pawns that have melee weapons

It's 1.5. I specifically checked with the secondskin pilotable gene, if that matters.

Thanks. I think it's [DDTraits] , but I'm too stupid at the moment to put into the words for them explaining how they can fix/update

@moo
My patch checks if <nullifyingTraits> exists before adding a new entry for it, I'm guessing whatever mod adds IronBack doesn't which results in an extra copy.

@Dr. Pete
In 1.6 the large meals are disabled by default. There isn't really much of a reason for them anymore since I've modified the vanilla meals so that pawns can grab a whole stack if needed to fill the hunger bar.

If they are only grabbing one meal anyway it might be either a bug, or it is a meal from a mod which does not inherit from the vanilla ones and need patches to work correctly.

Nutrient paste meals are max 1 though. Maybe I'll figure out some solution for that in the future.

Hello! Running my first colony with the large traits and my pawns are now AWESOME

Running into a problem though, seems like I don't the Large Meals as something I can craft in the game? Also they aren't eating more meals to compensate, just one meal and they wait till they get super hungry to eat the next one. Don't know if it's a bug with this 1.6 update, but that's the branch i'm playing on

@t34beb
I'll make a note to look into the snake tail on children. Might be setup wrong somewhere. 1.5 or 1.6?

@Tathar
Which stack multiplicative with the health from mine, causing outrageously inflated health-pools. :'D

@Ammy
HAR isn't required for any of the B&S Races. B&S is its own race system nowadays. :)

And it should swap them to a body with 4 arms. It isn't visible (arms don't render in rimworld), but if you check their race it should read "4 armed <something>", and it should let you install bionics on the 2 extra arms, etc.

@月吟裔德格
It can indeed. I even tested it during the closed beta.

Problem is. ...it is good. A bit _too_ good. I got raided by Heaven and they zoomed across the map so incredibly fast I could barely regroup my forces at all. Almost like a drop-pod raid.

I'm still not sure how to tackle it tbh.

@Light08
Maybe with mods (or just dev-mode remoe the hediff).

The condition is basically saying that they have been soul-murdered. They are arguably deader than the undead regardless of how alive (or not) their body might be.

@ParasiticSquid
Big & Small Simple Size Genes is just the size stuff.

@Tathar
Pilotable not going away sounds like a bug. Does this happen on 1.5 or 1.6? Right now I'm focused on the latter.

That said, Pilotable is certainly abusable if you've got the genes for it. Though, at the same time getting all the genes feels a bit like assembling the Exodia, so being a bit powerful is perhaps not a huge issue?

I'm not sure, tbh. I isn't something I've playtested much. The whole Pilotable thing was more of a crazy idea I had one weekend. That people loved it caught me by surprise.

@t34beb
It was capped at 600% because there is apparently mods that invert hediff progression, and not adding a cap made for instant-god-pawns

I could be persuaded to raise the cap, I guess. But 600% seems like a really high value already?

@Homer
Please provide a log. I don't see this issue in my own test list.

@gh0stashes
You mean the goron paralysis? I don't have a Banshee wail

The wide-cone paralysis stuns for ~5 seconds in a very wide radius, which, I think is quite potent against a big raid.

The single-target one is like 10 seconds, which is quite long, I think.


Just to be clear, the above is what you're feedbacking on, or does this relate to another mod's ability?

snake tail (hair coloured) just doesn't render on children.

there seems to be a bug with the 1.6 version where pawns will go invisible when shooting/hitting. and sometimes go invisible just by being drafted, please fix.

A lot of the abilities seem to have an arbitrarily long cooldown or wind-up period that makes them useless in any actual combat situation. Banshee Scream stuns enemies for maybe .5 seconds, but they're UN-STUNNED before you can even move again after casting it. What is the point? I feel like I just used "I cast EVERYONE TAKE A BREATHER!"

Speaking of, the pilotable hediff never goes away if the gene is lost. I'm trying to find a way to make use of this behavior, but I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.

Also, is it possible to make pilotables' trait inheritance ignore gene-forced traits? Right now, you could exploit trait genes by giving positive ones to the pilot and negative ones to the pilotable, since it gives the traits without the metabolism or vice versa.

why is soul power stockpile capped at 600% no matter what you do? You can get it over by cheating and setting it max severity higher but when you get any new soul power beyond 600% you get back at 600%. Sorry if was explained earlier.

Is there a way to cure the "Soulless Husk" hediff in any way?

@ParasiticSquid Character Editor adds body size genes, for some reason

Is there a version with just the size genes? I could of sworn there was but can't find it so no clue if im crazy and imagined it or not

If you create a race with the Four Arms trait, which says its from this mod, it says "Switches the characters race for another if available" what does that mean? I assumed it was like the spiders with having HAR installed gives you a body with four arms, but that isn't the case.

It seems that the flight behavior of animals can be divided into two types in 1.6. One is similar to the effect of an airdrop capsule taking off from the map, and the other is an animated "walking" way that ignores the terrain slow down effects( it is still impossible to pass through the walls, mountains and deep water areas),

I think BS_HumanoidwithWings can truly achieve flight in the future. Maybe the attacks of Heaven and Hell will be air strikes.

The Mystic Warrior gene says "Must not have ANY of the listed:" for Robust and Strong Melee, but it only enforces this for Strong Melee, it allows Robust without the red Genes Conflict warning at the bottom. I think something has changed, I am pretty sure Mystic Warrior used to enforce its condition for Robust also. I don't know what might have changed, I don't think I have any gene related mods that should overlap this situation.

If you do feature requests, hooking a few of your gene abilities onto the Autocasting framework used by a few other mods, especially VPE, would be great. I'd love to be able to autocast Soul Siphon, as it gets intensely micro to use it to clean up raids one downed pawn at a time.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for the help, I'll go in and remove it.

Thank you

@Reclaimer
Yeah, it is safe to add to an active run. :)

Great mod, just want to ask if I can add the mod mid save game

Thx in advance

@vanilla kitten cuddles
You're using Samuels Flavour Pack.

Keyz added that to the flavour pack to confuse Sam.

@Mask of Humble
A bit random, but generally at least a few days.

@Firelemms22
Night owl makes them upset about being out at day.

@sam1373
Unless there is some unexpected mod interaction It should. The time between 'heals' varies though. Usually a day or two.

@Rat Catcher
Does this happen without other mods involved?

@Ryanisunique107
Yes, the "True Form" genes are a bit like that. The Goliath one especially.

Someone could easily make a Titan Shifter if they made some new art.

@BubblesTehGoldfish
Iirc. that one is just using vanilla mechanics for slave supression rate iirc.

I'll make a note to looking at the potential Dub's Hygiene issue.

I've noticed making a 'soulless husk' doesn't negate slave suppression rate. I've also noticed that it seems to have issues with Dubs Bad hygiene where they try to use a shower/bathtub over and over again but don't get clean. They can use the water tub though.

can we use this to make titan shifter from aot

but it adds normally in-game

Mystic Warrior's Headiffs seem to target the arms instead of the whole body and Overpowering Glamour and In-Betweener have trouble showing up even when their PS level is met

does archite regeneration not restore hands if the arm isn't missing?

anychance you could add a giant nutrient paste dispenser

Dark vision gene, the UV sensitivity genes, Blindsight meme's blindness, Darklight preferred precept, Undergrounder trait, and Night owl trait all do different things in vanilla, even though they all have modifiers related to light/darkness. Unlike Night owl, Dark vision also negates the global work speed and move speed penalties from darkness. Night owl is the only one that's mainly time-based instead of light-based.

this is just a suggestion but night owl seems a tad op. Darkvision is -1 but night owl does what darkvision is meant to do anyway? Just thought it was weird

Question, how long does it take for a pawn with immortal return take to actually come back?

I added Incorporate to a pawn's genes and every time it gains another gene it grows. I've checked the current genes and he doesn't have anything that would influence the size and it happens in real time as soon as I use the ability.

"Soulless husk" hediff doesn't actually cause slave suppression rate to never fall, or offset it to +200%.

oh, sorry. I thought all this time that you never added the time setting for the soul-related genes. But it turns out they do exist, I just mixed up the mod names. Sorry again for misleading you, thank you very much. (but if you had said right away that you added it, I wouldn't have gotten so confused>-<)

@Thranos
Probably some other modder patched those weapons into the pawnkinds. Or something broke. But usually it is because of patch-mods.

@Amko [He/Him]
Metamorph morphs the race under certain circumstances. Retromorph is the same thing, but only triggers on genes with a description like "morphs down". It is basically for creating 'young' stages of xenotypes.

@radm.botalov07
It is in: "1.5\Main\Source\BetterPrerequisites\Genes\Unliving\ReturningSoul.cs" Line 216.
