Suggestion for Odyssey Archeankin. Give them vacuum resistance and their ability is to convert a small area around them into rich soil.

Did their need bar drop low enough already?

How do you get a poluxkin to actually consume a wastepack, i've had it happen once and now they just completely ignore the wastepacks existence...and it doesn't seem to be possible to manually direct them to do it?

No, it's intentional

I believe its an unintentional consequence of the way the birthing process is programmed, all extended race mods with unique reproduction have this issue.

On another note...Harbinger Phytokin?

Yeah

@Feels, I'm pretty sure it's an intended mechanic that their genes don't get mixed.

also its impossible to create hybrids, even tho the genes are mixed on conception, after birts they always default to the base race.

Considering how long they grow, and how large they look, saplings should give out a child, not an infant imo.

With the advent of spaceflight in 'Odyssey', may I suggest that the saplingchild be made plantable in a planter box? Soil is hard to come by on a spaceship.

One could argue that phytokins are simply a planetary race deeply connected to their planet.
However, it seems unfair (albeit intentional) that they are forced to remain childless when an alternative could be implemented.
Perhaps growth times could be increased due to limited root space.

As other people have asked, any chance of getting a new phytokin based on the archean trees?

Can we get an archean phytokin that has 100% vacuum resistance :D

Is it Biological or Chronological age that matters with progressive attunement?

Ability seems to be completely broken right now, will have to recode it from scratch

Seems to be a bug with how the dryads' work priorities are set, submitted a bug report

Yes

Looks like these pawns don't photosynthesise when in a caravan. Is that intended?

One of my guaranlenkin (spelling?) had one of their dryads die (the other survived) and, when I attempted to summon a new one, it told me I could only have a maximum of two at a time. When I killed the remaining one and did it again, I got the same message. I *feel* like the cooldown probably was not up yet, but a few problems here:

1) If the cooldown was not up, there is nothing on the tooltip to indicate when it will be up.
2) If that is not the problem, I should be able to summon back up to two if I still have one remaining without murdering a perfectly good pet.
3) If the cooldown as not up, then the error message when I attempt to summon a new dryad should be corrected so that it tells me that I still have to wait, rather than that I am over my limit.

Anyway, guaranlenkin are super cool! Thanks for the mod.

If I summon two more dryads will the previous ones be killed? I have 2 right now and am wondering if I can keep spawning more when the cooldown is over.

There seems to be a bug in the mod where Gauranlenkins can't resummon their dryads even though I slaughtered them because of lack of food. How should I send the save file?

@Sarg Thanks for the answer and for the mod anyway!

@Delmain Thanks so much for telling me! It's the [Anima Theme for VRE: Phytokin] for versions 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 so it's perfect for everyone! Again, thanks for taking some time to tell me!.

@Sarg, there's a Q&A on this page that says "it's a low priority feature that may come in the future". I think that's why he asked.

@Vanyor, there's a mod that does that already. If you search for phytokin anima theme I'm sure you'll find it.

I don't think there ever were plans to do that with this mod. In any case, we don't code or design anything for legacy versions of the game. Anything new will be for 1.6

Hello, as always, thanks for the mod.
Are there any plans to do the retexture of the Gauranlenkins to work with [VIE Anima Theme] or it still a low priority thing? Would love to see it in 1.5 since I don't have plans to abandoning it anytime soon.
Thanks!

archeakin incoming?

"Why? You just got a weirdo" is so funny to me for some reason

Intended

Is it intentional for the phytokin child to share no genes with the father? I feel like there should be an option for that or something.

Hey, can you please add the options to disable or to tweak the chances of the phytokin quest appearing ? it being guaranteed each run early game is kinda stinky.

Not an issue, intended

Is it a known issue that the very clear father is referred to as stepfather?

Ohhhh, maybe

@PaladinRanty you have the vanilla expanded anima theme mod on, it renames gauranlen trees to be anima themed, it's not related to this mod at all

@RathfulConcepts, The undergrounder trait doesn't require a colonist to be indoors all the time. Also, what's wrong with it in general? Being born with some predispositions doesn't mean you're obliged to like them. Like, I a person can be born lactose-intolerant but still love diary products.

Why? You just got a weirdo

Standard Rimworld being Rimworld, and also using this mod for the first time. Got a Polluxkin from an event who spawned with the Undergrounder trait, making their photosynthetic gene useless. Is it possible to suppress that trait if a pawn has photosynthetic?

Is there a way to have the Regular Gauranlen Tree? I tried to spawn a seed in, but it just spawned an Anima Nexus tree?

Nope, intended

It looks like you can't use IVF with Animakin, is there anyway to get around this? I have a gay Animakin pawn.

Got an answer to my own question, they do it automatically when they get low-ish

Does the Poluxkin consume wastepacks automatically when it gets low? because it's at 60 and I cant get it to eat any wastepacks.

@LeanWolf if you download tweaks galore mod, it lets you modify the chance for incident occurrence. This includes the Fleeing Phytokin incident, which by default is 0 as it is meant to only occur once per the mod's parameters. This will allow you to modify the frequency to be random at whatever frequency weight you want.

Seconding an Anomaly Harbringer Phytokin as mentioned earlier. Things like "Plant Harbringer Tree" Mood boost of being around a lot of corpses, Upset when corpses wasted (As in burned instead of eaten) Bonus to rituals if used as invoker. There's a lot to do there!

I think it would be cool if you made it so that phytokin could get some sunlight from the psionic ability solar pinhole

Not with these mods on their own. That's a mod conflict, perhaps with a facial animation mod

So I've run into an issue regarding this mod and a handful other of the xenotype expansion mods where the character will appear headless. Looking through the files I found that certain genes that alter the skin texture(Leather skin, Bark skin, etc) force the head to be invisible. The log for it states that it failed to find a texture. Unsure if others are having this issue or just me.

One of my essential mods, love the race design/lore/mechanics, but the set day of quest spawn (35th day on the rim) kinda makes every playthrough waiting for the Solitary/Ambushed Phytokin quest and then winning the farming game (Moreso with Vanilla Skills expanded), is there any way to make it true random spawn? Love it, just want to make it feel a little more of a huge deal/game changer and not a check listed expansion for every single colony

What is that "father" thing you mention?

My married animakin had a child and when it emerged from the plant it had only animakin genes with nothing from the father who is listed in the child's social as "stepfather".
