i want her inside me.

I think the idea of a buff after shield break is interesting but the explosion just kinda works against it, maybe have some kind of buff to the character, like the effects of gojuice for a short amount of time after a break or something, since a pawn with shield spine would likely be melee, and so the shooting pawns behind them would just get blown up.

In the HediffDef, under <explosionOnShieldBreak>. Though honestly, I'm debating on removing it altogether, or at least changing the damage to not ignite.

Is there a config to disable that? As cool as it is, it burned down a quarter of a test world and likely more had it not rained.

If a shield spine is breached, then it explodes, otherwise there is nothing from me here.

Yeah when the pawn engages in combat, it gains a second orange ring around it like the shield spine, which will cause an explosion after being hit and then the ring will disappear. Is that supposed to happen?

also the jaw implant isn't causing the explosion, it just seems like my pawn will explode after being attacked for some reason. Are there any implants from this mod that would do that?

of course it's CE, good to know.

Turns out it's combat extended that's causing the bionics to vanish.

I used prepare carefully, I do have other mods so it could be some kind of incompatibility I just don’t know what mod would cause it.

@Joeythedudeguy I tested it with dev-mode, prepare carefully and character editor and it works fine for me.

@Joeythedudeguy Do you add the implants with prepare carefully or something similar, or do you reset the pawn until one generates with it?

I did notice that the flame breath ability just causes an explosion, like I read in an earlier comment, that's why i guess that it's because they are starting with the implants but I just hoped there was some way i could test them that way

Like starting a new colony with a pawn already having the implants

@Joeythedudeguy How do you spawn the pawn in?

Actually he doesn't spawn with no arms, he just has both of his arms vanish when he tries to attack something. I've tried with hellsaws, hell cannons, and reaper blades and only the hell cannons didn't disappear.

When I spawn a character with hellsaws on his arms, he just spawns with no arms. I assume it works if you attach them normally but i'm just trying to test out the mod and don't feel like progressing a new colony all the way to hell bionics just to test it out.

Thank you for the mods & storing the different versions so people can play the game flexibly.

With how often I end up starting a new game to switch between what mods I got this change hardly effects me especially since I normally get my can kicked in from all the monstrosities & techbros out in the wild ready to wipe my people out that the buddy I stream to on discord has to debate if I'm just bad or if all the mods just make life for my people difficult. To which the answer is both but I tell him it's just the mods & my bad luck.

1. Who said I wasn't going to update this?
2. I didn't know this would ruin saves and only one person has come forward with that problem, but I wanted to give people the option of continuing their old saves, hence the github download.

why would you permanently ruin peoples saves to change the framework of a mod your literally not going to update anymore dude

ATTENTION ATTENTION! BIG UPDATE!
The framework used has been changed, please make sure to download the new one!

Additionally, the shield spines should now reactivate after a short time.

sick art.

1. I get it less than you might think.
2. Thanks.
3. It isn't made to be, but I haven't tried them together, so it could be.

I know you must get this a lot but I have to ask. Is it CE compatible? your mod looks really sick! But my crippling addiction to CE limits me.

A chain themed prosthetic would be cool. Imagine wrapping a raider in a lasso made of red hot chains. That would hurt a ton

I just came in to report the Shield Spine not regenerating... but I guess someone beat me to it lol

@ANNOProfi as far as I’m aware, no regeneration of the shield is completely depleted. Other than that, it regens as normal

@ZZZMETA Found the issue, optimising a fix now.

But the plasma regenerated as intended?

Depleted by damage, and was left unregenerated for a week. It seems a workaround is just reinstalling the spine itself

@ZZZMETA See comment below, it should regenerate, as long/as soon as the pawn has plasma, specifically 0.075 plasma per tick for maximum recharge. The spine itself produces 0.05 per tick, so it should regenerate on its own basically instantly.

Was it hit by an EMP, or just depleted by damage?

If the infernal shield is depleted, how long does it take to recharge? It’s been off for a couple days now

In other words: not a bug. Just my own idiocy.

FOUND IT! It Apparently I (somehow) spawned the actual dash thing (labelled as HB_PawnDasher) and that is what caused the never ending, unburning fire.

odd...

@Friendly Demogorgon It means two things:
1. This isn't the original error, look for the one with the same ID as the [Ref], should be relatively close by in the log.
2. What I think is happening is that a pawn used its dash ability, but somehow got stuck mid-dash, so your infinite fire is not actually infinite, but being constantly reapplied. Doesn't make sense that it doesn't spread though.

the error I keep getting in the dev console is this btw:
Exception ticking HB_PawnDasher1826995 (at (106, 0, 200)): System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I have no idea what it means.

got a bug thats related to the mod, and that bug is a FUCKLOAD of fire in the bottom left corner of the map that can't be put out and doesn't spread. (and before you ask, yes I have tried everything, ranging from using console commands, attempting to use firefoam and even reconfiguring all of my mods and the order they are loaded. It has not helped. The fire is still there.)

@Oozily It's supposed to recharge, if you've got enough plasma. On its own, it generates enough for itself and it works for me.
Did something happen that could've messed with it, like an EMP or something?

i dont know if its a bug with just me but the shield spine wont recharge

Posting so there's a follow-up for others that see this: The bug in question was caused by a weird interaction between HAR and Alpha Implants that has since been patched. Everything works as intended now.

hmm, probably something in my modlist fucking things up then. Sorry for the bother.

@TheRedPriest I have tested it on multiple xenotypes from B&S and all the bionics that should be installable, are installable. The only instance where I can't install a bionic is when the pawn doesn't have the required body parts, like a leg onto a snake tail.

Big and Small genes ones

@TheRedPriest which HAR race/races exactly?

Hmm I notice these don't seem to be able to be installed on HAR races...any chance of a patch?

I have made a discord server, to better deal with the growing popularity of my mods, so head on over for bug reports and ideas.

i will look into it soon...

weird request , but any chance for compat with integrated implants and its extra arms? it be pretty dope to run arround with pawns with 4 chainsaw arms
