hey sarg, i am also having trouble with the draincasket not connecting to my nutrient paste pipes. i put pipes on all four tiles and tried a dripper at the head of the casket but neither seemed to work. am i doing something wrong? i also limited their nutrition to nutrient paste meals because i am manually feeding them.
also, just a BIG thank you for all these mods. i am not only addicted to rimworld, but also to all of vanilla expanded

nom nom nom nom

can you make Corpse feeding or corpse extraction drop all the gear and bionics on a corpse.

having the WHOLE corpse, gear and all, just delete.... kind of sucks. I do what I can to mitigate this, but still....

Plague is a disease, not an infection

I've been experiencing the same thing today - human baseliner pawn has Plague, filter blood isn't doing anything at all.

@Ronald Hardest: You use the ability to extract it. Strigoi have it.

@Vahn Noa: The target didn't have an infection

I've noticed in a lot of situations, the Bruxa filter blood isn't having any effect at all. Any ideas what is causing this?

Is there any way to extract animal hemogen? It has a sprite, and exists in the mod files, but I can't figure out any way of actually getting it in-game other than the "spawn thing" dev command.

If I may add a suggestion: Beeing fed on by a Bruxa should not give negative mood buff. What if it gave a positive one? What it it could have a chance of beeing addictive? 👀

Is there actually a way to extract hemogen packs from other sauguphages for the genes that require other saunguphadge hemogen?

Also having issues with the draincasket being piped to nutrient paste. They starvin!

Is anyone else's draincaskets not accepting nutrient paste from the pipe network?

Is there a way to let vamps share caskets and other sanguophage buildings? Trying to save space on my ship once I finally make the jump to 1.6.

@Mr Crowley, only changing the stockpile priorities. U can place a tap, make it higher priority than a drain and forbid hemogen everywhere else. So you'll have only two stockpiles for hemo in ur colony, one of which is almost always full. And just use same priorities for other taps and drains.

Any recommendations on what to do with pawns stuck in hauling endless loops between the Hemogen tap and drains?

Is it intended for a pawn in the hemohunter mental state to run around doing every drug they can find instead of, ya know, seeking out blood? They'll ignore non-sango pawns, ignore blood packets, and just get REALLY high on opium.

Awesome, thanks. I'm having a blast exploring this mod.

Yes

Hey, I was messing around with Ekkimian and I noticed that whle they don't have the normal Bloodfeed gene, they can still consume Hemogen packs and it gives them human Hemogen. Is this intended? It would certainly help their scalability, allowing them to switch to a Hemogen type without caps at the time where you can install bionics and such to raise stats well past Corpse Hemogen's caps, but the Ekkimian description makes it sound like it might not be.

whats the point of smaller versions of the pump/amplifier ?

The torpor devices consume an insane amount of energy on the ship. They use about twice as much as the rest of my entire ship. Does anyone have a guide on how to tweak this?

It's so annoying that humans will take the blood bags and add them directly to the draincaskets.

I've notice people instantly dying when put in drain caskets, but only when there is something else connected to the network. The culprit in my case was the Gene Extractor Tiers pods. Don't feel like trying pin that down and filing a proper bug report atm. Might do some testing later and see if that's the only problem or if it's things other than drain caskets on the same network in general.

@Soky Ah, thank you very much for responding, I am not sure why Steam updated it weirdly, but deactivating, unsub, resub, enable clearly fixed it and I do even see where the 20 meals a day comes from now, with the proper version. Thanks again, it would be incredibly sad to play without this!

Edit: Actually, the nutri value is correct now, but haulers still just pick up the bloodpacks and feed that to the draincaskets, and the nutrition setting has no options to disable that if the blood os closer than actual food. Is that still version problem?

My newly converted Ekkimian pawn currently wants to change up his hair style at the stylist station, and I don't know how to tell the poor guy that bald is it.

I don't know if it's something that could be changed or not, but despite the unfixable -2 mood penalty, it's equally sad and hilarious that he lost his hair and now desperately wants to have it back lmao

You're using an old version of the mod. In the old version, the nutrition given to draincaskets wasn't considering food nutrition, just the amount of food you put in.

I've made a bunch of changes to how they work. The nutrition of the food you put in matters now. The nutrition consumption matches with what your colonists eat, and it scales with their hunger rate as well (along with their output). And the max nutrition capacity was decreased from 50 to 5 to compensate for those changes (but it'll last longer than it used to in the past).

Since 1.6 empty draincaskets consume food, as well as nutrition settings don't seem to work (closest food item is used, even if forbiden).
Also did the casket always eat around 20 nutrition (enough food for 10 colonists) per day? I'm really not sure if I never noticed or this is new.

To clear up some confusion on draincaskets due to some recent updates:

If they aren't refilled by your colonists and nutrient paste network - this should only happen if someone is inside of a draincasket (or for nutrient paste network, is queued to enter in the next update). This was done to prevent wasting your food while a draincaskets is laying around unused. Also, the nutrient paste network will only refill the draincasket if it's missing at least 1 point of nutrition.

As for why someone is dying instantly in the draincasket - I haven't been able to reproduce it on my own side. However, I may have found what's causing it and fix will be included in the next update. I'm really hoping this is the cause for the bug, as I have no idea what else could be causing it.

Dang, thank you.

Only humans

You can't put animals into draincaskets, can you? My Strigoi's hemogen is getting a real hassle to manage since colony animals will go manhunter if you try feeding on them, and you can't hemogen farm or even manually schedule hemogen extraction from animals (unless they're downed, which would involve anaesthesia and seems to kill them), so if I'm just missing a command somewhere that'd save me a headache...

same issue as below, anyone i put into the drain casket instantly dies

draincasket insta kills anyone i put into

had a draincasks on my gravship. if i had someone (colonist and/or prisoner. dont know for slave but id assume the same thing happens) in them when i took off they would be left behind. staying apart of the map while i left. and when id land they would be gone. is this a problem for anyone else? i found just taking them out of the casks for the trip and then they would stay on ship

Posting this for both VE psycasts and VE Sanguophage.

Currently have a Sang colonist who seems to have her deathrest bugged. Previously, she could deathrest just fine, but her psyfocus never went up while doing so despite it being a meditation focus.

Now, when I try to pop her in the coffin, she goes up to 20% deathrest, and then her deathrest starts declining as if she were awake. The game even gives the line "This colonist must deathrest in X days" while she's in the coffin.

I've tried removing the focus, and the bug still persists. First time encountering this despite playing the save for several, several hours now with no prior problems regarding this colonist's deathrest.

Only thing effecting both are VE psycasts, VE sanguophage, and the additional Hemosage mod for VE psycasts.

@Qu Koi Feijoa yes! it was mentioned in their reddit post

Changelog in descript says "see Changenotes" but change notes tab is just the auto generated stuff ...where's the changenotes?

I don't know where better to ask this, so I'm writing here. Can we expect Vanilla Expanded Race on Starjacks from Odyssey?

No need, Sokyran is reworking them from scratch

@zen: I have the exact same issue, my colonists are feeding the prisoners hemogen packs from time to time even though in the nutrition tab per draincasket they are only allowed simple meals and raw food/plants.

Make a bug report of it aswell so it get's noticed faster!

It looks like draincasket nutrition settings don't actually do anything - I have a hemogen tap nearby and all caskets are set to not use hemogen, yet they'll just waste the hemogen feeding the prisoners with it.

@Sarg Bjornson It is a visual glitch indeed.

@Wrathless: You ain't getting shit unless you report it correctly

@Mr. Grey: Base game visual glitch

The body inside the draincasket vanishes if i zoom out too much.

I'm getting endless repeating blood moon events on starting a colony. Causes a crash. Any thoughts on what might cause the event to repeat forever?

@LASTSAMURAI same

@lastsamurai for now just eject them before liftoff

I seem to be running into a bug where if I have pawns in the drain casket when my grav ship takes off it leaves the paws on the previous map.

Oh, i understand. My bad! Thanks for the reply.
