you know sheks using biotech xenogenes makes more sense than the original mod, with the kenshi lore

After some time, if I researched and understood correctly, this mod doesn't need any CE patch.

I was wondering, Rim-hivers and rim-shek are CE compatible by default, are your biotech versions are also automatically compatible or not? I personally dont think so, and I may make a compat patch.

@Derg definitely not the xenotypes which have integrated armor, or the ones that apparently change the bodyshape and make it something different from average human.. and the list goes on and on. CE changes a LOT of things, not only weapons man.

@HappyAnarch1st Bro this is not a weapons mod. Pretty much all xenotype mods are compatible by default

CE?

@Vex That's great!

@Yehoria I'm revamping them, I made this mod when I was in a lull and didn't wanna go all the way with them. Things like plates on the body, and cutting off their horns.

Huge Kenshi fan. Thanks for bringing over what you have to Rimworld!

@Aitor i inspected the code and the limitations could be circumvented by splitting the gene in two(for plates and horns). There is so much interesting stuff to be done here...

well, i suppose that genes have more limitations, but at least we have this so im happy

And it baffles me that you used headbones instead of forced head types

The lack of body bone plating is also quite underwhelming

While from a mechanical standpoint i like this mod better, the other one definetly has better visuals

Yep.

so this still works with 1.4?

Sorry, error with the about folder.

where 1.4?

please reupload the 1.4 version!

1.5?

Pretty cool that you made a biotech version! I was wondering if you planned on bringing back the vanilla style for pawns with this one? I liked how simple they looked. Love your work!

heres hoping skeletons and hivers get translated into biotech soon

out of curiosity, why doesn't the bone armour add some armour points to them?

THanks!

Couple thoughts. First, the bodies. There is, to my recollection, a single fat shek in Kenshi, and he's more or less a joke character. On the other hand there are loads of hungry shek skellingtons all over the place. The other thing is super clotting. Shek in Kenshi bleed only marginally less than greenlanders and certainly don't have any ability comparable to that; if they did they'd be pretty OP. I found that ditching that plus swapping kill thirst (which I think is more of a desire to murder than their characteristic battle lust) and aggressive for hyper aggressive and also taking awful intellectual comes to the same metabolic cost and something that is somewhat closer to their depiction in Kenshi.

They're meant to be very niche, if they're watered down they're basically hussars without the go-juice dependency. And hivers might be on the to-do list, but they'd be a while off since some genes would need C# and I simply don't have the time right now to code it.

you planning to do hivers?

gotta be honest, they're rather annoying to play as or agiainst, if possible I'd bring them closer to baseline humans so they aren't out for a season every time they get beat up

it's cool that you updated it for Biotech! but i have a question. why artwork from old shek mod aren't used here? imho the old one looks better

Currently I cannot give a ETA in good faith, my life's a little turbulent rn so I can't make any promises on mod releases.

Hi thank you for this, is there an eta on the other races like hivers to be updated to use Biotech?

@VulcanoLV 100% Go ahead! You don't need to ask me if you want to make a Kenshi mod.

Hi, I was just in the process of making a mod similar to this but it added all 3 main human races of Kenshi (everything but skeletons) ive made quite a lot of progress on it so far and currently finishing off some textures for the sheks and beginning work on the hivers' genes I was just wondering if you would be okay if I released that or maybe wanted to collaborate in someway?

amazing

YES. THANK YOU

Beep!

@Jarrah The horns are just like the horns on the imps. The overall buffs and such are shown in the xenotype pic.

so if i grab this and the original mod at the same time, can i create a double shek

are the genes just aesthetic? or are there buffs? why does it not say this in the mod description?

Beep!

That's incredibly kind of you. Thank you. <3

Very good brother, calm down, you are great. I will try more of your mods mate and hope all goes well for you and always listen to your heart.

@Seberus I'm currently working very slowly on converting some of my old HAR mods between work and college, once that's done I might try and check them out.

Pphy me boy.

hey friend, would you be willing to fix the jellyfish men mod so that it works well with biotech, the original author abandoned it and the one who continued it is no longer interested in it. He says that he will no longer continue, he will not do anything for that mod, the truth is that the jellyfish race is very interesting and I know that it is much more creative than other xenotype mods, the problem is that the conversion to xenotypes has not been done and it works badly with the alien races mod

...Bioshek

Love it. Please give us also the other both races. Thank you very much <3
