Gigantism was toned down slightly in the new hotfix.

I for one, am infavour of Gigantism, Amazonian Elves my beloved.

REMOVE GIGANTISM.....

great mod. But sadly the giantism gene really turns me off. I get the intent but scaling pawns up makes them look overly large instead of tall. An option to remove it would be highly apreciated

first we got dwarf fortress, now we got elf fortress. Lets gooooo

If I was to have but a single criticism of this mod it's that the Gigantism gene makes Elves too big. 20% is excessive they end up with a ogre like scale and while elves in most setting are suppose to be tall and lithe that does translate well into Rimworld. Maybe tone it down to 5-10%?

nvm cant read lol

i am surprised bigot trait is not a vanilla thing tbh, also can you consider making a faction for these hippies

"My hot German boyfriend " That threw me off wasn't expecting to be reading something like that today xD You go?? lol Looks like a really cool mod though so got my Sub love adding cool new races to my stories and always have loved Elves so a welcome addition! :D

@PicklesMcnasty elves arent real and theres literally tons of fun interpretations that anyone can take up on. Hope this helps x

@Robotic Wizard That sounds like a mod conflict of some kind.

yeah that's because these aren't fantasy elves

bad thematically for elves elves are dogmatic fey creatures which make them unaffected by most poisons and really affected by powerful natural drugs and spiritual practices

Superiority complex gene does not seem to do anything, no negative social relations or moods but I have like 8 baseliners in the colony atm.

@DrewbieTheDestroyer I probably won't, same reason why I won't do dwarves since others have already done great mods on them (Detvisors Stoneborn). My hot German boyfriend Sovereign has already made a great orc mod.

Rats?

I hope this author considers making a rimworld take on Orcs.

BANEBLADE


Sorry, the joke had to be made lol.

@Frenz
If the subject matter is controversial, there are a lot of would-be crusader types that will aggressively refuse to understand that a fictional mod is fictional unless the text explicitly says that it's fictional.

I love the mod, but why are elves bad at crafting? Wouldn’t they be great at it?

Are you an elf?

Space Thalmor are a great addition!

I have to say that I love the space racists. They make a great challenge in raids, and feel unique compared to a normal raid. The last batch even came with a goblin slave!

@Frenz Cope.

where did cover art dude go, he was so handsome and misterious :(

Wearing people skin is okay in-game, not in real life lol

I mean you made a mod for a xenotype that considers themselves genetically superior to others, with a new bigot trait and fanaticism gene then put a disclaimer that you "do not support bigotry or any form of directed hate in any way", as an "own?" to imaginary potential future trolls.
Kinda weird behaviour not going to lie, still pretty funny tho.

That was fast, thanks Vex <3

Ah I love the smell of triggered trolls after they've read the bottom disclaimer.

Thank you for this mod. Now I can work to purge Elves like in Dwarf Fortress.

also thanks for fix

blesed modularity :pray:

@al9000 Matsay helped write a snazy new patch that better calculates the outcome without need to edit their bodysize. So the elves now have a bodysize stat to reflect their size! They don't OD faster though, but that will come down the line since it requires a transpiler patch.

@👁 That's a very neat idea! I'll look into it. Stuff like that though would probably be in its own mod, since I don't wanna add anything people might not want, especially if they're just here for the elves.

ooh aweome, updated, very nice new coverart (quite liked other guy too), did you change the bodyize scaling patch you put in for drug sensitivity to something else?

This would go great with an ideology that allows Special Growing Zones to... Ahem... GROW Special Tree friendly walls.

Especially if there were custom nature themed furniture, vine doors, maybe special flooring and potted plants that double as bio-luminescent light to reduce dependency on torches and electricity.

There was a Morrowrim Mod like that a really long time ago but they didn't explore the idea very far.

Yeah that'll do it. Relics have insane dps scaling.

Pretty sure all relics are garenteed legendary which made for the easy comparison. I know some weapons and materials actually can scale differently based on their stats with the bonuses from masterwork and legendary so it could be some odd interaction based on stats if the difference isn't so great at lower qualities. I know bioferrite is better then plasteel at high rarities but worse at lower. The game can scale weird sometimes.

Though now that I've looked at the absurdity that is bioferrite maybe monoswords just suck now

@MadArtillery That's odd, the quality isn't masterwork or legendary right? If all else fails you can unsub and resub if something went wrong. Also thank you! Glad you enjoy the challenge they pose!

@Vex I only have 38 mods active, mostly just xenotypes, I don't run any of those funky combat mods. It's rocking a strong 46.14. Monosword on the same pawn is only 29.89. Those are Strong melee gene numbers as it modifies based on the gene when looking at the weapon. Almost double was definitetly a poor choice of words word but it's a serious amount bigger.

I do appreciate the elf raiders themselves seem to actually sport pretty solid armour to make armour pen more relevant. Finally got my first raid by them and they make for very interesting raids. Glad they very much have their own identity to their raids, good stuff!

@MadArtillery You more than likely have an unpatched combat mod.

Is the Baneblade meant to have almost double the dps of a monosword? Got one as a relic alongside a relic monosword. It says it's bad vs armor but it still has higher penetration then a centipede has sharp protection.

Thank you for the answer. Cant wait for it :)

@It's Plank! Sirens are being worked on first, then hivers. Skaven can be expected to follow after those two.

@zooey I do get what you're throwin down. This next update actually has better stats for slave suppression, since owning slaves makes an elf colony much easier for reasons you listed. Thank you though for the high praise on balancing lmao

Hey, when should expect the Skaven to appear?

I'd almost say theyre too balanced? Idk. I tried a colony of just Rim-Elves. Finding a builder/crafter/doctor/miner/speaker, is the hardest thing ever. So what do they excel at? Shooting, and planting. As you play, you encounter other xenotypes that fill these huge gaps - problem is the fighting between colonists can give you the feeling that these Elves just arent worth the trouble. I love the bigot trait tho, its quite unique. Give these a try if youve got the patience.

@Oboro36 Thank you for the heads-up! The issue was fixed.

This mod conflict with "Vanilla Expanded Framework"

XML error: <bodyScaleFactor>(1.14,1.14)</bodyScaleFactor> doesn't correspond to any field in type GeneExtension. Context: <li Class="VanillaGenesExpanded.GeneExtension"><bodyScaleFactor>(1.14,1.14)</bodyScaleFactor><headScaleFactor>(1.14,1.14)</headScaleFactor></li>

VEF Developer said "bodyScaleFactor" and "headScaleFactor" are not exist anymore, it needs to swap to a stat based system.

I wish
