Hi @Erin,
I just want to let you know, that currently Nuzoxs cant be treated with Odyssey's new 'Sentience catalyst'. Maybe you want to change this.

(I have sadly accepted that they don't nuzzle, no matter how cute they look. But according to your description, it's probably for the better! ;) )

Hi, I had a hybrid baby which inherited the father's genes and the tail from the father is set to "none only gene" according to the game. This would explain why I am not seeing the tail on the father but any ideas as to what might cause this error? I am using Ferny's modpack and have cleared my config files after every modpack update to make sure settings from removed mods dont mess things up.

I'm assuming that this is related to the new updated integrating anthrosonae, but my game is throwing new errors at me now and so I'm just checking in to see if that mod is now required now or if everything is okay etc lol

Included the log file here hope it helps

Will there be plans to add faction and items to this and others.

@Yaveton
- Done

Hello, Erin. I got a question, is there any chance to integrate Anthrosonae's fur colouring system to this and other mods (Fenirfur, Auroria etc)? Currently, tails default to white colour if the fur colour isn't uniform

if you do suggestions, what about a Crow-like xenotype?

crows are awesome, i guess

ty for the mod

@Kirboh
I was having the same problem, and it was being caused by Too Many Mods - Compats and Rebalance .

I fixed it by going to: Mod Options --> Vanilla Expanded Framework --> Toggleable patches --> and setting enable wing integration to false (requires a restart to kick in).

@Kirboh
- That's.. an old issue I fixed before I even released the mod O.o Will take a look later.

Great mod, and I'm not saying that because I want to create a paradise of nothing but beautiful female xenotypes.
I'm having a persistent issue where female Azaphrae would spawn without wings. The Female Wing endogene says doesn't apply because it's being overridden by the Male one, but the Male Wing endogene says it doesn't apply because the pawn is a female. I can fix the problem by going into dev mode and deleting the Male Wing endogene, but it's rather inconvenient.

@goldenleaf6
- Technically yes, as the male and female genes are separated, I can have different stats on them.

I didn't know you could have gendered differences in biotech

@Pearasect
- The forcing of bodytypes is to match their lore, yes, and it's very annoying to get it right XD I get wanting even thiccer ladies but you'd have to change every single mention of a forced bodytype to change it.

And thank you!! I enjoy working on xenotypes. <3

I figured the issue out; in GeneDefs_Tails.xml there are custom offsets for every body type except those two. Adding some in for them fixes it! Jsyk.

I also noticed that the tails, horns, and wings force the female and thin bodies on any pawns that have them; I don't expect this to be changed since it seems to have been done to fit the lore of your species, but I figured I'd mention it anyways just in case there are any other weirdos like me reading this who want even musclier musclegirls. It's super easy to change guys you just have to delete that line!

Also also I just wanted to thank you, Erin, for your mods. They're all really cool! I love your xenotype concepts!

@Erin
Oh yeah I forgot about 1.5 LOL please take your time

@Pearasect
- I'll.. Have a look at it when I can. I'm currently in the process of updating everything to 1.5, so I'll try to remember to take a look when I get to the Azaphrae.

I noticed a minor issue; both the male and female tails are positioned and rotated oddly when used with fat and hulk bodies.

Well then... quite a description

@Peeping Peacock
- the males are smaller, hence why they can move faster and dodge better. The females being able to jump is enough of a combat boost imo.

I love their looks buts its kinda strange how the males have better innate combat stats with movespeed and dodge chance while the females have the wing jump packs as their only combat related buff. I would have thought based on the description females would be significantly better at combat than males.

Ah, I see, thank you kindly :3

@Ryn
- the difference is the frameworks. This one uses the official Biotech system, the other ones use HAR. They're very similar in actual function.

Is it okay if I ask what is the difference between the Biotech and non Biotech version?
I want to say that instead of the pawn being labeled as "race name" they will be labeled as "Human (race name)" and have aspects of the race mod.
Is that how it works?

@SplashOfBlue
- You can use both

Sorry if this was already asked, didn't see it if it was, but would I be able to use this alongside its race counterpart or should I choose one or the other?

Got dawg, the males got cucked by genetics. Fr Fr

@erin
Yes, I missed the <geneClass>VanillaGenesExpanded.GeneGendered</geneClass> part of your addition to make it work, now it does.

@Newguy12354
- Some stuff is from VE Framework.

Of course, immediately after I get frustrated and send you my question below, I get a breakthrough and make it work. I believe I got it now, so I think my question below can be ignored.

Hey Erin, I have very little knowledge on RimWorld modding and I am trying to make a single xenotype, just like you did for the Azaphrae, that have genes that exists only for males and genes that exists only for females. For example, one gender being bigger than the other or one gender having a specific skin color and the other another.

Dug into your mod a bit and noticed the <forGenderOnly> tag, but when I try to make genes from other mods, or even Vanilla, use that tag, it doesn't seem to work and applies all genes to the pawn, no matter their gender.

Why is that? Is it that I need to make a reference elsewhere I am missing or is it because I need to make custom logic, maybe in a .dll file, which is WAY beyond my abilities right now?

No worries! I know it’s not something you can control. Actually it even adds to roleplay!
Things I get for carelessness… rolled two perfectly compatible azaphraes of same age for tribe scenario and only after start did I notice that the girl is lesbian
Guess I’ll try fishing for dominant gene pack
Thanks for your amazing mods!

@Bungee Gum
- Yeah cos most of their genes are gender specific, and with the way they're inherited, which is randomly, I can't control if a sleeping gene pops up or not. =/ Sorry.

Oh, I like xenotypes that aren’t placeholders for some crazy game-changin genes, but just simple and beautiful!

The only issue I’ve had is that hybrid female child inherited male asaphrae gene without female one resulting in a dormant gene

@Jetstream
- not too rare, they spawn in colder biomes if I remember correctly, but it's all random chance at the end of the day.

Love this mod but i have a question. How rare are Nuzox? My colony is almost 2 years old and i never seen one.

muscular women, based

Thanks you for making like this mods, Erin.

That artwork is so lovely <3

@Apocryphus
- Nah they're not paired in any real special way, as I had to fiddle with the genes a LOT for them to work how I wanted them to. X.x I was close to giving up when it finally worked haha.

@Erin no worries, I was just curious! I was really surprised to see dimorphic traits, I thought it wasn't possible to begin with! I was poking around and saw the "forGenderOnly" stuff from the VE Framework and wasn't sure if the traits were paired further than that. Thanks for the info!

@Apocryphus
- ...I don't know, in all honesty. The way I had to do the genes was to get them gendered. I don't know if kids will inherit them properly, because it's random. I don't know if there's anything I can do about it, either. =/

Hi @Erin, I've got a question for you about how these genes are inherited, if you don't mind. It looks like there's pairings of female and male versions of each gene, and children between Azaphrae and other xenotypes may only inherit one or none of each pair - is that correct? I was just curious if my testing was right, or not, and if you knew a way to make it so that they're paired for inheritance. To me it seems like it'd make sense for the pair to be inherited together, but I'm not shure if that's possible :thinking:.

@Radixerus
- that would go directly against their lore. :3

Un-acceptable. In the example image, the man uses the skinny body type. I DEMAND to have Normal body type male representation!

@Everfearful
- Happy birthday? XD

And here I thought I wasn't getting anything for my birthday...

So the men of this xenotype are all twinks while the women are all big tiddy amazons?

10/10, would install this mod again

why is it that this year, mods are gettin a lil too rimworldy

anyway W mod would install 10/10

adorable
