Hmm
CatLover366  [author] 28 Mar @ 6:35pm 
The framework that this uses (Athena Framework) is discontinued. Unless that is picked up by someone else, I am not going to bother.

I need 1.5
Sovereign 14 Jan @ 10:34am 
Athena is dead so no
KarolTheWildOne 10 Nov, 2024 @ 5:51pm 
any estimated date for 1.5?
Jawstag 1 Nov, 2024 @ 10:28am 
please 1.5 man
Phantomz 22 Sep, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
+1
Simonhez 13 Jun, 2024 @ 10:20am 
Just wanted to add my +1 to loving this mod and waiting for 1.5 patiently... kinda :D
CatLover366  [author] 29 May, 2024 @ 1:43am 
Alright
mynameactually 24 May, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
Also keeping an eye out on this for 1.5 update.
KarolTheWildOne 11 May, 2024 @ 6:43am 
1.5 pleaaase, i can't live without this mod - I love it so much, it's definitely one of my favorites, good work!

(also, I think it would be amazing if crypto's abilities put out the flames on impact.)

Actually, a correction to my previous statement and anyone who thinks the "crypto" terminology is completely made up and silly. Its actually based on cryptobiosis, which is the ability that some animals have to completely halt their metabolic processes when in adverse conditions and resume them at a later time. Presumably the implication is that cryptocaskets induce this state in humans somehow.

I will wait for someone to update it. Since the disgin really cool.
blitz 21 Apr, 2024 @ 7:12pm 
1.5 please.
Velvet 16 Apr, 2024 @ 11:17am 
I also think its moreso actually meant to be a play on words. Its a combination of cryo and crypt, because in vanilla the sole technology we see it used for is called a casket. What are crypts often full of? Caskets. Whether that's clever or just really forced wordplay that makes things unnecessarily confusing is an exercise for the reader.

I've never actually heard that explanation, and it doesn't seem to be present in the current lore document, but I'll take your word for it. Even then though, that might be the in-universe lore explanation for the name, but Tynan absolutely came up with the play on words first and then made that up to justify it.

@SimonTheSorcerer
I am glad you didn't take what I said as an attack on you. That was unfair of me. But ya while it can be odd there is actually a reason in the base game to it's cryto. To save you the mega lore dump in world they use cryptovariable data latus to "Skip to the end dock." They use data to administer drugs to stabilize and replicate your dna so your body can't break down.
SimonTheSorcerer 13 Jan, 2024 @ 9:18am 
@Sera Yeah, you're right Sera! I have never noticed! Very weird (and frankly dumb). But whatever, thank you for bringing it to my attention Serra. When you are right you are right, and you definitely are in this case. ;)
CatLover366  [author] 4 Jan, 2024 @ 3:17pm 
@Loot Goblin yes. It doesn't get in the way of anything
Sera 28 Dec, 2023 @ 5:11pm 
@SimonTheSorcerer ok im not the dev and this is starting to annoy me. It's crypto because the base game calls it that! Don't believe me try looking up cryosleep pod. Google will show you that's wrong.
SimonTheSorcerer 27 Dec, 2023 @ 7:14am 
If it's about cold and winter it should be CRYO, meaning cold, not CRYPTO, meaning bitcoi nand other cryptocurencies...
Sera 21 Dec, 2023 @ 11:50pm 
if it helps i think crypto is perfect as it does match the vicing gear and the game base wording.
CatLover366  [author] 21 Dec, 2023 @ 8:17pm 
I am one meltdown away from changing the mod name into cryo bionics.
Sera 21 Dec, 2023 @ 7:19pm 
@solomon
Kind of. Crypto is a defined as a hidden jewel or a secret sect. Crypto in regards to what you are thinking is slang shorthand for cryptocurrency or a hidden currency.
Solomon 21 Dec, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
You say not that kind of crypto, but that's the only kind of crypto. There isn't an alternate meaning of crypto that means cold.
Driver Nephi 13 Dec, 2023 @ 2:54pm 
Cryptomancers out here stealing NFTs smh
Sherlunch 9 Dec, 2023 @ 12:48am 
Crypto-siphon arms would be great for a hacker - just point at someone and steal their dogecoins
pee ness 8 Dec, 2023 @ 6:13pm 
bitcoin prosthetics....... ethereum miner built into your arm
NihilRetnar 8 Dec, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
I think the crypto in cryptosleep is referring to the minimal or secure nature of the casket and not the temperature but oh well.
CatLover366  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 6:43pm 
Cryptosleep caskets
Koizumi Yui 7 Dec, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
If it is all ice themed why name it crypto and not cryo bionics?
Brian 7 Dec, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
lol
CatLover366  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 10:43am 
Not that kind of crypto
EchoBlue 7 Dec, 2023 @ 10:33am 
ah yes, my favorite kind of Vikings, bitcoin.
ZZZMETA 6 Dec, 2023 @ 5:04pm 
Hoho I always wanted more Viking themed content! The crypto equipment from VFE Vikings was so cool, so I'm glad theres more of that theming now
UtterlyFlabbergasted 5 Dec, 2023 @ 8:51pm 
shit do I always require the crypto core for any of the abilities to work?
CatLover366  [author] 5 Dec, 2023 @ 8:46pm 
I'm afraid I do not know then, as I tested this mod with Hell Bionics before I even published it.
CatLover366  [author] 5 Dec, 2023 @ 7:11pm 
@UtterlyFlabberghasted did you try drafting the pawn with the crypto bionics?
UtterlyFlabbergasted 5 Dec, 2023 @ 7:03pm 
I think this mod is incompatible with hell bionics made using the same framework. I dont have any prompts to use the cold abilities despite having the cryptosiphon arms and crypto legs on the guy with a crypto core for good measure.
CatLover366  [author] 5 Dec, 2023 @ 6:23pm 
@Valdrax because cryptosleep caskets exist
Valdrax 5 Dec, 2023 @ 6:17pm 
Why Crypto instead of Cryo, given the theme is all about cold, not secrets?
MetaVandetta23 5 Dec, 2023 @ 12:39pm 
This really works well together witf VFE Vikings. Cant wait to make a playthrough of nordic bionic cryogenic nords!
Lizumi 5 Dec, 2023 @ 10:48am 
this is kinda based on the vanilla expanded vikings right? always wanted them to have more content, very cool
Tcgirl8 5 Dec, 2023 @ 10:42am 
now this is cool!
CatLover366  [author] 4 Dec, 2023 @ 10:48am 
Thank you everyone!
Agamenton 4 Dec, 2023 @ 7:53am 
this is such a cool concept, I'm really looking forward to seeing those in my game from now on
ShielÐ 3 Dec, 2023 @ 7:29pm 
Very nice
CTH2004 3 Dec, 2023 @ 3:47pm 
@whenwrašk

Combine it with Super Hero Genes , which has all sorts of ice (and fire, acid, hemogen... you name it) based abilites!
