Updated to 1.6

There might be a problem with VRE Insectors and their movespeed on Sand, already reported the bug so expect it to be fixed.

1.6 will come when I get home, currently away right now

Second @RomainG - incompatibility with Vannilla Base Generation expanded.

Any update on the yttakin faction?

First of all, let me say that this mod is amazing !! There seems to be a soft incompatibility with Vannilla Base Generation expanded however, as all the cool stuff you added for the insector base generation gets systematically replaced with the default VBGE tribal base (which is quite sad because it means either sacrificing good Tribal base generation or your amazing custom insector generation)

@emihead
I think they must really like your colony

im not sure if its some kind of weird incompatibility but im getting raids from these guys wayy too much compared to like every other faction

Jesus christ even the gifs are top knotch

Hey, thanks for the mod! Do you have any interest in making some backstories to the insectors? The usual tribal ones seem kinda off place.

This contains an unused asset for Insector Pirates icon?

Very cool mod!!!!

Bro I love this! More faction mods please, especially the Alpha mods races. Whenever you're feeling inspired of course...

@Reel, thanks for making unique factions. Definitely gives them more personality!

I absolutely LOVE your mod pages

@Persia
Already working on it, I have an Outlander Yttakin faction playable, just need to give the faction better flavor.

Please please please cover more races and make more mods like this! best addition to the game EVER

Oh, ok alg! I'm not good with technology at ALL, but do you think Insectoids 2 would be able to run on a low-end laptop? I really couldnt tell u my specs or anything, cos I have no clue. It just looks like a lot of stuff added, so I'm unsure. Sorry for 'bug'ging you. Buh dum tsh.

@duckgod69lmao
You'll need Insectoids 2, as the faction bases in this mod uses assets from that mod.

hey! Is VFE - Insectoids REQUIRED? It says seamless integration, but when I press subscribe, it says it is required. And, in the images it shows some parts from that mod. This is obviously a dumb question, just I wanna double check bc I LOVE the Insector xenotype, but am on a potato laptop- unsure if VFE - Insectoids could run.

seekr its an incompatibility between instectoid 2 and realistic planet. its might also be incompatible with some other world generations mods.

phew

Nvm. its the 'Insectoids - 2' that causes this. But still cant use this because that wont work.

This and the other required mods vanished some of the faction bases when choosing a starting area to the point that there was only like 1-3 bases for every faction. Any workarounds or is it just "vanilla" rimworld behaviour? for example do I need to disable some factions when creating the world or something?

this mod is great, i wonder why is this not in the official mod but hey looks great and wishing you great modding expierience when working on upcoming mods.

maybe

Fungoid next? :3

Hey there, for some reason I can only trade with the insector tribe faction on the world map and not with the vanilla ones. It feels weird to tell you this because this mod isn't directly bugged for me, but may be indirectly a part of the problem. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that if I remove it mid save I'm screwed. Is there a place qhere I could put my logs and get some help with this please?

Nice job!

这是虫族2（Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2）和虫人+叙事（Vanilla Races Expanded - Insector）的拓展。作者认为应该有个虫人相关的派系所以做了这个mod。虫族2是养虫子打虫子boss的mod。虫人+叙事是加入了虫人和相关基因的mod和虫族2有很强的关联。另外等这个mod的汉化

@Yukon From naturally aging bug bosses, just because they can do it doesn't mean they don't have to like it.

@Yukon maybe they just buy them from exotic goods traders like i do?

I'm curious what your lore logic is for how the faction is getting a hold of Pherocores without killing bosses, since they're morally against it with their ideology. Sorta, acceptable and required sin kind of thing, do it and then feel bad about it?

Would we be able to add egg laying to them through the xeno editor

This is a great mod, I've had loads of fun using it the past week. Highly recommended.

@ThePhantomX64
Bugfix, as stated below.

what did todays update bring?

Yup, both problems are gone on my end. Thanks!

@Kei ♦
Thanks, pushed out a fix. Lemme know if the problem still occurs.

Oops, meant to say Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Memes and Structures not Alpha Memes!

@Reel Found the cause of the error during world gen and when selecting a research project.
It only happens if you don't have Alpha Memes installed.

The Hivebound CultureDef has a misplaced MayRequire="vanillaexpanded.vmemese" in its thingStyleCategories . It should be placed added at the <li> instead of <category> node.

Other than that, love the mod

i know but i mean starting in a insector tribe

@mastercheifbud1 There already is one with Insectors

could you make a starting scenario

Here's a log with the error (started a game and clicked the research GUI, which is enough to cause exception):
log [gist.githubusercontent.com].

Here's also a log without the mod, and same scenario (clicking the research GUI, but no error): log [pastebin.com].

The only difference I can spot is this line:
[KCSG] Reel's Insector Faction contains 6 missing symbols.

And yeah I took a look at your code and this error is truly nonsense, but it really only happens with this mod set.

No hugslib log, no help.

I'm really confused, because I can still reproduce the bug even with almost no mods: modlist [i.imgur.com]. To reproduce, just start a game with default options, open the research tab, and click any technology, you'll get something like this: image image [i.imgur.com]. I don't have issues if I disable Reel's insector mod.

Can confirm, research UI gets destroyed.

@Swaggy That shouldnt be possible seeing as this mod doesn't edit anything research related.

When this mod is on, the research UI becomes fucked. Whenever I click on any tech, the tab becomes empty as if there was an exception, most of the text disappears, and it won't show any of the items that the tech is supposed to unlock (even though the techs/items are unrelated to this mod). I have 120 other mods enabled so it could be a conflict, will continue to investigate...

I understand, it's living and learning and I love your mods, reel XD thx for bring fun to us!

@PatoPixelado yeah it's just trial and error with world generating
