i love chicken plucker. i wish chicken plucker was real.

How can I make the helmets? Not showing in tailor bench

Compatible partially

Daily reminder that this mod has been CE compatible for quite some time.

@LoveHeart041 - Thank you for the suggestion, all stats aren't final I'm just very busy. I did want the armours to do something unique. Cheers.

@Dan - Hey mate, thanks for the suggestion, was planning on it. Cheers

@Nupo - Thanks brova!

@ONeillO - Hey mate! I'll be honest, I'm already being generous enough with the vac resistance buff. Why? Because Helldivers drown in Helldivers 2. Void of space is equivalent to having zero oxygen underwater, but these guys drown in B-02 armor.

The Vacsuit is designed for space exploration, not combat. The Helldiver armors are designed for combat, and let's pretend they just finally sorted out the oxygen recycling problem for a moment, the worst conditions Helldivers face are blizzards in cold wasteland planets, not space where temperatures could reach -200 degree celcius.

Continued..

I didn't want the Vacsuits to lose their usefulness for what is ultimately not a set of powered armor. Light armor gives the least cold resistance, medium is okay and heavy gives the most cold protection.

I'm happy with the current settings, I understand not everyone will be happy with this, but I feel for once we have to be reasonable here. B-02 and the armor variants here aren't designed for zero oxygen environment, at the end of the day you get some kind of BDU or padded fatigues under some spacer armour.

Small question, are there plans to give cold protection equivalent to vacsuits to the helldiver armours? feels a bit odd having the vac resistance but still freezing in minutes, Great work as always though!

You still a sapper? I reckon if its doable maybe give special armors to officers of the faction etc cant relate how happy i am to see you so updating so quickly to the new build <3

love the mod, only request maybe have small bonuses? like the medical one possibly helping with surgery or even tending? other than small things, i fricken love this mod so much to make!

Thanks man, these are amazing! Please take your time with the updates - life comes first.

Hey guys, unfortunately the updates aren't coming today for new armors and weapons arriving. Something's come up with work, but I will do my best to squeeze in updates in my free time.

I have begun working on the SEAF faction, give me your thoughts on:
- Whether Helldiver NPCs in the faction should just stay in B-01 armor or have a variety
- What would you like to see in the faction mod that won't need insane coding?
- Are you guys having issues with weapon volumes being too low in 1.6 for Helldivers firearms?

Please let me know, thanks!

@Scheißkerl - God bless you too my friend

god bless you

Update is pushed, capes are fixed, vac protection in space is available for all armors except all SEAF medium armors

Nobody reported the capes rendering over pawns?! Guys come on! (Totally should've checked that myself)

Fix is coming in ASAP with the vac protection.

For now the only armors not EVA rated for space are:
- SEAF armor set
- SEAF trooper set

I felt this is reasonable considering theyre meant for ground forces in planetary defence. Heavy trooper is just adapted Helldiver armor so it'll work in space.

Will push soon as capes are fixed, wish someone told me

Spoke too soon guys, I am running on Bingo fuel for work tomorrow. Spent the day updating a few headaches, like VOID faction and the furniture mod. Will push out the three new armours tomorrow.

Vac protection stats will come out in the next several minutes, but that's about it.

Also found out we had unreleased new weapons for the firearms mod, like the Deadeye, STA, Dominator and Flamethrower strategem.

I will get it all pushed out with the DOOM mod update tomorrow. Cheers all.

@He7602 - Cheers mate

thank you for your mods chicken plucker

Hey all, EVA protection, the cowboy warbond and Helghast armor will come today, just give me a dang moment, mans a bit overwhelmed.

Will try to gun for new descriptions too, just to let you know this will affect CE compatibility.

Please do add the vac protection if convenient

thanks you

Additionally I'll consider adding vacuum protection and EVA capabilities for the armours in the mod, just that I tried it with Rangers faction and it did something funky with pawn generation so I will hold off for now. Cheers.

Hey all, 1.6 is here. Currently holding off on pushing new armours and fixing descriptions on account of the Super Hellbomb 1.6 update that dropped, right during a busy season in my career. Thanks for the patience, sometimes hobbies have to take a backseat unfortunately.

i remeber waiting for the 1.5 update of your mods when it was a few factions. I will wait for 1.6 as long as needed, your mods are worth it

*stares in 1.6*

update for 1.6 pls

Will this be updated to 1.6?

The bad guys from Helldivers 2 are finally in Rimworld!

Thanks so much for your work , guys. Absolutely amazing!

that SOS2 update still planned right?

have plan for 1.6？

Now that there is official spaceship content I was thinking of working on some Helldiver mods.

I would love to connect with you, sent a friend request.

Hello i really liked your work
Are you guys planning to add more armours?

Pardon me for the delay in updates guys, gonna be a busy 2 months.

We have a pending update for AC-1, the cowboy warbond armor and a few other fixes for your armour descriptions. Faction is planned and is still going to happen, just need a breather because responsibilities irl are knocking on the door and I like to keep my sanity by not stressing about this huge mod at the moment.

Also? Super Earth was attacked, we all had to sort that out, obviously.

See you guys when the update gets around

Finally, the rim can be liberated!

FOR SUPER EEEEEEEAAAAAAARTH

It is already merged with the Steam CE proper.

@AI Otomatis Universitas Telkom I wish there's a Steam patch version of it. I am a huge Helldivers fan, as it's a shame that it's not on Steam yet.

so uh CE said its patched in the patch list them madlads doing the Test and Error ordeal insane but love it

@Yatoro煜 - Should already show behind the body mate.

@Cynthwayve - Yes, will take time

@[] Ayyysguy - Hello mate. I pay to commission more armours to be made, right now I can't afford to have more created so it's not gonna happen anytime soon unfortunately.

@AI Otomatis Universitas Telkom - Thank you mate.

Thank god, one that doesn't require CE.

Can we get a Helldivers-based faction?

The cape layer should be -1 to show behind body, by the way, really cool.

Will we possibly be getting Masters of Ceremony Warbond added?

Arcalane on GitHub actually already patched it for Combat Extended; it's not merged with the current version, so please grab the build on GitHub if you want the patches, see if it works, and send thanks to Arcalane if you got the change, cheers!

@Chicken Plucker cheers mate cant wait

CE Compatibility questions - I'm not out to intentionally not make the mod work for CE guys, it's just a lot of work trying to figure out how to patch for CE. I'm busy with irl, and I'm busy with my own mods and figuring out how to make them work with vanilla, what more making them work with someone else's set of rules and mod that revamp vanilla mechanics?

Consult the CE team in their discord, the guys who make patches for CE are very good at their job, they're the ones you talk to for requests.

@Wrecker2108 - Yes, the textures are finished, just need to find the time to include them in a new update mate.

@Bussling fungus - Hey mate, I will update descriptions later, just a bit overwhelmed with irl issues but I will make it happen sometime.

@tacoman3561 - Hey mate, thanks for informing me. I fixed it during the time you reported it.

@lobotomized larry - Cause it's summer bro

@Kelly's Heroes DVD BluRay - No sadly. Too much work to do an entirely new race which isn't really a mechanoid race, they're cyborgs. It's so much effort to make a normal baseline human faction, what more a brand new race. Maybe in the far future but I don't see it mate, sadly, not from me because I'm so busy

@Necro01 - Hey mate. I've made a few exceptions to custom armor in the game, and that's for the highly popular chaos diver and specialist SEAF series. I'm not going to add a B-01 in SEAF colors because we already have the ambassador of the brand and the regular SEAF uniform is already a B-01 with minor modifications.

@Alpharius - Hey. I appreciate the concern but I'm not removing the chaos divers outfit. I've been teamkilled just like everyone else by people claiming to be in their little group during the whole fiasco 1-2 years ago.

It's meant to be part of the faction mod later as a bunch of rogue Helldivers. There is no drama, nobody else I see crying offense at a uniform. It's a major part of the lore and a lot of players who are part of that crowd disavow the teamkillers, and I'm satisfied with this.

I just don't see it affecting your singleplayer experience and why there has to be this outrage in a day and age where more important things are going on, no offense.

i dont want to be that guy.. but any chance for a B-01 in SEAF colors?

@Nice Nape'em I have never met a chaos diver, but I became aware that they all have reddit, so me in my endless stupidity went to their subreddit
that was my first mistake
they're just a bunch of fucking losers who don't deserve the continued representation
