There are tons of research mods, just choose one

I'm sorry, of course, but is it possible to make a small mod that puts the VE research tab in order, because there's a lot of space there, and the mods themselves are superimposed on each other (not critical, but still)

What genes can be astrogenes, is it almost all genes?

Not really. Like our wasters, they have a hidden gene that transforms into the astrogenes

can my custom guys i have at start have astrogenes if i give them all the starjack genes

Gerewoatle with the absolutely correct take. Also, Vanilla Expanded mod lovers STAY WINNING!

ok thanks

You can see what mods we're working on on our Patreon.

@Oskar Potocki

@Sarg Bjornson

#Sarg Bjornson are you guys going to do Yttakin?

Or a terrified scream

Passively letting corpos determine the actual day-to-day language we use is a travesty.

Personally I just can't interpret the "ahh" nonsense as anything other than a person spontaneously nutting in the middle of their sentence.

"AAASSSSS!!" -AVGN

@StockSounds: You can say ass

@Ing afaik they are remaking Ancients, Furniture: Security, and Mechanoids Expanded, since they were outdated to the point of being barely vanilla and/or the code was broken af (at least for the Ancients)

I saw what you guys did, you removed the silly ahh green mustache from the Vanilla Gravships Expanded guy!!!

Also pleeaase don't just add ship battles for the sake of it, tell me you know how to make it interesting and not just a situation where either you win because you have better firepower or lose because you have worse firepower.
The oxygen pipeline seems really cool and I really don't want it to come with ship battles.

@Ing Ancients won't be updated to 1.6 because they are remaking the mod.

Hello, I am translating your mods into Ukrainian, and I wanted to know if Vanilla Factions Expanded - Ancients will be updated to version 1.6?

I think they forgot to add 2 collection

Not in collection?

Good mode, but... ah, its still Imbalance... what make me sad, but-but, I still can change some stats and make it more vanilla, what good!

Thanks for mod, because vanilla xenotype is really useless

@penglars just assume there is no list and they can roll anything. Mine even rolled an android "gene". It's truly random

where in this mdo description do they list the different astrogenes

I could've sworn they were from vanilla too for a while, but yeah, they're from VFE Insectoids 2.

@Niko. I could swear they're vanilla, but if they're not, they're from VFE Insectoids 2. Because that's the only other mod I use that could possibly add new insectoids to my game and I've seen those guys before.

What mod is that big centipede insect from??

Cool mod! Thank you for new genes!

Lmao that was hilarious

@Gerewoatle lmfao that got me good unexpectedly

@Stocksounds - It's the newest TikTok trend where you stare directly into the sun as you crank it.

Sarg Bjornson I come from the past what the hell is a starjack

Oskar Potocki I come from the future please update this mod to 1.7, Elon Musk is president and he is destroying the economy....

I'm curious, how does the Psychic Bonding astrogene work? Does the bond stop when they're on the ground? Is there a penalty for the bond breaking?

Thank you very much! Will there be new impids, Neanderthals, moles?

Great job Polish guy!

I'd also really love to see the opposite genes added to the gene pool (not added to Starjacks but added to the game, found in genepacks with traders). I.e. Atmospheric Pressure Efficiency and Low-gravity sensitivity. It's always nice to have both sides of the coin, makes gene editing fun and worthwhile to pursue.

To me that would make a lot more sense.

@StockSounds it's just an odd naming they chose I'd say. Oxygen sensitivity/vacuum efficiency are misleading, because it has nothing to do with the oxygen/vacuum, but is all about the surface they're on. Imo changing the naming to something gravity related would make more sense and be more intruitive.

Oxygen sensitivity -> Atmospheric Pressure Sensitivity. Carriers of this gene are *slightly* averse to high-pressure environments. In high-pressure atmospheres [rest of description].
(vacuum resistant apparel allows for low-pressure atmosphere inside the suit).

Vacuum efficiency -> Low gravity efficiency. Replace zero-atmosphere in description with low-gravity.

How can they be weak to oxygen and simultaneously fine with oxygen pumps? Couldn't they have been allergic to something else in the planet's atmosphere that isn't plentiful in gravships?

It works just fine in space, no need for negative oxygen pump.

i thought for sure there was going to be a negative oxygen pump to facilitate their weird o2 weakness

Alright, after playing with this a little more, it's alright. My biggest issue is its just so light on content compared to like every other VRE though so it still feels somewhat like a rush job, so here's hoping future updates make it feel as expansive as say the pigskin or hussar VREs!

probably the 3rd best one in the VRE series, im proud of it!

This is a pretty cool mod. Now it really feels like the Starjack are more adapted to space conditions. But the Astrogens are cringe. Not only can they easily overlap the genes of the Xenotypes, but they also easily overlap each other. Also, about 20% of my Starjacks received mutation genes from the VRE - Waster. It was funny, but strange. Perhaps it is worth introducing stricter limits for the Astrogens. Or even making a separate pool for them (as was the case with mutations in the VRE - Waster). I apologize in advance for any translation errors.

Is there a way to add astrogenes to an existing pawn? if not, could a seperate mod interact with astrogenes to add them to pawns?

@Sarg:
It works for me. (Albeit with a warning that can be ignored.)
Is this only because I created the post?

Wikia doesn't allow direct linking ;)

Tail-jumps ... [static.wikia.nocookie.net]

On a more serious note (and as stated before), those tails are a reference to the Austers [static.wikia.nocookie.net] in the "Hyperion" story. Their tails are, however, artificial. But they serve the same purpose.

Been excited for this one, thanks!

impervious does not mean reduced
