Is it possible to hire lost drones using queen or I still need a prince?
Gob 15 Jun, 2024 @ 5:44am 
one with the hive!!!
sadr4 29 May, 2024 @ 11:32am 
is there a way to recruit them without a new scenario
Magic_zak 16 Aug, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
yeah we should add a hiver production capacity,
hoslinger 12 Jul, 2023 @ 4:10pm 
proper queen would lay eggs, which would hatch into hive-maggots, who once they crawled around and ate food for a while would molt into new hivers. I guess that mod has yet to be written.
Stargazer 10 May, 2021 @ 12:29pm 
Its possible just wait maybe someone will be able to make it i hope
Waste 30 Jan, 2021 @ 2:10pm 
I wish that was possible lol
Atzuky 10 Nov, 2020 @ 7:27am 
i want a mod where the queen can breed news hives, so you don't have to go around claiming new hives and you can form a new immersive Hive Empire :steamsad:

why my queen don t like eat raw meat?
Mowbymow  [author] 23 Jul, 2020 @ 10:25am 
Weird! The Queen has the same speed as a shek, one of the slower races. So she is only slow compared to other Hivers.
lalala 3 Jun, 2020 @ 2:39pm 
Lol now loaded the game and she is back organic. Wtf (no reimport, no order change)

But speed is up to normal again ....

How slow is the "slow" you are talking about?
lalala 3 Jun, 2020 @ 2:26pm 
Note, I have hiver expansion, but queen is loaded after it so the hiver extension should not override queen settings. Also confirmed by the fact that queen currently is slow as in description, but when I place her before hiver expansion, she becomes non robotic and has the said hunger rate, but moves normally fast and not slow. Currently, robotic, the queen mod is under the hiver expansion in the list.
lalala 3 Jun, 2020 @ 2:24pm 
Queen is 100% robotic and has no hunger contrary to what the description tells.
youngnastyman 30 May, 2020 @ 1:43pm 
hi
Ano 8 May, 2020 @ 6:54pm 
I wish the queen can be useful like it can lay eggs to help the queens aid for labor or guards
Swords500 20 Mar, 2020 @ 11:53pm 
Wait since she has natural armor in her chest... Then can you make a mod that gives shek their intended natural armor that was never given? Would much appreciate if you could!

Is the queen who could recruit zombie hives and ally with cannibal?:steammocking:
josephjoecamp 14 Aug, 2019 @ 9:40pm 
saw this on rhadament and want to give it a try looks awesome already :)
gazza_m_bolton 26 Jul, 2019 @ 7:36am 
my god thank you for this it is great to try and do
Mowbymow  [author] 26 Jul, 2019 @ 3:38am 
Thanks! The slave start i assume has forced races as the holy nation would not keep skeletons as slaves. Normal hivers are kept as slaves though, so there is no reason that a Queen could not. I have added the Queen to the slave start :)
gazza_m_bolton 25 Jul, 2019 @ 10:57am 
Firstly great mod. I am currently playing a hive only play through with a queen but want to do a new play through starting with the queen for the slave start but she don't appear as an option wondering if there is reason for that?
Mowbymow  [author] 24 Jul, 2019 @ 1:38pm 
Originally the mod would add a very rare chance for a hive queen to spawn at hive villages. This was before hive queens were added into the game by the devs however. The hive queen can be found on an island west of Vain .
HS|OwlsWizard 17 Jul, 2019 @ 4:34pm 
Hey, Just got a quick question. From some earlier comments on this thread, it seems as though this mod adds a chance for a hive queen to spawn in the world. Is this true, and if so, are there any guaranteed spawn points for her?
Shadow Raven 16 Apr, 2019 @ 6:58am 
Thanks, looked silly with having a helm on, while not (Within red box XD).
Still love this mod (Also apparently one of the only ones which doesn't make the Hive Queen a Skellyman)
Mowbymow  [author] 16 Apr, 2019 @ 3:24am 
Helmets are back :)
Shadow Raven 14 Apr, 2019 @ 3:17pm 
Well noticed that Queens no longer can have helmets at all.
israfel3216 14 Apr, 2019 @ 1:26pm 
I check the workshop everyday waiting for a Queen that can produce new hive, please save me from my constant depression and make my dreams come true, if you do i will be your slave in the after life ;) yours truly - Sad man
Mowbymow  [author] 17 Mar, 2019 @ 8:52am 
1. Is the Queen able to get Hiver Recruits from Hiver Villages?
Not currently, although this would be easy to implement.

2. Can the Queen "produce" new Hivers.
Something i have looked into, however doesn't seem to be possible using only the forgotten construction set.

3. Is this a self made model?
The model is the same as The hive queen that can be found in Kenshi

Bellum 21 Feb, 2019 @ 8:38am 
Sooooo can i pump out an army of expendable hivers with this queen?
Mowbymow  [author] 8 Feb, 2019 @ 1:59am 
Depends if the other mod would override this mod, if not then this should fix her. If it does not, Hive Queen "is robot" just needs set to be set to false in the Editor :)
bunz 7 Feb, 2019 @ 7:44pm 
i've got on ongoing game but have found that with a different mod, the hive queen is set as a skeleton, so they don't eat, but they still starve and then repeatedly 'reset'
would downloading this over top solve the issue you think? or would I be better off modifying some files myself
Incognito Core 23 Dec, 2018 @ 10:16am 
Additionally, I noticed that whenever a Hive Queen is referred to by another character, or suchlike, they are referred to in male pronouns.

Also, Additionally-Additionally, What you're up to is pretty nifty. Do keep it up!
Incognito Core 23 Dec, 2018 @ 4:19am 
Is the Hive-Queen normally as pudgy compared to the normal Hivers, or is this a result of your work? Either way, do you have any experience with weight-painting?

I ask, because I noticed that hive-queens have clipping and slider issues in regards to equipment and clothing.
Mowbymow  [author] 22 Jun, 2018 @ 2:35am 
Hunger rate is found under Races->Groups->Hive->Hivequeen in the stats section.
Ulterior The Panzie 21 Apr, 2018 @ 11:53pm 
How would I go about editing the hunger rate for her? I've tried searching around the FCS but I'm not proficient enough with it to know where to look.
Mowbymow  [author] 12 Mar, 2018 @ 1:32pm 
Of course, she can be fully modified!
MetalGarurumonX 12 Mar, 2018 @ 1:22pm 
Thank you do much for this update! One question: Can we give her robotic limbs? If yes... *evil grin* :steammocking:
Mowbymow  [author] 12 Mar, 2018 @ 12:44pm 
I had added the Hive Queen as she was in the game files. However, taking into consideration everyones comments i have updated a few things! The Hive Queen should now make a great unique addition to everyones squads.
Kasadoll 12 Mar, 2018 @ 6:23am 
I like it but holy geez is she slow...can you add something to the hive queen to make her faster? As it was said before she is extremly slow moving
How Zany 17 Feb, 2018 @ 8:31pm 
Insects have abdomens in the back... like a huge ant butt... not in the front like mammals... this is just freakish. I normally love insect queens and concepts like spider queens and even Zerg Queens but this???
Gordon Vrijman 12 Feb, 2018 @ 1:14pm 
Is there a way to spawn the hive queen? I've been checking the hive villages but haven't found her there either.
Izuela 24 Sep, 2017 @ 2:51am 
So I started a new game with this character and she is very slow moving. Not running at all. Athletics is 44 and her max speed is 27. Is there a way to increase her speed? She is not usable as it is now.
Villager 23 Aug, 2017 @ 1:15pm 
I downloaded the mod mostly so my sneaky bugman drone toon could see a queen at my neighborhood Western Hive but all I ever see is hordes of warriors and a handful of trader-princes. Think you could slightly up the spawn chance for queens so my :steamsalty: salty :steamsalty: beta drones can see a "grill with bobs and vagene" for the first time in their lives?

I can go ahead and delve into the construction set to manually change the spawn chance but I'm sure others are of a similar opinion about their Hive variety
Trog 11 Jun, 2017 @ 9:48pm 
I have a discussion about this going right now, I can actually post a specific part of it here if you want
Sir Luis 25 May, 2017 @ 11:19am 
direalpha i like that idea. maybe the queen has a personal craft abliity to create an egg or multiple eggs when ever you have food you can choose to build an egg. after perhaps 300 hours the egg can hatch on its own.so the queen could lay dozens of eggs and send out the new borns to do the bidding of the hive.now this makes more sense because i see the hive as weak but strong in huge numbers like the zerg in starcraft.it would be so great if i could play a human and stumble into huge hives and then try to wipe their kind of the face of the earth with my kenshi marines!!!!!!!!.
Gizmo2113 8 May, 2017 @ 2:07pm 
Make the way of the ant and make it so she can pop out workers lol or the way of the bee and she can also start automatically building hives XD
Mowbymow  [author] 8 May, 2017 @ 12:00pm 
This mod enables the Hive Queen to be playable. The model itself is accessable in the Forgotten construction set, like Fishmen, mutants etc. Hopefully she will be added to the game in a future update. I also want to know more about her story and i think she looks awesome! Maybe the machine parts will be able to be added/removed and have a function when cybernetic limbs are implemented.
SonicBlackFox 7 May, 2017 @ 4:00pm 
why is the queen half machine?
Necro01 7 May, 2017 @ 2:01pm
