There is a new mod being developped that will allow playing as xenomorphs and extend considerably their behavior and features as antagonists also. You can know more if you join the discord I linked at the top of the mod description :)

Imagine if you could make a hive of these and have them on your side like insectoids expanded and whatnot. Live solely on graveships, would make a terrifying playthrough.

I will update this mod for 1.6 but it will be replaced by @Nighzmarquls new Xenomorph mod that should release around october. You will also be able to play as Xenomorph with his mod so I can focus on USCM

can we get the k series xenomorphs aswell?

Too bad they don't drop at least some sort of armor or crafting material on butchering

nevermind just had a hit the other day so very glad i had walls and a murder tunnel definately had a butt hole pucker moment there. it seems randy was just waiting until i had some uscm gear before he poured on the rain

It's possible as they can weigh a bit. Do you have other mods? Especially mods that affect faction HQ location and raids ?

never seen xeno's in any of my games was wondering if they were bugged or something turned on dev mode in factions and yea they are there does randy just not use them?

im an artist, that mod is very complex, im not good at xml and have no clue of c#. there are probably reasons nobody updated it yet, sry

I am only maintaining this mod as of now. Maybe @CrackaJack ?

Would it be possible for you to take over the old AvP mod? its a shame that so much work ant artwork is abbandoned

can i play as a xenomorph

Do these guys leap at you as well? If not, that would be amazing to add

Yes sure. If you have faction discovery, the faction should spawn without problem

can i add this to a fame mid save

@Hiztaar No more loops! Thanks for the fix my guy

Hi @ReachRound Thanks for the report. I have pushed a fix. I don't see the error but I think I know where it might have come from. Can you please try and tell me if it works better now ?

Honestly I don't really understand error logs and won't pretend to. To me it looks like animals not on the map were being given orders to roam. For whatever reason removing this mod fixed the error which was bringing the game speed down to 3fps.

Some sort of conflict?

What do you mean about that? This mod does not affect animals or trade ships

Animals on trade ships get stuck in infinite loops

As @CrackaJack says, this mod is a stand alone simple addition of a xeno faction which behave generally like mechanoids. It fits with my others USCM mods. AvP is indeed a huge mod, very different, very heavy on gameplay changes while mine has a low impact on the overall gameplay loop of the game.

@Gebibaboy: no facehuggers, no implantation, no predators, no eggs, no acid blood, no sneaky events, very different textures. aliens vs predator is a huge, insane, awesome mod chock full of c# code, which will break your game cause it got updated by 20 different people over the years.

How does this differ from the Alien vs. Predator mod?

no

can you become the Aliens? in this mod?

@CrackaJack yes, Vanilla looks better than these tho.

thanks :) ok i´ll stay with this style then

It looks awesome man O_O

any opinions on this? not sure if i should leave the mouth, and if i should try to color them more vanilla like..? https://ibb.co/42Myy1z

yeah, like rats but stronger :P

Hmm, yes if you want to add them. I can make chestbusters super fast but super weak

i do it for free of course, the thing itself is worth it to me.
do you want little chestbursters for swarming, and warriors too? maybe kings?

If you want to remake them, I agree. I actually paid an artist for it. I have no skill whatsoever in 2D. I made the armor and weapon models but it took me literally forever at that time. Xenos were just out of my league and still are :D

and so you know what im talking about: https://ibb.co/Yymhw6s
(sry development on that mod is kinda paused :D)
its not exactly vanilla like, and has legs too, also its more xenomorph inspired then actual xenomorph. but look at the metallic shine, and shading. you can make that looking vanilla like.
hey, if you want i´ll redraw your xenos and you vanillarize them later? might take a while tho

hmm, i guess what the impolite critic meant is they are kinda lacking in detail and too angular, also vanilla graphics never have arms or legs. they should be smooth and shiny. avp xenos look more "vanilla", what i like about your xenos tho, is theyre actually black. i just checked your workshop, i believe you can do much better. you dont lack skill, you were lazy^^

You mean they look like vanilla ? Vanilla designs are as simple as it gets. Those xenos do to.

they look shit.

another gem i find years too late

It is the coded behavior of Rimworld.

Why do the xenomorphs smash up objects completely at random instead of trying to hunt organic beings?

maybe to be able to play as the xenos?

If someone feels motivated and skilled enough to add content, I'll be more than happy to give admin rights to update the mod. It is not AvP tho as there is already a mod for that. This one tries to be as close from original Alien materials before it turned into a hollywood cow milk, as possible

Uf you're considering more, cosider looking at AVP:Extinction

Queen can lay eggs?

It would require advanced coding and I do not have the skills for it :(

can I play as xenomorphs too? Can you maby make facehuggers?

As soon as I saw that there was gene for "acid spit" I knew that someone would be creating this faction any minute.

Nonono, not ingame. Here in steam on pictures. They are look like black silhouettes.
