Gerzee Race

Adds a strong but timid primitive race with a unique body structure. Not bothered by many things that would bother a human and enjoys communal living. Great at nature-based labor and often no knowledge of combat, but have the speed and physique to be trained into walking tanks. Often brutal backstories, considering how they end up on rimworlds via slavery. All original content.

The aim here is to add a race that helps space feel like its filled with a wide range of unique species.


---"One of the more unique and completely grimdark takes on an alien race mod I've seen."

---"Love 'em, especially when they obviously came from a rough background and I get to take care of the lovable brutes."

• Big, fast, strong immune system, can't get food poisoning, suited for cold environments.
  
• Positive mood buffs for barracks, tight spaces, and for colonists "disturbing" their sleep.
  
• No negative mood for eating raw food, without a table, or sleeping in the cold.
  
• Can eat wild grass, dandelions, hay, and other plants. Cannot eat meat or cooked meals.
  
• Right-click grass to force eat it off the ground.
  
• Can only use "big" weapons (like a minigun, ikwa, sword, greatbow, and rocket launchers).
  
• Can only fit outer-layer and some mid-layer clothing.
  
• Worth a lot of money when being sold as a slave.
  
• Fast base-speed (130%) for natural tasks, such as taming animals, mining, smoothing.
  
• Short lifespans (18 years and become adults at 4).

Expansion for the Gerzee Race. Currently includes a plant that can be grown in below-freezing temperatures, Gerzee meals that can be quickly made on a crafting spot, a powerful battering ram for those with Gerzee-like strength, a simple Gerzee helmet, and a full Gerzee power armor set. Coming soon: new starting scenario and additional faction.


Graze Up: Lets Gerzee eat grass right off the ground.


-Updated for Biotech compatibility. Adult lifestage changed to 4 due to some coding requirements of the DLC.
-Removed speed debuff for research and doctoring.

• Combat Extended Patch (CE) is built-in.
  
• See discussion thread for rest of list.

-The Free Gerzee: Peaceful tribe of ex-slaves just trying to get by.
-The Gerzee Wrathful: Violent tribe of escaped slaves who have mentally snapped from years of slavery and are now very willing to harm, well, pretty much everyone. Unlike most Gerzee, they're great at combat. Spoiler: There is also a fairly unique and powerful pawn-type in this kind of group.

Thanks to Zylle for letting me use their code to give Gerzee immunity to food poisoning.
Thanks to Gouda Quiche for making a much nicer cover photo for the mod.

-Continuing to add weapons that the Gerzee can use from other mods (please suggest mods / weapons in the suggestions thread!)
-[Hope] Make it so Gerzee can eat some meat / cooked foods for emergency nutrition, but get sick for doing so.
