Rim-Fogmen! a Rim-Kenshi add-on pack [Deprecated/Pending]

Description
Rim-Kenshi: Addon Pack
is a pack based adding various additions, features, and tweaks to Vex's Rim-Kenshi series that aims to add a bit more Kenshi to your RimWorld.

Changelog:
1.2.1 - Fix for Fog Sickness randomly appearing on people during stress (maybe)
Hotfix cause I broke babies
1.2.0 - File Restructure C# integration

GENERAL
This mod pack is aimed at adding general Kenshi bloat to Vex Tree's Rim-Kenshi Series that wouldn't otherwise fit in the main mods. The three origin mods are each lightweight enough and ready to go right out of the package and I don't want that to change but I also would like a few more caveats from Kensh.

Rim-Kenshi Lore
[insert adaptions from kenshi to fit rimworld]
Intended max Fogmen settlements is four: Civil, Savage, Fog, Player. This should only be done if roleplaying with all Hiver factions turned off as all Hive Queens are dead.

Fogmen
The Fogmen are a savage group of Hivers that live within Kenshi's Fog Islands. They are thought to be controlled by a brain affecting parasite, but the details are unknown. Fogmen are barely capable fighters, throwing themselves on you biting and scraping and are individually very fragile. What they lack in personal strength they make up for in numbers, even a group of the most skilled warriors can be overcome by their masses. Any victims they are able to down and not outright kill are captured and then offered up to their respective Fog Princes in a ritualistic feast.

Special Incident: Fogmen Horde
A cross between a Vanilla Manhunter pack and a Slaver Raid from VFE: Vikings. They'll appear in mass and attempt to eat or kidnap your colonists. Unlike other humanoids they are only interested in your flesh and shouldn't steal or attempt to raise your colony.
Warning: Fogmen behave differently than other enemies and will not stop attacking when your pawn is down.

In Progress:
Beep Quest: Beep
Fog Backstories- Now that their behavior is closer to how it should be I'll go through and update and slim these down

Skeletons: Faction replacement of Ancients.
Stranger in Black Replacement

Future Plans:
Holy Nation Faction (Medieval?)
Ideology: Seasonal Extol Vitues Event
United Cities Faction (Industrial?)
More Fogmen Incidents, a random pass through, settlement stuffs

SUPPORT
Q: Do you plan to stick around this time?
A: No. I come and go in games and I just don't have the mental faculty currently, brain tumor, to actually keep up with mods while I'm not actively playing the game. For anyone wanting to take over feel free, my "code" is free ot copy and use.

FAQ
Q: But does it all work?
A: Probably not!

Q: Can I play as the fogmen? or recruit them?
A: Currently no. You might be able to get the game to let you recruit them but they'll be useless.
They have lowered construction and mining skills, and a permanent mental state that blocks social interactions.

Q: Fog sickness appeared on something other than a fogman what do I do?
A: Kill it, it's lost to you. But seriously, let me know if Fog Sickness appears on anyone as it shouldn't.

Q: Is this mod complete?
A: Nope.

Q: Save game compatible?
A: Just play it safe and say no.

Q: Is this CE compatible?
A: Zambie waves. But really dude, I don't even know.

hey folks! i've recently finished a 1.5 update for this mod; but since the mod is so big and Hohen worked so darn hard on it i want to wait for their approval before i push the mod to the workshop. hope he responds soon! :beeped:

I hope you decide to come back to this and bring it back to 1.5! I love the Hivers so dearly in Kenshi, and the Fogmen being absent from your Rim-Hivers mod seems like a terribly lost opportunity to have a second raiding faction to go against :D

@Vex, @Hohen, Is there any plans for continuation of this mod in the future? If not - can this mod be adopted by another author?
