Veil Hive

Description
"Attention Traveler! Thanks to our tech hunters’ perilous expeditions into the unknown, we at the University of Machinist have made an astonishing discovery: the discovery of a new Hive!

Referred to internally as the "Veil Hive" among us academicians, this new hive is a reclusive hive said to be endemic of the Burning Forests of the Southern Continent. Their most notable feature is their brightly coloured skin, thought to be an example of warning colouration. Despite the bright colours they are incredibly illusive, having rarely if ever been seen, with eyewitness accounts being so few and far between that most drifters believe them to be nothing more than a children’s ghost story."


Adds a new hive race, the Veil Hive, to kenshi. Includes:

- Veil Hive Prince
- Veil Hive Soldier Drone
- Veil Hive Worker Drone
- Veil Hive Queen
- Edited shirts to accommodate new hive hive race specific restrictions
- New game start involving lots of... frogs?


NOTE: - NOT ADDED TO WORLD SPAWNS! They are only added as a starter race, along with a lighthearted game start.
- Because they are a new race, you will need to make your own animation patch if you want them to use modded animations (@𐌱𐌿𐍃𐍃𐍉𐌽 and @Anrhaa have made animation patches, linked in the comments. Go check out their workshop pages as well!)

- The Queen texture, especially the head, is kinda ♥♥♥♥, so I might redo them later (the base game queen UVs are kinds wack). But for now, it's "good enough"


Feel free to use in your own mods! I don’t care


Also note the armour in the screenshots is not included in this mod. This is just a standalone release of the Veil Hive race. I’m working on a much larger mod project that expands the Veil Hive into a minor faction, along with a bunch of other changes and edits focused in the South, so stay tuned! A WIP release should hopefully be ready soon.

Enjoy!

Has veil hive been made into the world with its own faction? i love having many different hiver races. Ive got Dark Primordial Azure Pearl the UWE hives. Idk what im missing dunno if i want the blue man hive or beetle the others i have seen are only character start. Would love to see this in the world and its own faction as well as preatorians!

Hey,

I just wanted to let you know that I created an add-on that allows the Veil Hive to be in the world. (With it's own Faction and all).

I made it public so others could have recruitable veil hivers. This is all temporary until you release your Veil World Expansion.

I really admire your work. I think the Veil Hive was an excellent addition to the game, and I find that it still has a vanilla feel to it, which is a big factor for me. I can't wait for your official release of the Veil into the world of Kenshi, keep up the good work!

Are you going to add Viel hive Preatorians?

After reading through I'm definitely staying tuned for more! I'd love to use this mod, but the lack of unique recruits on their own without having to rely on *another* mod that adds them (and converts my poor boy Green) kind of makes an entirely new hive less exciting for me D: but I love their look a ton!

@whyareyouhere? I made a patch like this for another hive mod a long time ago, don't know if it still work, but you can freely look into it in the FCS if you want to see how I did it

@whyareyouhere? pretty sure that is a dialog flag thing. unfortunately that's a part of the FCS that i dont have as much familiarity with. There are a couple FCS dialog guides here on Steam, as well as the wiki. There is also a "Using the FCS" pdf in your Kenshi game folder (..steamapps/common/kenshi) if you like reading. hope that helps!
why are you here? 31 Jul, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
Hey, really dig the mod. I was wondering if you knew of a way I could make it so npcs refer to you as a hiver as opposed to just an outsider though.

Awesome thank you!

Here it is, also has some Beep dialogue with the Veil Hivers added
