Biological Warfare

[blueeagle421.itch.io]



Biological Warfare aims to introduce a whole new type of deadly arsenal: biological weapons. They can be used in both defensive and offensive strategies, providing balanced firepower. Everything is presented in vanilla-style graphics and described with original lore.


Biological Warfare introduces two new machines, five buildings, over 30 new items, and three completely new production chains. It allows the player to turn sick colonists into weapons and a great advantage. Sickness will no longer be viewed as a negative event, but rather an opportunity to strengthen your colony.

I tried to make everything as balanced and vanilla friendly as possible. If you have some ideas how to improve that, please let me down in the comments.



































Biological weapons have a large damage radius but a relatively long time to kill. Classical explosions have a small blast radius but kill everyone around it instantly in most cases. That's why I believe the arsenal added by this mod is balanced and fair when compared to the vanilla game.

Additionally pathogen gas can only apply infection twice to a pawns before disappearing. So it can be deadly against smaller groups of pawns and at the same time won’t completely wipe out giant tribal raids for example.

Main damage factors are fully customizable in mod options. You can disable most of the infection damage or make it more powerful if you feel like it.



Here's a list of built-in integrations with other mods:

• Anomaly - adds necroa archovirus (that includes all weapons and antigens items related to it)
  
• Biotech - patches perfect immunity gene to work with necroa and developing scaria infections
  
• Vanilla Genetics Expanded - greater scaria is a samplable disease that yields regular scaria samples

Here's a list of less compatible mods:

• Tweaks Galore - gas missile launchers can't be configured like the rest of powered buildings, but there are no other issues

Q: Can enemies spawn with pathogen weapons?
A: Yes, rarely.

Q: Will you add more pathogen weapons for diseases?
A: Probably not. A bunch of weapons were added from the release of this mod and I feel like the arsenal is complete now. But if you have any more suggestions you can of course still leave them in the comments.

Q: Will you add more diseases to the game?
A: This mod never was intended to add new diseases. The only exception is the necroa archovirus.

Q: Why you can't sample mechanite diseases like sensory mechniates for example?
A: By the lore they can't be reproduced. I might consider adding something related with mechanites to this mod, but can't promise it.

Q: CE?
A: Yes, CE includes a patch for Biological Warfare.

Q: Can I add it mid-play to an existing save?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I remove it mid-play?
A: I wouldn't recommend it, but if you somehow manage to erase all the mod content from the save, it could work.

Q: Why do I need Vanilla Expanded Framework for it?
A: Biological Warfare operates on toxic gas system (OPToxic) from VEF.

Q: Is this mod part of Vanilla Expanded?
A: No, it's not.
