is there a guide for installing mods this way?

Download zip & unpack it then place it in steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\

Hey there :)

I think there is a Bug or a simple Error about one of the Thrumbonians Genes in Biotech.

The Gene "Thrumbonian Fury" currently gives a Metabolic Efficency of +3, meaning when i install it my Setterls Hunger Rate goes DOWN.

I assume that, since it is a strong Buff, it is supposed to be Metabolic Efficency -3, meaning that when i install it the Hunger Rate should go UP.

Not sure if this is intended or a Bug. But because it is a really strong Buff and does not seem to have any serious draw backs it seems unlogical to me that it should be treated as a weakness in the Biotech Gene Assemlber, so i thought i report it and see if it is intended or a bug :)

Forming a caravan I included a couple of thrumbos (animals). Both of them turned into pink squares[postimg.cc] and an error popped up:

Removing other mods does not help. But removing this mod solves the problem.

I ran into an issue where my Thrumboian babies didn't age. Maybe it also affected the adult, I don't know, as I never pay attention to their age, but I noticd that my babies were stuck at age 0 hours. I spawned in other babies to check if it just affted Thrumboians, and that was indeed the case, others (like the faun xenotype), did age. I also removed all other mods afterwards and started a new save with just the Thrumboians, and still ran into the same issue.
This here is the error code that I get as soon as I start the game:

No Thrumboian families and dynasties for me, *sob sob*. They're such a beautiful design

Edit: The bug appears to be caused by the "Thrumboian fury" gene. In a subsequent playthrough, I implanted the thrumboian fury into a colonist, as it reduces metabolism cost by 3. Her child inherited it and then didn't age. So, I used a console command to remove the gene, and then it started aging. So somehow, that gene causes babies to stop aging. I don't know if it also affects adults, but babies don't grow up if they have the thrumboian fury gene.

This is what I get at start up playing on 1.5 obviously it's not updated but maybe you need to know what you need to fix to update it?
