4th Update plans (huuuge)
Completed Additions/Changes

  • Added custom names for Illan fey and their xenotypes
  • Introduced Ancient Illan xenotype
  • Introduced Awakened Simulacrum xenotype
  • Implemented custom settlement namer
  • Van Illan settlements now favor cold biomes
  • Added Van Illan-specific backstories


New Genes
  • Frozen Attunement: Reduces sleep need and enhances psychic abilities in subzero temperatures
  • Ancient Attunement: A stronger version of Frozen Attunement
  • Ancient Grace: Prevents violent mental breaks and increases social impact
  • Simulacrum Commander: Grants access to the Simulacrum Command ability, which can be used to turn simulacra neutral or allied.


WIP

  • Quest maps, accessed via the Explorer’s Table
  • Remove Illan longsword and sidesword; integrate them into the Frost Fey style
  • Frost Fey style variants for selected MO and vanilla equipment
  • Rebalance rimed weapons to better account for heat armor
  • Add custom psycasts
  • Redesign pawntypes


Planned Mechanics

  • Use the Explorer’s Table to locate ancient Illan ruins, defended by the Illan Remnant, designed to present a challenge even to late game MO.
  • Discover ancient Illan keeps with Ancient Illans in cryptosleep, recruit them or steal their gear
  • Uncover the lost city of Illa, guarded by an army of simulacra and containing centuries of treasure.
  • Face the last Duelist of the Rime Court, a powerful and recruitable Ancient Illan prepared to take on an entire army alone


New Loot
  • Illan Manuscripts: Unlock the aforementioned custom psycasts themed around recitation and performance.
  • Simulacra Soul: A medicine that turns a simulacrum into an Awakened Simulacrum, a much less violent yet more fragile simulacrum that has regained its skills. Makes a good worker but a terrible fighter.


After 1.6 is Done
  • Release standalone Illan Fey xenotype mod
  • Release standalone Frost Fey style
