Description updated to include a quick half remembered list of stats they possess. This will be updated to be more accurate in due time, but that should be the most important things.

Is there a description of what this race does anywhere?

Fair enough! Yeah still testing, so I'll make sure I'm done before I send them then

@Sophie the Opossum
Very on/off since it's not my main game right now. If you have fixes produced, they could be rolled into this mod with appropriate crediting, of course. (Of course, tested before doing so)

I was looking at doing some more updates anyways, but more in one single patch would be better. Your call!

you still taking a break from rimworld dev? working on a fix, so if it'd be easiest, I could upload that as a separate mod when I'm done testing

We'll miss you but thank you for blessing us with this!! hopefully someone will update it to 1.6 in your stead.

This would be correct, to my knowledge. But this is an ancient mod, and I have to admit I had my fill of Rimworld. If it's still working, more power to you.

I'm sure someone else has done a better job than me by now, and that's fine.

Does this mod add two distinct species? I'm reviewing it and it appears there may be two separate types. I'm configuring alien weights and want to note this in case it's intentional and not a bug with alien weight pop mod.

cant wait to exterm-

I am running into the issue where the protogens are faceless, is there a fix for this or is this a unique issue?

why new faction won`t apear when you creating new colony? and only apearing in dev quicktest. this basically makes that only way to get a protogen pawn is starting scenario

As always, thanks for updating it!

Enjoy.

please make 1.5

The ProtogenPlayerColony is still always permanent enemy of The Fallen Empire still (which it isn't supposed to be)

I'll start looking into patching for 1.5 tomorrow, have to make sure stuff like HAR are fully updated wiki side.

The mod now no longer works correctly when using Edb Prepare Carefully. Saving and Loading chjaracters and presets when using any of the scenarios from this mod breaks

@Pvc pipe

Not inherently. I don't personally use CE whenever I boot this game to play. A patch may exist on the workshop without my knowledge already.

@Two Testes in a Trenchcoat

No clue off the top of my head, but I can double check if a recent update to the framework or game caused it on my end.


@everyone

Apologies for not being omnipresent, things came up in life, like christmas, ill family and more. Officially, I don't play Rimworld anywhere near as much as I used to, but I'll keep on fixing what I can about the mod and growing it.

Good luck and happy surviving, people.

Are the proots CE compatible?

Is there any known incompatibilities that might cause protogens to appear as headless pawns? They still have the protogen body, and strangely enough, the floating eyes, but no head.

My input is to, if it is even possible, to change some of the names of the body parts to where it would fit.
But I am happy is mod exist

@Arbiter a good way to add in the protogen race is by using EDB Prepare Carefully, since that allows you to spawn in any race from any mode.

i am so happy you made this tysm <3

how do i make new characters the protogen race?
is it only on the new mode?

Looking forward to more lore (like custom backstories and stuff).

@Florence "Bunsena" Burner

Well the problem is solved! Thanks!

are genes planned for this as well? Thanks!

Seems like it fixed it! Thanks for taking the time to look into it

T'was a simple patch it seems. Shout if it's still a problem.

Yeah, there's something missing. I'll spend some time trying to fix this bug. I'll re-read the files and get it updated asap.

Thank you for assisting in the search for the cause.

after uninstalling nearly every mod I had, I still had the issue, so may not be a conflict issue, the modlist when I took this screenshot is the second link

I was encountering the issue on a new game with fresh characters, so not sure about that old characters being an issue, unless that isn't what you meant.

I really don't know what might be causing incompatibilities if anything. If I have some time I will try and see

@Dr. Jennifer Dogna

Since more than one person is piping up about the same issue, I'll do some digging for it, is there any noteworthy mods that you theorise may affect this situation?

Any possible leads could help me find the culprit faster, if there is indeed an incompatibility somewhere.

My other theory is that the old characters don't have the required data to produce the colours correctly, but that's a whole can of worms to solve (as in, I don't see a real method to fix it if it's simply missing data.)

I am running into an issue similar to Tellurium with the newest version of the mod. The protogen's bodies were appearing white and did not seem to be using the colors the tail and head were using at all. using character editors couldn't change the color manually. Unfortunately I play with a lot of mods, so it may be a conflict with something, but maybe you can still look into it.

I had an older version of the mod as a local save and reverted to that, the old version was working correctly, though that version is months old.

@Tellurium

I did you the favour of a quick search online, and this might be what you need to fix it up.

@Tellurium
The mod updated recently to add colour masks to the head textures. These worked fine for me on loading an older save, so I am unsure where such an issue would arise.

There was code refactors included, so I apologise if this caused this. I do not know how you could fix this personally.

There may be a mod that allows you to customise a pawn's appearance, or it might be something in the debug controls, but I am uncertain.

My protogen's graphics are broken all of a sudden (one is partially white and another missing it's face), is it because the mod has updated recently or should I be worried about some other thing causing it?

Thank you for the update! Any chance we could get a Biotech xenotype version?

One thing you should add is the ability to turn people into protogens and if you already added that, then sorry for bothering you

Finally college is over. I'll see what I can do.

I do not have the latest DLC yet.

how come i dont get any protogen factions or pawns anymore in general? i have all dlc

Tbf protogens are a very advanced species with alot of technology in them at the start

@FunkyTown

Officially speaking there's no compatibility with biotech, as I haven't had the time to sit down and work on it.

(College course is bogging me down with a ton of work. The most recent patch I was working on disabled children, if I remember. Sincere apologies.)

But! I can take a look at getting some of the new patch out on the weekend. Exams are next week however.

just had a child protogen today on biotech and bros walking, talking, and capable of everything from birth, how do I fix this?

@fireborn

I'll have to double check with CE, not sure what could be the issue with that personally.

huh, seems that even though this mod works perfectly fine with ce the overlay for accuracy and ammo doesnt show up

@Foxxee

Right now some hard work is underway to get some new spicy things into the mod, bring the bar of quality further up.

I have not seen this specific issue in my own playtime, but it may be more recent. Hopefully a soon to come patch will aid the issue. Be wary of your own mod choices too!

I adore this mod so much! Although I'm not sure if this is a bug or something but all protogens now just have the human skin tone colors now over the wild colors before.

hey, no problem, I just like helping out
If you go to HAR discord, you can easily find me there, feel free to DM me
I have everything already done for a while, so I could just tell you the steps and send you the mask files
