Appreciate the good writing in this one.

Two minor critiques. (1) Might be helpful to change the description of the malus to hauling capacity to make it clear this is referring to the pawn's hauling capacity, not carrying capacity (which stays at 35). (2) 20 lbs hauling capacity penalty seems pretty strong. 10, maybe 15, seem a bit more appropriate.

Either way, thanks for the mod, looks like great work. I always appreciate good writing for the writey bits.

havent used the mod yet, but maybe make them have a chance to spawn in pirate factions? it would make sense for desert settlers to be pressed into a pirate gang after their farm was destroyed

Thank you!

Hey boss thanks for keeping the mod alive

thanks for the update! 👍

Gonna do 1.6 tonight if I can! Sorry :0

i need this for 1.6 <3

never let this mod die please!

cool little mod

awesome

This is so cool I'm glad that this got updated.

i never knew this would happen. i am so happy

1.5!

1.5

1.5?

Can you give them their own majority faction?

Loony-tune martian play through could work with these guys oddly.

aww yiss time to create a corrupt slave city

"Kenshi"? I just see Marvin the Martian with bad Mining.

@PremierVader Scorchlanders can eat raw meat though?

Get rid of strong stomach or robust digestion and replace with better manipulation. That my be cool. Also why is this mod so super popular on the forums lol

Now do one for the Holy Nation where they only have one gene called "Be a jerk to everyone", and that's me putting it nicely lol! Seriously though, cool mod, nice to see some Kenshi love!

i beg for hivers

I think you may be on to something. I'll consider this in the next update!

A custom gene that does the opposite of Near-Sighted would be even better than Dark Vision at properly adapting their improved sight, though it would likely also cost 2, and you'd have to account for that somewhere. Good Shooting is also an ok alternative for the same total cost as Dark Vision.

robust digestion and strong stomach seems a bit much. That's more of what a low-born hiver would have. Basically 1 or the other would be fine, but both is a bit much. And they're missing a lot of other qualities sorchlanders have.

Basically: Strong Stomach, Dark Vision, Fast Movement, Fast Healing, Strong crafting, awful mining, awful plants, awful cooking, delicate. Which is enough for a +1 meta while accounting for all in-game Scorch qualities.

If you include the reduced carry weight gene, you could swap Strong Stomach for Robust Digestion and still have a +1 meta (for the reduced hunger rate).

keep in mind, compared to normal humans scorchlanders: Move Faster, Eat less, heal faster, bleed less, and have slightly stronger stomachs. As well as having the best vision of any race.

does anyone know of a way to make this xeno noot use facial animations. It breaks all their cool external features but i play on a desert planet and i looove these guys. Trying to get them to look right if anyone else has any tips. Not using facial animations i know would work but im sure others are having this issue

I would make a shek xenotype but Vex, author of Rim-Shek is working on a xenotype version of that mod so I wouldn't want to step on his toes or anything

second the comment for shek, would be sweet if you made them for biotech, also hivers if you're able to. I used to play with the HAR kenshi races and it feels pretty much essential to have my shek warriors lol

Hey man great mod cant wait to see your Shek xenotype mod if you plan on making it!

ahh cuz update and i use facial animations

the genes and black skin are not appearing?

So you're telling me I can now recreate my Kenshi team in Rimworld, a team that was named after characters from that one save from Rimworld? Just need to find the right map... Awesome mod :)

strong melee should be a trait for these guys. and i think you only need 1 digestion trait

@Narlindir as a fun fact from a modder they are also the hardest to take down out of any race. (their right arm has a lower chance of being hit compared to every other race that have the same values) so these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gonna keep fighting till they die cuz losing an arm isnt an option

guess ~400h Kenshi wasnt enough for me to discover that lolol

@Narlindir They can eat raw meat, but I just decided to expand it to raw everything because it's better for Rimworld

KENSHI V I B E S

TIL Scorchlanders can eat raw food in Kenshi?

CRAB RAIDERS 4 LYFE!

Kenshi is a great game and good to see in form of mods existing in other games too. This race is very capable.

Very cool to be getting some Kenshi related mods.

I'm loving the near limitless possibilities of character customization that Biotech has opened up

history of slave holy nation begin....

more kenshi :'(

BIOTECH and modded genes are gonna be great for making visually distinct classes of different sorts of supersoldiers I plan on making. The scorchlanders look amazing, thanks for the mod!

I love my tiny white haired shadows in Kenshi, always loved the contrast of colours.

I'm not sure where you guys are getting the kenshi vibes from

Kenshi vibes

Is this what they call Kenshi vibes?
