FAQ

Q0 : Is this compatible with Comba-
A0 : Scroll back to the first section, fartner.

Q1 : Is this mod safe to add and remove mid-game?
A1 : Sure do! But I don't recommend removing it mid-game, maybe with the right tools you could!

Q2 : Will this mod support the previous version of the game like 1.4?
A2 : Unfortunately no, 1.5 rendering changes made it possible to achieve the visualization we currently have.

Q3 : Where do you find the Novakin, do they also spawn in the vanilla faction?
A3 : You can find them with the intro quest and they are also commonly found in Pirate faction (Base, Cannibal, Waster) and occasionally in Outlander faction, there's integration patches for other mods that added related factions listed in the Compatibility section!

Q4 : Does the xenotype actually glows, is it performance friendly?
A4 : It's only a visual glow, they did not affect surrounding light at all so the mod did perform quite well.

Q5 : Why is it so overpowered and overcomplicated?
A5 : I tried my best to balance and simplify it, give me feedback regarding those so I can improve in the future!

Q6 : Will you add compatibility towards other mods?
Q6 : Sure, let me know which mod that require cross compatibility by posting in Feedbacks Discussion!

Q7 : Are you planning to add more similar mods, what mod could it be?
A7 : Of course, this mod is the first step towards series mods. W-who knowss, I think you sssshould ask some plantsss around what it could be?

@Sparker that one pic never meant to be taken seriously, you may already seen the one gentleman with familiar sombrero before Introduction section :steamhappy:
Sparker 3 Jan @ 12:30pm 
The last pic with the CE logo on it has the word "Incompatible" written under it instead of compatible
Airo  [author] 2 Jan @ 2:49am 
@CodyProductions good finding, I'll make sure to fix those issues alongside the new major update.
CodyProductions 2 Jan @ 2:00am 
Ok looking into it further it's done through the "randomChosen" variable, problem.... I think it's supposed to be set to true in the genedef files...


"<defName>RB_Facial_Brands</defName>
<label>facial brands</label>
<labelShortAdj>face brand</labelShortAdj>
<description>Carriers of this gene have a metallic brand-like symbol on their face. Depending on the symbol that decides their personality, one excels in a particular skill or condition.</description>
<customEffectDescriptions>
<li>This gene will add random facial brand upon addition, useful for player custom xenotype.</li>

I mean I didn't really have any other way to describe it, not sure if it's the actual term for the mechanic(?).

But with certain genes if you select multiple genes (mostly cosmetic genes, occasionally some gene mods have actual genes that do the same thing), they are chosen randomly from the selection like with the plasma colors. I do not know *how* exactly the game determines this and I might do some quick research on it because god only knows I only barely know what I'm talking about but I'm pretty sure there's a way to do so.
Airo  [author] 2 Jan @ 12:44am 
@CodyProductions does mutually inclusive means that it will be randomly selected every time novakin is born? If so the next update will introduce new inheritance system utilizing the Core module, which allows them to inherit their parent's xenotype genes so the offspring's brands and plasma color will be random :steamhappy:
CodyProductions 1 Jan @ 10:17pm 
The one thing I'd suggest is to make the brands mutually inclusive so that they could be randomly chosen, if possible.

Time to mix it with Helixan Slugs

Attention!

This mod will receive an update soon following the release of a Core module for Rimbound, a dependancy requirement will be adjusted since this mod assembly will be moved to the Core module.

That's all, Happy Rimyear folks!

The best part of the mod I know and probably every Starbound fan would know are: Snuggets.

These magnificent creatures asexually reproduce as you would later sell them to various faction settlements for profit unless you might build more houses with animal beds... or build barns to keep them safe from predators.

"These chemfuelled gas creatures are wholesome as you would end up makin' big n' great profit out of that with orbital traders n' faction settlements or keep some of them small, then start sellin' them big, pardner." - An Novakin from a Central European country, Poland.
