Nice, I'll look forward to a run with the Crystalloids once more in the future.

@starempire42
A version? No.
Integration? Yes, planned.

HAR allows me to do more exciting things with Crystalloids rather than just making them a xenotype, and uprooting everything made before to utilize genes instead would of required so so so many changes.

I've previously made a bunch of genes and functionality for biotech for Crystalloids when Biotech came out, but it never came to be in a state that I really wanted. Some level of this still exists in the old code for 1.4.

HAR's compatibility with genes have gotten better since I last developed the mod, and I plan to still use HAR. I plan to come back to making xenotypes for Crystalloids (Shifting valkyries and maybe the Ekkrian Crystalloids to them, possibly new ones too!), as well as 'baseline' genes that you can take and use for editing.

@AtomicRavioli not sure if somebody asked you this but do you think you will make a biotech version of this mod (or integrate it into biotech?)

That's awesome news! Thank you so much @AtomicRavioli, appreciated

Huzza!

yesssssss!

Hey everyone, I'm working on a complete overhaul of the mod for 1.6!



Just to name a couple of the changes coming to the mod, its probably about ~15% ready as it stands:



Complete lore changes across the board...

Crysteel made objects ('Stuffable' buildings and items) will slowly regenerate now and will fit a different niche than the one Bioferrite kinda took over.

Psionic weapons are now -> Psibolt weapons that fire psychically contained plasma. They also deal more damage if a pawn has psychic sensitivity over 100%!

Currently working on a 'portal' feature that will send your pawns to extra-dimensional POIs for progression loot. Think dungeons.

man this mod has been fucked by game updates so much

I miss this sometimes bros

Its been over 2 years since this mods last update. Don't Unless someone is gonna fork this is... pretty dead in the water.

1.6!

Будет обновление на версию 1.5?

This looks like a very neat race. Please provide 1.5 update!

It woul dbe awesome to have an update.

love this mode! any news for a 1.5 update?

is therer a reason a psylink nuroformer wont work on one of these in my colony . and if so is there a diffrent way to give them psychic powers ?

ONE OF THE BETTER FACTION TYPES

There is no Github link. I wonder if this mod is lost forever.

Since it hasn't quite been a year yet since this has been updated, I'll keep some hope that we might get a 1.5 update. But it feels like this might need to be necrod

Long time user of this mod, just wanna say I appreciate y'all!

great mod, any news for a 1.5 update?

from what i heard pawn rendering got overhauled in base game so anything related to it will take awhile to update. I will be waiting patiently for it, for sure. Just want some news from the creator.

Is it intended that all the natural crystal spawns on the map convert into raw crystal upon being mined?

I know it's a staple dumb question, but is it CE compatible? Your mod seems great and I wanted to add it to my gameplay.

To quote the answer below: Nope, HAR has much much more features than Biotech”

Probably asked before, but any plans to make this non-standalone and integrated with biotech?

So, there's an incompatibility with this mod and Vanilla Factions Expanded: Ancients. It seems that they patch BasePawn to put in the Powers tab in the inspector. Since Crystalloids use CrystalBasePawn instead, they don't get the Powers tab, and so you can't see their abilities if you try to give them superpowers using the VFAE tech. The fix for this is to patch the VFAE ITab def and change the line that reads "<xpath>Defs/ThingDef[@Name="BasePawn"]/inspectorTabs</xpath>" to <xpath>Defs/ThingDef[@Name="BasePawn" or "CrystalBasePawn"]/inspectorTabs</xpath> instead.

It seems this mod conflicts with the VE Psycasts mod. With the Crystalloid race active, when you cast the Resurrect psycast from the Necropath psycast tree, instead of losing a finger the pawn casting it loses their life. It kills the caster, Crystalloid or human.

Removing this mod fixes the problem. I also left this in the HAR discord on the off chance you see that first.

is it possible to prohibit psy-crystal power for all those who do not have the attunement trait if you usethe mod vanilla psycast expanted ? It still seems weird to me to be able to use crystalloid powers as a normal human or any other race.

those guns look super cool

Mod looks awesome, but got curious is there any way for the Ekrian Collective to be an ally? They seen to be aways hostile but cause i have seen that some of the raiders from this factions have kinda like royalty ranks i got curious. Anyway nice work my frendo have an awesome week

Based

:(

Nope, HAR has much much more features than Biotech

Any chance for a Biotech-based version instead of HAR?

seems for some reason when you install bionic eyes on them hey have a part of it appear on the other side of the face

How are you looting psylinks from raiders? I am curious? Mod-interaction?

i just wanna point out that i'm having a quest that sends me ~70 crystalloid raiders and it seems i'm gonna end up looting ~33 new psylinks. that's simply gamebreaking.

you should declare this upload an open alpha test :/

Hi. This is a small gripe, but when crystall pawns first appear they always wear their jumpsuits that only cover the top half of the body and they have the naked feel. Just feels weird that the jumpsuit doesn't cover legs like that of EVA corporation. But if not, no problem because they always get changed to something better when they join.

Is there some magical way to draw "Ichor" from one Crystalloid pawn and implant it into another to deal with blood loss?

My favorite race mod is back, hell yeah. (Also I found this by accident because I remembered out of nostalgia, it's weird that it's not between the "populars" here in the Steam workshop)

How do panel wall handle the termites thump cannon?

Awesome!!

Yes! It's back!

Holy shit !! They are back to the game !! THANK YOU

Found a glitch i wanted to point out the race seems to have a issue with blood as I had a crystalloid bleed for a bit an never seem to stop bleeding till death or injected hemogen into them. Anyone else seem to have that issue?

I don't see "crystalloid" as an option when selecting races via character editor. I've got a biolithic pawn that I made the psylink neuromutare for who can't use it because no crystalline brain.

Is there a way to change its race to crystalloid?

I remember playing a run or two with these guys around Rimworld 1.1, just after Royalty dropped. Good stuff, I'll be adding them to my next run when I do HAR stuff again.

I tried adding this to a game in progress, but the crystalloids aren't hostile. Do I have to add these guys to a new game? Thanks!

Saw this on reddit. Ran right here to download!

I agree with Master Lorian. I would absolutely loveeee xenotypes so I can roleplay custom(Gene) Cravers from the Endless space franchise. But this mod regardless is a pretty great addition.

Hmm so semi-compatible with biotech. I kinda understand the decision not to change the crystalloids into xenotypes, since it would be hell to remake them + they would depend on biotech, but i have to admit it would be pretty awesome. That said, it's still a great mod.
