more broken things discovered:
fertilized saurid eggs on caravans will be fed to meat-eating animals and it can't be prevented.

make them something completely inedible pls, explain it with a hard shell.

@Ano I remember seeing either snowfox's tweaks mod or tweaks galore giving an option for that.

is there a way to get rid of egg fatigue, doing a hive playthrough

adding a husband did not fix the siblingship, they are still spawned as half-sisters and all female saurid mothers.
pretty sure this would work out if the baserace was still "human" and only the genes saurid ones, like it is with all those xeno races.

as of now, the scenario is broken as a scenario and should either be deleted or repaired.

the frilled ears (+ the fishy other ears from VRE) look very estranging in rear view, they just seem to come out of the rearside of the helmet and not where they'd belong. is there a chance you could put them a laye below the headgear, so that i'd just look as if they'd come out of the mid of the headgear...?

btw i've restarted the saurid mother scenario, the psychopathy-bug is history now. curious rn if it fixes the siblingship to have set a saurid pawn as husband that got left behind (tho reuinioned before hatching)

Thanks Sarg :)

Does the oviparous gene prevent doing the "extract ovum for IVF" surgery? It seems to not let me force my doctor to do the surgery, and the surgery disappears from the surgery bill tab a few seconds after I click off the pawn. It MAY also have to do with said pawn only having 0.98% fertility, but I feel like that's what's that surgery is for, no?

You have an ideo that blocks hair types

my saurids don't have those cool center frills, they are always bald

A cradle for eggs would be really nice. Specifically one that protects it from outside stuff. (For example, your colony's cat trying to eat it!)

i'd highly recommend to fix the social relationships in the saurid mother scenario.
the 4 hatchlings ain't siblings, all are just half-sisters, so as if milady get impregnated by 4 different guys at the very same moment; this doesn't suit the scenario-text at all.

trying to fix that with character editor isn't really possible because there are barely any saurid pawns existing in the world before encountering them - and if i encounter them, they are alive (and female).

i may be a bit spoiled by your usual work, but this seems not very thought through...?

playing the saurid mother scenario:
the game keeps adding the psychopath trait to my saurid mother.
the 4 hatchlings are saurid mothers too.
i only encounter other female saurids, nonmothers at least but no males either.

Would anyone know why I am unable to name a hatchling? When a human egg hatches the option to name it is grayed out. They all begin with the name "Baby."

It's random

Does anyone else have a "bug" where every single saurid that hatches is a female? Or do i need to hold the egg on a certain temperature to get a male?

Oooooooh, I'm so sorry, they now get pregnant WITH AN EGG and just lay it after a few days!

On 1.6 Saurdis don't lay eggs, they get pregnant like baseliners.

Is fertilization surgery not available for them? When I perform an extraction operation, it just disappears after a couple of seconds. At the same time, the colonists do not want to reproduce naturally, the fertility of both is not zero, but they simply refuse intimacy. Maybe the problem is that the man is 77 years old and the woman is 32, but they are already married.

I'm sure it's been asked before, but I don't want to dig through 12 pages.. Are saurid claws intended to count as weapons for slave rebellion calculations?

scale skin gene conflicts with head genes in strange ways. Sometimes overriding them or sometimes applying with them

Just hatched my first egg and it ends up named "Baby Astarte". The last name has nothing to do with the parents.

I just wish i could keep them in the game but stop them being the default when people join my colony via TTK, i can disable every other race but these things don't show up

I would have gotten this mod a LOT sooner if I'd known they make the Jurassic Park raptor sounds

maaan Saurid Mother is such a brutal start thanks solely to the sheer amount of time it takes to feed a baby

The problem with Steam is that they are a complete monopoly. They have no incentive to improve things, so they just don't. People have asked for better contributor controls for a decade now, and they just don't care

also wish they'd allow for comment editing instead of having to select comment, delete it, then re-post it without typos lol

steam really needs to update workshop/contributor system huh i see that a lot where users in the "created by" section say they can't do what they want to fix the mod/change descriptions and whatnot either way thanks for all you do for RW modding :)

Unfortunately I'm not a contributor of this mod on Steam so I can't change it, and Oskar is always busier... You can see it all on GitHub though, it was a pull request with egglaying fixes

heh "change log" see change notes -> goes to change note "Auto-Generated Text" ah yes very informative jk i know you probably work your ass off on all the VanExp mods and i thank you for all your hard work

@Pambeldore Its just random chance. Try installing the gene extractor tiers mod which allows you to choose which gene to extract. Only archo-genes are unextractable. Your chance of getting it is like 1/20 if the genes shown in the infographic are accurate.

Question: I try for a few years now with 3 saurids to extract the cold blooded gene. I know, that the outcome is random, but is it perhaps not even possible?

Hmmm... Does anyone else have a "bug" where every single saurid that hatches is a female? I've had over 30 kids over 3 playthroughs and none of them was male.

Love this race! Is there any way to get a female saurid pregnant if they don't have a partner? As I found researching Fertility Procedures and trying to use the procedure on them won't work, since they lay eggs. The ova/embryo method doesn't work (yet?).

@Ravinglegend Ohh okay thanks!

Hatched baby saurids names are still bugged.

@NobodyNeuOnyx Yeah, that's even what they are called in the infographics. In rimworld lore saurids are still humans, just genetically modified humans.

Uh, the saurid mother scenario, are the saurid eggs she starts with supposed to say 'human' eggs?

Are Saurids supposed to be stronger than most other factions as raiders? They have high tech and high threat for their raid point, plus their melee is better than even neanderthals.

@Kenpachi I made a mod called "Warmblooded Saurids" which removes the coldblooded gene from saurids and gives them heat resistance and cold weakness instead. You can use the mod to hopefully make them behave like normal caravans though it will only affect newly spawned pawns.

@Alchemist Fuer is that an issue with this mod? That sounds like a normal game bug. You shouldn't report those here. If you want to find out what's wrong, go into devmode and look at the log by pressing "~" or it might be tab if the game doesn't already open up the log upon entering devmode. Then scroll down and look if there is an error and report it to either the rimworld discord or to the mod page of the mod causing the issue.

I have a problem, one of my settlers collided with another in my hospital, the thing is that my settler got stuck, maybe because there was a wall where the incident occurred. I understand that he is hitting himself all the time, I already arrested him, I hit him and nothing worked, he is still hitting himself.

I just came into the FactionDef_Saurids.xml file. I found the xenotype repartition and I changed this line.

From: <VRESaurids_Saurid>8</VRESaurids_Saurid>

To: <VRESaurids_Saurid>0.825</VRESaurids_Saurid>

Now in game it's 82% like planned..

It took me 3 sec, maybe you can update this line so no one would come back again for this hahaha and the repartition would do as planned in the mod page.

Oh well if you don't have time I will have to do this correction every update then.

The game normalizes those numbers, so it shouldn't be a problem

Hey Sarg, is it normal that the "missmatch" concerning the xenotype percentage of the Saurid faction population is still like this: 100% Saurid, Impid 10%, Hussar 5%, Neanderthal 2.5%? It means the pool is at 117,5%. This number are not like the ones written here. I don't want to have an issue in my save if the xenotype pool of a faction is higher than the limits.. I confirmed the proportion by attacking 5 settlements of Saurid, there were 0 Impid, Hussar or Neanderthal. All of them were Saurid. I took a screenshot of the "issue". I saw 6 other posts saying the same things in these 56 post pages. I tested with no mods and this still happen. Other than that, mod works flawlessly and I like it a lot.

dinos were never cold blooded btw, lizards are^^ not saying there havent been large as dinosaur lizards, but dinosaurs were warm blooded

Saurid trader caravan die on map everytime from cold map they don't leave like regular trade caravan when the temperature is dangourous, they just wait until almost everyone die.

Working fine here for me

Xeno Egg will make the game really slow ( it turns good if you destroy those eggs), is there anyway you can make them less destructive?

Immaculate mod, i like how y'all pictured lizardmen

Yes
