@The Baron Absolutely go for it, imho the skill loss is a vanilla game mechanic nonsense, I have skill loss set to 1% in mad skills. Just because I haven't ridden a bike in 20 years doesn't mean I forgot how :D I also use the patches from the comment below to make playing with fungoid easier. It's a single player game make it as fun or as unforgiving as you like;)

@The Baron Not at all, everyone is entitled to tailor their Rimworld experience how they like. If you aren't a fan of the skill loss on this Xenotype then checkout this patch that removes the skill loss mechanic and replaces it with another balanced negative gene: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3435043901
or a patch that just deletes it outright (don't run both at once): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3532224996

me with mad skills am i am asshole for not liking the skill loss mechanic?

You can also load this patch for this mod that'll keep the coalescence gene from appearing on new Fungoid pawns, that way you won't have to keep using the dev console every time a new Fungoid appears: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3464000177

You are most likely right, just that not much point in investigating which mods conflict if solution is that easy, at least for me.

Unlikely to be the gene on its own, it sounds like a mod conflict

At least that is what I did in my case.

This error is actually due to the gene that has that shared mood mechanic. Use dev mode to remove the gene from pawn, and you can continue to play without this issue.

There was a crash on my land 3 survivors, i took them all in and noticed that one of my pawns kept getting sick. So ok whatever a few days pass. then i see one of my doctors can't leave the room and I notice the hair of the pawn looks nasty af. so i draft my colonist and threw a grenade in the room when the fungoid pawn died my entire prison room was covered with that rot smell. omg, never again will i allow another one of these fungoid in my colony they are purge on site thank you Sarg now I have more targets Yippie :D

hahaha

Absolute LOL @ the repulsive (or w/e it's called gene). A fungoid joined my colony, I'm always interested to see new xenotypes so I accept him. Some time later I notice people randomly vomiting. I think nothing of it - food poisoning maybe as I'm training some cooks. Few in game weeks later the whole place is covered in vomit and I can't figure why.

Well played sir, well played.

@SKELETON I also have the same issue, reported via the bug report form, but as I was not sure how to replicate it on new save (it takes several in game years to occur) the form will probably be ignored. It happens when fungoid gets its fungal infection to a higher stage after several years and you get more bonuses (like more speed, regen etc.)
Could you share your mod list I will be able to crosscheck and test on a save, would share if I found the mod conflict Mr. Sarg is referring to.

The only permanent solution is to stop using stupid A"I" for these things.

Unless you can replicate the error with ONLY this mod (plus requirements), it is 100% a mod conflict.

I'm not entirely sure. The mod error is a suddenly occurring loop error, and I couldn't find the source. I directly asked DeepSeek with the mod error report, and he told me that this mod caused it. At first, I didn't believe it, but after disabling the mod and loading the save, the error disappeared. After adding it again and playing for a while, the error reappeared. I asked DeepSeek about the cause, and he said: It is not caused by your operations. It is not caused by other mod conflicts (although conflicts may expose it). It is a fundamental error in the mod's code when processing its internal data. Therefore, the only permanent solution is to wait for the mod author to release an update to fix this issue. Until then, the most effective solution is to disable the mod.

Does that happen with this mod on its own?

There's a Zombie on your lawwwwwn!

It's random, yeah

Hi, my already almost immortal ghoul gal got infected by Fungoid before I knew what it is. Out of curiosity I let it progress and now she is double immortal having both the ghoul and fungoid regen and armors.

I am trying to infect more ghouls with her, the wounds on them if I melee attack show as infector claw, but they never get the infection. Is it just a tiny chance and I got lucky or a bug or mod conflict?

can attacks from implants like the power claw also infect ?

thanks for confirming :)

I love the mod, I got some fungoids early in my playthrough and harvested their genes to make a bloodbag feeder race for my vampires.

now I'm exploring capturing them and using them as perimeter distractions for raiders

Yes, that's what happens

I've extracted the "gene infector" gene and I'm using it with the gene assembler to create custom xenotypes.

The problem I'm having is the first colonist (the spreader) I implant the new xenotype with has the correct icon and xenotype name, but all the ones they infect have the correct icon but the xenotype name is "Baseliner"

This happens even if the original spreader colonist was a saurid instead of a baseliner.

can you make it so that the infector mouth applies the effect when blood feeding and no just when attacking, would be nice for vampire/werewolf like xenotypes

<3

thats fair. i'll submit it properly for you. my apologies.

Nothing is consuming shit if you don't report it properly

Yeah. I'm having it as well. It's consuming alot of my tps for map components.

Hello. How do I add Vanilla Races to ongoing game? I have added mods shortly after starting new game - but already in year 5 and haven't seen any of the new races.

Glowforest biome seems to trigger "ate human meat" even when individual is set to a carnivore diet. Moodlet occurs when there is no active consumption of food.

@LebendigesKissen as these are xenosgenes it should be possible to just inject any xenogen into a fungal pawn to override any other xenogenes , same with sanguophages

ancient astrosuits dont have vaccum resistance

Is there a way to override the genes the Fungoid have? A young woman just dropped into my colony and I dont want her to be send away but since she is a Fungoid and... well... pretty ugly I don't want her having ANY social actions of course. So I though I just override her Xenotype with another one. Is that possible? Since her health tab says the gen infestation can't be cured

Oh, thanks

You have an ideo that is blocking their hair

Hey. Why my fungoid have no "hair"? Is this mod have incopabilities or something like that?

For those that are interested, I just released a new patch for this mod that purely removes the "No Study" gene. Check it out here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3532224996

@SAUCE - If I had a solid gold codpiece for every time someone has failed to understand what "story generator" means... well, I'd need a bigger closet, that's for sure.

@Sarg Bjornson Story generator, maybe it's right for they're trying to tell

thank you, that helps. I kinda think that they should ignore ugliness if they themselves are ugly otherwise they seem like a race of extreme loners who hate their own kin, which begs the question of how did they get together to begin with.

@Feels Only if you're using a non-fungoid colonist, as a fungoid colonist won't vomit around other fungoids.

You can technically get lucky with a normal colonist recruiting them in between the vomiting, but it's extremely tedious to do (especially if you don't have a colonist with a recruiting inspiration). And once you do recruit them they're almost entirely a determent to the colony due to the constant vomiting they induce (unless you choose to infect everyone else with the fungoid xenotype). So you'd have to use them as a caravan/spaceship pawn or house them in an isolated portion of the map where they'd rarely interact with anyone.

If you're not interested in being forced to use Fungoid colonists in that way/just want to avoid the vomiting, feel free to checkout my patches for this mod that can tailor the fungoid xenotype to how you want to have them be in your Rimworld: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/?id=3435047193

because funguys

Why would you want to recruit these?

so its impossible to recruit them because anyone who tries proceeds to vomit themselves to death?

@Tookatee you're a saint, perfect!

since the suits they are wearing are space suits, any chance they could provide vaccum resistance?

@Titan i think alpha genes has that vundabar

@titan Already done! Here's the link to it https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3435626742
