How do you get the queen genes?
Corby "Corb" Corbinsky 30 Sep @ 8:32pm 
You make the best xenotype mods :)
Public_Enema 27 Sep @ 2:33am 
@Alpharius. Truly abandoned by the emperor's light you are.

@Alpharius dawg :houndeye:
ShadowV2 12 Sep @ 1:19am 
i have a suggestion you could make an crustacean xenotype mod. there is a supprising lack of these on the workshop.
Alpharius 10 Sep @ 2:22pm 
heh heh guess you could say I have an insect fetish trait then
I'd let the both of them use me as a gestator for their eggs if I could lick the sweat from them when they're done
hung from a wall with that gunk they use to make their hives while their kids hatch in my torso and slowly eat their way out and then I'm given time to heal so they can continually grow their hive heh

add insect fetish trait to non-insect pawn. Like some of them is fascinated with them and they are obsessed with them (+40 opinion) and insectoid might have just normal 0 or +20 (can be 0 still)

i have a question, are the bugs next to insectoid raiders part of the mod? they look nice, i have the mod downloaded snooped around and could find anything like the way those look, pls tell me i want them in my game, even if they're js a re-skin of bugs
A Good Boy 25 Aug @ 11:09am 
does this overlap with any other mods adding similar things?
mcreight10 23 Aug @ 9:21pm 
oh wait i just realized you need the new dlc for it to queens to spawn :( Could you make them also spawn with just biology pretty please?
mcreight10 23 Aug @ 8:40pm 
Hey sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you find/get queen insectoids? I cant find them anywhere.
Triel 17 Aug @ 1:29pm 
The xenotype injector seems like just the thing I need for certain game ideas I have. Could ya explain how it works?
Jetstream Sam 3 Aug @ 1:10pm 
goon mod = Good mod

(Portraits of rim has no compatibility :( Is it possible to make at least colof of normal human face instead of eye and mouth flying in void of characters "head")
masternetra 2 Aug @ 8:01pm 
@Dingleberry von Mistwiesen - It is compatibilite in that it won't crash the game or anything, but the insectoids that normally build insectoid stuff in VFE Insectoid produced by the egg injectors won't build and just act as tamed animals.
Sikri 1 Aug @ 11:07pm 
this is my favourite mod! thank you for all your work, the splice queen is super cool!
masternetra 1 Aug @ 5:11pm 
With the egg injectors how long does it take for them to hatch? I see values like 0.5 which at this point guessing they're multipliers, but don't really tell me how long something takes to hatch

@Hernan_Graham
splice-queens have a female gene if you have "Big and Small" mod
Hernan_Graham 1 Aug @ 3:54am 
A male colonist who I uesd gentic rewriter convert in to Splice-Queen is still male.
Could you add the gene to force the Queen to be female?
Dingleberry von Mistwiesen 31 Jul @ 2:31pm 
How compatible is this wonderful mod with VFE Insectoid and VRE Insector?
Comrade Leanna 31 Jul @ 9:52am 
insect girl pretty :bkdrool:
Tcgirl8 31 Jul @ 8:16am 
Bug girls <3
Wereton Furcas 31 Jul @ 6:57am 
How about add a gene that allow insectoid xenotypes to move fluently on slime floor :3
Hernan_Graham 31 Jul @ 6:33am 
Cover picture is so cute!!!
Wereton Furcas 31 Jul @ 6:12am 
wonderful, simply wonderful
Lovecraft 31 Jul @ 4:07am 
Could you make the xenotype icons available in the icons customization pls?
Paolini 31 Jul @ 2:13am 
based on the vanilla insects we all know and love(?)

Am gonna say that the queen should of be able to lay eggs for normal humans to be born
Lennoxicon  [author] 30 Jul @ 4:23pm 
Make sure steam updated the mod.
Droider 30 Jul @ 3:56pm 
just bought odyssey. i see the locust but not the queen xeno. what is it called?
Lennoxicon  [author] 30 Jul @ 2:17pm 
Also, with Big and Small they have a couple extra genes.
Lennoxicon  [author] 30 Jul @ 2:11pm 
Update: Splice-Queen Xenotype
Splice-queens excel at raising animals and influencing people, and can inject regular insectoid eggs into animals (and humans) to grow an insectoid army. Bigger insectoids, like hive queens, require bigger bodies.
Droider 30 Jul @ 1:37pm 
dang, the two new xenos need odyssey, so sad
Furried 30 Jul @ 8:26am 
SPLICE QUEEN REAL
Corby "Corb" Corbinsky 30 Jul @ 6:59am 
I adore the art here. <3
Droider 29 Jul @ 9:15pm 
the jelly buffs only last 1 hour each time jelly is eaten, ending almost instantly
Chimbo 20 Jul @ 10:34am 
I came here thinking "Man, it'd be cool if this guy was planning on adding a Locust variant" and the absolute madman already did it. Cheers.
heilan9 19 Jul @ 6:10am 
if I make a meal or desert (vanilla expanded cooking) using insect jelly will it have the same effects?
tv_head 19 Jul @ 12:12am 
Furried imagin if the hive queen xenotype has a gene that lets her choose the genotype of her offspring maybe the other xenotypes could be updated to being sterile to make the queen extra important to colony growth
Furried 18 Jul @ 1:43pm 
hive queen when?
Lennoxicon  [author] 17 Jul @ 4:40am 
UPDATE:
New Xenotype: Splice-Locusts!
Splice-Locusts are a rare caste that specializes in operating spacecraft and surviving in space. They are fast and capable of a little of bit everything needed to make a living on a ship, but need expensive drugs to keep alive.
Sikri 14 Jul @ 6:24pm 
@Droider Well a locust would be better at planting than a scarab, they could have a faster movement speed and a short flying leap
Droider 14 Jul @ 10:58am 
there was a past reddit post with designs for exactly those two. queen i like but i dont get how a ocust xenotype could differ from the previous ones
Sikri 14 Jul @ 5:50am 
do you think you might add in locusts and the hive queen? i think they would be super cool
Droider 12 Jul @ 9:16am 
could it be possible to add an ideology precept that nullifes the mood penalty from splice transformation?
Droider 10 Jul @ 7:57pm 
commenting so ill know when you update, love this mod
FlyIN_11 30 Jun @ 7:48am 
Hello, I used this mod in the 1.6 unstable version. During the battle with the insect nest, I noticed that a pawn with the immunity to poisoning gene was knocked down by the poisoning effect directly caused by the invader's stinger attack. Is this a bug? (This message was translated using a translator.)
Reprogrammed Automaton 20 Jun @ 3:06pm 
Dumb question but does the jelly metabolisim work if the jelly is cooked into a meal?
miliyx 20 Jun @ 5:25am 
the insector cover art is a baddie
