All of the features of the mod work when a pawn has 0% sight, or wearing a blindfold. I think
I haven't tried the Alpha Gene Psy-sight stuff

I was hoping to find a mod like this. But i have few questions:

Does this mod work with Alpha Gene's Psy-Sight gene (worsens he pawn's sight, but increases it with every psylink level... However it does seem to require eyes)?

Will this mod have any problems with othere sight-related genes/cyberentics?

I'm just trying to make sure that my modpack won't shit itself once i add this mod

@Most Definitely a Mimic
Not yet, but I plan to at some point

Is this incorporated as well?

Hey there! You seem to have accidentally included the source files within the mod, making it 85MB instead of closer to 5MB. Figured I'd let you know

So i am getting only a blank black page when i try to access settings either via Rimworld options or XML Extensions. The only option is the close button.

Here is a link to the HugsLib log: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/e37195f32eedf5a4c6c954fda38fff6c

I am still on Rimworld 1.5 if that helps you narrowing it down.

I think psychic sensitivity should play a role on how much of a benefit a blind pawn can get from their psylink level. Maybe let it act as a limit? 100% sensitivity let's you get up to 100% sight equivalent, anything below that is limited to whatever the sensitivity of the pawn is(so 40% sensitive is capped at 40% sight equivalent). While going over 100% sight equivalent needs double the sensitivity over 100%, so to reach the maximum of 150% a pawn would need 200% psychic sensitivity(150% sensitivity can get you only up to 125% sight equivalent). This way you can't give a blind psychically deaf pawn a psylink and have them negate their blindness with psychic powers they can't actually use.

Quick question, are there supposed to be mod settings? I just get an empty black screen when clicking on this mod in Options, or XML Extensions (and in the latter i can't then return to the mod list at all until a new start).

@Ishchyaboi

Near Blindness is no Blindness (not as a health problem at least)

I have this mod and, in my tests, having PsySight (with level 6 psylink from the base DLC system) does not override the "Near Blindness" gene from Alpha Genes. Is that a fixable issue?

Thanks for the update! ♥

Great mod - thanks for keeping it up!

Updated to 1.6, See the change notes for details.
Please reach out here or to me on Discord: spencezilla, if there are any bugs/issues
I will typically answer faster over on discord

@SpenceZILLA

That's okay. Take as long as you need to.

This technically should work for 1.6, let me take a look on updating it anyways
Just got back from a vacation, I haven't even updated rimworld yet

@SpenceZILLA

News on 1.6 update?

something is wrong/strange with "blind(attuned)" hediff
i haveseveral pawns with ot and some have -50% moving, some have -25 and some have no debuff at all

Hey FYI, the "Blind" hediff that your mod adds (whether due to sight removal or from the blindfold) has a problem with things that attempt to remove hediffs, like the vanilla healer mech serum or Anomaly's chronophagy ritual or various mod content e.g. psycasts that attempt to regenerate limbs; they attempt to remove your Blind hediff and should not, and then your mod just re-adds the Blind hediff (as it should, because the pawns eyes are still gone/blindfold is still on)

According to Sleepy068, author of Sleepy's Psycasts, you should add the tag <isBad>false</isBad> to your hediff "BU_BlindAttunement" so these effects won't attempt to remove it. Thanks.

Funny edge case: if a pawn is blind, and has not reached Attuned stage, and gives birth, apparently this pushes some vital stat below zero (probably consciousness) and they die! Consider adding a minimum to the maluses applied by that hediff, if that's possible

@SpenceZILLA Could you make a patch with the Psychic Sight form Alpha Genes

@SpenceZILLA Awesome!! Just wanted to make sure it was working as intended! I appreciate you responding! Thank you!

@Aimsworth
Attuned is the final stage of the effect; originally from "BlindsightWorks"
This benefit is for all Blind pawns, not just psy-enabled ones. In theory, the blind will eventually be a lot more confident and comfortable when moving around, but they won't be as fast as someone with sight

Hey, I'm sorry if this is listed somewhere, I've been looking and can't find it. How do pawns advance past "Blind (Attuned)"? Or do they stay there with the -25% moving penalty?

@homounicornio
That would be a great idea, although might be out of my normal wheelhouse. I only combined 3 mods (which was mostly trivial).
I do think that would be a good idea for a mod, but not something I have the time for in the next few months

Hi: I don't know if you're still working on this mod, but I wanted to suggest adding an Eltex blindfold, since you can't use a blindfold with other Eltex headwear (if that's not too complicated and out of your league). The mod is amazing like it; just thought of adding a bonus for blindfold.

Found a mod that fixes the reading problem:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3317714430
However it's only 10% reading speed at all levels of blindsight

Also I have tried all levels of Psylink and Blindsight, but they can't read due to the sight being a multiplier of 0x due to being blind being applied after the addition from blindsight hediff.

I think the only way to fix it would be to patch the reading speed stat.

Thanks for the mod.

I tried @Dorsal! 's fix and it's no longer throwing errors every time I hover over the hediff.

In Royalty\1.5\Defs\HediffDefs\Hediffs_truesight.xml
Replace "<EntityStudyRate>" with "<EntityStudyRate MayRequire="Ludeon.RimWorld.Anomaly">"

I would think you could mimic the behavior of something like Sensory Mechanites, which has hidden "severity" and instead shows stages and is nonlethal. When untreated or treated poorly, sensory mechanites build up severity like Blood Rot, but the value is hidden and only affects the severity stage of the symptoms.

@skimaskalx or use "dont say 100% unless you mean 100%"
its a good mod

@SpenceZILLA i haven’t gotten around to modding myself, but i believe infections in rimworld usually round themselves out. (i.e 99.1% being displayed as 100%) so if possible, capping it at 99.1% or 99.5% or some irrelevant number could get the hediff to display as 100%

@Maximillionysis - Limitation from how the blindsight mod works, and the sort of "Improvements over time"
It's just an infection that can't kill you. If it reached 100 the pawn would die, so the max is 99

Question, is the Blind hediff supposed to be permanently at 99%? Or is something supposed to happen when it reached 100%?

@Lucy - Always open on discord: spencezilla
@FormalCyborg - I've mostly just moved over the effects from the above mentioned mods. If it is an issue I can change the values a bit. But I don't think -60 -> -25% is too much. Let me know if it really is too much, and I can make it less

@Dorsai! - Let me try, it shouldn't be too hard, might just take time. But from my testing, aside from the log errors on launch, it doesn't impact the effectiveness of the mod

Hi, as a fan of the abandoned Blindsight - Truesight I love your mod. Great work pulling those mods together into a consistent package. One quick note:

You're using the 'EntityStudyRate' stat in your 'BU_TrueSight' hediff and it's giving me a red error on launch because the StatDef doesn't exist (likely because I don't have Anomaly yet).
Could you add a MayRequire="Ludeon.RimWorld.Anomaly" to the tag where it's used. Already tried it and it seems to work.

Perhaps I'm missing something but, while interesting, after testing for a while the movement reduction was a huge headache to deal with, even at attuned status.
Anything that lowers movement any further is likely to straight up down a pawn, single hit to the legs is all it took a lot of the time

oh i see now, its just there is a bug with something else so at level 6 it says error getting tooltip on the blidnsight health condition so i wasnt able to see the buffs

@SpenceZILLA do you have somewhere i can contact you other than here just so its quicker?.

yea the normal sight stat in health is still 0, where do i view the psy"sight"stat, is that the buffs like how they have a +20 to shooting accuracy from blindsight?

@Lucy - Can you check for the other modifiers as well? And do you mean "the sight is still 0" as in the pawns "Sight" stat or the Psy"sight" stays at 0?

The psysight buffs will not change a pawn's sight stat, it instead provides buffs to make up for having 0 sight, where each psylink level is another 25% "virtual sight"

ok so they get a shooting buff but the sight is still 0

they are a psycaster, but it just says the error getting tooltip text and they dont have any buff

they need to be psycasters

im getting the same as mrmagolor not sure whats going on but it doesnt add any sight bonus to my people

Going through my extensive mod list in preparation for coming back to play and I saw that Truesight was no longer working. Looked up Blindsight in the Workshop and found this. This is so much more than I was getting out of Truesight and it's awesome!

experiencing the same "error getting tooltip text" as others, but I suspect that the issue is Big and Small Framework/Genes and More? No idea what specifically it does there, but it's the only mod I have that affects hediffs in any meaningful way

I released an addon for this mod here that allows truesighted pawns to read.

Blindsight doesnt provide you with the sight buff no matter what your psylink level is

@StanleyTheWorst - Not sure what would be causing that, nothing with the mod interacts with the Mouse position stack, or a ScrollView; It might be a conflict with something else

@FateoftheRealms - It might be an issue with another mod, This mod only adds some health effects that give some buffs to hearing a work stats, something might not be properly interacting with the interface, or changing how rimworld gets toolsips

I'm a bit confused on whether or not the mod is working correctly for me. I'm getting the same error that Pookage got in their comment on May 18th in regards to not having Anomaly, but I also get the error "Error getting tip text" when I hover over the health description on pawns that have it. It still shows up, but no descriptions, and nothing I can find references it as doing anything except for hearing. Is that the only thing that the blind-sight feature is supposed to effect? Am I missing something?

getting this error whenever i hover over the blindsight hediff, that same hediff also isn't giving any benefits

Mouse position stack is not empty. There were more calls to BeginScrollView than EndScrollView. Fixing.
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()

i'd send my modlist too, but it doesn't fit so womp womp
the only mods that i think could be somehow messing with this are like vanilla psycasts expanded and maybe SOS2
