Hello.
Are there any plans for better Odyssey compatibility? Currently it's impossible to build anything other than an artificial basic hive on a gravship since the creep does not spread on the gravship substructure.
It does, however, spread though space (the tiles of 'nothing' in the orbit) and travels along with your gravship.
Also, the 'Hive area' does not carry over when moving the gravship.

Please improve Megascarab min comfortable temperature resistance, now it is 0C and they die in every winter

is there a way to change the medicine policy for the insectoids from nests? my doctors keep running into the fray trying to heal the bugs and this has nearly gotten them and their more valuable patients killed.

Just happened to me, got an event where entities (I opened an ancient danger and closed it right away to see what's up and it was some flesh beasts trapped inside) are leaving and one of my basic hives decided it's bugs are now tamed colony animals who can't mine or haul and it started making two more. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

Can I take my insectoids out of the colony to help me fight or raid? I don't see an option when forming caravan

Q: What about Plasma Weapons?
A: Those will arrive in Vanilla Quests Expanded - Plasma Forge

I think the addiction mechanics around Royal Insect Jelly are incorrect

Safe does interval for adults: Always safe
Min tolerance to addict: 0%
New Addiction chance: 5%

If 0% tolerance has to be met to addict, and there's a 5% chance how can the safe dose interval say always safe? Am i missing something?

How do you make insectoids stay loyal to the hive after going into deep and deeper caves?

What about them?

I love you guys, how about the Black Hive boss? And the Hive Bugs?

Hello everyone,

I wanted my hunting insects to hunt automatically. I created a patch that allows them to do that instead of the vanilla style. Made it for myself but everyone is free to use as I can see many other people have had the same issue of them wandering around.

You don't remove ANY mods from a running save, or that save is fucked. This is elementary knowledge when modding this game

这mod内容是不少，但是没法中途移除，而且说实话用处真不多，我玩了这么久了从来没有用过里面的东西和科技，毕竟机械体省心省力mod还多，今天说反正不用删了算了，存档还进不去了
建议慎重选择

This mod has quite a lot of content, but it **can’t be removed mid-playthrough**. To be honest, it’s not very useful either. I’ve played for a long time and have never used any of its content or technologies. After all, there are plenty of mods for mechanoids that are more convenient and low-effort. Today, I thought I’d delete it since I never use it anyway—turns out I can’t even load my save file now.

**I recommend choosing this mod carefully.**

How do I know if production of resources happened? I have a titantick and supposedly it gives me 15 chemfuel every three days but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to harvest it like milk or it just poops it out

You disable it through mod options

i have dubs hygiene and "animals have thirst" option on. buy my insects wont drink water at all even when i had a pond (made with devmode) and a water trough in their hive zones. how do i fix this pls ty

@Krankus Wrexus ty, found it!

Ive seen a few comments saying people's megaspiders havent been actively hunting and have been wandering around the hive. Mine is doing the same and wont hunt unless I physically draft them to do so. Is this how it's supposed to be? Are they only allowed within designated area around the hive itself? I was under the impression that they would do it automatically similar to megascarabs mining/hauling?

A guy earlier in the comments linked it

@gpbrent I think there is a mod for that already

Would you consider adding an airtight insectoid wall, and maybe a door, so I can build a hideous flying bughive?

...thornblade maggots might be abit overtuned, or I had an incredible mod interaction. they spawned in and ran into my colony and sniped everyone in about 45 seconds.

this mod got any compatablity with psycasts extended and the herald black hive?

I made a basic hive, but then when a raider with a pistol showed up my scarabs just walked around letting him shoot at them til they died. Why don't my insects fight?

All our mods are on GitHub, you can see the changes there

Is there a place to view patch notes? I see there was an update on 9/9 but I wonder what changed/got fixed

Add the Bile Titan, the Dragon Roach, the Hive Lord, and the Burrowing Bugs

Time to play helldivers.

@joyrider it is a optional feature if you do not research or build it there is no effect

cool mod but i'd want a version without all this complicated "build your own hive" thing

I assume this breaks the game if removed mid save? Has anyone tested?

Hi, just wonder if any more new insects will be added to this mod in the future, loves having the insectoids as a hive enemies in my grimworld 40k mod save before tyranids gets introduced.

Nevermind...it produced royal jelly 2 days later...i think the first time around my pawn must've eaten it

I tamed the Empress but when i tried to gather resource from animal at 100% royal jelly production i got 0 royal jelly

I legitimately hate asking about old features deprecated since you guys already have enough on your plate, but is there a plan to introduce some of the older Insectoid stuff that got cut out in the first version of the mod such as the Milk Beetles and the psychic animal tamer? I really miss having those around, I've felt like the idea of just raising giant beetles with a big sack of fluid on its back for cheese was peak Rimworld.

Can't add the "Hive" Faction Mid Playthrough by using the Button in the VEF Mod Options, Error:

An error occurred when trying to spawn faction Insect:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

The Full Debug Log is apparently to long to copy into steam comments

I was wondering if this is intended behavior or not. I've noticed that every now and then, my insectoids will disconnect from a hive and simply act as tamed insectoids aimlessly wandering around the map instead of performing any tasks. When I click the hive, it indeed shows that there are no longer any insectoids connected to it and is currently breeding new ones.

I have this hive inside o an ancient stockpile, so maybe that's causing the issue if it's not intended?

how can we have royal jelly produced by the insectoids?

what makes the mod recognise if my custom xenotype is a bug? I built my own custom insector like race but im unsure if they will be hindered or not on creep?

will creep spread through walls or can i contain it to a room? also they wont construct it for some reason even though in have the resources

Hello, I used the tame psycast from VPE on the patriarch and tamed it. It now produces burrows every few days that spawn one of the royal insect castes of it's own volition. While I know Sarg has stated that the patriarch cannot be tamed, when tamed and drafted it says it loses its abilities due to no longer having connection to a wild hive. The royal insects spawned from these tame burrows are lobotomized and struggle to eat and sleep.I feel as though this could be turned into a potentially interesting mechanic, and a tame patriarch could have its own retinue of royal bugs like the empress has with her being a mobile hive, with some form of downside (like the royal caste needing to eat royal jelly instead of standard jelly) and potentially a way to upgrade sorne hives into royal hives.

can you experience all the content and gameplay without the story teller? does she only affect difficulty which is what the description seems too say?

You can't tame the Patriarch

Good afternoon, I’m playing RimWorld with the Vanilla Expanded Insectoids 2 mod and I’d like to report a bug. When I domesticated the Patriarch, it didn’t allow me to use its abilities — that part is fine. However, I couldn’t help but notice that the Patriarch passively and over time uses its abilities on its own. The Royal Insects already come domesticated, so I’m kind of taking advantage of this to get free insect meat…

after thinking about it i came to find this. in case anyone else is interested in making a hiveship
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3546561745&searchtext=insectoids

is there any plans to update so Creep can grow over gravship substructures?
really wanna play as a hiveship

Is this compatible with the Odyssey DLC?

idunno if im doing it wrong but man does it seem like my insectoids just eat so much jelly vs how much i can make? anyone have tips i would greatly appreciate them

I love the behavior of the hunter insects so much, autonomously going after animals and bringing it back the corpse to the hive was such a cool idea.
