@Halloween Hmm, so I tried doing a patch for the Odyssey biomes but the PL animals don't seem to be spawning. I'm going to have my coder take a look at it

@Draegon1993 Thank you so much for responding! I wanted to a grasslands playthrough and this should really liven it up.

@Halloween Omg, I forgot to patch this mod for the Odyssey biomes! I'll do that tomorrow probably.
As for ones without commonality, yes, generally they are event or trader only :D

Do these animals/plants spawn in the new biomes like grasslands in odyssey? I want to do a pollution run where I pollute a grassland but don't know if any of these animals will spawn there.

Also looking at your github, if a animal does not have a biome commonality, does this mean they don't spawn outside of event/traders? Or does it mean they can spawn in any biome?

@Draegon1993
Turn it from a bug into a feature that can be turned on / off.
It honestly sounds interesting. Thank you for your time.

Ah that issue is not resolved yet. For the life of us we can't figure out what is causing it. It miiiight be the custom faction though

i assume whatever the comments like 6 messages below would say.

@Zef The pustule hornet issue as in...?

Has the pustule hornet issue been fixed? Can we use it now?

@YutaniWakazashi They don't break each other, at least. We don't usually patch for alpha animals though, it'd be something on their end

Is the Biomes! series compatible with Alpha Animals?

Thank you!

We're looking into the pustule hornet issue

Pustule hornets are spawning in swarms randomly on completely clean tiles and are truly a pain to deal with. Not even warning message about them.

Can also confirm, same issue as walrus man

That last update also fixed my issue, not sure why fishing would cause it but it works now.

Vanilla Fishing Expanded issue should be fixed now

Can confirm I am getting the exact same issue as WalrusMan. Just disabling this fixed it (Biomes Core and Prehistoric seem fine for me).

When I have this mod and the biomes core enabled, I'm unable to select next on scenario selection. The button just doesn't do anything. Disabling these two fixed it (after exhaustively going through a ton of mods lol), but I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm also getting red errors related to fish but that seems like the only error I'm getting regarding this mod on the log. Could that really be so big a bug so as to not let me play the game?

Getting a few red errors about fish including "XML error: Could not find parent node named "VCEF_RawFishBase" for node "ThingDef".

Yeah what Jiopaba said, I manually discovered that Odyssey, VFE, and Polluted Lands all cause the game to break when working together. I documented as such in the Official Bug Report Thread.

Hey Draegon, the fishing thing is actually an issue with a few other mods I've seen so far. There's usually compatibility patches for VE Fishing that specify what kind of fishing zone a Biome is in various biome mods. The problem is that Odyssey has no such concept, so specifically it's a patch that needs to be enabled if VE:Fish is detected but disabled if Odyssey is also detected. I'm not sure if you can do the opposite of a MayRequire or what, but it's an odd little problem.

That is where the asynchronous hits if you don't try to load a save... The game then complains about the reading policy for some reason.

There seems to be more logs about it in bug reports in addition to the ones I posted.

Same here, was trying to figure it out for a bit but fortunately only added a handful of mods before it refused to progress past the Choose Scenario screen

@Brooke Yomotsu Got an error log? Sounds like an incompatibility issue

Aw, for some reason Biomes: Prehistoric works just fine in 1.6, but this one doesn't (it stops me from even getting past the "Choose Scenario" screen, clicking next does nothing)

We'll look into it regardless. This is weird.

@mikester112 Weird, we don't have a 1.6 patch for VE fishing in here. I'll look into it

@Norve Nope! We haven't changed anything since 1.5

VE Fishing changes to use Odyssey's fishing system to add new fish to the game if Odyssey is enabled but the VE Fishing patch in this still tries to hook into VE Fishing's system regardless if Odyssey is enabled or not which causes red errors on startup when Odyssey is enabled with VE Fishing.

Really like playing with the mod, but I have a quick question - does this mod expand or change Scarlands biome content (like mobs, events and etc.) from Odyssey DLC?

@Reprogrammed Automaton I'll have one of my coders look at it. And that is precisely why I had to make the mod! Vanilla polluted biomes are boring as hell

I am getting a failure to load a save or generate a map with the latest update, verfied game files and it says its on 1.6 but it gives me an asyncronous event the instant I add the mod, works fine without it.

Kinda sad because this mod really makes poluted biomes fun to play in rather then just barren....

THanks for such a quick update, thought it would take a bit longer. Cant wait to add it back in and start a new world.

@CrispyCthulhu We're thinking about it :D

It would be cool if some of the polluted animals had extra abilities if you have Odyssey

@Computica For 1.6 no, for earlier versions yes.

Do we really need path finding fw with 1.6???

Updated for 1.6 with a small caveat on the aquatic animals!

Ah, do ping me if you need beta testing the new version. I'm in the discord.

@Roque the Rogue It likely doesn't work well for 1.6 tbh. We're working on updating though!

Has anyone been testing this mod in v1.6?

@Vilhelm Not really. The disease shouldn't be that common unless you're getting it from a source

Never figured it out. One was a waster with a taking psychite and other the with 3 mutations was a sanguophage. Ty for the response though. Is there a way to turn off the mutations?

@Vilhelm Uhh, no. Not at all. Are they taking the drug that causes it, maybe?

I am getting Mutapox non stop is that normal? I am only 2-3 hour into game play and i have a colonist with 3 of the mutations and another with one.

do it work with regrowth?

@pug So far as we've seen so far, it only includes stuff for flying and amphibious animals, not aquatic ones, so PF will still be needed for that aspect
