@Doom I like the idea, that would make the two ability synergize well, i'm working on another mod atm but i'll keep that one in mind.

Biosmoother should maybe have a more Tox absorbing theme rather than the removal via the ancient tech. With that in mind you could have various abilities allowing for the absorbing of pollution in exchange for buffs/resources.

Say something like
T2: Tox Adaption: For each tile of pollution absorbed withing a the given range the caster gains a bonus to their Tox Immunity. The buff is permanent but upon using it it also gives the caster a level of Toxic Buildup relative to the amount of pollution absorbed during casting.

The overall idea being the caster is pulling the toxins from the space around them and using their body and Psychic prowess to break it down. With the example I gave its the based on the idea of drinking a small or survivable amount of a poison until you gain a full immunity but drink to much all at once and you'll die.

I love your psychic expanded series and I hope this helps!

Accepting ideas for new abilities concerning Biosoother.

(Part 2)

T7:

Tox Catalyst:
Force the toxins present within the target creature/corpse/wastepack to burst out in the form of a cloud of noxious gas, dealing acid damage to nearby creatures depending on the severity of the target's toxic buildup or the amount of wastepacks in the stack.

T8:

Wastepack Nuke:
Unleash a large-scale explosion of various chemical agents, covering the land with great amounts of pollution and toxic gas. The radius of the explosion scales with psychic sensitivity (800% sensitivity = maxed out, resulting in a 60 cells pollution radius, and a 80 cells gas radius.)



Misc:

Muted toxic shock's effecter.

Reduced the cost of the reactor summon ability to 70% psyfocus.

Update for 1.6: Part 1

New psycasts:

T3:

Waste Focus:
Absorb the primary chemical present within wastepacks and convert it into psyfocus, the process will cause leftover chemicals to pollute the nearby area.

T6:

Polluswarm:
Trigger a chemical reaction at the target location, causing a swarm of insectoids to set up cocoons at this position, the insectoids will attack anyone that disturbs these cocoons. The infestation will be twice as big if used on a polluted area.

☢️ THIS WORKSHOP UPLOAD WAS APPROVED BY THE WASTER ASSOCIATION OF THE RIM☢️

Update:

New psycast for Biohazard tree:

T5:

Toxic Shell:
Release a deadly toxic gas in the target area.

Update: Removed DDS textures from the files, some users are having issues with loading these.

Royalty expansion should be on requirements, because required mod requires Royalty.

Update: 1.6 port

@Ziro Not until VPE gets updated, the steam version isn't and i'm not sure how stable the github version is.

work with 1.6?

Thanks, adding this to my run now

@Imagine12 it's CE compatible since there is no projectile based abilities, I just reuse the same file template which has a CE folder when I make mods.

Is this really CE Compatible cause I open the folders and the CE patches are empty?

@BigGovernment That's intended

T2 Biosoother generates toxic packs for me

I'm radioactive baby!

Is there ever a reason to summon acidic smog? I don't think the -5 to mood and slight increase in item decay can ever be worth the psycast point.

Consider including wastepacks somewhere in either tree. Wastepack infestations on demand would be more useful than anything in the biohazard tree. Maybe except using toxin skip to take down overpowered critters from other mods.

i can do this psycast irl (fart)

nice

@Get Donked On Vertigo is in the anima tree I made!

honestly would be funny if we could get a vertigo psycast tree. vertigo pulse didnt make it into VPE and its a damn shame it didnt.

AND THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT. THE GOAT

oh boy oh boy, another mod from the GOAT
I frequently enjoy fucking with the environment during my mechhive runs
and my dumbass friend provoked something else that involves NOT fucking the environment
one might even say - unfucking the environment
ANYWAYS, I'm able to do both with this mod!
Thank you Sentinel!

@OkranGalliard it appears I was wrong, it's easy enough to make it so that you can raise a shambler for longer, I'll make a psycast to raise shamblers in the AOE for a quadrum or so.

@OkranGalliard changing how shamblers work is out of scope for this mod but i added the ability to summon corpses that you can then resurrect as shamblers in the version i'm making

I'll make it so the friendly deathpall resurrects shamblers faster than normal pall, that way T6 is a perma shambler spell for a day

To add to the necromancy idea, some psycasts could be based around giving a easier and quicker method of turning living slaves and prisoners into ghouls, could also make a psycast that can enhance shamblers into "great shamblers" or really just make it so they don't drop dead in a few hours or days. If you feel like going beyond the mindless undead drones maybe also a psycast to turn someone into a sanguophage seeing as they are basically just the rimworld version of a vampire.

Honestly, I feel like if you do make a necromancer psycast path your biggest focus should be on either allowing for more powerful versions of "undead", allowing the caster to keep an endless momentum as everything that dies just gets right back up and keeps going, or turning the colony into a beautiful necropolis of sheer undead efficiency. (Some combat psycasts maybe?)

Sorry for the rant lol, I just really love the idea of a necromancer psycast path to satisfy my evil all powerful lich urges.

sorry took me so long.

ideas I had was take the tecnomancy golems.

Sword skeleton is like the steel golem but high damage and low tanky

worker skeleton is like the stone but can do jobs like building cleaning crafting farming and so on but it's like level 5

skeleton gunner is pretty much the sword one but uses a lever action rifle

Shield skeleton really tanky but low damage

Ghost knight pretty much think the ghost army from lord of the rings. They are really good at tank and damage but would cost more upkeep.

Living armor like the ghost knight but is better for safety. Maybe not as strong but has some healing it can do with a medical of 8

Skeleton king He is just raw power. High damage high def, summons his own sword skeletons like a warqueen would drones but really costly upkeep.

peak mod itd be cool if you made a biotech psycast with a random gene swap psycast and a create embryo psycast

righteous, look forward to see what you come up with

Dude, I don't tend to waltz in and comment stuff but - man, what a great mind you are! I'd love to help you with some ideas or suggestions - I'm always trying to increase consciousness, myself, for instance. Yet, no matter what you build, you surely got a Brazilian fan here! I can always help building upon your ideas, if you want too! Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Oooooh can't wait for a deadlife one!

@Mad Marl

I've got some ideas already for now

T1:
Release deadlife dust ability

T2:
???

T3:
???

T4:
Summon structure that spews out deadlife dust, useful for ranged reanimation.

T5:
Resurrect from Necropath without the finger loss, the drawback would be a "Psychic burnout" that makes your psysensitivy capped to 0 for a day or two.

T6:
Friendly death pall

could make the necromancer ghoul and shambler based. maybe some abilities to send friendly ghouls and/or shamblers into a frenzy, making them more deadly in combat

@Sera Necromancer does seem possible as I've just learned how to make a friendly deathpall, that could be the T6 of that tree already, would need more ideas for the rest though.

@Jork Glad you like the mods!

Im starting to wonder if you are looking at my mod list for ideas. Your knocking out like 4 of 5 mods every upload and i love it. Wonder if you plan do to a real actual necropath and not that brooding edgy cleric path VPE calls a necropath. If so I can uninstall skeletons skeletons skeletons and skeleton mech. ....what I like skeletons as undead. Zombies are overused and skeletons in plate armor with a sword remind me of Sir Daniel Fortescue. That and a skeleton wouldn't smell as bad building a house in 90c temps.

I love your mods, I'm using all of them and they're fantastic. Please keep up the great work!
