figured it out.. i had an old 40k mod that i meant to uninstall for being obsolete.. the duplicate screwed up a few things

@God_of_Khaos Usually they work without any additional force to do, but let me check their thinktree once again.

Cant get Canptek Spyder to do anything without forcing it to do it

@Cain Sorry for my belated response - I haven't had internet access because of moving into my new place for last couple of weeks. Those tow are kind of headaches for race mods... Will check what could I do.

I narrowed down the culprit either "Pick Up and Haul 1.6 Forked", or "While You're Up (1.6 patch)".

Canoptek Spyders can't prioritize research with the "Do Your F****** Research" mod.
Also I'm getting the bug where pawns will wander and almost never work unless forced to do so, a bug I had with HAR races last time I used HAR (like 3 years ago). If anyone could tell me what causes that, it's be much appreciated.

@[DP] fenrissama Definitely! Please throw it onto Core mod's error logs thread.

If it helps I have the logs for what I think the errors might be

@[DP] fenrissama Hmmm... let me check the imperium guys... only Space Marines or other imperium factions as well?

Been playing necrons a while, for some reason every time I raid an imperium faction or get raided by one, my game hard crashes

@TD9818 Yeah, I didn't decline your request, just thinking about how to fit your request into recent lore. You know, the reason why I've started this mod back in 1.3 was pretty much simply that just want to see how does latest (8ed atm) codex looks and feels like in RimWorld XD

@emitbreaker Yes, that time has already passed, but Rim is not a board game, it has its own mechanics and conventions that can be used for a comfortable and interesting game) If we go only by codes, we will get a game in "a" click on necrons. I just suggested options, because many people are familiar with the universe from the old rts, but they generally have a different story there ))

These are just suggestions

@TD9818 I know they used to have them but those gauss turrets went legend in 9ed and they don't even have data sheet now. Also, so far recent texts from the Silent King, they look like using completely different kind of energy source from lesser species. That's where I'm stuck in - best option could be something like Tesseract Vault, but that's too OP for RimWorld XD

I don't know the possibilities and limitations for mods, I can just offer, in my opinion, not complicated, but interesting solutions.
You have a wonderful mod, and such little things could add variability to the gameplay (◕‿◕ )

As far as I know, they have energy buildings, gauss turrets (including heavy ones), monoliths with god fragment guns on board, pylons. This can be used, for example, for Odyssey, the issue of onboard turrets is acute and I think this could be interesting. I will offer a couple of ideas for development, maybe something will interest (◕‿↼) For example, make some units only for close combat (for example, Flayed Ones), but immediately with a high level of close combat or increased damage (by the way, intimidation could suit them). Add abilities, for example, something for overlords that prohibits enemies in the radius from shooting, or lords to resurrect the fallen in the area without a resuscitation protocol (all this does not contradict the lore). This can be made disposable like a tachyon arrow. You can add a building for generating energy and, in order not to disturb the balance, make it with a limited supply of fuel (for example, for a year) without the ability to replenish it.

@TD9818 Do they have them? I hope I can add few items for odyssey, but first thing first - I have to finish up the 1.6 conversion and requested Aeldari Core mod ;(

The Necron mod line is one of the best. Thanks to the authors! Can you tell me if further development of the mod is planned? new buildings? for example, generators or turrets are themed (I've seen one, but maybe something simpler and cheaper for the early stages of the game)

@Spencer Mahad Yeah, if you plans to play as Necron next time, you'd better to not to add Anomaly Library. That just makes you hurt ;(

Oh yes, dark research works, although this method takes much longer than classic research, but in principle everything works. Once again, many thanks to the author. I am a big fan of Warhammer and Necrons in terms of gameplay in Rimworld.

@Hydra I think I put that explanation in Anomaly Library. As a continuously says, without Anomaly library, all researches work as normal ones.

And Necron ammo should be craftable at normal ammo bench. You have to finish corresponding research on Ammo (MIM) tab, as it is described in weapons mod.

@Spencer Mahad Do you have mod conflicts that are stopping you from doing the anomaly DLC dark study? You have to initiate or start that to start using and researching necron tech.

And author, can you put this info somewhere so that people who don't know can find it? It took me a while to figure it out on my own, and people who don't know or don't use the dark study like me may have trouble too.
If you have put it somewhere I haven't seen, then please accept my apologies.

Also, is there crafting recipes for necron ammo with combat extended?
I couldn't find the recipes anywhere in any of the core, necron, weapons or sautekh mods of yours. I also tried looking through the files and couldn't find recipes. I tried adding them in the files but it didn't work and I had to reinstall the mods.

Sauthekh Awakening and Szarekhan

@Spencer Mahad I can't get your situation - did you start as a Necron scenario, or start as non-Necron scenario? If your starting scenario isn't Necron, as it is written in Anomaly Library, you have to either perform ritual to call necron attacks or encounter any corresponding necron to unlock the research. As it is written in that mod, the purpose of the library is making it difficult for Non-Necron factions to learn their technology.

Okay, if there is such a working version of the research.

@Spencer Mahad Seems like your log shows no clue of any mod conflict. Did you activate the Monolith? Then, pawn's will doing dark study on the research table, rather then normal research. That gives you the point for Necron Basic Knowledge, which will be used to unlock necron tech.

These researches can be done in parallel with Vanilla research and Anomaly research, since they use their original researching resources only can be generated by Necron Buildings and Necron Pawns.

Thank you for your quick response. I am playing with your Anomaly mod. I will send you the logs now.

@Spencer Mahad It seems like the research table works for all cases... Could you share your log just after starting the game?

Also, one note that if you enabled my Anomaly library, you have to activate monolith to start ANY dark study, including Necron researches. That's the base design of Anomaly, and it's one of the reason why I didn't put necron odyssey starting scenario yet.

@Spencer Mahad With my Anomaly Library? If you enabled that mod, Necron research table and all necron researches turns into Anomaly-like dark study, so instead of normal research, you need to studying necron buildings or, if you want, some necrons in holding platform.

And I just tested with and without Anomaly but it works for normal research tables for non-necron factions. Now I'm checking for necrons so give me few time.

Hello author, thank you for the update. I have a problem: I'm a big fan of the Necrons, but when I play as them, research doesn't work. I set up a Necron research table, selected the technology available to me in the research tree, and that's it—the research table refuses to conduct research, even though a regular research table works.

@ilidan584 & @Thunder Dong Fixed! Please update this mod.

@ilidan584 Thanks for heads-up. It seems like anomaly setting has slightly been changed at 1.6. I'll change configuration and put all necrons into holding platform, instead of prison.

So I got a Necron Lord from a skip abduction but I cant capture it because "no prison area with safe temperature" but I have safe prison beds and anomoly area what do i need to keep a necron lord? I just put him in a cryo casket for now

Weird. Hopefully you can figure out a workaround. Regardless, this mod is must-have for me (as are your others) so keep up the fantastic work!

@Eburi Ummm... Sounds odd enough. I have bit of pressing RL business last of this weekday, but will look into it by weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
@Commissar Chenkov That started to happens since 1.6. I'm not 100% sure but it seems like the way of calculating turret weapon damaging has slightly been changed. The same happens to other melta or flamer kind of turrets, yet I couldn't manage to find the root cause out yet.
@Thunder Dong Curse me for a novice. You are right about it. I'll remove that specific gene and consolidate the function into Bietransference.

On a bit of testing it seems like Biotransference is being affected by tox immunity/resistance genes, as any toxin reistance genes are either overriding it or being overridden by it.

It seems like the breathless gene is overriding living metal for some reason, they both show up but Biotransference has the tag "Overridden by gene: Breathless". Not sure why this is but thought it's worth bringing to your attention, I'm using most of the vanilla extended mods and rimdark, not sure if it's one of those affecting it?

Quick question, but is there a reason why the convergence of dominions self destruct when engaged? They shoot a couple times, then poof, they're gone :(

Love love love your mods! Keep up the great work!

Thank you! It works now! Nice to know the beam is an intentional decision
Also, I just did a good Ideo ritual that gave a recruit, and it LOOKS like a Canoptek Spyder but apparently there's a nid Acolyte Iconward inside. Is there a way for me to fix this in-save?
Though I might keep it because the idea of a nid piloting an empty Spyder and us being chill with it is funny

@Eburi I checked in game and fixed the beam rendering. To manually shoot the beam, click weapon icon and enemies within the range.

@Eburi Will check the Plasmic Lance. And about flayers and other beam weapons, it's not a tendency, but design. Consider if enemy necron warrior shoots beam over the wall and the beam pass thru the cover.

The Plasmic Lance doesn't seem to shoot anything, and flayers have a tendency to shoot whatever cover you're attempting to use

@Autumn Renegade Do you use my anomaly library? then, you must activate monolith, since it changes necron researches into Anomaly ones, which basically requires monolith to be activated.

So I'm in the necron start, have the starting spyder and have built a necron research bench. When I select a necron tech to research however nothing gets researched and my spyder just wanders.

And if you are using my Anomaly library and not necron starting, you have to first met each necrons to unlock the dark researches.

swarm unlocks primary awakeners
flayed one unlocks raider force
lord unlocks reserve command
lokhust destroyer / heavy lokhust unlocks lime formations
triarch praetorian unlocks priority command
overlord unlocks platinum-level commander

@Dudecb it's pretty much straight forward as the research descriptions on vanilla UI shows you. In case if you are using some third party research UI,

primary awakeners: Spyder, Swarm
raider force: warrior
reserve command: lord, plasmancer, flayed one
line formations: immortal, destroyers family
priority command: destroyer lords, lychguard, triarch praetorian, deathmark, Hexmark destroyer
platinum-level commander: overlord

@Angus Beef You have separated 1.5 mod out there.

I might be just missing it, but how do I get a plasmancer? I can't figure out how to do the necron research to make one

Can you add backwards compatibility with 1.5
