sorry for lack of animation

updated.
Now with flying Mosquitos

1.6 plz?

i don't mind at all

hey, author. i made a personal patch for the issues i complained earlier. i even did a little C++ to copy Thrumbo's spawn event for the Mantises. if you want, i can help you implement this functionality into your mod, if you dont mind

Fix things here and there, give mantises combat rating high enough(i think) to give generator second thoughts to spawn them on map, now(if not working earlier) spiderwool apparel can be cremated

the mantises are so unbalanced... if theyre the size of thrumbos but are predatory, wouldnt it be more sensible to make them spawn like thrumbo? its always worrying if theyre spawned on starting map... their spawn should be an event like thrumbo instead. also, spiderwool clothes wont be recognized in the cremator if you have the bill to destroy clothes. i had different tainted clothes of different materials, but only spiderwool get left behind. anyway, thanks for adding more bugs in the game!

Should make a Mantis Claw like a Thrumbo Horn that can maybe be turned into cool weapon? Insect weapons and armors yes

Would it be possible to give the spiders a toxic bite if you have Biotech installed?

Thank you thank you thank you! :)

said - done!

Maybe today i check mod, if no misbehavior - then i simply add version number

Is there any problems with playing it on 1.5? If so - please tell

If you ever wonder if the world really needs 1.5, then the answer is yes, we really need 1.5! :)

Thank you kindly, i have been reported of the weird texture behaivor, but can't pinpoint it.
hopefuly now will work

Hey! Dunno if you're still working on the mod, i've been using it on 1.2, and noticed the roaches were missing a south texture. I've opened your mod and noticed there is a space at the end of the file-name for the south texture! Really, it's that shrimple.

Anyhow, thanks for the mod, nice to see insects that don't look like little limb-less nightmares!

Thats a neat little update, thanks @Namenlos! Will suit nicely for my Vampire colony!

also tweak Spiders so they nuzzle more often

Mosquito update. Mosquitos now will lay 20-40 eggs every 20 days and hatch after 1 day. They still lives 0.5 years. Has 90% wildness so needed lv9+ handler to tame. Now additionaly can consume Animal Products. For Biotech they are milkable every 10 days for 1 hemogen pack.

it's possible, but will cause balance issue. Because now Mosquitos are not tamable, they breed almost as much as others Insects. When i decide balance is not harmed too much then i will do it.

Is it possible to make Hemogen Pack farm out of Mosquito? Like be able to milk the Hemogen out of it.

Awesome work @Namenlos!

all Insects now do Hypothermic Slowdown, if forced to be in cold for some time

I am, no more normal meat from insects, as well as venerated Spiders

Did you fix the animals instead of insects problem?

Oh nice, could have sworn that I only saw compatibility for 1.3, or did you just update that tag? Either way i'm happy with that! Hopefully you're able to sort out the hypothermic slowdown issue :)

Reason i made this:
Cockroaches - leaves self-named meat(instead of pork/beef)
Spiders - because i wanted them as "Venerated animals"

Problem with cocroaches, spiders and others, not getting "hypothermic slowdown" - because in-game they are not "insects", but a "animal"

It is compatible for 1.4

Absolutely love this mod, would love for it to be 1.4 compatible.

on 1.4 i will look again for solution

i tried to pinpoint this problem, but to no avail

my cockroaches seem to be getting hypothermia; since they're bugs, shouldn't they be getting the hypothermic slowdown that megaspiders and such get?

i'm supporting

not appreciating?

good for you

yo, i fixed the not working "nasty insects" mod by removing _nasty from all namedefs in a local copy.

Spiders use same fleshtype as megascarab

I was looking for the fleshtype for the spiders though couldn't find it in the spider refs, could you please tell me where it would be within the files?

are the mantis untamable? when i click on wild one's there is no tame button to attempt to tame one

Hot patch inbound! thanks to qux

Hi ! Could you add a patche for modded biomes please ?
I can propose you this file if you want to add it : https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Qqko-zEujG1b35eK7x5fJczG02PylhJ/view?usp=sharing

Appreciate the update!

Patch for Ideology: Woodlouse and Cockroach will drop Insect Meat (only if you have Ideology)

Thank you! Appreciate your hard work!

i'l make a patch for Meat/Ideology, in weekend

Thats fair enough, I think since Ideology there are a lot of animals that are easily farmable for regular meat, but theres not many easy farmable insects for insect meat, the Arthuplureo from Megafauna or Alpha Animals (cant remember which) has been the best i've found thus far, but it'd be good if there was an easily breedable alternative that didn't provide so much meat but had a quick breeding time and growth time. Not sure if you'd want to rewrite the code for the meat for the existing animals or make a new animal for that purpose, but just a thought. Still going to use the mod regardless as its awesome! Just waiting on that taming inspiration before tackling trying to tame a mantis..

Thanks for your support

Centipedes - would be a disaster to write and debug a body, so many legs...

Meat was intentionaly maded non-insect, this was made pre-Ideology as fast replicating meat, so i guess it is need to rework a little to meet a nowadays expectations.
No, no new insects planned, because this need time to plan and write XML, also to make a decent texture.
