Fully tested and confirmed update to Apini to rimworld 1.4
Recommend staying with 1.3 for some time until wrinkles get worked out, full support for 1.3 maintained until April 28, 2023 at which point it will be retested, confirmed, and frozen in a branch on the github such as version 1.2 with legacy_1.2.
Again, to restate, old versions are not deleted! They are simply not available on the steam page since there are no more updates and the way the mod structure works would cause the mod size to grow rapidly.
You can download and install the mod by simply downloading the branch you want and putting it in your mods folder.

It seems the preliminary didn't have too many issues though, which is a refreshing thought.
Please do report any bugs with the new update, especially ones involving compatibility with mods that are listed as compatible on the steam page as I often miss bugs there.
I'm looking into adding more content, "HeavyMetalClown" over at the discord has been working a bunch on a new class of animal. Additionally I'm looking into adding a Japanese translation to the mod, as there appears to be demand and a sizable chunk of the audience, so I'm getting into contact with folks who have already done so.
I know such people often monitor these updates, so please do get in touch as I seriously appreciate your hard work :)

UNSTABLE MERGE, staging branch.
Mod now perliminarily compatible with rimworld 1.4, fast tracking upload but much more testing and bugfixing to be done.
Apini for rimworld 1.3 not affected. Workshop support for rimworld 1.3 ends April 28, 2023

Aluminum Alan:
Honeyglass helmets no longer appear randomly
Apini flak vests renamed to flak suits and cover more of the body.
Whitelisted more apparel from Apparello, Vanilla Armory Expanded, Combat Extended + Shields.
Fixed and tweaks to CE patch

Jack7D1:
Moved defname translation from source to unused
Fixed hands and feet mixup in EPOE and EPOE forked patches
Balanced Azuri raiding parties
Turned Tarsal claws into single hands attached to arms, fingers and hands are single unit. Instead of three on an arm.
Fixed labels for pollen and nectar
Fixed Insect relations aggression triggering on friendly insects
Fixed grammar issue in backstories
Included Necropini in beelien surgeries.
Tweaked workspeed values for Apini and Azuri
Added Specification folders to Z_Source

Ecu:
WIP - Reworked Honey, Pollen ball, and Nectar textures to higher quality vector versions. Using grayscale templates to remove the need for individual textures for the different colors.
Honey Complete

Hotfix: fixes an out of date defname in the rimbees patch with the new necropini content.

Changes a bunch of defnames, backcompatibility added, minimal impact on saves, however some backstories are reset.
First time errors related to backstories and not being able to find a similar match should be ignored as it is caused by the above.

Adds a new species of Beelien, Necropini with all new spritework! Largely an optional addition, you can now make meat honeys! Check out the Necropini special forces scenario for a new experience!

Added contributing info

Apini Armor now also covers wings and abdomen bodypartgroups.

Flavored honeys are now seen as 'desperate only' for nutrition by colonists, instead of never being eaten for nutrition.

Moobee bodysize reduced by 33%, carrying capacity reduced by 50%

Apitech mechanites no longer require apini jelly, instead require unflavored honey at x5 quantity.


IMPORTANT FOR COMPATIBILITY:
Modmakers see https://github.com/Jack7D1/Rimworld-Apini/pull/120 for details

6 months after 1.3 release, development and support for 1.2 has been shelved into legacy.
See https://github.com/Jack7D1/Rimworld-Apini/pull/118 for more information.
You can still download the 1.2 build manually to continue playing, however support has ended.
You are encouraged to ask questions in the discord server listed in the description. Just remember that you'll have to send a message in the verification server to get access.
