Does anybody know that if the fact that this mod was built for earlier versions will cause any complications for version 1.5?

update?

@alexisrex make human leather burkas lol

please update your kenshi mods

Is there a possibility for an update?

Skin suits when <_<

There should be different diseases like solar flares and CPU viruses

Can you construct them

Can they heal like humans or do they need to be repaired? Because otherwise this race seems really overpowered, they're just un-starving, un-sleeping, temperature-proof, disease-proof humans.

Maybe you should add a long term battery in them to replace food? I know this isn't in kenshi, but it would probably make sense. Just a suggestion ofc :)

Alright as a temp fix I just added <ImmunityGainSpeed>10</ImmunityGainSpeed> into statbases for the skeleton race def.

anyway to disable skeletons from catching sickness such as flus and malaria?

I wish O21-Toolbox was still a requirement, idk what kinda PCs those guys have but it runs fine, it barely impacts loading time too and it adds alot of things that make sense for skeletons like the hunger rate removal, maybe make a patch that if one does use O21-Toolbox it uses those systems.

Hey there noticed an error regarding Names and Kenshi mod.


Could not get new name (first rule pack: NamerPerson Kenshi Skeleton)

yea, i´ve seen some nasty comments of the o21 guy. what an angry dude.

Thank you!

I suspect that the 0.02 hunger rate could create issues with diseases and thoughts that modify the rate if the rate is decreased by a specific amount rather than by a percentage. If you encounter any issues with this (such as negative hunger rate, which tends to cause problems with caravan formation), then please let me know.

Update today: I've removed the [O21] Toolbox requirement in favor of the old system. Food need still exists, but hunger rate is 0.02 and food-related thoughts are disabled. If a pawn has these thoughts already, they may still be there but shouldn't show up again. I've also disabled the Gourmand and Cannibal traits and disabled thoughts related to eating specific foods and seeing/butchering humanlike corpses.

I liked having Kenshi's idea of robots around, but O21 is a no-go for me. When I tested some of their mods, I had nothing but trouble. Also, I don't seem to like the attitude of the main head there. So I will wait this one out, maybe you come up with a solution :)

i'm having the same issue i have other race mods in use and they don't seem to be having the same issue so i think it is a problem with the mod.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue as SuperFeature. Skeleton doesn't seek recreation, so -20 debuff. Can't order it to do it either. Any chance we can get that fixed, absolutely love to use more skeletons around my base!

They are not seeking recreation? Even when given dedicated recreation time...

Im currently running the O21 toolbox with Mechadroids and Skeletons and it seems great so far. perhaps what ever was causing the slow down previously has been rectified.

People have run tests using Dubs' performance analyzer and found that it eats up a lot of resources.

@Comrade Trump @rbblain Any particular reason why you think it's so bad? I can understand it creating some overhead during runtime, but in my experience it hasn't been a huge problem.

i never thought id say this.. but i agree with @Comrade Trump.

I wouldn't recommend making O21 Toolbox a requirement. It's on the performance shitlist.

New update today! Most notable change: the food need is removed! [O21] Toolbox is now a requirement.

@darthdud0 I've looked into the Warforged race mod and it seems that their implementation is derived directly from the Outpost 21 Toolbox mod. That mod features a "needFood" variable for races that directly disables the food need via a Harmony patch. I think the best option may be to add that mod as a requirement for this Skeleton race mod and use its implementation directly.

I've discovered the cause of the startup errors with my race mods and will release updates to fix them soon. However, I still haven't figured out why the factions don't have leaders.

I never seem to have a leader assigned to the skeleton faction. Wondering if this is deliberate or not?

the only thing that seems off is they won't seek out recreation on their own, other then that it works perfectly, the warforged race mod don't have the need for rest or food and work perfectly, maybe you can figure out what they did to get around the problem you are having.

On my end, setting the foodType to none did not create errors at startup, but does create errors during gameplay if skeletons are on the map. The only way I can think of to fix this is to give the skeletons a specific separate "ThinkTree" without the food need since the error is related to the food meter being nonexistent. I've avoided doing that so far since that would mean that any updates to the pawn AI or changes to it from other mods would not work with this race unless specific patches are made for this mod.

valture i am pretty sure that the zombies still have the food need but it auto fills, the warforged don't have the food need.

There are other custom races that don't eat food, like Neronix17's Warforged or the zombies from Rimworld of Magic. Maybe do that?

okay i made a copy of the mod and set foodtype to none and it remove the food need with no problems on my end, i have no idea why you got error messages.

i looked at another mod with a race that didn't need to sleep, it should be in ThingsDef_Races

for no sleep it is <needsRest>false</needsRest>
and for food it says <foodType>None</foodType>
so it should be working but it is a mod from an older version (1.0) to be exact, there has to be a way to get it to work since other mods i have seen them remove one or another.

I set the foodType to none. There is no "EatsFood" property that I've seen, and foodType controls this need. Setting foodType to none removes the food need, but causes the issues I mentioned before.

did you set the "EatsFood" need to false or change "foodType" to none? those are 2 different commands.

@darthdud0
I've tried that before, which involved setting the race's "foodType" to None, which is how the vanilla game makes mechanoids not need food. However, the humanoid pawn AI checks the pawn's food meter during its decision making, and throws errors if the food meter value does not exist (Or at least that's how it worked a while back). That's why I decided to keep the food need. So unfortunately I don't think that solution would work.

dude i think i found how to remove the food need, i looked it up

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=38266.0

it should be the 3rd post

here is the part that i thought would be helpful
"If you want to remove a basic need from a pawn, the best way would be the see if one of the configuration flags in its race properties (the <race> tag in its thingDef) can be set to negate that need. For instance, pawns with less than humanlike intelligence won't have thought-related human needs (mood, beauty, space, etc.). Pawns with the EatsFood and needsRest flags set to false won't have a food or rest need, respectively."

For some reason when Black Skeleton merchants come around they don't have guards, which lets you slaughter the caravan and get a pile of powerful stuff.

@test I doubt it, I think it would only update whenever the food bar would normally be updated, i.e. when it would normally go down. In any case, I got rid of that already and they instead just have a very low hunger rate; I just forgot to add that change to the description.

won't food bar constant refilling cause performance issues?

Now updated for 1.2!

@ASHMAC @smugrupple I'm not having these issues at all. Have you tried running the game with only this mod and Humanoid Alien Races loaded?

anyone else getting recruits that are just normal humans but their backstories say they are skeletons? Is this a common bug or are they actually supposed to be skeletons?

I am running into the same thing as aforgy18. I am using Rimworld 1.1 . Have tried mod order, clean installs , removing other mods. I have not found the source, though I believe the issue is a conflict with another mod in my case. I have got this message with 4 other races.

@aforgy18 Are you using RimWorld version 1.0 or 1.1?

My skeletons are purple squares lmao
