Hello everyone!

I made some quality of life fixes from the reported bugs. Hopefully this will be more vanilla for Kenshi, and I am grateful for everyone's support!

If I figure out how I import meshes into Kenshi again, I'm going to re-make the weapons I implemented. Consider it a remaster of the vision I had before i went on my Hiatus.

I’m sorry that development has stopped, and I’m sorry that none of those who know how to make mods for Kenshi have ever solved the problem with the Hive Queen. No matter what I do, she never returns to the Hive, and I also can’t recruit her. Thank you for this mod, Chicken Master. Thanks to all the modders who provided translations and animation mods for it. In the end, I’d like to draw some kind of conclusion, but it turns out too sad. Good luck to everyone in the boundless expanses of the Kenshi world.

Is it normal that when I freed the queen, she just walked away and nothing happened?

@Chicken Master. I've created a patch between this mod and Limb and Decapitation Overhaul, which uses my dummy mod Princess of Cute Hive ALL EXPANDED to supply unique severed limbs to all affected Hivers, to allow the user to craft new Organic Replacement Limbs skinned to match the races that the severed limbs are supplied from. I needed to combine the metal part from Limb and Decapitation Overhaul's hiver texture with each affected Hiver mods to achieve this, but to function as expected it needs characters from each hiver mod to supply the severed limbs for crafting.

If you do not want your textures included, please let me know (either here or on this linked mod) and I will remove it from the distribution.

@Chicken Master. I'm going to be putting together a Mogwai Hive Overhaul patch for most, if not all, the modded Hive strains. Is it alright with you if I include your body texture (the one that Worker, Prince, and Soldier use) in it to work with the race I'll create to match Mogwai's Hive Queen [Alternate]?

Added support for a lot of animations:

Your Bluemen hivers have been a joy, and thank you so much for the creation! Almost feel like they are truly a part of the little world of Kenshi, with the rest of the hivers~

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've updated this mod.

This mod has been my pride and joy. It has opened me to many business operations in 3D modeling. It's my baby.

I have had so many life related situations pop up, and I can no longer update this mod. If for whatever reason, you would like to continue my work, message me on discord: therealhagan

I'd be more than happy to see your previous work. And maybe we can work on something to get the ball rolling! Have a great start of the year guys!

does this add blue hive praetorians

For everyone prob' stopping by to figure out where the queen is, here's the hint.
ARK

Hi, do you think you can move Tremble a bit away from its current location? it overlaps Mao's Tower from Free Hive mod and if you plan on expanding the faction in the future it may be best to move it.

I think that Flint issue was a one-off, though I thought I'd let you know that Flint & Steel aren't flagged as unique recruits. I've got 2 already in my party and there's a 3rd one that's spawned in now. I know you likely aren't monitoring it, but it's good to know if you ever want to come back to it :)

Flint seems to be causing an instant crash for me atm whenever I assign him to bodyguard/follow someone. I am asking him to do it inside a modded swamp town called "Root" so I'll try it once more when I'm not in the swamps.

Been searching all over stobes garden.....imported twice.....can we have the actual location with a spoiler block on it??

Man I searched almost all of the Stobe garden, and still can’t find her. Maybe I missed a spot? Can you give me a tip?

Any news for the Blue Gang?

what is the shader?

is it compatible With hives epanded?

Also I assigned Flint to be my crossbow crafter... until I realized he had no crafting animations whatsoever for some reason. What's up with that? O.o

Nice. I noticed though that they currently cost more than they claim they cost. Like Flint asks for 3k for both of them but then you get up and have to pay another $1500 for Steel anyways. Or if you 'negotiate' him down it has no effect because it ends the conversation anyways. xD I settled over in Shem so these two were conveniently nearby to grab tho! :D

Yes! They are a WIP.

Did this add Flint and Steel as unique recruits to Shark?

so i found the queen but she wont follow me. is she supposed to

Thanks!

The remade area is gorgeous and was a welcome addition.

Thank you oh so much for this and the work you put into it.

Hello friend, can you somehow get only a race, without buildings and factions?

As I've said before in the bug report discussion folder, there is only so much you can do with the engine, and I have not reached a point where she will return to the throne. I'll definitely work on that when I get the time. Thank you for your input

Hm. Can't put her in the throne. Or bedrolls nearby. And Caeser doesn't realize i got her with me.

Found her, but she was hostile even after wiping out all enemies nearby and freeing her. So, knocked her out. Took a eastern hive rep dump - healed her up and restored rep with the hive. Then took her back to the throne. Nothing happens - shes peaceful now, but no new dialog or quest completion triggers that I see, and she just roams the region blindly swimming and going into the wilderness. Do I have to place her directly into the throne?

She is nearby stobe's garden. If she's not there, your best bet is to import the game as the mod does have game changing mechanics.

Been searching for the queen for a week and i am worried i may have a mod conflicts and she just has not spawned at all. Kinda getting exhausted looking for her. I have went all the way to Cat lon's throne, I can't really go any further "south east" - searched crab bandits, reavers, ancient workshop, etc. Can we get a better hint? Or a spoiler note?

Ok, so after using this mod i can no long trader with any hive traders. It dont seem to matter what hive i go to. I am running UWE and Genesis. I disabled your mob and was able to speak with all the traders. I also down loaded your patchs. Any idea how to fix this? I have not save the blue queen yet, so not sure if that will matter or not.

Blue men? being Fogmen or new hive race?

Thanks

You might find some luck looking in the south eastern regions of kenshi

Oh very lore friendly. Can you throw a bone on what area the Queen is stuck in?

Caesar is xenophobic to anyone that isn't apart of the eastern hivers. In order to properly talk to Caesar, recruit an eastern hiver or add the "recruitable prisoners" addon mod I made for this mod).

Playing as a Hive Prince and talked to Caesar. Wanted to find the Queen but tells me "Cousin, I got a Hive to run" or something like that and that's the end of that.

He will be at the queen's hive hut.

caesar wheres his location ? thank you

That might be because you have to complete the mission (Saving the eastern queen) in order to trade with them. Talk to Caesar for more info on that.

hi, i tried to buy with a human, and still no option to buy. its the eastern hive near the slave traders on the right desert area where fishmen use to be

Hello! Be sure to check out the bug report discussion for additional help!

I don't believe gurglers are supposed to talk to eatern hivers solely because they are more animal based than human based.

hello , i am a gurgler and i canot trade with eastern hive

was just checking if everything worked as intended, was hoping to avoid having to import

They should be allowed to trade with humans. Stop by the bugs report if you have any details on the matter!

is it supposed to be so that the traders dont trade with humans?

Thanks!

Very cool mod, I think the blue looks great on the Hivers.
