How do I get the Blood Spider suit? The suit disappears after unlocking it.

if not for kenshi 1 hope for epic horror mods in kenshi 2

Hey gamer. You still gonna update this? Is it the calm before the storm?

its 2025 :D

It's 2025. Hope it updates

it's 2024. hope it updates

Such a good concept! I hope it doesn't die out..

almost three years since last update. i hope the author is ok, even a hello would tell us anything has changed.

cool

how do i remove the head and shirt armor,after unlock the body armor i cant unlock the last two armor...

where do you find these parasites?

Awesome concept really. Would love to see this finished.

having them work like armor and shackles could be a neat idea in my mind, though certain people would have to react to them as if they were slaves, though maybe they could be viewed as hostile. maybe the reputation thing you got going on would work best im not really sure.

@four_feet_magic_monkey im not a programmer or anything so idk anything about the code but maybe you could explore the prospect of it being like "attachments" that take up the armor slots, like how you originally tried doing, they could work like shackles and the varying armor could represent the different tiers. obviously tier 1 could still wear normal armors but are controlled the queen. the rest have chitinous armor, maybe the legs could start at tier 3 and they offer certain benefits but they are prosthetics that lock on like when you accidentally put shackles on the first time. obviously the "hat" would be the shackles that enslave them but it doesnt have to be in the hat slot, it could also take up the feet slot.

@VoroNosal - I always like hearing feedback. There are issues/limits with the way Kenshi spawns NPCS so I cant do a body/race swap on an existing Human to hybrid but there are a few options.

though despite my opinions i couldnt figure out how to get more in the blood queen alive mod, the one where you play as a blood queen. I think my only complaint is how im confused that the blood queen needs is an animal, though i do understand why that is the case i just think it should have the ability to create the blood plague parasites somehow, i can imagine that once somehow is knocked out the blood plague spider can then attach itself causing damage to the head and destroying any headgear, the time the attachment would take would depend on the headgear, and once it is attached they become a slave to the blood queen and join your people.

really just an idea i was hoping for from this mod but im sure you know what your doing and will figure it out as you go, or maybe youve planned all this out lol. though i hope my feedback is helpful even if it isnt what you want to go for!

@four_feet_magic_monkey - im actually running this mod alongside the others you've mentioned! I liked the idea of evolution and even though the limbs in this mod act as limbs that can be removed I enjoy the idea of them being like prosthetics! i just think the problem would be fixed if the blood queen in this mod was a vendor the sold the legs. i think having to buy the limbs promotes sending out your blood plague things to bring back things you can sell to the queen in exchange for the limbs, like a dragon and its hoard!

@VoroNosal - This mod was never fully implemented the evolution was 'faked' by adding in replacement limbs in place of robotics. if you look at the 4, it has limbs you can remove which make up the legs. Due to time elapsed and the mess I left it in I've since started a reboot of this mod.

The two newer smaller mods in the reboot so far add the new (and improved) custom subrace of of humans - Hybrids that are actually modelled to have those legs and the second mod has the 'Blood Queen' start mod that lets you control a Queen hybrid and starts you off friendly to spiders and with a few hybrid helpers, new hybrids can be recruited if you lock them up and talk to them (they don't have any requirement beyond that).

All that said its still a work in progress but I wont be updating this version of the mod anymore, just adapting the features it had into a better series of smaller mods that build on each other.

how do they evolve? I start with a 4 and two 1's so how do the level 1's become tall and stuff with the legs

Where are they located at?

...How about now

@VERY_FLOOFY - I've been busy with work, basically I write program code for games and 3d model as a hobby, have for years, and a few months ago I was hired by a company to do both as a project lead so I havn't had time for Kenshi mods since then. When the project I'm working on is over I'll be able to update this again. :)

Is the mod still goin? Been some time since the last update

Tits on a spider....just when i thought i saw any and everything people could throw at this game, well done

What do you plan to add next update?

I dont know if anyone has said this but do you plan on adding lil spiders that can take over bodys or somthing like that? P.s great mod keep up the great work!!!

I think you should consider adding a dialogue lines for Miu (unique recrut in swamp that gets a panic attack every time she sees a blood spider) reacting on those. XD

This could make a nice horror mod for kenshi!

hey man, idk what to say but u made something incredible as ♥♥♥♥ here with alooottttt of potential, it looks incredible and i wish ya the very best with this
gj!

I've encountered plenty of quadruped blood spider parasites in the swamps but haven't seen any blood spider victims, where do they spawn?

cant wait to see were this will go :)

Ah I see, thank you for the response!

The parasite victims have their own unique skins, to do this they had to be added as a new human subrace (based off greenlander)

Kind of a silly question but I just want to make sure, is this considered a new race? Or is it compatible with the custom combat animations mod?

That standing parasite... makes me feel weird in my private parts.

In my mod, currently only Fred and Wilma can get Converted, my two test subjects.

You mod was the inspiration for an idea that it would be possible to create Cybermen, basically.

Throw a faction leader into a Peeler, come back a little later and find a Cyber'ed version read to join your squad. If they die elsewhere, the theory is that the Cybermen grabbed the body and upgraded the poor soul.

Posting it as a proof of concept for now, as maybe it might give you some ideas as well.

I still need to think some more on the mechanics of it and fiddle with it to get it working right.

@Mr.Kimidori - Glad you like it, recently I have been getting familiar with how buildings (and resident squads) work in Kenshi, I think I can definitely do something unexpected.

idk how he did that lol
from my understanding he made fogmen camps spawn all over the map and replaced them with his aliens, maybe you can find another mob to spawn and replace them with your parasite mobs and make them recruitable in a custom start like the deadhive rising mod, just an idea, i think itd make a good playthrough taking over the world like that, anyway good luck with your endeav

I totally love this, im the crazy kenshi player loves putting super hard and crazy things into the game, i actually just had a playthrough with deadhive rising combined with aliens, yes it was nearly imposible and i died in the first week lol but thats why i love this game, itd be cool if you could find a way to "infect" people but the fact i havent seen a feature like that in any other mod im sure its hard or impossible idk, id donate money but im poor af lol, but ill keep you on my mod list and i look forward to any updates you post
p.s. you might not have to make a mechanic like that but give the illusion its happening in world like the aliens mod kinda does, in that mod there are face hugers that spawn and can attach to

Would love to see them as a treat in the north along side the cannibal

would love to see this as a common threat in Kenshi

Nice!

I'm guessing if a unit can both eat a person and enslave a person, the eating overwrites everything else. Note there are no cannibal slaves. It's probably a limitation on the engine, as the devs would probably have allowed the cannibals to enslave people and then eat their slaves if they ran out of food if they were able to get it to work.

BUT: You can create two identical units: One set to eat and one set to enslave. So it will look like some of the faction members are enslaving and some are eating. Maybe.

Nice work, need a faction and faction leader !

Also, you can weight the Ai packages so they want to enslave more than eat people

@Four_feet_magic_monkey Ah, make's sense that is kinda what im doing for a zombie mod imma release in abit, enslave people so they are "zombies"

@just'cole111 - They should enslave people, and the 'parasite' is set to the slave uniform. But in my experience they just eat the the slaves, I need to refine it a bit.

Do these people infect people and turn them into this or what?

Thanks for the dreamy story.
Crawling on all fours has always been played like it, with a character edit of a gorilla-bandit-like posture!
I figured if it had a spider arm, it would refine its movements even further.

@oiguri -

I haven't decided on a spider arm prosthetic but its a definite possibility.

As for walking on all fours, Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to change walk cycle animations mid game without new custom animations and probably new skeletons. I can do that but it amounts to a huge amount of work to make it stand alone from the stock stuff.

Would it be cool yes, but I probably wont have time to do it all.
