So the issue persists 2 months later, but it seems that cleaning worldpawns with RuntimeGC is what causes the error messages. No idea with the corpse thing though.

Turns out reloading doesn't fix it. The images of the rats are gone, but it still throws the error.

Got a bit of an issue. The corpse seems to remain even after the corpse is removed (confusing, I know) and it constantly throws this error:

World pawn Rat_T222220 has been discarded while still being a world pawn. This should never happen, because discard destroy mode means that the pawn is no longer managed by anything. Pawn should have been removed from the world first.
Verse.Log:Error(String, Boolean)
RimWorld.Planet.WorldPawns:WorldPawnsTick()
RimWorld.Planet.World:WorldTick()
Verse.TickManager:Verse.TickManager.DoSingleTick_Patch4(TickManager)
Verse.TickManager:TickManagerUpdate()
Verse.Game:Verse.Game.UpdatePlay_Patch2(Game)
Verse.Root_Play:Update()

Reloading the save seems to fix the issue. RuntimeGC doesn't seem to fix the error when cleaning worldpawns.

yeah no this mod is a mess i made in one afternoon i don't have any idea how i'd fix that

Loading a save that has hostile rats on the map seems to break their AI. They just wander around like normal rats (with guns).

My bad, you are totally right. Once I got more wealthy they are raiding, thank you!

hehe :)

the rats take up a lot of raid points maybe they can't attack that early in the game; i just ran tests right now and the rats showed up fine

Great idea! However, they dont seem to raid. Ive played for a full 2 months on a world where it only has the armed rats faction and nothing has happened. I dont have many mods installed either, anyone else have this problem?

would you consider making glockroaches? I need more weird chaos in my rimworld!

O GOD O ♥♥♥♥ THAT RAT HAS A ASSAULT RIFLE O GOD O ♥♥♥♥.

I agree with masked.
Rarr should play with this mod.

when you just tryin to use D2 extract

hit em with a rat attack!

Rarr MUST play with this mod !

thanks hopefully this helps

this seems to be the latest version currently:

ah it might be treating them as pawns, i havent learnt about pawns and factions yet, but there is an Advanced animal framework mod which i think the minions mod uses, and they were halfway between an animal, and a semi-automated member of your colony (that would be on your side, but you could install them weapons etc)

for example here:

(with part 2 there too)

modding this has given me issues, aparently they don't count as animals anymore, probably becuase i made them have guns

actually, if the rats drop the gun too, then it could be a cool way to spice up the game, by having a risk and reward as well :)

and might work well with another mod on workshop that requires a rat to be installed into a cryo device

hehe, when the base needs some Rat-a-tat-tat, have a rat which can attack :)

its named after my noita mod "rat attack" which fills the game with rats with wands

New name idea: Planet of the Rats lol sorry.
