Just want to say I HAVE been using this on 1.4 with no issue, for anyone who glances here.

@monticore162 I'm not maintaining this mod anymore. Instead, I have combined this one and my other insect mod into a bigger and better mod, Improved Insectoids: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2558673720 .
Improved Insectoids is compatible with both 1.2 and 1.3. Use that instead of this one. It doesn't nerf the trainabilities of insects either.

needs an update as it now nerfs the trainability of insects

Combine this mod and any of your favorite wild animal breeding mod to get absolute hell anywhere insects touch! Cheers

@turkler I see; thanks for informing me, but I won't be doing anything about it.
I don't have rimjobworld and I'm not interested in downloading it for obvious reasons. Plus, rimjobworld already has its own egg-laying system for insects, as you just said, so if you have rimjobworld there's no need to use this mod.

fyi if you have rjw this mod will break as rjw already has egg laying support for insects

Good to know.

Had to manually delete the mod for Steam to update, but it fixed it! Cheers!

TL;DR: there was a little typo and I removed it, but I don't know if that solved the problem because it worked fine for me even with the typo. It'd be great if you could re-check to see if the error isn't produced anymore now, thanks

Hmm, I had a look at it. There was a little extra text after the <xpath> tag; that might have been the source of the problem. But even then, I couldn't reproduce the error you got and it seemed to run just fine for me using the modlist you mentioned, so I don't know if your problem has been fixed.

If it hasn't been fixed and still shows the error, make sure you're using the correct mod load order:
1. Harmony
2. Core
3. Royalty
4. Other mods (including this one)
Loading this mod (or any mod other than Harmony) before Core or Royalty can cause problems. Also, you don't even need Harmony if this is the only mod you're using, since it doesn't rely on Harmony.

Got a error running just this mod along with Harmony, Core and Royalty:

If the URL breaks, it's pastebin vEDuyVne

Glad to hear it.

YES ! This won't cure my crippling madness of always taming all the megaspiders i can, but it will lessen it once i have a male and female.

Haha, thanks. I honestly learnt it faster than I expected, but parts of it are still quite hacky. Am working on fixing those though :D

Looks good man! Nice xpath patching code. My first was a hack compared. :)
