@Yxklyx Correct, this only prevents natural infestation events. However, adding a function to prevent the other types of infestations is something I'm willing to consider adding.

Bummer - it doesn't protect against Too Deep infestation.

Does this work against wastepack infestations? Mod looks great!

Thanks alot for 1.6!

Absolute chad. Thank you so much!

Much obliged! :)

@CrazyFreak I have updated this for compatibility in 1.6 now. Thank you all for the reminder

Would absolutely love to see this updated to 1.6!

I've heard good things about this mod, would you be inclined to update this to 1.6? It would be greatly appreciated.

This is great mod and I wish I can use this mod in 1.16.

I'd love a reskin to the actual hl2 thumper :D

Is this configurable?

Further testing, seems to generally work, though they can sometimes appear within the area, the origin point is not within, but seems to prevent spawning of any of additional bugs? May be an unrelated issue, can't be sure

Preliminary testing; infestations are still blocked (does clump em up nearby, but that's fine and they are not in the area), but Large Infestations are not (these only spawn at the map edge, akin to a normal raid). I am having an unrelated issue with insectoids 2 insects not spawning, so trying to sort that out, should have more info when that is done

I'll try run a test soon then, before I commit to getting them up in a long term colony :D

@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK I have not tested out the mod with Insectoids Expanded 2. I have not been actively developing the mod lately, but if you end up testing this out do let me know the results!

Out of curiosity, is this compatible with insectoids expanded 2?

Doesn't work for me unfortunately, still get infestations, I can only presume it's due to Vanilla insects expanded as that's the only other mod I have that touches on infestations. Just a heads up to anyone else who may encounter this.

thank you very much.. <3
but somehow the Thumper mod doesn't work for me.. even apart from the RimFactory.. unfortunately I don't know what the problem is :/ ....

@Justfly Thank you for reporting the conflict. I will update to include compatibility for the Rimfactory mod.

hey.. it dont work with the Rimfactory mod..
If the drills dig too deep, insects come... could you adjust that? That would be very nice... <3

@Nairagorn Thank you for reporting the bug. Are you able to provide a list of the mods you are running? Or a link to a collection with all of your mods? I am trying to track down the culprit.

I just had an infestation pop up right next to my mega thumper. I don't see anything in the console that mentions this mod (beyond that i have no idea what i'm looking at). I am using a bunch of other mods but not any that mess with infestations or insectoids

@Doc Cams Thank you for reporting. Did you happen to have anything appear in the console screen?

had infestations of 20hives right beside the thumper. hmmm
i dont have any other mod that interfere with hive spawn except for vanilla expanded mods

@Daimyo I have not added any compatibility for Better Infestations, but you can give it a try, and depending on whether that mod changes the default infestation check system, it may still work. If you do try it feel free to let me know how it goes.

Does this work against Better Infestations mod?

no, the main error that filled up the log was something about quality builder and some other mod blueprint complaining about not working together
As for stuff like VFE insectoids, im not a big fan of the insects (hence the thumper xD) so i havent installed any insect related mods and generally stay far away from them, especially VFE insectoids

@1kili2 Hmm I see. Was there an error with the other mods you have that might interfere? If you have vanilla-expanded insectoids then there might be another compatibility issue I didnt patch for.

i copied the log and read it with the rimpy log analyzer but couldnt find anything relating to the thumper or insects, no sure if it got cut off though cause the log itself had said it stopped reporting to avoid spam....

@1kili2 Thanks for the update. So far I havenbt been able to replicate the issue. Did you happen to get the data from the log?

i may have a slight update/extra information, it happened again earlier but while i left the game running in the background, im not comepletely sure about the first time but i might also have left it running in the background that time

goodluck! like i said my colony was fine for 7 years though so im not sure how easy to reproduce this is, if i had to guess some outlier case in rocketman trying to speed stuff up and in doing so the infestation could slip through.

If it happens again i'll make sure to grab the error log to see if theres anything in there

@1kili2 Thank you for compiling a list of mods! I'll do some investigating to see if I can replicate the issue.

Probably way too many though not that much if any that should interact with insect spawn behaviours

maybe interferes:
-mountain rarities
-No debris on smoothed floors
-pathfinding framework
-raise the roof 1.5
-vanilla events expanded
-rocketman

dont think it should but they might:
-vanilla expanded framework
-xml extensions (highly doubt this one but not fully sure on what all it does and doesnt have access to)
-construct vanilla rock walls
-TDS Bug Fixes
-Dynamic Flooding
-faster smoothing
-[FSF] FrozenSnowFox Tweaks

@1kili2 What kind of mods are you running? Ive had a couple other people say the same thing, so im wondering if there's another mod out there that is causing this issue.

while ive gone 7 in game years without a problem i just got an insect infestation right next to a big thumper, no power issues or solar flare currently going on, is this just a very rare possibility or did something go wrong?

@kongkim @Sekh Thank you for the reports. I could not replicate this error but I believe I have still found a way to fix it. I have updated the mod with the new fix. Let me know if you still get the error.

can confirm, same error as kongkim, don't know if it's mostly "cosmetic" though.

Hi @VicyX
Get this error when i activate the mod :)

@nedsin Thanks for the reminder! The mod has been updated to support the new 1.5 update.

Hey, any chance for an 1.5 update on this awesome QOL mod?

I like it, seems like a fair way avoid the complete obliteration of your mountain base =)

@VicyX Thx would love an update on it :)
And keep up the good work.

@kongkim Thank you for revealing this issue to me. I agree that the clipping can get annoying. I'll see if I can fix the issue, if not then i'll think up some new designs for the mega thumper.

Still think its a good mod, but really would like that the large one was not that high. its often make clipping errors like this.

Will do! This is a great mod after all <3

@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK Yep, that could most likely be the reason. If you run into any more problems in the future let me know!

On every other pawn in my colony it was just -3 or -4

Thank you for the option!
I assume it's due to how that pawn is at 500% consciousness, with most other stats at over 1000%?
