Updated to 1.6. Sorry for the delay, life got super busy and wasn't on Rimworld for a while.

1.6？

worm

haha, no problem! glad i could help.

@mayo I really appreciate you letting me know!

Was indeed a mistake and is now fixed. Thanks for the help.

hey, just thought i'd let you know that the lifestages for Takala are configured incorrectly; the Preteen Takala lifestage is replaced with the Preteen lifestage from your Gerzee mod, which i do not have installed. i assume this is a mistake so i just wanted to let you know!

XD

Legends tell of a Takala subspecies formed from combining their genes with Boomalopes.... they are the "Boomshakalaka"....

Thanks!

The size is a bit intended in that they're just tiny, but also making weapons scale to their size is way outside my zone of skill (or willingness to risk messing up people's games with iffy code).

I like these guys. Don't know if it's intended but I find it funny seeing these guys show up as enemies and their weapon is bigger than their own body

Takala updated for biotech, specifically children compatibility.

Updated to 1.5

Oh I totally thought I replied way back when. I imagined wrapping it around or tying it off, in case another pawn needs to use both pant legs.

Rimworld always had a weird aspect of that small skinny child and that huge towering wall of an adult still wearing the same tshirt just fine.

I feel like scarf is the only type of clothes that they can wear somewhat normally.

Oh, another thought, in Biotech children do need specialized clothing.

I like the thought of alien fashion, how an individual decides to show off their personality - even if that's just how utilitarian that individual may be - such as how they might put a second pant leg (tear it off? Cut it cleanly and sew the hole up? Tie it around them?) or shirt sleeves (tuck inside out? Wrap around the neck like a scarf?). Interesting to think of for the characters in my colony.

But if ya have any ideas of what you might like to see, please feel free to suggest!

The thought was that clothing doesn't make much sense for their homeworld (slithering through dense jungles etc), but does make sense for fitting in with the human worlds. And since both children and huge adults can all wear the same shirt in Rimworld mechanics, I figured the Takala could pull it off too (with them just tying the unused pant leg around the waist etc).

One things that I think kind of sticks out is probably clothes. I think it's a bit weird from lore point of view for them to suddenly start wearing t-shirts and such, conidering they have somewhat protective layer of scales. Not to mention it looks kinda weird. :p

@BenDJaminUT

It will be a bit, but some minor items seem right to make at some point. ....a bionic head might be in order, now that I think about it. Maybe different types that help different roles. Hmmmm

Thanks for the compliments yall! <3

Very creative I love it

This mod looks really great! I like the story that you have for this species. Anatomy is really unique. I wonder if any race-specific technology or items are planned in near future

@brightsideguy Yes, thanks!

like this is one of the few truly ALIEN-looking aliens on the workshop ive seen imo

I love your race mods ngl, they're so ALIEN please make more

Axuluvia Does this one work? If not, the workshop page for Humanoid Alien Races also has a link

@brightsideguy This race is really nifty, I love ones that are very different then humans. It says the discord link from May has expired, could you post another? Thanks

run = playthrough, i meant using save our ship 2 to drop down and abduct tribals
UNFORTUNATELY, save our ship 2 isnt out for 1.4 but now ive updated to 1.4 and can actually use this

Whats an alien abduction run?

And glad to hear you're enjoying them!

This mod is wonderful, I'm going to use them as the starter guys in my alien abduction run with save our ship 2.

<3

Love these guys so far!

@obsedian I'd be super down to have a chat about designing aliens / how I went about developing this one. You can find me and my lil channel in the Rimworld Alien Races discord (its owned HAR creator and its where a lof of the race modders hang; https://discord.gg/FEkyv4sV) .

Thought these were those graboids from the Tremor movies tbh
Great details though

I love that you actually put thought into their lore and they're unlike any other race I've seen written about. I had stopped using HAR and alien races since I was given Biotech but this may convince me to grab it again, just to see these beasts ingame.

If you are interested, I'd love to chat with you sometime about designing alien races. I enjoy creating species, and I'd love to hear what you have to say.

@shadowstalker They are permanently gone once destroyed.

Lore-wise, the ones who manage to live through losing all their scales are probably scary. So if you see one of those raiding your base, uh, look out.

@Jorgie Yes, this is Combat Extended compatible.

Question is there a way to replace said scales or their permanently gone? Cause if they are permanently gone imma make a danger noodle child soldiers; infinite humanoid shields!

Here is the obligatory question.... does it work with Combat Extended? Looks sick as hell and wanna add these guys

Update: Enemy Takala pawns now show up missing some scales if they're battle-worn fighters. Raider faction now enabled.

Cursed worm?

worm?

This is extremely cursed

Favorited !!

These are neat and I am going to try them out! I think they'll be a wonderful addition to my Rimworld games. Love it!
