EDIT: I got it. For anyone having the same Problem: You have to assign him in the Menu where you can edit the Nutrition.

Is there any way to Put more then just 16 animals inside it? I set 300 on settings but they wont put more then 16 inside of it.

Genius! I knew ive got the right mod :D

Oh the bug cocoons? Those are for restraining pawns without actually stopping health ticks so that things like chest busters still work. Made for bug colonies that need somewhere to store their err propagation medium

I think they mean the 3 pawns (of different sizes?) that look like they're being... hugged... by green tentacles.

What the settings?

sorry what is that last picture? :D

> Does the pawn skills matter?
Mostly no, it's an assembly line so skill is irrelevant; blessing and a curse. However a random "lead" pawn is chosen when an item is complete to be its creator and it triggers any normal code that would happen on completion.

> Do pawns gain skill experience at all?
It's plausible the lead pawn will get xp sometimes but it depends what's made and the leader is always random.

> Tips for using the menu
Errrr, have a bigger screen XD sorry, I'm dreadful at UI. It should work with dubs tho, I'll try and fix that when I have time.

follow up:

Uninstalling the Gene Fabrication mod made the factory Add Bill usable, as all the genes were showing up before.

I'm still trying to find out Dubs Mint Menu

I'm trying out the factory for the first time, and is there any more detailed information about it?

Does the pawn skills matter? Do pawns gain skill experience at all?

also are there any tips for using the Add Bill menu? There's too much stuff because of the other mods I have installed and Dubs Mint Menus aren't working with it to give me the scrollable/searchable stuff I am used to workstations.

I noticed that the options to use different textures isn't working. All of the textures show up weather or not the boxes are checked. Does the game need to be restarted for changes to take effect.

From what. A number of the storages such as statues intentionally never drop needs. Only the types of storage which feel like they should be sentient in them cause need drop

Using the "Release (pawn name)" key, as well as "Release all" buttons doesn't simulate pawn needs and they end up exiting in the same state they entered, even with the pawn needs dropping option being turned on.

It just takes anything you put in the hoppers as long as it’s a nutrition giving ingestible regardless of if it’s selected in the farms or not.

Seems strange the farms cant use hay for nutrition

I love this! It'd be great to have a smaller version of the Factory, like a little 2x2 or 3x3 workshop that holds 1-4 people.

@Taggerung Ok. I'll make a full-er report there.

is it only with certain animals? Maybe it’s crashing out trying to create a new one for some reason. Either way this is way too complex for a steam comment thread. Make a github issue if possible and include example animals screenshots and a log if possible and I’ll have a dig around

An example message (just got one in-game) is:
"Storage Breeding Domes (filled) is full, so Pink lizard 1 was ejected"

Pink Lizard is from the RainWorld mod.

@Taggerung Sometimes (i guess most of the time) the breeding dome will give a message and say "Breeding Dome was full, [animal name] was ejected" and it'll automatically eject the animal.

So if it gets stuck at 100%, it doesn't auto-eject them. That's the problem I was trying to describe.

Also, as much as I like the option for auto-slaughter, if you're breeding animals that take a while to gestate, it's not such a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion though.

This is just from memory but iirc in the breeding domes they won't breed if there's no space for them. You can set up auto-slaughter though which will leave you some space in the domes for newborns

Sometimes the breeding chambers get stuck at 100% progress and do not continue. They do not eject animals, nor reset the progress count. I have to eject the animals, put all of them except one, then eject the newborn animal (along with every other animal).

Also, I wish there was a button for the breeding chambers to eject animals one by one, like the Battery Farms have (the white arrow in the Production tab). Instead, my only options are Eject Animals (all animals are forced out) or Release Animals (all animals leave the chamber)

Apologies if it's a mod conflict I'm not aware of.

I think you might just get one.

do the farms produce milk and wool? ive got some animals in there that should produce both but its only outputting wool

Will do!

If you haven’t you could report it on the other mod too, they might have a more competent UI person XD

Kay, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one dealing with that! At least I got RimHUD that's able to set a particular schedule thing at the hour of the day for the pawn to help in the meantime. Though being able to fix that UI issue would be a great thing whenever your collab partner can get around to it.

Lostdragon already reported that. It's irritating, you pretty much hard code a place on the ui for the buttons. Idk how to avoid this in the general case, I'm horrible at UI work. My collaborator said he'd have a look when he had time.

Bit of an issue with the schedule select when using this mod with Exosuit Framework, trying to set my pawn to use the pilot schedule option for operating an Exosuit, but when I click it it instead select's your home option instead. Guess it's just a UI issue that I need another mod to help fix with?

It’s meant to be all recipes but with obvious nonsense cut out like surgeries. The lack of components is because of how those recipes get registered with the game. I can add in that category now I know it’s missing

I have a question about the factory, are the bills that it can process limited? or is there a limit to the number of options that the list of bills can hold?

I wanted to have use a factory to make components and other similar items but when I checked the list of bills I couldn't find components or advanced components on it at all. I do have a bunch of other mods installed that are adding a lot of other items so I'm not sure if it's that or if the factory restricts what items can be made.

I counted the number of bills that are shown in my factory right now and it has 409 possible bills.

Hmm I guess 1.6 must have changed something about how they are ticked

I have had one issue, I put a bug in someone, then put them in the wall cocoon and they just say there, the bug never gets further down the line of growing.

It turns out that this mod somehow breaks pawn generation for the Hierarchy in VFE: Empire. As soon as I removed it the hierarchy started populating properly.

@Taggerung Thank you soo much! I love this mod <3

Oh, I see. I got confused by the settings on the buildings for foodstuff. Apologies!

We’ve never had any other options

Idk what you mean about the settings? Paste networks and hoppers are the only ways you can feed them

The hoppers seem to work again. Cannot add nutrition without it, despite using any settings on the actual buildings.

I forgot to mention that I am still on a 1.5 modlist. Also yes, looks like the exosuit framework itself updated for 1.6 (still has 1.5 support).

Has Exosuits updated to 1.6, or are you on 1.5? I've been waiting on Exosuits for other things. Will check out the issue though.

Seem to have a minor compatibility issue with Exosuit Framework. Its "pilot" scheduling button and this one's "home" button are on the same spot, technically. I can't set anyone to be at "home" during their schedules.

I don't know enough to do on my end to tweak it. If it was possible to, I'd like to push one or both over or find another workaround.

Nothing is technically broken. I can still send people home into their doors/hatches, etc. but the scheduling was very helpful.

I think that's sorted it now

I am also having issues feeding. Tried paste, tried hopper, tried even using dev commands.

Also, having the same issues as @SirMalFet & @drama llama hm. Gonna unsub and then resub. Then verify files.

@SirMalFet Me too! Animals are breeding fine in the domes but just not eating anything lol. I tried putting the domes in an animal pen but that's not working either.

I ended up removing all mods and left just this one, but now the kibble disappears immediately after my pawn loads to hoppers and they're still starving lol.

I have a bug somewhere, probably a mod conflict. The mod is not using the farm hoppers. Animals inside start starving and get released. And then they eat the food on the hoppers! I have tried connecting the hoppers on all four sides of both the breeders and the farms. Maybe a conflict with another mod? I am using Niilo's QoL, Vanilla Animals Expanded, and Reel's Expanded Storage. There is nothing useful on the logs.

It’s sort of a simplification. We had them be storage in the past but swapping back simplified a lot of bits. It can’t whine about not being connected to a pipenet if it _is_ a pipenet. All credit to keyz on the refactor I just reviewed it

@taggering Thanks for your update. I updated the mod.(sub/unsub)
ANd your update did work for me. I only got the battery farm right now.
It seems to act as a Nutrient paste storage? Dont know if this is the fix or it was like that before. But thanks either way for saving space on my ship.And fixing the crash

@Realm Imp they're called "breeding domes" for a reason.
