Do you know how this interacts with the mod, Xenotype Spawn Control? There, you can set the xenotype % chance of each pawnkind, including creepjoiners. Is it just a matter of which mod loads first/second, or would one supercede the other?

Hello IPN, that's an interesting mod. So I created a mod "Integrated Creep Joiners_zh" that adds a Chinese translation for your mod and published it on the workshop. Thank you for your contribution! Keep on keeping on!

Thanks for looking into it, their patch for romance also can be turned off, so hopefully isn't too big of a problem. But maybe you can disable it by default when your mod is loaded or have your mod recognize the setting. Actually not sure what else might be overlapping, I mostly use it as it has a few nice QoL changes.

@-=GOW=-Dennis If your game is not immediately crashing upon loading both mods, then most likely your game won't break. You might want to check to see if compatibility is being calculated properly between creeps and non-creeps, and also between two creeps and two non-creeps.

I'll take a look this weekend to see if there's any hidden incompatibilities, as it seems there are a few things their mod does that overlaps with mine.

Is it problematic when two mods patch the creepjoiner romance thing? I have Anomaly Patches mod (https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3242000764) which has a setting for such patch as well, but seemingly Integrated Creep Joiners does not recognize it being active and as of the logs also patches it.

@Gumdrop Buttons There is a section on what the mod adds. This mod primary makes it so creeps can interact with Biotech by showing up as xenotypes, being able to do romances and have kids, etc. In a typical playthrough, that's all this mod will do for you.

The new creeps are half as common as the default creeps and primarily take some content from Ideology or Royalty. There's also one sanguophage creep to provide another avenue for acquiring sanguophages. I'm not really interested in releasing a full list because the overall exposure in a typical playthrough is very low, and it ruins the mystery of it. The xml is all there if you want to poke around yourself.

I am extremely invested in vanilla balance and aesthetic, and do not like to use very many mods at all. Take that as you will.

Is there a list of what this adds anywhere? A lot of "vanilla-like" stuff tends to be quite imbalanced in my experience and I'm hesitant to install it without looking at the actual features first.

@健太郎大冒险 Thank you!

hi i just want to stop by and say thank you for your mods. Both this one and the vanilla xenotype improved are the best xenotype/creepjoiner addition/tweak mod. Both have great in-game balance and a vanilla taste that suits the lore.

@Cringe Shaymin Fixed now.

@Victor That mod seems to do the same thing this mod does in adding creep romance. Rather than add a compatibility patch, I've flagged it as incompatible.

Currently this mod throws errors if you use it alongside HAR dev, it seems like the patches to make it work nicely only take effect with regular HAR.

I got the "[Integrated Creep Joiners] No creep romance mods detected. Patching creep romance." on startup even though I have Creep Joiners Romance Patch https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3340128104

wait nvm it was a vanilla upside

SO I JUST GOT A DEALMAKER WITH ALL STATS ABOVE 9 GOING UP TO 18 IS THAT A PART OF THIS MOD???

Thank you for making this!

Would it be possible to fork a “lite” version that just enables creeps to do romance?

I was hoping you can do it or tell another modder to make this mod idea I had...but if you don't want to do it that is fine...I just thought it would be cool and you can do it....but I am glad you said its possible! :)

@LifeIsAbxtch It sounds possible and probably isn't too complicated, but is outside the scope of this mod since this mod is more about allowing creeps to integrate with the other DLC. There is a mod commissions discord if you want to hire someone to make it for you.

yes create more of this! Actually IPN I have a question can you make a mod were we can make our own creepjoiner events were our own custom made creepjoiners can spawn to our colony when the event is started...? Love your Work! :)

Is there a spoiler list somewhere of what stuff does? I have a few "Twisted Digestion" pawns for years now and still have no idea what that means.

Yeah, I'm doing the devtest 1000x pawns I guess something is sneaking in

@moo Adding to the below, utilizing the 1000x test pawn generation, I got 992 pawns generated at <10ms and 7 generated at <20ms. I got no errors. Repeating this four more times had similar results. There is either a quirk in how you are running the test, or you have a mod that randomly adds creeps into pawn generation.

@moo What is the exact method you're using to spawn 1000 pawns? Regular pawn generation shouldn't attempt to generate creeps unless asked to.

Haven't touched the settings.
Regular pawns x1000

@moo Do you have the setting for allowing creep children enabled when testing that? Also, was this attempting to spawn 1000 creeps or 1000 regular pawns?

Hi. This mod may contribute to pawngen issues, as it threw this error when devtesting spawning 1000x pawns.

"Tried 300 times to generate age for summer child"

I then pulled this mod out for testing and generated over 1000 pawns and no pawngen issue in the log.

This was driving me crazy, finally narrowed it down to this mod too. Thanks for the quick fix!

Thank you!

Oh, I was curious seeing that too. Nice find

Thanks for the quick fix!

@xternz and @salt_babe Fixed

Hello there, I love your mod, sadly I have the same problem as salt_babe. After I trimed my modlist to find the source, yours was the one who made dev mode give me : Exception filling window for Verse. ImmediateWindow: System.MissingMethodException: void
LudeonTK.DebugActionAttribute..ctor(string, string, bool, bool, bool, bool, bool, int, bool)

If I can provide anything like my github logs that would help you to fix this, let me know!

Clicking buttons on top of the screen to open dev mod UI throwing red errors and you can't open it.
I tested only with this mod and Harmony in 1.5

Thank you

@Spürgelwürg That's a 1.6 change that probably accidentally migrated backwards into 1.5. I'll get it fixed.

Thanks :)

I'm still on 1.5 but I don't think you can parse <favoriteColor >red</favoriteColor>
it needs an RGB or RGBA values. like (1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

@Wednesday Should be fixed now

@IPN Here it is
https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/95df32b10ff5d8f1d1d7de16787272d1

@IPN Thanks for replying, I dug a little deeper and managed to isolate the issue. I could reproduce it with only this mod and Big and Small framework
I'll try to send a log later

@Wednesday. Cannot replicate. Try redownloading the mod. If that doesn't work, it's possible there's a mod conflict.

I'm still getting the 1.6 error msg

Error in static constructor of IntegratedCreepJoiners.Patcher: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'IntegratedCreepJoiners.Patcher' threw an exception. ---> HarmonyLib.HarmonyException: Patching exception in method System.Single RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker::SecondaryLovinChanceFactor(Verse.Pawn otherPawn) ---> System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in (wrapper dynamic-method) MonoMod.Utils.DynamicMethodDefinition:RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker.SecondaryLovinChanceFactor_Patch1 (RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker,Verse.Pawn): IL_0021: call 0x0000000b

Posted a 1.6 error log for this mod in discussions

@Auld Fixed.

@IPN No problem man, looking forward to the update. Thanks.

@Cameroon I haven't updated it yet. Working on my mods sometime this week. Should have them ready for 1.6 just in time for Odyssey to break them again

Has anyone tested if this is working on 1.6?

Hello, i got an error on startup.
Here is my entire log: https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/e69bda51b8a75c83d1127b3d53f95776

here is the error in question
Error in static constructor of IntegratedCreepJoiners.Patcher: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'IntegratedCreepJoiners.Patcher' threw an exception. ---> HarmonyLib.HarmonyException: Patching exception in method System.Single RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker::SecondaryLovinChanceFactor(Verse.Pawn otherPawn) ---> System.InvalidProgramException: Invalid IL code in (wrapper dynamic-method) MonoMod.Utils.DynamicMethodDefinition:RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker.SecondaryLovinChanceFactor_Patch1 (RimWorld.Pawn_RelationsTracker,Verse.Pawn): IL_0021: call 0x0000000b


rest of the error can be found in the github link, didnt want to split this error in multiple comments.

I'm experiencing an issue where setting "Allow Creepjoiner Romance" to disabled causes ALL romance to be disabled, with the RomanceChanceFactor for all relationships set to 0.00. It seems to happen consistently, even when no other mods are enabled.

looking through the code, twisted digestion prevents the negative mood from eating twisted meat

What does twisted digestion do?
