Finally a ♥♥♥♥♥♥' mod that adds more flesh mutations. Now my cult can actually get properly going, thanks mate.

Inside the ModMetaData node

This mod doesn't have anomaly listed in the about.xml. It made a fun adventure for me when I tried to remove anomaly, and this wasn't automatically flagged.
For the about.xml add in:

"The basic serum is free to use, as it can only produce what the Twisted Obelisk is already capable of. The advantage to mutating the limbs in this manner are twofold: you can choose what limb/organ you want, and you don't have to wait for a cooldown from the Twisted Obelisk between uses."

"The advanced tier requires the use of a Shard during the operation. As a result, the mutations gained from this tier are more powerful overall because each one costs a Shard to create. If that price seems steep, reserve judgement until I explain what each mutation does."

It says "The advanced tier requires the use of a Shard during the operation" key word "operation"
operation = surgery, so no you can not get it from the obelisk.

can you get the advanced mutations from the obelisk, like normal mutations or am i just missing something in the mod description?

You forgot to put a loadAfter Anomaly in the About.xml

@SAUCE__GODD

At the moment, no. But, that is a feature I've been considering for a future update. No promises, I'm not 100% sure how to go about adding them to cultists yet. However, it is on my list of potential future features :)

Nice work, will cultists spawn with these implants?

Awesome! and thank you for making such an awesome mod.

@Azavit

Updated. Thanks for the report.

@Azavit

Looking at the line in question within my own xml, that appears to be from the Spinelauncher Tentacle's graphic data, which I had previously copied from the Flesh Whip in base Anomaly. Looking at Flesh Whip, Flesh Whip now uses "<useBodyPartAnchor>true</useBodyPartAnchor>", so it looks like that replaced "<useHediffAnchor>true</useHediffAnchor>". I'll test swapping the offending line. If it works, then I will push an update.

This mod is throwing up an error when ran with just this mod and it's prerequisites:

XML error: <useHediffAnchor>true</useHediffAnchor> doesn't correspond to any field in type DrawData.

From the: Hediffs_BodyParts_MaleficusMutations.xml file.

nice! cuz this mod is too fun too be forgotten :)

@DOCTOR CROW

No idea if this will need a full update for 1.6 or not yet. I'll be testing it during my playthrough of Odyssey. Be patient

1.6?

@Sean Wagemans I believe it's way quicker to have a way for panws to ignore beauty, there's already Biotech and Ideology mods for that.

This is one of my favorite mods. Could you add just one option though? A way to disable the beauty penalty from these mutations. It's difficult to make a tentacle fleshcult when they all despise each other due to considering everyone one else horribly ugly from the mutations.

Possible for the horaxian body parts to regenerate when lost? Very expensive and hard to obtain just to have some raider or mortor shell blow it off in an instant.

Hey brothers, I have been using this mod for over a month now: it is good, I have found no conflicts or bugs. But do I think the mod is good? ---Absolutely!

The endgame path of fully equipping Horaxian arms/eyes/legs is superb, because not only do you need to go through the trouble of gathering archotech implants, you need shards and serums to turn them into Horaxian parts... -which raise your mental break threshold, so now you need implants that lower that threshold and you have to stack whatever mood-improving stuff you can on your Horaxian super-colonist.

It's pretty fun, the only way this could be better is:
* If we had art to show Horaxian implants on the colonist, like how archotech eyes do
* More Horaxian parts--- Horaxian heart, lungs, liver... (maybe with a smaller mental break debuff for the smaller parts)

This is exactly what i was looking for, thank you.

@Maleficus
Perfect for my amoral Android Army colony.
Their ghouls are gonna be the bestest murder-machines ever with these horrid mutations.

With the Prosthetics No Missing Limb mod, I got the legs to wear boots. The arms are still replacing the entire arm (including the hand), preventing the use of handheld shields, bracelets, rings, gloves, etc.

The Prosthetics No Missing Limb mod didn't seem to work either. Upon reviewing the changes made by the aforementioned mod, looks like you can allow the limbs to accommodate bracelets by making them attach only to the shoulder instead of the whole arm?

Hi, I noticed that Horaxian limb implants prevent pawns from wearing gloves, bracelets, or shoes. Is there a way to fix that?

Is this compatible with Rah's Bionics and Surgery expansion?

@acrab

No plans for that at the moment

@Catman1226

The Archotech bodyparts are not affected by the Horaxian bodypart effects. However, they will be shown in the description of the Archotech bodyparts because they are an ingredient for the Horaxian surgeries. So, ignore those numbers, they don't apply unless you're creating a Horaxian eye; they were automatically added by RimWorld.

@Your Friend Toad

The usage of the word "mutation" is because base-game Anomaly uses it. These mutations behave as the base-game Anomaly mutations do.

I was wondering if you are planning on giving the mod biotech compatibility?

Why does the Archotech eye also have the effects of the Horaxion eye?

Hello! Just letting you know, your mod doesn't have any dependencies listed in the about.xml

This mod is great! The only downside is that these are body parts and not really mutation, so if you have any mod that allows for limb regrowth these won't grow back.

@LTS

Thanks for fixing it on your end! :)

@pig in a pumpkin

I think I know what is causing that, but I don't think it should be changed. If your eyes are covered by clothing, you cannot see through them. It wouldn't make sense for an arm with ocular flesh, which is covered by clothing, to function.

Also, if I fix it, chances are that pawns with ocular flesh will lose their arms when I update the mod. So, there's that too. :)

@Anonimase Huh, I kinda like that. I did include the mental break threshold increases for the Horaxian bodyparts as a sort of balancing system, but it would make sense that one who has embraced the Void entirely is not negatively affected by a bodypart whose construction has been exposed to the power of the Void.

That being said, I am not sure how to go about doing that at the moment. If I figure it out, I may include that in a future update. :)

Would you consider/would it be possible to make whichever pawn did the anomaly ending to not get the increased mental break threshold from the horaxian parts

ocular flesh mutations dont count as arms for clothing

Thanks LTS <3

Not anymore, you wont.

Hi, im getting a red error "XML RimWorld.EntityCodexEntryDef defines the same field twice: discoveredResearchProjects." with just this and "Repair hubs" not sure how to properly report this but hoping I can figure it out with some help <3

Hey man could you add Anomaly as a requirement for your mod in Rimpy please?

Amazing work, especially for a first mod

I i may could you add a setting to increase the bonuses of the horaxian limbs as some bionic mods change regular archotech limbs to 200% making horaxian useless

total banger

@a quality meme

Thanks for the suggestions and kind words :)

Good to hear. The only real suggestion I'd make for more content would be more Horaxian implants, especially if you could make integration with other Archotech mods like "More Archotech Implants" for stuff like Horaxian Nanoskin and the like. Entirely up to you if you wish to span this mod out like that and learn patches or keep it as it's standalone thing. Either way, great work.

@a quality meme

Thanks! :) I was not even aware it made the front page. That's pretty awesome!

As for future RimWorld mod plans, I don't have too many at the moment. Potential updates for this mod further down the line, after a bit of a break because I've played a lot of RimWorld lately. Between both Anomaly coming out and me developing this mod, I did two full-length, back-to-back playthroughs. Other than that, we'll see. :)

This is my first RimWorld mod, but I do have a lot of experience with making Skyrim mods before this. If you like my design philosophy and play Skyrim, feel free to have a look at my other work at my profile, Maleficus32, on Nexusmods.

No problem at all. Just thought I'd ask. Given this is your first ever mod, you should be happy it made the front page because clearly people are getting a lot out of it. This gives me hope for your future projects, if you plan anything after this.

@a quality meme

Sorry, I don't know how I'd go about doing that at the moment. This is the first RimWorld mod I've made, so I'm not the most experienced yet. :)

No problem. I didn't really look through the comments to see if this was being addressed, I just came from one of Mr Samuel Streamer's videos.

Besides that, would it be possible to add a config option to make the tentacles a different color, like using hair color or something else?
