Bugs hauling meat to your colony stockpile is just the insectoids feeding their livestock...

Is there any update on the vre insector integration?

hi, is it normal that i dont have any infestation chance? i live in a mountain in a tropical rainforest and following the mod description i should get infestations

If raid last to long will a hive spawn if none exists?

Huzzah! Time to die of bugs again!

Is there a github repo for the source code? Kinda wondering if some ticking can be optimized, since it can get very heavy on maps with a lot of pawns

Question! If I were to somehow get a Hive for myself, meaning it's my faction, will it still expand?

And request: Make the infestation on the map apart of a faction PLEASE. It will make us be able to possibly use others mods to change our experience with the mod here, meaning could be fun.

If you do I suggest, making a separate name for it so we don't confuse it with something else.
Much love and thank you

Is there a way, to stop the insects to aggro on my base, because something else killed one?
I have a few other mods installed, and last time, they attacked a dragon, a few died, and as revange they rushed me.... Is there a way to stop this behaviorwith this mod, or a different mod?

Thanks for the 1.6 update :)

ok ! thx for infos !

Yes, I was wrestling with the "haul meat to stockpile" issue but I guess I'll release it anyway.

1.6 ?

i checked with draw infestation chance in my 2 last runs and there was not a singular cell of chance, in 10+ years in each one i didnt have a single infestation, i will uninstall it for now, if creator could check it it would be great, i think its a pretty nice idea of a mod

I probably have to drop this mod because it keeps spawning 20 insects right next to where the caravans show up so the caravans just get shredded the moment they get on the map. i just got blowback operation and i have 5 guys, we aren't doing shit against 20 bugs and they will be 100 bugs by the time we can. strive to survive septober 5501 :|

Expanded - Insectoids 2 Does it work?

Still noticing bugs delivering resources to my stockpile. As amusing as it was to watch them bust down multiple doors to deliver 11 alpaca meat, I don't think that is working as intended.

does this work well with Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2?

I would like to see an update for Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2

Thanks, I didnt notice that.

There is a mod option to turn the notification back on. It's off by default to increase difficulty .

When a hive spawns I don't get a pause or message. It would be nice if that could be added.

I went to one of the map infestations and there is 3000 resurrection serums on the ground, is that intended or bug?
i hope for bug

Well I was gunna ask about, Insectoids 2, instead I am just gunna say god speed, and thanks.

@fanres9 sounds like an skill issue

juste make the jelly automatically eatable fore insects to not have to clique on it and do it manuali and make them shrede the equipment from the raders over time to not have a stock of to much weapon or equipment ,
tanks

...and my colony is now a lost cause, because there's multiple queen and new nest keep allowing new queen to spawn, and my only gun is a humble chain shotgun.

Oh damn, the queen respawn way too fast

they seem to still haul to stockpiles

No interactions I've seen, or have been reported.

Atm what happens if we load this with VE Insectoids 2? Are there any interactions at all or does VE Insectoids override this?

yeah, would be great to have it interact with VE insector >.<

any plans to have the hives in this react to the insect pheromones gene in insector race?

"If you build in a cave, that area will be less likely to get an infestation." - from the notes above.

I haven't looked too closely at that particular mechanic, to be fair. But I can assure you from my own playthroughs that infestations do occur.

I havent had a single infestation spawn in after i started using this mod wheres in vanilla i had one happen almost immediately. I always build in mountains, though i am using a map mod that makes basically the whole map underground. Biomes caverns and the Geological Landforms mod.

The mods are full of bugs *ba-dum-tsss*

@5katz have you found any bugs?

> Increased infestation chance (that's what we're here for, right?)
Not exactly. I'm in search for the mod that will make infestations less stupid and annoying, before going to the option of disabling them completely.

Right, but I see nothing obvious in the code that should be causing it. I'll keep at it.

I used to have this issue with the witcher mod creatures.
The issue was due to them being from different factions.

I've had other reports of them immediately attacking each other, will be looking into it.

don't know if this is related to the mod, but seens like insectoid are killing each other for some reason

this begun after i added VE insectoids expanded into my save cave insects just wipe thenselves out of the map almost instantly after start

Initial reports are good, it's probably going to be a matter of integration rather than compatibility, making them work together more. Please let me know if you see issues.

@5katz any... bugs? badum tsss

curious to know as well

Please do. I was just about to throw them in a list together when some things came up.

VFE Insects 2 is out, gonna drop back by here if i notice anything not working when using both

Is there a way to stop them from converting certain foods to jelly?

Something I did not realize was a modded behavior was insects butchering corpses and turning nutrition into jelly. Wasn't aware how much I missed that until I didn't see it happen anymore. Only just not realized that said behavior was only from Better Infestations. Thank your for updating this!

lolllll

heck yes, glad to see this fixed and returned.

are the baby insects fixed too? They used to never spawn small for me back in the day
