I figured out what my issue is! I for some reason assumed you could apply statuses based on species in vanilla, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am going to refactor what I was working with to work using Race Traits universal status applier once I figure out how that works. But for now, I'm going to take a break from this "issue".

Okay, after deciding I'd fix the problem myself with absolutely no experience in SB modding, I've come back to report: Absolute failure.

So I see you implemented the flight via the innate species multi-jump peram, which makes sense and is very easy to implement. Sadly this left me to try and write a bad species patch file with a lua script to apply an effect that drains your energy after a certain amount of jumps without touching the ground. (Rather than being able to just slip an energy drain into the multi-jump if you'd used a tech or something.)

I feel like I got the patch structure/mod structure correct, and my lua is actually decent. Reading the docs it feels like it should work, but it isn't and I'm getting no errors, and logging didn't really help. Not sure quite what I'm doing wrong, but I've developed a headache here so I'm going to stop trying and leave it to someone who understands SB a little better and probably knows a better way to implement this than me.

I read vesperian and at first glance I thought it was the Deepwoken race lol

Infinite flight out of the gate is a little too strong for my multiplayer mod setup, but with a small tweak (like making each subsequent jump after the first two or so cost energy) this would be perfect. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that myself. So if anyone reads this or has the same feeling, I would love to see a patch/companion mod to address that issue.

really cool bat people

Easily tied for favorite race
No bias

Do Vesperians have essentially infinite jump? Bc if so, that's so cool.

@Bullitt Yep, it's totally okay! Please do, we'll be glad to see it!

Very lovely sprites, well done!

Hi, I was thinking about making a Frackin' Universe race traits/BYOS compatibility mod for this species.

I just wanna know if I have your permission to release this mod, publicly on the workshop?

;A ; This is so damn good. Thank you!

OMFG I love this race mod! I've been wanting an anthro bat race for a long time. Love the art style.

Also hoping for a frackin universe/races patch to give them stats.
Racial traits is great, but it doesn't give them specifics on preferred weapon.

I can eventually get to it myself when I'm done working on my mods if necessary...

I have to say, while the flapping flight ability is pretty interesting, it might mess with a few techs.

Can it be, idk, toggled off if a tech is equipped in say... the legs or the torso? (I don't remember which one is more related to movement)
As it is, with added movement tech they are *very* op since it won't prevent them from using their innate hability. There's also quite a few flight techs that could just enhance them anyway, considering the wings are so well animated.

Theyre very cute. looking forward to the custom dialogues/flavor text you come up with. :)

I like your bats!
Please let me know if you need any assistance - I can help with things!

For all who was interested, Race traits support is now real! Check the mod page for more info: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2622273194

@Emerald Not yet, but they are planned. For now we figure out how they should actually look like

I'm really hoping for either FU stats or Race traits too. This makes them playable with heavy modlists even if the content is not where you want yet.

Does your mod have Towns/Villages?

This mod is awesome 😄

this mod is absolutely gorgeous darling and I'm sad it can't fit onto the multiplayer server I'm currently on.
A+ on the ship
A+ on the wings
sad I can't make my little guy white and pink but the options are rather nice

wait, you guys are using frackin?

FU/ race traits plz, this species feels great in my modpack *_*
Let them belong plz :)

the deep is calling

Do you have any interest in making a request for Race traits stats for Race traits.

I'm currently experiencing a bug where their big ears are ridiculously big - about the size of their entire body. Would that be caused by the incompatibility with FU?

to everyone here that references deepwoken

you guys play this game too?

I love bats

There is no FU / Race Traits compatibility, would be amazing though.

THE DEEP CALLS

Is it compatable with FU / Race Traits?

@Stachman byzantines in fact, they use names of the entire late Komnenian empire (reign of Manuel I Komnenos): armenian, serbian, bulgarian, latin, greek

Oh! Wow! I was thinking about making a bat race mod not long ago too! Crazy how somebody makes one hahah We even thought of the same name for it!

are they romanian?

D-D-deep-wo-

don't think it don't say it

this one's sanity must've already crumbled

DEEPWOKEN!!!

DEEPWOKEN!!!

DEEPWOKEN!!!

DEEPWOKEN!!!

DEEPWOKEN!!!

oh cool its nice to see a bat race in the game!

Is this FU compatible?

Mo species, yah baby!

Seems they arent compatible with xbawks character extender? they dont show up when that one is installed! Also one teeny thing would be maybe to not let them infinitely fly without maybe stamina usage? since theyre a bit OP, other than that i absolutely adore them and the animations/wing changes for falling/flying are SO GODDDDDDLY

idk, i found them just fine

why I can't choose this race in character creation?

BATS!
