i was gonna make a comment on this mod abt a bug where the skulls of the skeletons dont show up, but. it was a problem with the facial animations mod. i would rather have their skulls appear, rather than having animations on my pawns faces.

Thanks for making a 1.6 version of this. I also don't know what the issue people have with HAR is cause a lot of race mods use HAR. But this seems cool since they don't get hypothermia will be good to use for crypto mods and anytime need to go in snow. But now have more option then just sending robots.

jesus christ the people begging and demanding here

I'll be honest, this mod really needs a rework, hopefully using the new "mutant" deff rather than HAR. That thing just brings too many issues.

Great job on keeping the mod alive anyway Zal

it isnt letting me move my into the thing

Awesome mod, but I had to give up on it because of the HAR requirement. I'm fighting mod compatibility issues with HAR every other play through.

Yippee! Thanks Zaljerem, appreciate the effort that goes into mods like these!

yay

Apologies, I've pushed what should be a fix for that.

Having the exact same issue as Logbuzz. Ruined my lich playthrough plans :(

they all become my ideology but they continue to be apart of the enemy faction

them

Do I need to have the skeleton precept to turn the into slaves because I am putting dead people I have enslaved into the sarcophagus and they come out hostile.

Is it possible to preserve their age after resurrection?

They are too young for Fishing (Vanilla Expanded)

Invisible heads: Check you aren't running a face mood or facial animations, it may bring some issues.
Don't spawn: Some mods that add traits when a pawn is created may produce some issues. I found some in a mod that adds technological backgrounds.
Run and Gun: For some reason it just doesn't work with that mod, hope you can make it compatible.

I can't get them to work. Recently they just don't want to work, the sarcophagi just opens empty. The raids work just fine

they still spawn without heads, the only way i can seemingly get them to have heads is with the skull mask from the 'butchering drops skeletons' mod.

they all seem to be missing their heads for me

@pbergy No they don't

I know this is probably a silly question but do they need to eat?

I have several and I have their priority set to high yet my colonists just gloss over them and walk over the corpses. They just leave them where ever and I tried make the tomb a dumping ground for corpses that didn't work. I tried to click a colonist and then right click a corpse but that didn't work. Getting real cooked in my small brain right now

Someone please tell me how to put the bodies in the sarcophagi, I have no idea what i'm doing

i found a work around with the mod Everyone can Work

i have the Complex Jobs mod installed and not sure if it's that mod but to haul items you need to be the age of 3 and same for deliver resources

I found the problem for the graphic it was a conflict with Better Loading and Human Alien Races mods

i check the code and saw that they should be adults at 0 yrs

I seen to be having an issue with the skeletons coming out as children age 0 hours, unable to do some of the labor skills cuz they to young. and seem to have no body just a skeleton head, which could contribute to the being children having no graphic for child skeleton graphic

I did want to suggest that maybe there is a 1-5% chance for a skeleton variant to spawn instead of normal skeleton. These variants would have slightly higher stats and given random bonus traits/genes depending on their type. The following are some examples:

Scorched: They can slightly heat up a small area around them, as well as throw a small fireball. They are immune to fire.

Frosted: They can slightly cool a small area, their melee attacks cause frostbite.Being in very cold areas does not impede their speed.

Giant: A slightly larger skeleton that has higher health, defense, and physical stats then a normal skeleton. Can pick up 10X it's normal carrying capacity. Can't wear clothes or armor. Moves slower then a normal skeleton.

Gifted: A more intelligent skeleton then normal. It has the same skills and passions as it did in life. It is able to grow skills like normal pawns. Because of this, they spawn as colonists instead of slaves, allowing to participate in rituals.

thank you so much i love this mod a lot and im glad someone picked it up and started working on it again!

how do you make a starter colonist a skeleton

I would love if you could make it a xenotype cause i wanna mess around with vfe puppeteer, but i wonder if thats even possible

They are prevented from participating in rituals, but it looks like I need to address them being included in the count for that alert. Thanks for the report, I'm looking at it now.

My skeleboys can't participate in rituals, which is preventing me for assigning roles since they still count towards the colony's population. Is that something with the mod or am I doing something wrong?

is there a way to add a xenotype to the skeletons? Wanna make a skeleton supersoldier

and while a previous comment says the mod works with search and destroy, whenever i have this mod enabled the search and destroy option in combat doesn't come up.

For some reason my skeletons are spawning without heads, though they still drop skulls when killed.

FUCK HAR!

love this mod! small request tho, prosthetics are require steel and thats expencive when useing medieval overhaul. could skeletons use wooden prosthetics? also could the steel cost be changed to metallic? that way i could use iron, or bronze from VFC

Thank you Zaljerem, for Improving the mod so quickly. :)

Updated:
Added mod option to allow skeletons to wear apparel (default true)
Removed slave bed alert for skeletons
Support for [FSF] Complex Jobs

I wish there was a way to do this with out HAR =( its been causing so many problems lately for me. one of my all time favorite mods too.

Hell yeah! time to have a horde of skeletons :D

Updated: Added mod option to spawn as colonists rather than slaves (Ideology only; without they always spawn colonists)

They won't do intellectual work, so you may have a tough time in that regard ... but I'll look to add that as an option, yes.

is it possible to add a mod option for them to be considered as colonists? I want to do a skeleton only game but you can't do so with only slaves.

Finally! Thank you b rave hero!

Updated:
Skeletons unaffected by hypothermia (default true, mod option)
Skeletons cannot learn (default true, mod option)
Generated skeletons skills capped at 5 (default true, mod option)

Thank you!

Updated: Added support for Search and Destroy / Tacticowl. Thanks for letting me know; I'd forgotten they use a custom ThinkTree.
