>neutroamine from insect meat
Very nice. Not that I will ever remove VGP Vegetable Garden from my mod lists with their precious Neutroflowers and everything else, but this is very nice as well.

Thanks for the update

Update: Preliminary update to 1.6
While I found no errors during testing, expect another update to properly recompile the assemblie for 1.6 soon.

Much appreciated and thanks for your work

Yes, hopefully in the comming days/weeks

Will this be updated to 1.6?

wish the boss insect summoning didnt require electricity

@bishop149 I've been thinking about it, but that would cause balances issues, mainly being able to relocate/disassemble hostile hives for pherocores.

A suggestion? It would be nice if you could move and reinstall hives. Or at the very least disassemble and get the core back.

Aww okay thanks for answering.

@queebelise9830 With my limited knowledge, sadly no

Any chance of a way to detach insects from hives without destroying the hive or forcing them to go off-map through convoluted means? I need them detached for off-map stuff, and pawns with decent Animals aren’t terribly hard to come by.

Eragon made it work using C#. As far as I know, there is no way to make it happen without the previously mentionned drawbacks using XML only

Mind if I ask how exactly you fixed it?

@Zergologist: That has been fixed in the last update two days ago.

The way you patched hive walls for the petroglypher to make them into hivestone is very sloppy, as the IsNaturalStone designator is allowing it to be generated as a "natural stone" on maps

No problem, thanks for considering it, anyways.

@Kaiakanga: I love the idea, but I'm a bit unsure on how to implement it, and that's IF it's not above my XML skills in the first place. I'll think about it, but can't make any promises

Ooh, nice additions, thanks! Is it possible to make worker insectoids do some cleaning? It could be locked behind research, requiring exotic hivetech or some other prerequisite, but I think it makes some sense that they could do it.

Update: Fixed hivestone appaering as natural stone, convertion is now done with c# thanks to Eragon. Also reduced thornpod cooldown to 24 hours.

I can confirm that this indeed happens. That's very unfortunate, but without commissioning someone that could handle the c# for that, There are only 3 solutions: choosing a tile to settle without hive walls (it's listed as the stone type in the terrain info) using a mod to override the type of stone available in the world (which you can do with mods such as map designer, for exemple) or letting it be.

@Amentus This is not intended, but is a direct consequence of classifying hive walls as natural rocks. Does it happen when you generate the map of a new colony, or only in quest sites and such?

Not sure if you intended this, but it causes the worldgen to generate maps that include Hive Walls as a stone type. The spots where the hive wall generates also have "rough hive wall" floors. I'm only using this mod and its prerequisites.

Very much needed buffs and tweaks, quite unfortunate that the Thornpod's stat and function is unchangeable.
