The issue as far as I am aware is the complete rewrite of the path finding that needs fixed.
but time and availability is what is keeping it from being fixed at this moment.

DeVout i am still curious on if you have tried prioritising the animal part of the code rather then the entity part some what similar to how Secure Contain Rimworld has done it. i don't do any coding for Rimworld but if it is similar to what I've done you should be able to do this to fix it in 1.6 and if it does not fix that it should at least make the rift stalker easier to control (when i used the mod i noticed it was hard to do and medical actions on it as the "entity" part of it made it constantly wonder and i believe that having the code prioritise the animal code before the entity stuff should help).
Note: I remember recommending this to you but don't think you ever responded (or don't remember if you did.)

it currently isnt working for 1.6 unfortunately. Havent had the time or a coder who has been able to fix it yet.

CappyFox did you put it in 1.6? as that might be the issue

Rift stalker no move :<

can't wait to try this, i love the look of this critter :J

yeah!

Coziii is working on it! just gonna take a little bit of time.

Damn well just take your time I guess

1.6 is proving difficult to get done. pathfinding and behaviors are broken and it is difficult to find someone who can fix it.

No worries. I think everyone prefers you guys to take your time and have a more stable fun mod. <3

BigBadE is busy with school and Coziii is busy in general. So im checking if someone can squash the bugs and update support for 1.6

Awesome can't wait!

I will check in with Zephyr about updating the mod. As far as I am aware, the bugs seem to have been squashed. Just need to get the update posted.

Hey when do think it will be possible to further update this mod getting rid of bugs and implementing small fixes as well as updating it to 1.6, btw love this mod!

This thing definitely spawns as an advanced anomaly. As a quirk, it shows up in the codex when it spawns instead of when it's seen, so I knew it was around. That meant when my prox detector went off, I was able to limit losses to one of my two living ghouls. Chances are it's lost forever but hopefully I can limit losses to that one and that one alone.

Its on hold at the moment but I will get it looked into when we can.

would you be able to add settings that we would be able to work with for digestion time and that type of stuff or is this mod too early made for that type of stuff

Rift stalker need one human enemy every 3 day...Isn't this a bit too much?
Raid isn't always human raid, even if i catch some enemy for "dragon food storage", it also hard to keep it full. And if i keep it full, it will lost it vore ability to free catch a enemy...maybe let rift stalker have a more longer empty time to catch prey for itself

I met rift stalker and it spawn 3 of them in once...Should it be one? if I'm not THAT strong and every rift stalker be shot down at first time meet, I will lose 3 pawn

just to confirm, the rift stalker can spawn naturally as an advanced entity, lost one of my good crafter sadly tho

yes he won't eat anything else. Currently he has to be fed pawns to keep him docile. otherwise he will eventually hunt your pawns.

@DeVout Numelran Thank you! Do I need to keep feeding pawns to him? He keeps starving

@Nv118
knock him down, capture him to a holding cell, then feed a pawn to him, then release him.

when does this creature go tame after being hostile?

some incidents cant be translated...

@tha peng
At the moment he moves to two locations.

From Point A to B, where he goes invisible in between. Then Point B to C to lose the player.

one potential problem is that it runs too fast and reaches its hiding spot before it goes invisible, but I haven't tested much and only got the event once. also the anomaly log showed up before it became visible, spoiling the reveal.

Will look into it. He was far too tanky previously!

It looks a bit too fragile. I tried to catch him in a harmless way, but he always got killed. I could even kill him with a non-lethal weapon.

@FocussedNut5 Fixed! should be part of the next update!

I'll add that to the list of things to look into.

i have noticed that if you open the debug log it will constantly say true false over and over when i checked what mod it was it said it was from this one. i don't know if it is just my mod list being angry or if anyone else has had this issue

It seems to be mostly visual and only seems to happen when its docile. Havent tested it when its still hostile.
And we're working on it atm.

is the perma invisibility thing fixed/planning to be fixed soon? seems kinda gamebreaking, love the mod idea and art though

i believe if you did make the game consider it an animal as well it would allow the implant so that would then be an actual issue when not using commands

also with the training stuff i think if you made the creature considered an animal as well as an entity it would give it a tame option when not captured(if that's wanted) and it should also make said control mod not as buggy

it looks like this should only be an issues with someone using commands because i cant find a way to implant it

i used alpha implants i also used a command to implant it so i never checked if you could without commands i will check that in a sec

nevernind seems easily fixible with a bit of code on this mod's side.

what mod is this? Not sure what we can do about that unless perhaps looking into that mod specifically and figuring out a stopgap

figured it out if you have a mod that lets you control animals or a mod that adds an implant to do it, you would be able to feed it to have someone feed it to itself which breaks the game. also sorry for all of the notifications

i just tried to get a video of it by doing it again and now it wont let me

i feed it to itself and the game crashed

As in to another rift stalker or what happens lol

you can feed the creature to itself

This is so cool!

Zephir is looking into the training issue.

As of right now it is not yet implemented. Once we fix the current bugs, the next step would be to give it some behaviors when it is docile. Currently getting sprites done for a tendril grapple and a beam attack. which It could potentially use against raiders.

Its an entity for Anomaly, so I don't believe it should have the same trainability as other creatures. More of a "do its own thing when it wants to, sometimes to your benefit" kind of creature.

How do you train the Rift Stalker? I fed it and after I released it, every time I tried to click on the train option, it says, "Cannot train Rift Stalker: Animal is busy."
