I read somewhere that the creepjoiners from the anomaly that come to your colony have abilities. And there's a very suitable ability that can be slightly modified. It's like when you use it on a corpse, it tears it apart and 2-3 small meat monsters pop out, which is already present in the game. You can simply modify it so that these meat creatures are friendly towards you (probably).

@Samury242 I could maybe just make it disable the need alltogether, i'm only handling food differently since having no food need prevents you from taking drugs, i'll add that someday if I don't forget about it.

@Nomit No, it just refills the food need.

Does anomalous sustenance have a chance to give pawns food poisoning? I had a colony where I fleshshaped almost everyone with it, and I got mass food poisoning. I'm unsure if it's the fleshshaping, or maybe they're eating something they shouldn't and I haven't noticed.

Any chance of making Anomalous Sustenance work with the thirst need introduced by Dubs Bad Hygiene?

@Futstub don't plan to change it, it's fine as is

I have an idea make it so the clone spawns with all kinds of felshshaper mutations

Nah seems fine

The cloning ability is waaaaaaay to overpowered. Otherwise I love the mod. maybe you will change it some day. :)

Update: Fixed warning related to mitosis

@Charles M. Freakston i've also noticed the warning you got on mitosis, that'll be patched

Informed them already, but thanks for taking a look

@Charles M. Freakston appears to be an issue with the mod you linked, same thing happens when you duplicate a pawn with the anomaly obelisk, Mitosis just uses this code in the form of an ability.

Tested it with only that und dependencies

So seems to be this mod
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3552180121

No, must be mod conflicts, I'll try to find which one later

@Charles M. Freakston are you getting any errors in the log? i'm getting the levels on my end.

Have a bug there the actual psylink level doesn't carry over using mitosis, just the non hidden hedif for psylinks

thx :) playing Flesh Cult Colony with MeatCore mod, for this FLESH!!! feeling, and it added Mini Flesh Beasts... and it was anoying for them to be tended constantly ;/

Update: See below

@polios3 Sure thing.

can you add MiniFleshBeast to your Don't tend? should be something like this: DefDatabase<PawnKindDef>.GetNamedSilentFail("BRF_MiniFleshBeast")

Fixed indeed, thanks :)

@Agusfer fixed

Anomalous Sustenance on "pawns" that have more than 1.0 food get it reset back to low instead of filling the bar completely, for example, thrumbos have 4 "bars" of food and it gets reset to 1, so they are never full.
Would it be possible to make the psycast's hediff check the pawn's max nutrition stat and apply that instead?

Sarkicism time

@Witch it has a spell that let you clone a pawn every day that is stronger then even vpe reverse engineer

im not saying its BAD to be op its quite fun in fact but "holy op batman"

Update: see below.

@Witch ~ That's fair, i'll lower the 99 ones to 80%

it seems fairly well balanced to me wym.
@Sentinel pretty much all the 99% ones. The problem is Psyfocus depletes a bit fast so you have to babysit the mediation to make sure you get to cast it. I would put it on 80% since theres not many spells that cost less.
Or add it as configurable options I guess.

Also about the Anomalous it might simply be incompatible with the big and small mod genes. it seems the genes are generally causing issues with how hunger is handled so thats propably why the organ isnt working at all.

holy op batman
never thought id see the day where regular vpe could be considered balanced to one of its addons but here we are

@Witch ~ anomalous sustenance restores the food bar every few hours, it doesn't straight up disable the food need as this causes bugs, which spells cost too much?

the Anomalous ustenance doesnt work and the psy costs for a lot of the higher tier ones are way too high

Could you add a little more description to the mod? I was thinking of trying it but does regeneration just increase healing factor or does it work like mech healer serum? If it's too OP I don't want to try it in my next Anomaly playthrough. Looks well done though and a great idea.

Added a check so only player faction anomalies won't get tended to.

Added Harmony as a requirement.

Update:

Pawns should no longer try to rescue or tend anomalies spawned by the hives.

Update: Removed DDS textures from the files, some users are having issues while loading these.

@Byzz how did it fix? my game has it now too

@Sentinel apologies, the issue was with my game and has now been fixed

@Sentinel only "graphics settings+" but the issue persists even when removing the mod, I'll make a clean install of rimworld and check if the issue persists

@Byzz that's weird are you running any mods related to graphics?

for some reason the psycaster tree background for all of your VPE mods except the newest one just shows a red x with a purple background

cool mod! i can't wait to give this a try!

I for one would love a more balanced patch for this mod, I enjoy it a ton and I can see it fitting rather well in most anomaly/psycaster playthroughs

I replied to you on the discussion but i'll also paste it here for visibility.



I do agree that this mod has the potential to be crazy OP if you stack the buffs, and you are correct, some of the abilities lack a drawback as they were intended to be used against very strong enemies (IE V.O.I.D, Kraltech).


I might release an optional patch that you can subscribe to which would make these abilities less insane for vanilla threats should more people request for it.

I love this mod in theory and tested it out. Generating twisted meat from nothing and deleting the hunger need is too OP. The fleshmass meat node needs to accept some kind of balanced input or at least work somewhat like a larger harbinger tree. Deleting the hunger need needs to have a downside just as serious as installing a nuclear stomach or the cast should simply reduce hunger rate temporarily. I am happy to report that mitosis cannot be exploited to duplicate installed bionics.

YO flesh ship lets go thank you so much for updating it to 1.6 so quickly!

@Sentinel

I am currently on 1.5 but it had been a while since i used it so maybe it was updated and i didn't realize.
