Is there an option to disable the cheating aspect? The reasoning behind why cheating mechanic exists seems far too juvenile to me. If not maybe add a loyalty trait or something?

they added homophobia to worldbox

needs more sex

i like this mod ^^ i wish there was a culture trait that is opposite of homophobia
also its funny how this mod makes everyone asexual if you load a world saved before this mod was installed x3

Culture Trait Ideas

Heteronormative: most units in this culture prefer the opposite sex

Homonormative: most units in this culture prefer the same sex

@ZomBen

What’s erroring exactly?

doesnt work on nml

@unicorn22

They just are.

Why are the power icon sprites too big?

@Gopher
Bisexual, pansexual, ace work for both non sapients and sapients.

Ah... I guess it will make sense once the gender identity labels mod gets added into the mix. So, what about the bi/pan/ace labels? If heterosexual and homosexual are restricted to only non sapients due to them lacking the cultural foundations to identify beyond mere sex, are you treating the other three labels as just being part of the gay/lesbian/straight spectrum, then? I only ask because they contain the suffix "sexual" in-game.

@Gopher
I don't feel comfortable calling sapient being homosexuals or heterosexuals, so I created the straight/gay/lesbian labels for sapients since it "humanizes" them more.

Gender identity is planned in the sister mod, Topic of Identity. Though that's coming whenever I feel like modding WorldBox again.

...why does Steam hate the shorthand of homosexual, but has no issue with any of the other sexual labels.... such a strange world this is.

It would be nice if there were gender identity traits on top of the sex labels, since "sex" is rather pertinent to the biological reproduction side of life while gender is more a personal identity thing separate from the genetics view.
Questions:
Why differentiate sapients and non-sapients as straight/gay/lesbian and hetero/♥♥♥♥?
Can Sapients be bi/pan/ace, since the other sexual labels are for animals?

@Gopher
Heterosexuals are animals that are attracted to the same sex.
Straights describe sapient beings (humans typically irl) who are attracted to the same sex (though I prefer gender in this case).

Romantics explain romantic attraction.
Sexual explains sexual attraction.

A lesbian, for example, who is heteroromantic, experiences romantic attraction towards men (or another gender) and experiences sexual attraction towards women.

What is the difference between Straights and Heterosexuals? And what exactly is the relationship between lesbians/gays/straights with the sexuals and romantics? The math isn't mathing right, based on my understanding of these terms, though it isn't helped by the numbers themselves constantly fluctuating by multiple hundreds to thousands randomly!

@ronnie mcnustblaster

Perhaps! At the moment, xenophobia is used as a way to oppose it, but I can look into making its own trait.

Different species can fall in love as long as they are sapient (LUMITY IS POSSIBLE NOW YEAHHHHHHH! YURI!!!)



in the future, you could consider adding cultural traits that oppose or promote this?

@PDF Thanks! I'll look into it when I have time :D

THE SEX UPDATE IS REAL!!

I really like how this mod is made and the idea specially of love between species. but its easy to get laggy with it
hope one day is possible to improve performance by the option of disabling some stuff for example

i made mac and cheese

@Duragoons

Strange, I'll add that to my list of bugs. Thanks <3

Oh. Yeah, the units I've observed who are either both hermaphrodites or one partner is, they search for different units of the opposite sex despite having the ability to procreate with their same-sex lovers.

@Duragoons

If the lovers you are referring to are hermaphroditic and don't reproduce with one another, then yeah that is a bug.

I don't know if this an intended feature but in one of my kingdoms, there's a subspecies with the hermaphroditic reproduction trait coexisting with a different subspecies with the regular sexual reproduction trait yet they only procreate with the opposite sex instead of their lovers who are the same sex. I've noticed both the female-female and male-male lovers search for different partners instead of their existing partners.

@Immortal

I haven't been working on the mods recently due to being busy with other parts of my life. So unfortunately, I don't have an estimate :(d

when is topic of identity estimated to be released

@Destroyer of Iconoclasts
The “Homophobic” culture trait doesn’t have “despise” in its description in the current version of the mod.

The description of the mod is just outdated and old.

Saying this as a Christian, I enjoy this mod because it really brings to life my characters in the world, not like the emotionless 20 pixels that walk around and build stuff sometimes. Despite its overarching ways of displaying sexuality in a non-sacred way, I'm glad its optional, especially for people like me who aren't necessarily haters of people who don't see it that way, but don't want to have to conform to some things that we just don't believe, that being said, my only ask is that maybe some changes could be done to less attack us who don't see marriage like that, for example this "Homophobic" Culture trait, I don't "despise" anybody, that's not good. But just want my world to better represent my beliefs as somebody who sees marriage and sexuality as something that is sacred. Other than that, love this mod! It truly brings the world to life, and there needs to be more mods like this give our little pixels some actual depth! <3

@My Anus Is Bleeding!
This is fixed in an upcoming update where units get their orientations randomly when loading into a pre existing world.

However asexual aromantic people should still reproduce to keep the population up as the mod is programmed to keep orientations separate from reproduction. If this isn't happening, this is a bug.

I love the idea of this mod but loading it into a world with already existing creatures causes them all to asexual aromantic crashing the population eventually. I'm not one for heteronormativity but that may be a better default to preserve existing saves. Great mod otherwise!

@MianReplicate Thanks!

@Immortal
I can look into it!

@Gopher male-male won't result in babies, but male-male lovers will occur.

ah yes infantry fighting vehicle reproduction but seriously can you make it to where two different genders start out and a option in the book menu thingy to remove preferences so it can pretty much be the procreationists in the culture menu

Good opportunity to add new diseases to the game if male-male is added.

So wait... I get male-male won't result in babies, cause duh, but that male-male will still occur, right? This mod definitely feels like something that should be in the base game! But probably safer for all that it stays as an optional workshop mod.

@AWorldboxPlayer

So there is an adoptions counter but it is a bit misleading as to what its actual function is. It’s particularly referring to sexual IVF reproduction. When people reproduce via surrogacy, that counter goes up. Tho this is a pretty bad mislabel and it should really be relabeled something else.

@MianReplicate was it not already on the list? if you go to world stats i swear there already was a counter for adoptions

@Another Hobo
There is no male-male copulation in this mod? Two males can't make a baby here.

For adopting babies, I can add that to my list of ideas.

This mod is not good, there's no adopting children system or permanent genetic diseases that come with male-male copulation. If that were added, I would give it a pass.

@questionable 😭😭

okay when will homophobic units automatically get struck by lightning is this update soon

Хоть я не играл в мод, но по виду Мод прикольный в плане механик с учётом того что в игре очень мало крупных модов, Спасибо хоть и на том что есть. в общем удачи в разработке мода!

welp this was bound to happen on a steam page ig
