@Chad Ryan Gosling I think yes, you can add it midgame, but removing it midgame may cause errors

can i add it midgame

@Anker no, last update was august 16. Never encountered game crash myself and nobody provided details about setup when it happens, so don't know how I can fix it. If you share log I'll look into it.

@Anker Yep this mod crashes the game if you have it active when creating a new colony. It works if you add it after colony creation though.

Noticed my game was crashing every time I started a new world. Undid all my mods, ticking them on one by one until I found the culprit. Looks like it's this. You update it recently?

@Virtuous I'm only aware of Integrated Implants - it has AF as optional dependency

what mods depend on this?

Thanks, that was what I needed.

@MelonBread yes, you have to edit xml manually:

Open <mods_folder>/Integrated Implants/loadFolders.xml with text editor, in section <v1.6> change "<li IfModActive="disabled">1.6/Mods/AthenaFramework</li>" to "<li IfModActive="smartkar.athenaframework">1.6/Mods/AthenaFramework</li>"

Trying to figure something out, with Athena framework I can see the modular research and most of it seems to work besides the skill chip one and I think the psychic shield isn't available. I cut down my mod-list to just integrated implants, Athena, and vanilla expanded frameworks and the issue was the same. I say you mention needing to allow for Athena framework to work with integrated implants, but I don't see any mod options for Athena framework or integrated implants. Is there somewhere else I would do that?

thanks man

@SaltyRocksPew It isn't looking good. I guess you have other issues than skill chips research. You have multiple versions of Athena Framework in mods folder (and duplicates of some other mods too), so we can't be even sure your game loads this one.

I recommend you reinstall all your mods:
1. Save subscriptions to collection to be able subscribe to them later
2. Unsubscribe from all mods
3. Delete all content in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\"
4. Subscribe to mods you want one by one to avoid duplicates

Try not to add mods which leads to red errors. Can be hard but saves a lot of time later.
And always delete duplicates of mods, game can't tell which version to load.

I've pasted the logs into a google doc if that could help?

[HugsLib][warn] Exception during log publishing (gist creation): System.Exception: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
[Ref D9420B1B] Duplicate stacktrace, see ref for original

No dice!

@SaltyRocksPew Install HugsLib if you haven't installed it already, open log window and press "Share log" button. Then paste generated link here.

I have a lot of errors. I can't paste them here they're so many. Where should I?

@SaltyRocksPew do you have errors in log? If you do, please share it. Also you can try check files integrity if you have Steam version of the game.
For me Skill chips research looks fine, it have all unlocks.

the 'skill chips' research doesn't unlock any skill chips or the skill chip port. It's just empty. (I don't know if that's this framework's issue or integrated implants)

Apologies, pretty sure it was something else.

@zeus57007 do you have any mod that adds psychic shield installed? Such as Integrated Implants. If so, do you have enabled its integration with Athena Framework? By default it's not enabled on 1.6 last time I checked. Athena Framework doesn't add any hediffs on it's own.

seem unable to find psychic shield hediff to add via scenario crator, even with implantify, which added it with the previous athena framework 1.5

@GapeHole please share log, can't really do anything without

seems to cause a LOT of crashes not sure if thats just athena but something is up

@Lee well, I do my first steps in RimWorld modding and just wanted to practice. Learned how to use transpilers while porting this mod to 1.6. And I want bugs that affects my plays to be fixed. You can create PRs to my version if you want or update your own, as you wish. It's more practical to maintain single version, so if you choose to continue your own, and it will have GH repo, I'll drop mine version and will contribute to yours. Otherwise I'll try to maintain this.

@EvilChef please share log, I'll look into.

@Lee please do m8

Cant start a new colony with this active

yummy.

Do you just want to maintain this? Or should i go ahead and push my update
