Hi, I didn't realize they were genes. At some point I am hoping to sit down and revitalize the mod, it's been a while since I've really looked at it. I don't know when that will be, but when it comes I'll remember the note about genes--thanks!

Hi, could you add some textures for rhe blood addiction genes? Currently, they display a red cross because they have missing textures.

thx for the update

Apologies, it's been a while since I've had time to thoroughly test the mod. I'll see when I can get to it. Thank you for the bug reports!

I have installed the mod with rimpy, but there is no RimMagic element in my game, cannot find magic worktable.

i get a error.

Updated to 1.6! :)

@Magical Liopleurodon No benefits to Deathrest for non Sanguaphage pawns and it seems this mod doesn't like to play nice with the Official DLC as Ideology stuff gets blocked by it.

Ahh, some RimMagic vampires don't have a sleep need. Are there benefits/necessity of deathrest?

Otherwise, I would say from a lore perspective it's reasonable to expect different "strains" of vampirism to conflict with each other. That doesn't mean you can't mix them, but there might be complications.

Pawns with the Deathrest gene, like Sanguophages.

But here's the thing, when I put the vampire in the casket, it jumps out after just one second. What's up with that?

What's death rest?

Death rest still not working ?

sadly it doesn't work with Mechanitors :c

Ah yes, sounds logical to me now. Thanks for the explanation.
This is just a personal favor, if you make changes or patch for the unaffected mod I mentioned, please do not make exception for Rimjobworld. It is really helpful to have archotech genitals since they have option to unlock/block pregnancy. At least this is good for population control :)

Thanks for that very detailed list, that must have taken time to compile!

From all that you've mentioned, I think I'm remembering that being intentional I think, it does seem like there is some sort of tag that defines something as an implant. And to me it makes lore sense that vampirism would reject an implant; it would constantly be trying to regenerate based on genetics, so just like it's able to heal bullet wounds, it would be trying to "heal" an implant. I could also see a lore reason to support implants, you could say something about intention, but lore wise I've always liked the ideas that vampires can't have tattoos or piercings generally because their body would always be trying to reject them.

I don't know, what do you think?

Hi sorry for late reply. I can confirm that below parts/mod is not affected by Ascendant Vampirism.
- Archotech Regenerator from Archotech+ (continued)
- Rimjobworld
- whole body headiff GeneSeed Growth from Warhammer 40k - Gene Seed

These body parts/mods will be missing with Asc Vamp:
- Doom - Factions (continued)
- Polarisbloc - Core LAB tmp port
- All gene seed organs from Warhammer 40k - Gene Seed
- implant IUD from Biotech official patch
- Integrated Implants
- Nanomachines, Son!
- vanilla Bionic Eye

Thanks for the kind words!

Which implant was it? Because of how the healing code handles hediffs, I have to manually add exceptions to keep them from being removed. I think I have a few with this case, but from a lore perspective, you could also think of this as the vampiric immune system rejecting the implant.

Thanks for this amazing mod. Been one of my must have list. I am on 1.5 and just noticed that having ascendant vampirism will immediately reset my pawns' implant headiff.

Probably not any time soon, this mod is 8 years old and I'm pretty strictly in maintenance mode, just not breaking existing features/support.

There's always a chance I'll go in and patch things, but it's not likely. What issue are you having with the bun race?

Could you please make a patch for bun race pls! Many thanks!

Updated to 1.5, post any issues here. I am not planning to add special compatibility for the new expansion, but if any existing features break I will try to fix them.

You need Visual Studio, and then you should be able to open the solution file directly. There's a (relatively) straightforward health tick method that goes through and looks for different conditions to remove. That's what needs to be updated. The main thing is, you'll need to look up the HeDiffs and then choose a particular trait.

I'd like to fix these, but at the same time there's a gameplay argument/lore that vampirism "interferes" with other conditions. You could say the vampirism is rejecting the psycast, for example. But yeah, theoretically the source code and VBN file should be in the mod folder, which would be in your workshop folder under the same ID as the mod, 775650249

I also have an issue with some beneficial effects being removed, specifically from the Vanilla Psycast Extended mod. I have tried to change the mod myself to exclude the hediffs but I can't seem to get it to work. If you could give me some pointers to properly fixing the C# code I would be forever grateful.

That's a fair statement; it could probably be renamed. But yeah, the buff is pretty generous and I use it early game to kickstart my economy and so on.

is fresh blood something that is temporary because if so, why does it last so friggin long?

Thanks for the report, I don't know a ton about mechlinks, I'm going to guess they're an hediff. The code must be removing them because of that...hmm

And with further testing, Ascendant vampires instantly heal away their mechlinks, even when RimMagic is one of three loaded mods (the others were Harmony and Character Edit)

It seems that if an ascendant vampire installs a mechlink, they will heal the mechlink away.

I'll be doing some further testing to see if it's not just a weird mod conflict on my end.

Thank you! I really found. I just thought that suddenly there is an opportunity, when choosing a character and his characteristics, to immediately start, for example, as a necromancer without any altars. Thanks for the mod!

I'm not sure, there should be a new crafting station, "Magic Worktable". Try god mode to see if it's active or not.

I subscribed to the mod and it installed. But if you go into the game, then no change. I chose "activate the mod", but it still does not work. Did I install it wrong somehow?

Hey, great to hear! I also like overpowered so I get it :)

hai just came by and say ive reinstalled rimworld and whenever im looking for vampire i came here again, jecs vampire is cool but this is more of my thing, Overpower ;) .

Thanks! 😀

Thanks for making a great mod.

I don't think it does, Combat Extended changes a lot.

Does this work with combat extended? I've tried to use the two together and I got magic staffs that don't shoot and abounding staffs that shoot Nato Bullets. Unless there is something to go with them?

any plans on merging the vampire into the new dlc one (adding a stronger rarer gene version of the sanguophage)

it would be weird having multiple version of the same thing (also would allow better compatibility and interactions)

@funestis

You'd use the scenario editor for that, relevant hediffs would be

- [vampirism/ascendant vampirism] (whole body)
- [fresh blood]

Look at how the "crash landing" scenario adds vomiting/sickness to starting colonists, that's how you'd do it.

Similarly I think you should be able to add weapons to raiders the same way, but I've not tried that.

Good luck!

Is there any way to enable vamps and those weapons to spawn as raiders and raider weapons for additional level of myhem?

Yes, if I recall correctly it was making the mod not work, throwing the error during Rimworld startup before even loading or starting a new game. I can't test again to be sure, because I got Royalty since then. Probably, it'd be equivalent to just misspelling the name of whatever stat you were using to make it not exist.

I have now updated the mod to remove boosts for DLC traits; these were all really small anyways, and the vanilla boosts to skill gains and so on make these unnecessary. If I add them back then I'll make sure to test with no DLC, because I don't want to make DLC required, even though I personally have all the DLC.

It's not required, no--sorry for the late reply also. That should be benign--is it making the mod not work? I'm not sure how to suppress it, but yeah it's just trying to boost those stats if they exist.

Getting the below whenever I enable this mod now. Seems like this is stuff from Royalty DLC, which I don't have. Is it supposed to be required?

Could not resolve cross-reference: No RimWorld.StatDef named PsychicEntropyMax found to give to RimWorld.StatModifier (null stat)

Could not resolve cross-reference: No RimWorld.StatDef named PsychicEntropyRecoveryRate found to give to RimWorld.StatModifier (null stat)

Could not resolve cross-reference: No RimWorld.StatDef named MeditationFocusGain found to give to RimWorld.StatModifier (null stat)

It looks like Healing and Resurrector potions both needed to be fixed; I just put an update out that fixed them, hopefully the workshop won't be annoying.

Thank you very much Rhi Bran for the bug report

I was able to reproduce the bug; it should be a dead simple fix, I'll see if I can fix it this evening

Since 1.4 my colonists haven't been able to use/administer healing potions. They keep attempting, but the potion is never used up and the issue is not healed.

Our mods aren't related at all, but they won't crash each other. I don't how how balanced it will be, but play with it and see what happens. Tell me if you run into issues.

Is this Compatible with Rimworld of Magic?

nice, i will test this mod out, after fix my stack overflow error problem.
weird i keep getting this error randomly in game. after 1.4 and biotech update.
i even u se less mod and no error at all.
any idea how to troubleshoot this?
