did you make a B18 Version sepperately? as i cannot seem to find it.. though i see this mod has the 0.18 tag so gonna try to test it in a bit maybe after i get my set of mods done

(oops, should have put these comments over in the 1.0 version! :P)

One more balance note: The little crystal critters you can tame breed like rats and end up generating a LOT of crystal. By chance a couple of them auto-tamed early on and my settlement was soon drowning in the stuff from long before I ever had the tech to use it (like, thousands and thousands of units of it - I'd have been in trouble without Extended Storage). These guys should probably breed slower and generate crystal less often.

A couple balance notes - Crystalloid raids are certainly among the nastiest I have faced, in that their numbers tend to end up higher than most raids with the addition of a LOT of constructs to the raid numbers in some cases. One particularly devastating raid had upwards of ?30? pawns armed to the teeth? This combined with their apparent lack of a morale break makes them super dangerous.

Most of the weapons seem pretty well balanced, though the cycle cannon in particular seems pretty superior to the minigun in most respects. Not too crazy tho. The rest seem perfectly fine in comparison to their vanilla counterparts, or possibly a little weak, such as the shotgun variant.

Crysteel's sharpness bonus however, is extremely powerful. A basic longsword crafted from crysteel will be considerably deadlier than the even most advanced melee weapons you can expect to find in other popular mods such as Rimsenal, and they are quite inexpensive (if slow) to make.

1.0 Rewrite is out: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1571323744

any news about when the new version will be released ?

You have no idea how much anticipation I have to see the next iteration of this mod. :)

We wait for Crystalloids again!!!

Thanks for this mod :)

Sounds great :D

Coming out in a few days, polishing it up

Any news for 1.0? This is one of my must have mods! :)

Subbing to the thread for the release announcement!

looking forward to it

Yeah, I am not gonna release for an old version.

While I know that Tynan surprised everyone with his 1.0 release, seeing as how you have not yet released a 0.19 version, could we get a 1.0 version right away?

@AtomicRavioli ok ty for the info

@Modraneth Don't know when, but it will have a seperate and new workshop page from this one when it is ready.

@AtomicRavioli u have plans to where the full release to B19 will be finished ?

B19 pre-release rewrite build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/336m2y1gvkrt9jz/CrystalloidREWRITEB19.zip?dl=0

Is a B19 update for this mod planned?

Will you ever make a facial stuff patch for this race?

Any news on the EPOE B18 patch?

i find some who are 1000s of years old and some only 50 so im wondering what their age range is like when are they children adults or considered old

Microprisms won't spawn from my construct hub. any explanation?

Looking forward to having constructs if possible :)

Looking forward to the new version. This is one of my fav mod

My ultimate goal with the rewrite is to make the features feel complete and cohesive with various playstyles... A state that some of the other race mods have achieved, IE. Orassans or Apini

Hey everyone, I discussed this on the discord for Alien Races, but I am currently recreating this mod to fit current rimworld standards and to give it the polish it desperates needs. Many of the problems with the mod were rooted deep within it, and taking the opportunity to redesign aspects from scratch will make it a more enjoyable experience. Don't worry, many core features will remain. The rewrite is mostly concerned with streamlining the content and reworking some clunky aspects.

So does this mod still require a separate EPOE patch? The one linked is for the A17 version 0.0

How do you get crysteel I look everywhere but cant find option to draft them? Also what are the uses of amplifier crystal?

I cannot attach advanced bionics, or it seems, almost any form of prosthetics. After removing a bionic arm that i had attached early on and upgrading it, i could no longer attach it, or a steel arm.

ehhmm when i build the psy detector when it finishes it simply dispears and i dont get to see any psi fields

I am having a problem with this, it is minor but still annoying, I noticed this while a collective was raiding me, they would avoid my deadfall traps by going through the doors that I had built.

For the most part, yes, I got to revisit it sometime

this works right?

@Brona19 Goddammit, I did not need that right now.

@Brona19 you gave me flashbacks. Ughhk.

...for a moment I thought it said 'Chrysalid' mod. (any X-Com player knows that I'm talking about)

Not updated yet

yeah! one question is the epoe patch needed?

It'd be interesting to see some expanse on the psionic abilities :p

Nvm you can lol

Can you play as valkyries?

Also super pumped to start using this again! :)

Does this version work with the A17 verson of the EPOE patch or is it just not finished yet?

YEAAAAAAAAHHH

Updated for B18

Is it ready yet? I'm missing this race kicking my butt.

Soon™ is very good.

Its not, just coming out Soon™
