Rim-Shek

Rim-Shek is an incredibly lightweight mod that tries its best to blend a new race seamlessly into the vanilla setting, the only thing this mod adds is one new faction, and a new race known as the 'Shek', a naturally aggressive sub-race of humans with horned heads, and bone-plated bodies. Their culture values honor and bloodshed as top priorities. The race itself originates from the game "Kenshi" by Lo-Fi games.




Shek as a race are combat oriented, having natural armor thanks to their bone exoskeletons, slightly higher health scaling, and a head-ram attack that has the chance to stun an enemy when in close melee. However; while they excel in combat, not only do they move a hair slower than their human counterparts, they are not the best at other tasks such as plants, intellectual, etc. Though they can still perform these acts, they do so at a slightly slower rate.
The most interesting balancing act however is how shek have an increased hunger rate compared to humans, eating more often that a normal pawn, their hunger is at a rate of around 1/3 higher than that of a human. So be sure you acknowledge that before you let a group of shek join your colony!

This mod adds one new outlander faction: "The Neutral Shek", of which at the beginning they will either ignore you, or raid you. But if you can befriend them, you will have a powerful ally to back you up when times get rough.




- "CE?" - Yes.

- "Are they balanced?" - Yes, they trade labor/research speed for combat boosts such as a very rare natural stun attack, a small amount of natural armor and increased health. Furthermore they move slightly slower and eat slightly more.

- "Does this mod add any sneaky apparel, items, drugs, or any non-vanilla features?" - Nope. Just adds a race and one new faction. Both of which have been tailored to fit seamlessly into vanilla.

- "Do shek spawn outside of their respective faction?" - Yes, you may find a shek guarding a outlander trade caravan, or you may find one in one of those pesky pirate raids. You may also find shek as slaves in markets & caravans.

- "Does this mod work well with the 'Ideology' expansion and 1.3?" - Yes! Rim-Shek is fully compatible with 1.3 & 'Ideology', in fact shek will have unique ideologies based around honor, bloodshed, and bullying anyone who doesn't have horns.

- "Non-HAR version using xenotypes?" - Currently in the works. Though it will be a simple fork, rather than a total replacement, that way non-Biotech players & ongoing saves can still use the HAR version.

If you want a few mods that play well with this race, try: "Kenshi Armory", "Rim-Hivers", & "Hive Armory".

This mod does not add any new apparel, weapons, items, or any special race-oriented stuff, just the shek race you saw on the cover. The hivers seen in one of the preview images however, is not included! That is one of the other race mods in the "Rim_" series known as 'Rim-Hivers!'. If you find a bug please let me know and I will try to help fix it for you!
