Huge problem i have with the game!

[Endgunner]

I really want to play as a hive soldier drone, but they can not go certain places due to being unable to wear masks/hats. This also leads to them being knoked out in 1 to 2 hits to the head even with high toughness.

I love how they look, but them being unable to wear helmets is too big of a drawback with the only reward being that you look awesome until your head gets bloody and you fall over near dead.

Granted you eat 40% less then a human and have 100 more head hp till you die from a hit, being hit with even 0% Prots from cutting and blunt does less DMG then having no head gear due to some multiplier.

And then there is the -20% XP to everything but toughness and attack witch is not too bad but does not help along with the fact that combat speed only effects the movement of a combatant not his/her attack/block speed.

In short this race is broken, i have seen Beep do better then combat then Ray and they both had 50s in stats but ray god knocked out and beep kept going. (Beep still has all his limbs too.) I have found no mods trying to fix this, nor do the devs seem to care. Sad...

EDIT:(Yes i have checked for mods or i would not post that i did not find any that fixed my problem.)

Hi. Worker Drones & Hive Prince can wear hats. Not all headgear but some. Only soldier Drone cannot wear one. For me they are not front liners. Support with crossbow in combat, manual labor, research & engineers in production. Even their Hiver Undershirts did not give them protection for their arms. When facing low level enemies & not outnumbered they are doable. To play with just Hivers is a challenge certainly.

check out my mod "hivers got a brand new rag" drone face plate thats a an edited version of the normal face plate that all hivers can wear gives the solder drone head gear with little to noclipping issues

Yes, but at least rename them from soldiers to something else if they are not ment to fight.

"Soldier"
Implies combat no? They are not good at anything let alone combat. And i don`t think being 2 hit ko by things late game is a challenge, sounds broken to me.

The Hive can develop their own shirts and robotic limbs but developing a helmet for a majority of their race is too steep a task.

does this mod not work or something? i also found about 4 or 5 mods that go about rebalancing the hive soldier stats in different ways.

these were all on the first page from just searching hive in steam workshop. did you actually look or did you just need another reason to complain about hivers?

This does not fix my problem, it changes the game for skeletons and does not add anything just changes existing hats to be bigger. Also i do not want to change base stats i just want hive soldier drones to be better at fighting then hive worker drones. (witch they are not) Helmets would do this.

And please understand that complaining about something in the "gameing industry" is how you get it fixed. (Unless the devs want a third of one of their races to be broken, witch i think/hope not.)

how does that mod not fix your problem? the Iron hat on the Soldier Drone would literally provide you with a helmet and head protection. Congrats! the Soldier Drone will now be more effective cause he wont take as much dammage to the head plus he has a larger head health pool than everyone o.o it's a win.

It also changes skeletons. Also it does not change the fact that they can still not survive gas/fire like other races.

What if hive soldier had special helmets shaped for their head? That would be so cool!

That it does, BUT! you dont have to utilize that part of the mod... it just adds and invisible helmet for them that you can choose to put on them. It doesn't cause npc skeletons to spawn with this invisible helmet.

That would be and i am sure eventually a modder will add it, but look at pictures, they look absolutely precious in iron hats.
