Cosmetic Aliens

[tiagocc0]

I'm working on a mod for myself and I think this might interest others.

The idea is to have a lot of different races in one single mod and that alien race is like humans so no racial advantages, advanced factions, weapons, items and techs would be added to the mod. Also remove any restrictions to that race like apes and apini couldn't wear normal clothes.

So it is really just cosmetic. I've made a reddit thread to talk about it here https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/8mtfto/cosmetic_alien_races/

So far I've tried Rimworld of the Apes, Logann, Apini and Asari but there is still further modifications that I need to do. I want to make their factions identical to either Outlanders or Tribes and later make a faction that contains all races.

Using the Faction Control mod then you can choose which faction to appear in your world.

I'm also going to make it compatible with Combat Extended and hopefully RSBE.

The most important part of this mod is get permission from all modders.

I sent some messages already. I have seen some people that want it on reddit, I posted on ludeon forums as well and I'm posting it here to see if people wants this. If not I'm going to make just for myself so I can add any race and not worry about permissions.

please do this, it would be nice. I am using four new tribal races but its incredibly unbalanced in some ways. not that i want it balanced every single game still. I just really like the variety of alien races in the game it makes it more sci-fi but some of them are just inept and in a way pointless... I mean there are some pros to the lows but seriously using CE and having races with incredible carrying capacity and than having those that can't even carry a firearm without a backpack...

If there was a way to balance new colonists skills to assume the racial prowess than sure but getting warriors that can't fight or haul and getting skilled labors who only can fight that can't carry a weapon is getting very annoying. Thanks for letting me rant, good luck would like to use this mod on occasion.

Thanks, this is something I really wanted since I started playing Rimworld and if I'm using CE then it means I want a fair, balanced game. It's great that we have a great variety of races but it's a shame that adding several of them we have to throw 'fair' and 'balanced' away.

So far it's not looking good since just two modders answered and I got just one yes but I will give it more time and try to reach more modders.

I got a RBSE patch from Space_Lettuce_OG here in the workshop as well so everything will be CE and RBSE ready hopefully.

If anyone reading this also want a mod like this then please voice your opinion so that when I reach modders that will see that people want this as to allow the use of theirs races. Thanks.

Got two yes so far, two said no and most are not replying.

I guess I can try taking a different approach with the mod. I can make a separated mod with no part of other mods in it and so instead it will patch existing race mods to modify them according.

This way I'm distributing them and I think I won't need any permissions, it will be a lot harder however.

Maybe, it's got something to do with steam blocking links an malicious?
