More Tenant Species

Description
This is just a simple mod I started for myself, but decided to upload onto Steam in case anyone else might want it. It's my first foray into the modding scene for anything so it's nothing spectacular.

It always irritated me how some tenants for my colony were locked to certain species. So I made this mod to fix that.

NOTE: This mod doesn't add any new tenant types, it just adds the different species from the base game into other tenant roles.

Some of the dialogue looks a little weird, not sure if I can fix this as it doesn't seem to be an issue with coding.

Current Tenants Edited:

Cabin Furniture Set added: Apex, Avian, Floran, Glitch, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Farm Furniture Set added: Apex, Floran, Glitch, Human, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Island Furniture Set added: Apex, Avian, Floran, Glitch, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Pastel Furniture Set added: Apex, Avian, Floran, Glitch, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Spooky Furniture Set added: Apex, Avian, Glitch, Human, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Steampunk Furniture Set added: Apex, Avian, Floran, Human, Hylotl, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species.

Scientist Tenant (Not the MiniKnog researcher) added: Avian, Floran, Glitch, and Novakid + new dialogue for each species. Slightly lowered the "science" tag requirement to get a scientist to spawn, as most "science" also has the "apexresearchlab" tag so I found I was getting Miniknog researchers too frequently for my taste. Old Value 24. New Value 18 (May lower it further on request)

Electrcian Tenant added: Novakid + new novakid specific dialogue.

Station Tenant added: Novakid.

Astro Tenant added: Novakid.

Industrial Tenant added: Novakid.

Space Guard added: Novakid.

To get the Tenants to spawn simply set up a room with appropriate furniture and there is now a random chance for any of the species to spawn. If you're looking for a specific one, you're gonna have to keep placing and destroying deeds until the one you want shows up.

I will keep adding more, be sure to let me know if you have any tenants you desperately want to have a species they currently can't have and I will try to add it in future updates.

Species Specific ones or ones where it would be difficult to justify the other species I have currently avoided (e.g Astronaut, Space Pioneer, Plague Doctor, etc) However if they are requested I will do my best to put them in future updates.

Not sure how frequently I'll keep this up to date, but I'll try to add something at least once a month but possibly more.


Compatability:
More Novakid Tenants mod seems to create a weird bug that will only allow novakid and possibly the original species to spawn, but use my dialogue in any of the tenant types changed by that mod.

if you ever come back to this, maybe you could make the species selectable the same way it is for other tenants: by having enough items tagged for a specific race present.

i love the diversity this mod adds! when you're life is less hectic, could you add some more species to the Rainbow Rogue tenants?

If you have the time, do you think you could add more races to the Inventor tenant? Like the steampunk fan tenant, it defaults as glitch only, but i would really like at *least* a novakid version for my novakid town ive been building!

Apologies for the complete lack of updates. Real life has become hectic (changing job, moving house, xmas, etc) and currently editing anything in my mod seems to cause a ctd. Not sure whats causing it yet, but will probably have to wait until the new year before I properly do anything more on the mod

Let me know when the convict tenant is ready.

Ok.

Been messing around with the traveller tenant lately, but something about something I've changed is causing a crash on start up, so might end up having to leave them out and move onto some other tenants until I can figure out what's going on.

Working my way through them Convict will be coming soon.
