Wulfs Expanded Insects

Description
Version 1.01

Adds Insect breeding to the game.
Insects are now Oviparous and reproduce sexually.

Also adds two types of chitin, robust and soft.
Adds chitin vest armour, and allows war masks and plate armour to be crafted out of chitin.

Soft chitin from scarabs is fairly weak but scarabs can be quickly grown,
Spelopedes and Megaspiders yield robust chitin which is almost as strong as steel,
as Spelopedes and Megaspiders take 3 to 4 years from egg laying to fully grown its not that efficient to farm, however does give some half decent armour for tribals.
Megaspiders also yield a horn as strong as an elephant tusk when butchered.

Insects are now trainable;
Megascarabs can Haul
Spelopedes can Haul and Rescue
Megasapiders can Release

Chitin reinforced sandbags which have a higher hitpoint count than regular sandbags

Compatability:

Patched for Combat Extended;
Horn weapon will be removed like Thrumbo and Elephant, and kept as a sale item.

Patched for Fertile Fields;
Sandbags cost sand.

Giddy-up;
Giddy-up automatically sets Megaspiders and Spelopedes as mounts.

Possible incompatibilities

Polymer;
both chitin's are stuffed into a polymer category, so if you have any mods that add that category you might see some funky stuff spawning, such as a plastic chitin vest, or chitin walls, but nothing game-breaking should happen... I hope....

Disclaimer:
If you wish to include this mod in your own, or add it to a modpack, please feel free to, no textures or audio are included in this mod, but if you do, please let me know, as this is my first mod, and if someone adds to it, i'd like to see and learn from them.

Any chance for a 1.2 update? I came to the sudden realization that this should be compatible with Vanilla Insectoids Expanded since they don't modify the base insects and then realized that the game updated.

Anyone know if this conflicts with Vanilla Factions Expanded Insectoids at all?

XML error duplication.

this is likely a conflict with another mod, but i only have the option of chitin reinforced sandbags, and not standard sandbags.

Hi big fan of the mod, i like the extra ways to get a reward from dealing with infestations.

However I recently built a few Robust chitin vests and they weigh 33.00kg? I'm not sure if this is intended or an accidental number bug in the code. Default flak vests weigh around 4.00kg, so wearing a Chitin vest on my soldiers made it hard for them to go on caravans. It seems a little odd that it weighs a little under 2 stone chunks. (40kg)

is it compatible with better infestations?

Do you think you could make this compatible with Alpha Animals? Mainly just in being able to use the Alternate Chitin for the Chitin armor.

Updated for 1.1.

Very sorry for long delay, I'm a full time student and in full time employment, however have strangely found myself with some free time recently like so many others :(

Will be looking into compatibility with better infestations
