Dryads & Gauranlen Trees Rework + Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Dryads: Compatibility - Greater Dryads

May or may not contain actual knuckles.

This is a compatibility mod with "Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Dryads". The main feature is adding "Greater Dryads" which can appear at higher levels of the Gauranlen Tree.

---

Greater Dryads are somewhere in-between the VE Unbound dryads and regular dryads. Like regular dryads they remain bound to the tree.

The greater dryads, like their smaller kind from the "Dryads & Gauranlen Trees Rework" will be more active in helping out in the colony than the animalistic awakened dryads. This means you'll see dryads like the (greater) medicinemakers tending wounds, rescuing colonists and friendly animals, or helping to growing most type of medicine and drugs they find in nearby farms.

A gauranlen tree needs a fairly high level to support a greater dryad. As of writing there is a max of 1 per tree, though this can be patched or changed via XML.



Most dryads have greater versions. As of writing this all dryad types except the Carrier has a greater variant. Seen here is regular and greater Medicinemaker dryads


Here is a greater barkskin dryad and some stonedigger dryads helping out with mining. The stonediggers are of course better at this task.[/i]

Greater dryad "slot costs", greater links, scaling count to special items, is all controllable via xml using the base mod.

This mod is not necessary if you're creating your own greater dryads. The support is already built into the base mod, it is simply not utilized for anything there. :)

---

Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Dryads is the source of the graphics and many new functions used by the greater dryads.

This is an addon for Dryads & Gauranlen Trees Reworked and requires that mod.

I extend my most profound gratitude to Samuel Streamer, his community, and the Vanilla Expanded Discord for their vital role in crafting an illustrative workshop image that perfectly captures the essence of this mod in a manner which is uncomplicated and transparently communicative
