- Left several WIP items in again. I always do.

Update on 10/2/2025 4:55:22 PM.

Mod Version: 1.6.0.0001

1.6 Initial is released. This update is mostly a code update to allow Mantodeans to function in 1.6 finally. Additional updates will be following in the coming weeks to add further functionality and tweak a few things as well as to hopefully fix a code based issue that has come up since.

- 1.6 Code update
- Mantodean Lesser Castes possess a 100% resistance to Vacuum.
- Mantodean Sentients are 75% resistant to Vacuum and will have a new mutagen added to make them fully immune soon as I get it to stop yelling at me in the vacuum chamber.
- Broodmothers can once again produce eggs.
- Despite being counted as Insects Mantodean Lesser Castes now think more like Animal. (I changed their think tree to be animal...)
- Several production buildings now count as Workshop for purposes of room allocation.
- Research Tables now count as Laboratory for the same.
- Research Tables can now be used by humans again? I didn't do anything but they're working so.
- Scarabs can once again Clean and Haul and might also strip your prisoners at random.
- Several very minor additional tweaks to a few stats here and there.
- Red Jelly and Corpse Jelly are not currently functioning as intended. Red Jelly will still (instantly) kill a pawn its used on but will not generate Research Points. Corpse Jelly will still confer a boost to Consciousness but will not generate Research Points.
- Chitinous Blackboards and Mantodean School Desks function finally!

Keep in mind these are initial changes. Version 1.6.0.0001 is just to make sure you all can play finally. Additional updates will be made as soon as I have the time to do it!

Update on 5/4/2025 12:00:41 AM.

- Slight fix as I apparently forgot to include the LeaderTitle for both factions... oops.

Update on 4/28/2025 11:41:02 PM.

- Back-added the pawnkind back but no longer in use. That way no one loses pawns randomly.

Update on 4/28/2025 11:11:44 PM.

-Forgot to update the Faction Def with the new pawnkind defname. Fixed now.

Update on 4/28/2025 10:59:47 PM.

Mod Version: 1.5.1.0021

- Scarf now one of several items available to wear on Mantodeans. Currently seems more like a sash on them but am looking into a way to fix that and the issue with Blinfolds.
- Change to the Defname for Pawnkind L24_Pawn_MantoHiveNymph to L24_Pawn_MantoHiveLarvae due to an compatibility issue that is likely best fixed this way.
- Adjustment of Mantodean Factions to hopefully fix the Leader spawn issue.

Update on 4/12/2025 8:24:01 PM.

Mod Version: 1.5.1.0020

-Reduced Mantodean Traits from 2~3 to 1~2. This should reduce the amount of traits overall.
-Added Mantodean Benches.
-Adjusted Mantodean Pawnkinds spawns a bit to see if that helps. Also lowered chance for Medical Jelly to drop.
-Adjusted Mantodean Genes with VFEI2 on as well as Mantodean Lesser Castes so that Creep should be walkable finally... I hope...

Update on 1/28/2025 7:41:57 PM.

Mod Version: 1.5.0.0017

-Added Gripping Talons Mutagen. Allows the combat arms to function as manipulation enhancers. And matches the concept shown in the new header/preview image by Atom.
-Added Mantodean Jelly to Insect Jelly Recipe after Bioalchemy Research is completed. Mantodeans must adjust the process to learn to reverse it. Creates 15 Insect Jelly at a rate of 30 Mantodean Jelly.
