It took a lot longer than expected, but the Beta 19 version of the mod has finally been released.
New content for the mod is also planned to be added next week. :)

A version of this mod for beta 19 will hopefully be released within the next few days, with new content being added in the month after. I thank all those who currently use this mod for their support. I hope the new content will be worth the wait. :)

I have made a new update to the mod. This one adds some new weapons and body armour for the Tempta Formation. The next update will focus on improving traders and raids sent by the Tempta Formation as well as research.

@The Emperor. Thank you for the clarification. As of yet the only way to get Tempta Formation specific (urban camouflage) variants of weapons and apparel added by the mod is to loot or trade for it.
While there may be a research for those added in a future update for the mod, currently only the standard variants of those weapons and apparel can be crafted by the player. This will probably be included in the update after the one I have planned for this month as I want to add a few more items before adding Tempta Formation specific research.

@Camo I meant in-game, sorry about that. I don't see any research option to unlock it.

@ The Emperor. Yes, feel free to do so. Just make sure to include a link to this mod if you use any of the art or descriptions/lore from it.

Am I able to create my own tempta formation armor?

Thanks for the update Camo

dont forget to give this mod a thumbs up guys its a classic

Nice, im gonna keep my eye on this. After the b18 update decimated most faction and race mods, ive been looking for more hostile militaristic factions. Ive got a few already, but you can never have enough carnage and mayhem in rimworld.

I have finally made another update for the mod. The weapons have now been re-balanced to better fit in with vanilla. The new weapons and optic helmet should also help with combat at longer ranges. The next update will finish adding in some more long ranged wepons and will also focus on armour for closer ranged troops.

on a side note i love this mod obv.

that sounds so kool yeah alot f other mods make thing so hard not just the other faction mods that add some op stuff that make vanilla-ish mods struggle but even mods that add animals like the insect mod has a preying mantis thats just eats anything vanilla or the red dragon mod.some of the glitter tech is fairly strong.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be sure to take that into account during the next few updates. It's about time I added some longer ranged weapons and better armour to the mod.

i still love this mod im just sad my other mods have made this one gears not like it use 2 be. the uniforms are so kool as well

tbh in todays rimworld tempta needs a boost. considering all the modded factions people are using these days the tempa needs a damage buff. I like how they breach walls etc etc but when it comes down to gunplay they are lacking in range mostly even against vanilla. i can create a ideo showing one purely vanilla guy mowing down tempta basses solo on extreme diff........

I added a couple of new weapons today, with plans to add more over the next few weeks. I also plan to re-balance some things so that everything fits together nicely.

I fixed a few grammatical errors in the item descriptions today. I also hope to add a few more things to the mod over the next few weeks.

oh i will. I had plans on making Warhammer 40k factions once i learn how to mod in the future. Orks for example, and treating their blood as a spore/fungus of sorts that eventually spreads like poison ships but spawns spore pods that produces gremlins that help cultivate the fungus into large spore pods so Orks and goblins come out...buuut ideas are just ideas. I gotta get experience and practice a bit.

This mod is infact from an older build (A16 and A17). Links to those versions can be found in the description. This version of the mod also currently has more in it than the older ones do.

As for making the mod I simply looked at the XML files for the game's core mod in notepad++ and modified them to make my own. You can also look on the Rim World Forums if you need any help.

When it comes to the items, I am not very good at naming things so I kept most of them simple. But I have coded things in a way that prevents this mod from conflicting with others that have items of the same names as those within it. I can also change the names without breaking old saves, meaning I can easily change them if I come up with better ones.

Thank you for your suggestion. I hope you enjoy the mod.

Was this a mod for a previous build? The name sounds super familiar. If it is, thanks for bringing it back, although i personally think its better if all your weapons and appearel had their own unique names instead of the typical "Charge" stuff that a good chunk of other modders use for names.

Ex- Tempta Smg could be called "Tempta Riddler" or "Tempta Repeater" or "Hand Of Temptus"...
just my opinion. I like to be more creative when i can.

On another note, what did you use in order to make the faction? I plan on making some factions myself but need to teach myself first.

Thanks for the update and love the faction
