I'm willing to fix this mod up, with a custom ship and a few furniture pieces i think this would be a great mod

portal 2

I'm willing to pay for a species mod

Are you taking requests?

Look, I'm going to be real with you all, I no longer have any interest in furthering this mod. It was an interesting exercise in animation and I'm proud of what I was able to make, but I've got half a dozen other creative projects to be focusing on, and in case it wasn't immediately clear by my inactivity, I haven't really done much of anything with this. If anyone wants to take over or something, hit me up. I don't really know how that stuff works, but I'm sure we can work something out.

Is this Mod Discontinued or are u just busy or idk? xD

love the mod, why wont the mantid stats work?

@ApocalypseJack
And if the snake was a centipede/millipede.

Oh man! How'd I miss this one? These are gonna look amazing right next to my Arachne, Hive, and Thaumoth folks. A whole ship full of insectoids (and an arachnid)? Now that's the future in the stars I imagined.

Especially if they're Ancient Chinese themed bug people. Something tells me that that would be pretty amazing. Of course, the race is pretty awesome just as it is.

That's actually a really cool idea, I'll look into it!

For a theme, Ancient China maybe? Two very popular Chinese martial arts styles were made based on how praying mantises move (northern and southern praying mantis style). Plus ancient Chinese armor is super cool looking, particularly from the Song dynasty.

Alright, so the dev of Frackin' Races has accepted my push request on Github, which should hopefully mean he'll update soon and the Mantid stats will be included. When that is the case, I'll make a note in the description.

Now, on to the next stage of development! Armor. This is going to take a while, so bear with me, but I'm going to get started on making custom armors. I'll probably push a few minor updates when I have individual sets complete, but I'm going to try to make all 10 sets. I'm not really sure what sort of theming I'll go with on the design yet, so if you have any ideas on that, let me know.

Thank you for continuing this mod! :D

Hello! It's me! After oh so long! I've only got a couple minor changes right now (slimming up the torsos mainly, I'll have updates to the pictures on this mod page soon), but know that I'm going to start working on some more content for this going forward. Sorry I left you all in the dust, I just... Well I alternated between forgetting about this completely and willfully ignoring it. To be frank, this is but one of 4-5 major creative projects I've got on my plate at the moment, so...

Well I'm not going to let this languish anymore. At least, not until I feel comfortable with it being finished. Right now, my next goal is Frackin' Races compatability, and while that won't involve an update to the content strictly in this mod, I'll let you know when that's done and tell you what I'll be working on next.

I'm sorry that I can't really respond to all the comments here, but know that I feel guilty as HELL for ignoring this for so long. Anyway, here's to more interesting future.

Abandoned? I really love this race, but it could really use some more content ;-;

how long has this been a beta?

not sexuale... I Just WantThoraxالنمل النمل

Yeah, just what this discussion needed, vaguely sexual comments about bugs.

Yeha.... Bug's Baby...

#BringBackFrackinUniverse

You had a very good idea for the appearance of Mantid, I love. If you need a little help, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you, even if I do not have great talent.
Ps: my main language is French.

Will you be adding villages?

the exoskeleton of that thing looks like airheads watermelon flavor

chill with the green

Wow, this looks great. Can't wait to give it a try.

is there tenent's with this race?

Are there any custom made furnitures for the race?

W A S 🅰 B U G, L ℹ T T L E 🅱 U G, H🅰R D L Y T H E R E

When do you have an update planned? I'm actually looking forward to it, nice job on the race so far!

Well calm down grammar nazi, it's their first mod.

Cesa, did you download xbawks race extender?

it is not working

By that I mean, there is no reason to use the 'mantid Sword' is even costs the same to make as the Iron Broadsword, which is superior.

The 'mantid Sword' is just a worse version of the Iron Broadsword, but with the Pogo Sword ability, which isn't that good to begin with. Also the 'M' is lowercase.

13 will never be allowed from the EU it's just crazy i'm from germany i know it

@Pikachu34072 and Mr.Stego, do you have a character extender installed? Can you see the selection in the character creation menu? If not, go find an extender, I just put a link to one in the mod description.

d-did you watch the video??
I would be woried if i were you.

@zx-ex I mean countrys in the european union

@zx-ex isnt it only for europe though

I installed it, but I'm unable to start a mantid character even though I can access the mantid sword and clothing items.
