Compatible with reactive world?

I just realized I can't actually equip the bone armor as a scorchlander, sadness abound. Whatever I've just gotta find an equally creepy set. It is nice though, love the mod.

Can your recruit the praetorians with the recruitable prisoners mod
Pico Jan 26 @ 12:14pm 
As long as you don't have other mods that change the notebooks, you can find them in Western Hive shops, in Western Hive caravans (less), and loot a few from hive buildings that aren't shops.

cant find the hiver notebooks

good to know, I like editing towns in my game, ty
Pico Jan 23 @ 10:49am 
The mod doesn't make substantial edits to hive villages, it modifies the existing squads in those villages if I recall correctly. The locations and amount are the same.
CODE NAME HYENA Jan 23 @ 10:21am 
Does this mod add or edit hive villages ? :beeped:
Pico Jan 22 @ 12:18am 
The subsequent raids will usually never trigger if one of them "ends" without defeat. Importing can fix this (make sure the queen isn't trapped in the import), and I also have an addon that can fix this by just letting the raids trigger whenever the conditions are met.

So does importing fix the raid event? I've kidnapped the Southern Queen but it seems that the subsequent raid doesn't spawn in even after waiting for a while.

@bob did it just now
playing "uwe/kaizo lore friendly" modpack and got attacked by southern hive's last raid, or how its called, was able to beat it almost without losses (rip unlucky hive prince who tried to pass by), Tsep is a beast and realy hard to deal with, but my party was stronger

Hello. Your mod is great! I used it in my maksimum kenshi mod set, I hope you won't mind. I will definitely indicate your mod in the list of used mods. Thank you in advance.
Pico Dec 14, 2024 @ 12:24pm 
Beating the southern hive attacks is hypothetically possible, but I think your chances are slim without major preparation or lots of cheesing - in the latter case, it can actually be quite easy, and I've succeeded before. But otherwise, you'd stand a much better chance if you kidnapped the queen and took on their raids in separated groups instead.
The biggest threats are the wildly tanky praetorians, of course. But all of them come with exposed weakpoints, as none of the NPC praetorians ever spawn with heavy arm protection. Even Tsep becomes a cakewalk if he gets one of his arms broken, leaving him to attack in slow-motion with downgraded martial arts stats.
I'm sure if you prepared a large enough defensive position with harpoons, you could inflict major damage on any hivers you target before the fight begins in earnest.
bob Dec 14, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
Has anyone ever overcome the Praetorian counterattack after killing the Southern Queen? I don't believe it's possible, especially if you have the x3 attack slots (like me).
Akira Sovu Dec 8, 2024 @ 11:49pm 
Might be a bit overtuned given the density and size of patrols in Royal Valley.
Pico Nov 24, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
Someone else asked recently, but you should probably import your save if you install this mod. It changes the NPCs found in hiver villages and especially the homes of the 2 queens. But if you've never entered those areas yet, you can try it without importing and it should be fine.
Sandwich Nov 24, 2024 @ 11:46am 
i think there was an answer for my question but theres 50 pages so i gotta ask.(sorry if i bother you with that one) Can i download it on my current save?:er_uwu:
Haizuka_Rio Nov 4, 2024 @ 12:34am 
Is there a mod for just the helmet part of the hive soldier armor? i love the way the helmet looks but i want to put something else for the body
Pico Oct 30, 2024 @ 3:33am 
The hiver armor is in the heavy armor station. Large mods may change this.
iMovingTarget Oct 29, 2024 @ 8:58pm 
Where do we go in order to craft the hiver armor once we researched it? The "cannot craft armor" discussion wasn't helpful/outdated
Crash Oct 2, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
For some reason I can not edit the hive praetorian fogman at all and there is no menus popping up for me. Im just stuck in a blank editor screen everytime.
Pico Sep 28, 2024 @ 1:52am 
You can only play praetorians if you have an addon that enables it.
Marcus Sep 27, 2024 @ 5:13pm 
Can you play a pretorian
Pico Sep 8, 2024 @ 2:37am 
To shops? You can already buy a bit of the armor, but shops in Kenshi have faction-based limits on how good their armor is, so a lot of it is shoddy-grade.
You would get better results if you crafted it yourself. I also have some patches that make more of it craftable.
Dampback Sep 8, 2024 @ 2:09am 
Can some one make a pathc/mod that adds the armor from this mod to shops
Pico Sep 7, 2024 @ 4:10am 
No, I had a look at the file in the FCS and Fog Heavies are only set to 30 combat stats, with a randomization of 3. Their strength is then given a 10% bonus, but obviously that shouldn't bring them to 70.
Do you have any modpacks or other broad mods that make difficulty adjustments?
Bisceti Sep 7, 2024 @ 4:01am 
Does this mod give Fog heavies 70 strength or is that just their normal strength? I looked on the wiki it says like 23 - 33, i have no idea what mods causing this
Pico Sep 6, 2024 @ 6:29am 
Yeah, both the fog praetorians and the princes have a very small chance to spawn with contaminated bone weapons (about 2 in 104 if I understand the math correctly)
R3dShift Sep 6, 2024 @ 6:22am 
awesome mod, i love the new added weapons, is it possible to find a contaminated bone polearm on one of the praetorians ? I really want one
Reviera Aug 24, 2024 @ 12:27pm 
as for the king fogman, may be a bounty mod.
Reviera Aug 24, 2024 @ 12:26pm 
its alright, I found a mod that does what Im looking for, Now I need to figure out if it can be intergrated into my game.
Pico Aug 24, 2024 @ 3:54am 
There is no fog queen in this mod, and no new outposts/towns. You can find new fog praetorians, however.
As for the King, do you mean there is a fog king in your game? That is not part of this mod.
Reviera Aug 24, 2024 @ 1:31am 
Question, does this have a queen fog hiver? I found the King, just no fog queen locations.
Reviera Aug 24, 2024 @ 1:30am 
No, there's a patch for it. UWE changes a few things within it.
Nemús Aug 23, 2024 @ 7:10pm 
This mod is part of the UWE?
Pico Jul 25, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
If you mean Black Carapace armor from the base raids, I think all parts of it are meant to be black & red
COCAINA Jul 25, 2024 @ 10:11am 
Is it normal that the carapace ronin helmet is blue on top instead of red?
RainbowBoris Jul 8, 2024 @ 7:17pm 
I have barely even touched the hives, just walked through them a few times to get to the fog islands. thanks Pico, your the best.
Pico Jul 8, 2024 @ 5:37pm 
Importing your save should update the world to use all of this mod's content, yes. The hive queens, if they are still alive and free, will be reset along with their guards who will include praetorians. Other hive locations should also have their population be updated.
RainbowBoris Jul 8, 2024 @ 5:26pm 
If i import my save will this work in my current save or do i need to start a new save? asking bc i was gaslighted into thinking praetorians were base-game when in reality they are not in fact in the base game. I don't want to get into specifics, but in my squad i currently have Beep, Darth Revan (starting character), and Mad Cat-Lon, and we're currently living in one of those towers in Catun selling Cactus Rum. I don't wanna start over.

for any information you provide, thank you in advance.
Pico Jun 5, 2024 @ 11:03am 
I don't think more updates are coming to this mod, but if you want to learn how the FCS works, it would be very easy to make an addon that spreads praetorians around the world.
maxibreard Jun 5, 2024 @ 10:19am 
Can you make the praetorian spaw more in other faction like the uc o bandits
JackJack Jun 2, 2024 @ 9:16pm 
It is good practice to get permission first, though. Good on ya
JackJack Jun 2, 2024 @ 2:50pm 
@Gibus Chad. Good luck getting a response from the author. They haven't been active for like 5 years. I ended up just publishing my mod and including the author in my credits.
Journeyman Jun 2, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
Hey, I would like to use content take from your mod in a mod I am working on. I will give you full credit for everything I use, and I will include a text file that mentions exactly what assets I took from your mod. Is this alright?
sadr4 May 30, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
is there like a full list of the content in this mod somewhere
Blindman May 30, 2024 @ 4:37am 
this dude dropped 3 hardest mods in kenshi community since ever and then disappeared.
JackJack May 25, 2024 @ 3:09pm 
I created a mass error-free patch/dummy mod between several Hiver mods which adds Praetorians and Queens to Hiver clades that did not previously have them (either through the original mod or a patch). Hives Expanded is a main dependency along with Cute Hive, Mogwai Hive Overhaul, General Modifications, & Southern Hive Queen and Fog Queen.

Pico May 16, 2024 @ 12:20pm 
Yes, if you have been to the Western or Southern Hive territories. The fogmen will just respawn with the new content automatically though.
sadr4 May 16, 2024 @ 12:11pm 
Do I need to reset my world for this?
