Just wanted to drop in to say thanks for your content. Getting back into Rimworld again (and again, and again, and--). This will be the first time in a while I won't be using any updated versions of your content and it made me feel a little sad and nostalgic.

It was really great, a ton of fun, and very creative. Thank you for having made it. I had a lot of fun.

Hello, KompadT! I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I wanted to comment anyway. I've always greatly enjoyed your mods, specifically the art. The style is great and really fits everything in my medieval/fantasy games.

Thanks for your contribution to the community!

Made an update of this:

Hope it helps anyone!

I would really appreciate this mod being updated to 1.4 One of my favorite playthoughs was based on this mod, and I would like to recreate it.

1.4?

Best Dryad mod imho.

1.4？

1.4?

Когда будет обновление? Мы ждем....
И добавьте возможность спариваться с обычными рассами. Или хотя бы новые функции с новым длс

I imagine this mod and Kompadt's other race mods will take a while to be updated since Biotech changed how races work and Humanoid Aliens is no longer working. But if KompadT was willing to do so I know I would certainly be really appreciate and I'm sure many others would to. No pressure though, it's been awesome having this mod in my games in the past, appreciate it a lot.

This mod is fantastic, i just wish it would be updated to 1.4 and biotech, no clue if thats actually happening or if it will remain the same, since i haven't seen much from the dev about this, if you are working on it, hope to see it up soon! (I don't want to put any stress on you since i know some mod developers are in a lot of stress rn)

I agree with @Corey.young it would be awesome to see this updated. Dryads were one of my favourite races in Rimworld for awhile

Hi I really enjoy this mod, just wondering if there are any plans to bring this into 1.4. Don't mean to pry, I am just weighing up playing now or waiting a little while if this is being updated soon.
Thank you:)

where or how to craft a protective arm? i got the research but i dont see it anywhere

i seem to have lost the ability to perform the dryad seed implanting surgeries
xenobio patcher doesnt seem to be the cause so i have no idea what i should be looking for

This might be a stupid question but how do you build the dryad sleeping spots? I managed to capture and enslave one but I don't think I have access to the sleeping spots...

its kind of a shame that blood from the blood mod isnt edible for dryads because its counted as an animal product, which dryads apparently cant eat

Is there a patch for using the beds?

how to make oak and willow aspects?

looking around it seems im not the only one who gets dryad bodies spawning other races instead
i just use the character editor mod to replace them with the right kind of dryad

@Kaz I'm having the same problem... sort of. I placed some Dryad Double Resting Spots down haphazardly early on and want to move them, but one of the Dryads is now lovers with a Viera from A Rim Reborn and when they *became* lovers it automatically put them in the same Dryad Resting Spot, but now I can't unassign them from it or they can't sleep together, made all the more frustrating now they're engaged! Any help would be appreciated!

@KompadT, @Alexander Zagirov, I felt that "natural" meditation should be there too, so went and wrote my own little patch. Feel free to use for whatever: https://gist.github.com/slippycheeze/ffc95e95a88061af4c268c89dfa0714f

I've got an issue (not a bug) where a human and a dryad are lovers, but they can't sleep in the same bed since dryads can only use runes. Would anyone happen to have a work around?

@Oberain Have you tried using a dryad to sow them? No pawns except dryads can sow the plants added except them for me.

@「Brainiac」Yeah...using a Dryad or Dryadic body for me creates a pawn of a random race. Trying to save scum to get an actual Dryad and I keep getting T1 androids, humans and fimir. Also the dryad resting spots randomly vanished from my save and I haven't the slightest clue how or why as I haven't changed my mod load order or added mods. I suspect there's an incompatibility somewhere.

Have a problem: Dryad (Dryadic) body create a human when awakened. Enyone else?

Not sure what the issue is, probably a mod conflict that I'm not managing to figure out but...
A) Security buildings are not recognizing the "dryad arm" and "dryadic heart" to build their respective buildings.
B) All plants added by the mod can't be sown. I can set them as a growing zone no problem but, I can't get my pawns to actually sow them.

After playing with this race for a while I can say that concept itself is interesting, but they only good for a neolithic (tribal) playthrough. At first glance they look like a cheat (+100% immunity gain speed, very slow hunger rate, 50C to -40C base comf. temperature, increased dodge and pain threshold, +50% psychic sensitivity, other minor bonuses), but the price for this is inability to use any normal beds and very slow learning speed (-50% global learning factor). They want to live / sleep outside on the ground (special sleeping spots), they like to be wet (ahem…) and as a result you can’t improve their livelihood at all. Because of this, dryads also have bad synergy with other races. As tribals (especially cannibals) they are very fun to play with (I recommend “VFE – Classical”, or just a storyteller from this mod to only have neolithic factions), but it’s a pain to take them further than this. Oh, and for some weird reason they don’t have nature meditation focus!

Is it intended for the dryad backstories to only allow for the artistic meditation type?

That's the problem then. Damn. I don't have their beds yet.

Dryads can only sleep on the drayd runes. They cannot use beds (anymore). You should be able to capture them, if you have a rune on the ground in an enclosed space set to 'prisoner'.

Can't capture a dryad. Game keeps saying there are no prisoner-marked beds in safe temps which is horse hock. I have beds readily available for prisoners complete with comfortable cells. There's something about this mod I'm missing.

is this ce compatible?

@Duke of Chutney Dryads are carnivorous. They don't like raw vegetarian food. Just like you probably would not eat raw meat.

A weird thing I found my 1st time trying this mod: the dryad won't eat raw berries/corn/etc. She would eat a rabbit corpse, raw meat, and a simple meal made from corn. But apparently not raw vegetation of any kind. What's up with that?

@DigiDragoon apears same issue with seed cluster embeded in spine it spawns a random colonist species insteed of dryads specificly, hoping something will be fixed around that as id love to get more dryads incolony without needing to raid/wish for raid/debug in

I'm having an issue where I cannot make a dryadic body, despite having all the necessary parts.
Help?

Are dryads supposed to come with the ascetic trait? My colony has all the leading figures be dryads (Leader, moral guide etc) and its getting hard to have them pull their weight when everyone else is running circles around them due to them being forced to use dryad sleeping spots since the stat rest is no where near what a beds can get, but if you use the fix that litestop posted for the beds they now break easily because of the permenant -5 with the higher expectations from just a slightly impressive room. I really enjoy this mod and was hoping to get some insight on how to either fix this or to just know if its intended

Anyone have any idea what would cause a Dryad /Dryadic body to create a human when awakened?

Can you make a slider so we can nerf the insanely OP revenants by a good 80% or something, I get raided so much by packs of 71 or more and they are even harder to kill then enemies in cataphract armor which is just dumb

Hey could you make it so awakened dryads will be of the colony ideoligion? I just got one and it's going nuts right away

Dug through the files and found a solution for the "can't sleep in beds" problem.

Just delete these lines:

<validBeds>
<li>DryadSleepingSpot</li>
<li>DryadSleepingSpotDouble</li>
</validBeds>

from these two XML files:

<yourSteamDirectory>:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1694750191\v1.3\Defs\ThingDefs_Races\AlienRace_Dryad.xml

<yourSteamDirectory>:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1694750191\v1.3\Defs\ThingDefs_Races\AlienRace_DryadWild.xml

Save the changes and launch your game :)

this mod is much older than base game dryads ... and much better

I was hoping that this would replace the dryads you get from the Gauranlen tree rather than add a new race. Would such a thing be possible?

@RoboSpongie Did you really report the problem right after I said where it came from?

Yes, only runes work as beds now. I have the same problem.

@Hopeless
I second this bug. They cannot be assigned to beds, and they only sleep on the floor, disregarding their previous bed assignments as well. One or more of the new updates to other mods might have caused a conflict, as I had no such problem before.

Having an issue where I don't get dryads I get a random pawn instead

@Dinomyte @Oxy I had the issue, and it seemingly stopped after disabling Real Faction Guest. Feel free to try and confirm if it's the source of the issue.

Anyone else having an issue with Dryads no longer being able to sleep on beds, and only on Dryad sleeping spots?
