Hello, any chance you would be willing to make this usable through the health tab on downed pawns and prisoners?

Use the debug menu to "Spawn thing set..." and select Reward_ItemsStandard and you will see Age Reversing Mech Serums spawn regularly.

mod isnt working - after 100+ hours, over 15 exotic traders, no serum.. sry but what this mod does exactly? not working here

It is just luck of the draw with the reward system. I have had games where I get 12x healer mech serums and never any of these and then I'll get four in a row. The more mods and DLC you have active the more possible rewards there are too so it lowers the probability even more. When 1.6 is fully out I will check the code again to be sure nothing has changed. The syntax for quest rewards seems to change every couple versions.

Have yet to see this syrum show up on any traders after 10 in game years. Not seeing any conflicts and I did use the admin tools to spawn in 1 of the syrum to make sure it was actually showing up. I don't see any mod options at all for this like most other mods so not sure if I am doing something wrong? I'm using RimPy to add / remove and sort the load order.

And quests.

Then just trade??
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Jan 11 @ 4:53pm 
No not currently.
ghksl123123 Jan 11 @ 4:35pm 
Is it possible to produce it?

Continued from below:

Most mods are going to be one or a combination of three things: new XML, patched XML, or dll.
My advice would be to make copious use of ILSpy to examine other mods' dlls and go through a ton of vanilla and modded XML, patches and non-patches, to see how most mods work. If you have any specific questions ask them on one of my mod pages and I'll answer what I can as well. :cozybethesda:

@X3r05L173 I must say I owe everything I know about modding this game to a user on the Ludeon forum named LWM I believe. He really got the ball rolling and that allowed me to deconstruct other mods using what I've learned. If you're serious about learning to mod RimWorld I would consider asking specific questions on that forum and hopefully those helpful people are still around to help you get it established.

Looking back Planetside Politics was a really ambitious mod and it really was something seeing it fully fleshed out and it wouldn't have happened without his/her fantastic advice on how to construct my Harmony patch and what code to target and so on.

Boy, The documentation for making mods for this game is nearly nil zilch, nothing. But, I was able to create a recipe that combined resurrector and healer mech serums as was suggested by someone ages ago.

I envy people who might know how to use this stuff better than I. Even as an experienced developer for something totally different than this, not a great experience trying to make stuff for this game.

hello, I think I had a youth mech serum in on eof th mods I used ... but I do not know which other mod added it... does anyone know?
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Sep 4, 2023 @ 7:18pm 
It doesn't currently work with animals, unfortunately. I've wanted to make it work with animals for a while now but haven't found the time to make it happen.
garuda_blade Sep 4, 2023 @ 4:28am 
Is there anyway to use with animal?
Rips Sep 4, 2023 @ 12:33am 
Cool, much appreciated! Thank you anyway for the mod. It is a really great idea.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Sep 3, 2023 @ 5:13pm 
That's a good idea. I'll have to think about it.
Rips Sep 3, 2023 @ 4:26pm 
My suggestion would be to have this craftable at the Fabrication Bench, with the recipe being saying Mech Healer Serum + Resurrection Serum or something similar.

That should mean people with one or more of the DLCs get a chance to obtain the Age Reversal Serum while still preserving balance since those are rare too especially with the extra DLC items from quests.
Rips Aug 31, 2023 @ 4:33pm 
@SkunkPlaysGames. Thank You! It's probably OK in the base game but with even one DLC, let alone 2 or all 3, it hasn't come up once in days of play with all the extra quest reward types available.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Aug 31, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
It might be a little better now. It's not as simple as just setting a number though, I need to work within the parameters set by the XML formatting. There are just a ton of different available quest reward items now so you are correct it sort of gets lost in the sauce.
Rips Aug 31, 2023 @ 5:03am 
Any chance a setting to increase the frequency of the serum being available? I think as there are no many different high value items now with DLC, the serum just almost never comes up for DLC owners. I only have Biotech and haven't seen it once in days of play.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Mar 14, 2023 @ 8:11am 
That's a very good question and one I don't know the answer to off bat. Might be worth some experimentation. I could see it going either way.
Oswald Mar 12, 2023 @ 7:03pm 
Will this restore fertility to older pawns?
Dester Dec 3, 2022 @ 12:16pm 
Any chance a setting can be added where players can reduce the frequency of the mod serum. And a way to specify this only being available from orbital traders or only as a quest reward?
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Feb 9, 2022 @ 12:10pm 
@Atremiss Yes.
Webb? Feb 9, 2022 @ 11:20am 
safe to add mid save?
F1tgal911 Jan 17, 2022 @ 5:02am 
I need this for RL
Feros Nov 12, 2021 @ 1:38am 
Well i have to be patient then i'll guess :D
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Nov 12, 2021 @ 1:26am 
No. There's just a lot of stuff in the game these days. It's just one of a thousand things they might have. I've had games where you get them all the time, others where I hardly see them.
Feros Nov 11, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
I played for about 7 days from now and i didnt see a single serum on exotic traders.
Do i need another mod to get it working or?...
InspireMe7 (Warcheese7) Oct 3, 2021 @ 1:33pm 
Knowing that Exotic traders could have it helps. Thanks
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Oct 3, 2021 @ 5:42am 
No, like other serums are by default it is only available through quest rewards or exotic trading.
InspireMe7 (Warcheese7) Oct 3, 2021 @ 4:50am 
Is there any way to craft this item?
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Aug 28, 2021 @ 12:51am 
No I don't think that's how mech serums work by default, I don't recall completely. You'd probably need to mod in a surgical operation that consumes the item in order to administer it in that way.
Terra Aug 27, 2021 @ 9:13pm 
Is there a way to make this work on animals or pawns that can't walk for any sort of reason? If there's already a way to do so, I can't seem to find it.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Jul 5, 2021 @ 2:23am 
1.3 compatible.
My Wife Left Me Feb 23, 2021 @ 9:10pm 
can you make a mod that does the opposite and ages them up?
Jasper Nov 17, 2020 @ 4:04pm 
Apparently this mod conflicts with the "youth serum" from the raids sometimes go wrong mod. If you want this serum to show up in game, load this mod after the raids mod.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Sep 10, 2020 @ 7:09pm 
Quest reward typically.
Vaeringjar Sep 10, 2020 @ 3:35pm 
How does the serum show up in-game?
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Aug 25, 2020 @ 12:31pm 
Apparently my update for 1.2 was accidentally from an older version where that was missing from the file. I've updated it and it can be stored like anything else. It is under Items, fyi.
Jrfishback Aug 25, 2020 @ 5:18am 
where do i store this, i cant figure out/find where it is in the storage list
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] Jul 15, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
I've added the new German language version as a new file. I had to machine translate a few other minor elements. Hopefully it is correct. Feel free to post any corrections and I'll implement them. Thank you for your contribution!

能不能制作一种动物能使用的版本,在手术中使用。
Aravox Jun 10, 2020 @ 10:01pm 
I don't have mod yet, but am interested in adding it. Does this mech serum only appear in game as a reward, or can it be also found on traders, and is it possible to craft it? Please answer back, ill check tomorrow for replies. Thank you.
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] May 13, 2020 @ 4:18pm 
I did a little testing and it definitely seemed to be very infrequent and the quest system has undergone a lot of changes recently. That said I had to generate more than a hundred quests before it appeared as a quest reward and then it showed up four times in twelve quests. Unfortunately, that is how the system functions. There are many factors working against it appearing. For one, it has a very high value so the quest reward must be high enough that it has a chance of appearing and not every quest is like that. We're talking in excess of $3200. It's also just a solitary item in a system that is drawing from hundreds of items from which to choose.

It is currently set to have the same rarity as a resurrector mech serum but being significantly more valuable it is functionally a bit rarer.

Thanks for your mod i love it but i played 5 years i haven't seen it yet even you updata 5.12
SkunkPlaysGames  [author] May 11, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
Thanks for the report. Fixed.
laughingowl May 11, 2020 @ 11:57am 
Its relatively minor (and may be conflict with another mod), but don't seem able to find it anywhere in the stockpile catagories, to define where it should be stored.

NobleSirBlack Apr 8, 2020 @ 1:19pm 
Any way you could make one that ages the pawn by 10 years too?
