Oh thats a shame to hear, hopefully there is enough tools in 1.6 to make coding aquatic only creatures easier, good luck guys!

@Myphicbowser Yeah, we're most likely going to need to. The mod author quit modding, unfortunately

Oh if I /can/ ask, do you think you'll make your own version of the Pathfinding framework? It hasn't been updated in a long while (Only once after Anomaly released) and odds are it'll conflict with ALL the new pathfinding stuff going on in 1.6

@Myphicbowser You're welcome! Yeah, unfortunately it seems like they added stuff for flying, and amphibious creatures, but no aquatic, which stinks!

Ah thats a shame, but reasonable! I was hoping since they're adding new movement stuff for Water and such they would've made it possible, thanks for the quick answer!

@Myphicbowser From what I can gather so far, players will just need it for the fully aquatic animals

With the new movement stuff coming in 1.6, will this still need Pathfinding Framework? If you happen to know that ofc

@MANDRAC Nope, sounds like something went wrong

Are fish supposed to live on land?

heyo,all the islands are looking like the old islands. I cant find a single atoll from the pics, can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

@tehswordninja Vanilla Vehicles Expanded!

Really great mod!

The Boats mod is broken (even the continued version) so do you have other suggestions for boat mods? Especially early game ones? ty in advance.

@PapaJuicy Yep!
@Nim Yeah, they're evil bastards. Hermit crabs were not really intended to be so tough, but it's funny so I kept it in :D

I just want to say that Rimworld seagulls are even bigger bastards than their Earth-bound counterparts. One of them tried to go after my toddler. 10/10

Also Hermit crabs are deceptively tough.

are the devils claw leaves literally just a vegetable for food?

@Draegon1993 Hello, in the file BMT_Amphibious_Pinnipeds.xml under the 1.5\Defs\ThingDefs_Races directory, the reference to "BiomesIslands_Things/Pawn/Animal/Walrus/Dessicated_Whale" should be corrected to "BiomesIslands_Things/Pawn/Animal/Walrus/Dessicated_Walrus". Please verify this. Thank you!

Throws errors with Kenshi Fauna

@Draegon1993 thank you for the answer

@Invader Chimm Yes

Is this compatible with Vanilla Expanded Fishing?

@cant aim They will generally not spawn, but if they do spawn they'll struggle lol

@hojorabbit._. @Deklatis Neither are supposed to be massive haha, sounds like we messed up the draw size. I'll make a note of it for later fixing.

@PapaJuicy Sounds like a mod incomp issue

my sea creatures are only swimming in shallow water and even drafted cant move to deeper water. is this how it is?

Dumb question but if I set the fully aquatic animals like fish to be able to spawn in non island biomes, will they spawn and like insta die or will the game not spawn them

Were the Sealions supposed to be Dragon-sized lol

Are the walrus' supposed to be gigantic? Just curious lol

Would also be neat if reefs were very sensitive to human activity, so if you build or dump too much in the water or interact with the coral too much it starts to die/bleach. Could have a quest to destroy a nearby enemy island outpost or coastal pollution site damaging nearby reefs or somethin

@AAA A scuba diving or snorkeling activity would be really cool!

@Sir Cumcise Most likely, yes

hi, im having issue with unable to make stone bridge using coral stone, maybe its an incompatibility with vanilla expanded architect?

@Draegon1993 Especially if reefs can be sustainably (or unsustainably) harvested for valuable resources or made into a tourist attraction for Hospitality guests :D My pawns want to go scuba diving!

@Draegon1993
After the Pathfinding Framework version update,BrokenIsles,BiomesIslands_BorealArchipelago,BiomesIslands_DesertArchipelago,BiomesIslands_TundraArchipelago,BiomesIslands_TropicalArchipelago, I haven't seen these Archipelagos before when generating maps. Can a regulator be added to the map generation interface to adjust the probability of Archipelagos generation? Just like the Caverns generation probability regulator in 'Biomes! Caverns'

I need an CE compatible patch.

@AAA They are something I want for the future TLC update :D

Coral reefs would be beyond rad

Btw, green sea turtle showing its north submerged view while going south due to the first letter of "south" being capitalised in the texture name, lol.

@AlphaHawk59 Weird, setting them to terrestrial should work

How do I turn it off? In the pathfinding framework mod under pawn movement, Human is already set to terrestrial. Heres my mods if that helps: https://pastebin.com/ZXTWDc42

@Draegon1993 alright thanks for letting me know

@AlphaHawk59 It's a setting in Pathfinding Framework :D

can you turn off pawns being able to walk through deep water?

I'm getting an issue where the game gets caught in a loop trying to generate the local map, says it has an error (with the local map generation), then restarts generating the local map, only escape is to alt+f4, same issue on Biomes! polluted lands and I'm gonna post this over there too.

Yes, we are aware. We are going to do a very big and very thorough pass of fixing up many of the defs and improving the textures and features when we do the TLC update.

A large chunk of this mod's defs are malformed. It's been an issue since 1.4 and there is at least one mention in the "Bug Reporting: POST BUGS AND ISSUES HERE" discussion that pointed out that this was pointed out in June of 2024.

Location of every file that's broken (and thus every mod that is fully compatible with the following)
steamapps/workshop/content/294100/2038001322/1.5/Mod/{Mod Name}/Patches/*
Alpha Bees
Vanilla Factions Expanded
Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Core
Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Architect

Disappointing because the dude clearly knows something about it since this mod is compatible with PokeWorld, Vanilla Plants Expanded, Vanilla Animals Expanded, Vanilla Fishing Expanded, Fish Industry, Alpha Mythology, Alpha Animals, and Giddy Up 2.

I'm still piecing it together and might come back to edit this to try and provide people with instructions on how to get this to work with those mods.

Something I want to get a bit of a sanity check on. I'm playing on a colony that's on an Atoll, and for some reason any time a fish wanders into the Lagoon, it suddenly gets the urge to attack any walls nearby. I also notice that anything that wanders into the lagoon will eventually die of malnutrition, so I wonder if that is contributing to the problem.

The sanity check I need is mainly to see if this is something other people have had to deal with.

@Xyllisa Meem Paradox Station Not at the moment at least, sorry

Is there anyway to increase the chance of islands? For some reason boreal ones seem to spawn much less than temperate or tundra.

@PatoPixelado You're welcome! And same to you :D
