It was 84 years of waiting, hope it comes before gta 6
EvilNecroid Sep 11 @ 5:42am 
lets hope the mantodeans dont eat the next coder too
ElTwoFour  [author] Sep 11 @ 12:36am 
Even assuming I abandon the code for just that... there is the rest of the code my man. lol Anyways I'm leaving it till tomorrow to see if they respond.. .then I'll move on to the next coder who offered to take the job.
TurtleShroom Sep 10 @ 12:57pm 
Try Zarenjel, OP, or pay Tarunchuk... or just ditch the C-Sharp for the egg entirely. That's what I would do.
EvilNecroid Sep 9 @ 11:57pm 
really? 2 coders gone? r the mantodeans eating them?
i wish i could help but im a noob
ElTwoFour  [author] Sep 9 @ 10:26pm 
I may have lost contact with the new coder? I'm starting to think my code might be cursed... >.<
EvilNecroid Sep 4 @ 10:38am 
cool :)
i kinda cant live without this mod
ElTwoFour  [author] Sep 4 @ 9:55am 
I have a guy looking at it now. Not sure what happened to the first guy. Hope he's OK.
EvilNecroid Sep 4 @ 4:24am 
MIA? damn :(
hopefully everything works out soon
isiarca Aug 19 @ 2:21pm 
We understand. Thanks for letting us know.
ElTwoFour  [author] Aug 19 @ 1:53pm 
Also far as I know the comments have never been locked here.
ElTwoFour  [author] Aug 19 @ 1:53pm 
Sorry for late replies! I started a new job and everything is in a kerfuffe. I intend to seek another coder this weekend as my current one is MIA. Hopefully they're OK but I can't wait longer.
Droider Aug 19 @ 11:44am 
was it just me or were he comments locked for a bit
RandomEdits Aug 18 @ 6:18am 
I can't wait for the URMC to have another target to shoot at!
isiarca Aug 10 @ 11:37pm 
I've seen too many people get downright embarrassing about mod updates for me to enjoy EvilNecroid's joke, so tell your friend to relax and proceed without undue haste. The mod is good enough to wait for, after all.
EvilNecroid Aug 10 @ 9:44pm 
how goes the updating?
tell ur friend to hurry up lol
InsideOutFace Aug 7 @ 11:51pm 
I will wait for this mod as long as it takes, and probably squeal with glee when it gets updated. You rock, ElTwoFour. <3
xenonprime Aug 6 @ 10:26am 
Thank you for keeping us updated! And thank you for continuing to work on this!
finalshdw Aug 3 @ 9:38pm 
cool, I have to learn how to really play 1.6 to the max before I start another colony with this one. I love it. Can't wait to play this with them.
EvilNecroid Jul 31 @ 1:20am 
cant wait :)
would be cool if we can make a gravship out of insect jelly lol
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 30 @ 10:35pm 
1.6 is coming however I'm away from home for the next week and I'm waiting on my code guy to help me out with something. I apologize for the wait and thank you for your patience.
harhell Jul 30 @ 6:40pm 
1.6?
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 24 @ 2:48pm 
I have someone working on it already.
TurtleShroom Jul 24 @ 2:16pm 
What makes the eggs do something different? I mean, there must be a reason it's there.

(BTW, contact Zaljerem. Tell him TurtleShroom sent you. He has a lot of Mods to update, but sometimes, if a C-Sharp update is easy, he can do it in a few minutes... or days, but don't push him! He has a life!)
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 24 @ 12:54pm 
heh, most of the weapons don't have thaat much sentience. :D
Droider Jul 24 @ 9:46am 
imagine being born as a blunt weapon
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 23 @ 11:07pm 
@isiarca, I know right! Mantodeans in the "lore" are actually up to 12 feet tall too... so they're much bigger than humans.
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 23 @ 11:06pm 
@TurtleShroom, I know. The code used for that specifically has extra bits that add additional options for me for it. I brought up the old egglayer code to simply point out theres been C# in the mod since then.
TurtleShroom Jul 23 @ 9:25pm 
Wait, I think I know what eggs you mean. You are talking about the ones that spawn new, baby Mantodeans, right, that you craft at the Brood Mother Bench?

Did you know that doesn't need C-Sharp as of V1.6 ? You can simply set the Hatching Comp as a Pawn Kind Def of a Mantodean controlled by the player (the same Player Mantodean Pawn Kind Def used in your Scenario).
isiarca Jul 23 @ 9:21pm 
Just saw a photo that was photoshopped to make a praying mantis and a human look like they're the same size. It's a shame (though understandable) that it isn't possible to link to it here. Anyway, I thought of this mod immediately upon seeing it, so take that as you will.
TurtleShroom Jul 23 @ 9:20pm 
Your Mod had C-Sharp, Eltwofour? I had no idea.

IIRC, you could actually decouple from that C-Sharp and use the Vanilla Factions Expanded system for egg laying.
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 23 @ 4:53pm 
In progress. Some code updating is needed and my coder has life responsibilities. I apologize for the wait!
harhell Jul 23 @ 8:35am 
1.6?
Latex Santa Jul 18 @ 7:05am 
@ElTwoFour
Thank goodness that this mod will be updated soon-ish.
Then, I can resume my Starship Troopers modded game.
This time, with an actual ship to drop my grunts out of - TRULY Mobile Infantry.
I always get the jitters before a combat drop...
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 16 @ 12:18am 
@TurtleShroom, not adding C-Sharp, updating C-Sharp. There has been C# in this mod since before I took over... well if you had the egglaying add on anyways.
TurtleShroom Jul 15 @ 7:45pm 
I look forward to the update! Please don't change the Def Names this time!
TurtleShroom Jul 15 @ 7:44pm 
Oh, you're adding some C-Sharp elements now? Interesting...
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 15 @ 6:29pm 
@SkeletorBro, It will be updated soon. Working through some code based issues. I'm not a C# person myself (at least not good) so I've got a friend of mine who has been helping out... helping out. :D

Hopefully this week but I'll keep everyone updated! Sorry for the wait!
Droider Jul 15 @ 8:00am 
its getting updated soon
SkeletorBro Jul 15 @ 6:44am 
Glad to see this mod return, loved the original, however I only just found out about this continuation and it seems it doesn't work with the new update/DLC.
Just curious on when it might get updated?
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 10 @ 11:04am 
@[DP] fenrissama, I am afraid thats a bit beyond my ken. I appreciate you thinking about me though! AVP is a pretty heft mod with its own code and I'm not particularly good at coding right now. I've mostly been lucky and had very kind people assist me with code and only made very small modifications to it myself.

If you're interested in Aliens I can give you this discord link to a WIP Alien mod that is quite fantastic! https://discord.gg/qQKkFYTP

Predators sadly I do not think are being worked on by anyone but I do hope you either find someone or that someone takes it up on their own.
[DP] fenrissama Jul 10 @ 9:25am 
Hi! I was wondering if I could bribe you to update/continue a mod that isn't being worked on anymore, as parts of it seem similar to this mod (the AVP mod, here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2034103876 )
Didn't know if this was the best place to reach out to you, or discord or your kofi. Willing to discuss prices!
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 5 @ 3:13am 
@Droider, I want to be clear the "manto clothing" is only going to be one (maybe two) items to help with some royalty dlc issues. (Can't make royal mutagens.) As far as power, yes. As Mantodeans move into Industrial tech levels I will be adding power systems to them. These will be mantodean themed of course.
Droider Jul 4 @ 5:43pm 
so just curious, you said you were going to make special mant clothing? if thats true, are you planning to make something to slowly replace other vanilla features, like power generation?
The Doom Slayer Jul 4 @ 12:33pm 
i have a few ideas raptor and blood shrimps and dyrads and perhapse if you can some vanilla insectoid 2 mechanics
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 4 @ 11:49am 
You mean like they took the genetics of an Alpha Animal and made a caste from it then? mmm... Could be fun. Any specific animal in mind?
The Doom Slayer Jul 4 @ 11:47am 
like a animal for alpha animals but made manto IDK enymore
ElTwoFour  [author] Jul 4 @ 11:40am 
@The Doom Slayer, an alpha animals reference? How do you mean? What do you want it to do? I will say my main limiting factor on making animals is textures. I don't make most of my own textures cause I'm still not the best artist so I normally purchase an artists time and skill. :P

But let me know what you're looking for! I can't promise it but I'll sure take ideas!
The Doom Slayer Jul 4 @ 7:49am 
can you make a lesser cast that is sort of a alpha animals refrence
