Is it no longer possible to have Robust + Toughness anymore, or did I mess up my mods?

so pretty much, the luciferium dependancy gene is a straight upgrade over normal luciferium usage. As opposed to needing about 12 per year to sustain a single colonist you only need 6? and for a huge buff of 6 metabolic efficiency? insane.

My pawns don't take luciferium even when they have a deficiency. I have it on take luciferium for addictions, Is this because it's not technically an addiction? I'm not sure how to make them take it automatically instead of me manually doing it.

@Jiven That's vanilla bug, not this mod. In order to make the dependency appear, you have to force them to use the drug at least one time. But this is unbalanced because you can force them not to use it instead. The bug have been existing since long time ago. Maybe you'd better report that to the official devs, Idk whether they would fix though. Because there's so many reports already there.

I saved a Uhlan child and let him grow in my colony. When he reached adulthood, the Luciferium Dependency didn't activate: my stack of 14 Luciferium stood untouched for over a year and he didn't have any problem functionning.
How do I help you to resolve this bug ?

I know it's a request made years late, but I don't suppose there is any chance of being able to toggle off the wings in the mod menu, much like ears/tales for Highmates? I love getting a new Hussar or Uhlan pawn, but the wings just feel tonally off to me personally.

I'm dumb, I fixed the problem just had to update my game. Apologies for the confusion

Sorry, cannot reproduce that bug, it loads fine for me

It appears this mod is making it so no factions spawn on the map when generating the world in a new game. I've taken all my mods out 1 by 1 and have narrowed it down to this mod, not sure why its doing that. Also used the bug report form to report this

One major gripe I've had with VE: Hussars for awhile, the infographic is not accurate for Hussars. They actually have a metabolic efficiency of -3 due to the fact the Random Weapon Aptitude is added after generation, without it they have 0 but with it they have -3.

Honestly I think the Random Weapon Aptitude should just be dropped entirely, it's a gimmick lets be real. I always remove it from all my Hussars because needing 75% more food just to be bawler with what could be a pointy stick, isn't worth it.

No

Will glidewings allow pawns to fly in the new game update? Or will there be a new set of wings that will make pawns able to fly?

Found the culprit! Will be fixed on next push

The problem with giant is that it sets some body parts to decimal values, which when below .5 causes them to be counted as "weakened" and apply negative effects. This effects the Brain, Tongue & Eyes lowering consciousness, talking, eating & sight. They never heal the last few decimals of HP.

Inversely, some body-parts that are above .5 count as "enhanced" such as the heart, lungs, sternum, kidney, liver & stomach, which affects breathing, blood filtration/pumping & digestion.

Compared to ever-growing from VRE: pigs which seems to never set a body part to a decimal value and thus suffers no negative effects from their increased body part HP (well food but that's not relevant).

The only mods installed were the dependencies, harmony and Vanilla Expanded Framework.

Not as far as I can see

giant gene is still bugged

I have a strange question, but why uhlans is uhlans? Like in real history uhlans are light cavalry and hussars are heavy cavalry. So, i think name them "dragoon", "reiter" or "cuirassier" would be logically. Yes, that's stupid.

Is it true that if bulletproof skin turns sharp damage into blunt it is resisted by the pawns blunt resist instead of sharp resist on the body part hit? Because if that's the case, that's actually pretty terrible, sharp resistance is way more available than blunt resist and in armor, a low penetration sharp attack can easily be given a 100% chance to be grazed, turning to blunt and being halved, while bulletproof skin gene could allow it to do full damage.

pls pls PLSS make it so that glidewings double/triple the amount of jumpack distance you can go

Are others having a bug where the Luciferium ticks don't actually start till the first time you have them luciferium?

@haunzter1 @Mizaria Bulletproof Skin works as written, although yes, words like kevlar and deflection are confusing. All this gene does is prevent bleeding from small wounds, and has no effect on damage taken at all. So if a pawn without this gene takes 14 damage with bleeding, a pawn with it will take 14 damage but without bleeding.
@haunzter1 "it makes it so that blunt damage that your armor would otherwise tank is instead tanked by the body." - You are stating a simple assumption as a fact, and yes, this assumption is incorrect.

There's been several complaints going around since last year for misleading infographic, might want to fix that

Consider reporting the bugs properly.

@Mizaria I confirm. I noticed the same thing. The giant gene is bugged.
Just imagine. Brain 13/13.2 Forever from birth. It's sad to be uhlan..

sadly i think thats the case

So the random weapon aptitude isnt a gene itself? It's just locked to the two hussar xenos?

Do war casket weapons have aptitude?

@Mizaria, I noticed that as well and have begun removing it from my younger melee supersoldiers. I still keep it on the older ones to boost Ever-Growing from VRE Pigskin. The body size multiplier does eventually turn them into bullet sponges though, which is why I leave it off the shooters. On 15k cap 500% threat, I'm seeing legendary Siegebreaker nearly shot off of them in caravan ambushes, so you may want to roll them into warcaskets that don't degrade.

@haunzter1, it's not entirely clear how Bulletproof Skin works based on the description, but your armor should be mitigating damage down before it gets to the skin layer – if that happens, it halves the damage and converts it to blunt, in which case BS would seem to do nothing. My best guess is that it's a niche gene for a nudist/tribal/child/dodge build. You should normally just eat the sharp damage and run Superclotting for +1 metabolism efficiency.

bulletproof skin gene is (unintentionally I think) bad. it makes it so that blunt damage that your armor would otherwise tank is instead tanked by the body.

not yet, even did a full uninstall and reinstall of the mod to make sure it was up to date

@Mizaria, it just updated again, do you know if it fixed that issue <3?

more specifically it looks due to rounding, brains and eyes and similar round down under max hp and become weakened while legs and arms round up over max hp.

this rounding includes to bionics like detox lungs

newest update made the giant gene behave weird, all body parts got a decimal added but not healed up to the new max resulting in all health stats (sight, consciousness, hearing, etc) counting as weakened

finally, just what i needed
throwing club aptitude

"flamethrower weapon aptitude" is not necessary because the weapon does not require pressure.

Howdy, are the Armored Speed/Unconstrained Genes supposed to not overwrite the Naked Speed gene?

Fucking bravo on that speedy fix fellas

I can confirm about the wings @Mr. J

Seems the Glidewings are rendering in front of the torso when pawns are facing south without any other clothing on. Also saw luciferium need not kicking in for an Uhlan I raised since childhood. Lastly, luciferium dependency seems to run on 5/30/60 thresholds instead of 10/20/30 that the gene says in game, though this was on that same Uhlan I raised from childhood after I gave them luciferium.

Hi, kinda weird but finishing enemies off doesnt grant kill satiety

It only kicks in after some age. I don't remember which.

I have a 19 yo uhlan I raised from age 9 and he doesn’t need luci despite it being listed on needs. Not sure where the insight is. My hussar needs gojuice so he’s working

The description only mentions armor and functionally it also works like that. But was wondering whether its a flavor fail that hussar's still receive movement speed penalties from weapons?

hello, can you add coffeine impervious and nikotine? impervious/dependent as a gene ...? for users of vanilla cooking expanded

Luciferium kicks in at a certain age yes.

so i recruited a uhlan (evil hussar w red wings) and hes an absolute BEAST. i caputured him as a child and raised him. He is now 15 years old and he does not require luciferum as of yet. is that a bug or does that only kick in when they turn 18??? its the only uhlan ive seen in my game so far (30 hours) so they seem excedingly rare. I think they are way more fun than hussars. Demon time!

10/10 mod very well balanced with the hunger rate and the luciferium dependancy

Can I give a pawn Luciferium Dependency after they develop an addiction to "cure it"? Or does it not work retroactively?

I see, thank you for elaborating! I am mostly curious about any balance changes/feature aditions, which is why I wanted to ask for change logs. Good luck with the updating!

We're in a whirlwind of bug fixes right now, caused by 1.5, fixing 20 bugs a day. You can check the commits on our github but there isn't changelogs available at this time.
