For some reason I expected the photosynthesis to work with sun lamps and put one in my single phytokin's room, unfortunately not the case but would be cool to see!
Compatibility with Dubs Skylights would also be very neat in a similar vein.

@Rainoa, This has been kind of a feature from the very beginning. You need an extra patch to fix it.
Rainoa Apr 21 @ 1:56pm 
anyone else have issue using the saplingchild gene in a custom race the children dont list the father? also children show as baseliner ?

@Black_Overlord @Duckpower2017
It's biological, at a rate of 0.01 per biological age year. Now I think the offset that this calculates is a multiplier of the psychic sensitivity value? (not 100% sure on this), but if I'm reading this right, over the course of 1000 years, you should eventually get 10x psychic sensitivity.

Is there any chance for you guys to make a Harbinger Tree based phytokin for anomaly?

I would also like to raise the possibility of putting down sapling children in planter boxes or such. That bare soil is ruining the look of my mountain base.
Rainoa Apr 7 @ 10:44pm 
i had that same issue for a while it happen sometime after highmates race or w/e they called had a update but idk if it was them for sure but i left them out of a new save build and i didnt have that issue anymore
Toaster Apr 7 @ 10:06pm 
I am playing 1.5 and the heads on the Poluxkin does not appear. Is there a fix for this or smth?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Apr 6 @ 5:52pm 
Yeah, the dead parents might be blocking the birth... I'll look into it, but can you please report it using the bug report form? I will forget otherwise
vassandor Apr 6 @ 5:33pm 
I have a saplingchild that doesnt get birthed when the time runs out. Both of the parents are dead, which I think is the reason for this bug.
I also have it on a 1 tile stony soil the sea, because I play on a skerry with ocular forest and there was no soil to plant it, so I made one with the moisture pump and a bridge.
Rainoa Apr 5 @ 6:41pm 
can we get a update that allows planting the baby into soil from mods that allow us to terraform ground into soil and or tilable planter boxes?
Edemstreij Apr 5 @ 4:47pm 
My phytokin have zero fertility. How can they get pregnant? Or do they have different fertilization mechanics?
QiamOnline Apr 4 @ 9:36am 
Does the Phytokin intro quest only work with base game storytellers? I use SOS2 storytellers and never got that quest.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Apr 2 @ 6:00am 
Yes
Potato0 Apr 1 @ 11:00pm 
I cannot seem to extract ovum for IVF, is this normal for gauranlenkin and others?
Vulkandrache Apr 1 @ 9:38pm 
Go to the Xenotype file and remove Saplingbirth from the list.
FoxFireDogs Apr 1 @ 9:11pm 
Can you tell me how I can develop my village of dryad people if half-breeds appear when creating offspring? (due to the absence of males in this race)
Piegum Mar 31 @ 9:23am 
Mr Sarg have there been any plans for a horror phytokin? seeing we got one for basicly every dlc a anomaly themed one would be awesome~!
Black_Overlord Mar 30 @ 3:53pm 
Which age Progressive Attunement gene uses for buff calculation: Biological or Chronological one?
THROBERT Mar 29 @ 8:29pm 
im unable to feed infants
the parents just stop feeding them halfway through
Kaschey Mar 28 @ 12:28am 
The polux bushes are acting funky. Their radius occasionally suddenly gets smaller despite me not losing any poluxkins and today, it suddenly dropped to mere 1 cell radius. Any idea what could've caused it? All my poluxkins are in the colony, not traveling and not having any health issues.
StockSounds Mar 24 @ 1:25am 
I could've sworn I asked here once already, but it doesn't seem to be here. Is there any chance of this being extended for Anomaly's harbinger tree?
Vulkandrache Mar 21 @ 10:37am 
The polux tree, how is the performance impact of that and the radius bonus?
Lets say i had 80 trees and 15 pawns with the gene.
Should i not?
James Stone Mar 18 @ 7:39pm 
After not playing for a few months, my Phytokin pawn has a huge red x over her. I suspect it's something to do with her skin. Can I use dev mode to add a new skin? Would changing her gene do it?

Sorry for asking here, I searched around the web and couldn't find an answer
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Mar 17 @ 5:43pm 
Intended
Sotetsu Mar 17 @ 3:20pm 
Phytokin are options for both "Extract Ovum" and "Implant Embryo" surgeries, but they don't actually do anything. The patient goes to the bed and then the surgery task disappears. With how they reproduce, I'm not sure if the bug is that those options shouldn't exist at all, or they should exist and should work. If it is the latter, could you add a way for Phytokin to be artificially inseminated? My Phytokin has the "be a parent" aspiration but is married to a lady, and I'd love for her dreams to come true.
Olfan Mar 16 @ 2:19pm 
One of my phytokin's companion dryads died recently, and now I can't summon a new one because "A maximum of two dryads…can be alive at the same time". Do I really have to kill the remaining one, is there no way to just replace the one I lost?
Xhandhul Mar 14 @ 11:18pm 
animakin are appearing as floating heads and missing their bodies D:
Alfonse Mar 5 @ 3:53pm 
The issue with the heads disappearing is due to a Humanoid Alien Races update causing conflicts when a combination of other mods are running (EPOE and XML Extensions with BetterLoading/FasterGameReloading seem to be confirmed, but I've seen at least one report from someone who wasn't running that combination). Personally confirmed that removing HAR fixed the issue on my end.
Jesse LeStache Mar 1 @ 1:29am 
is there a way to speed up sapling children with dev mode?
burritoexspress2006 Feb 27 @ 5:58pm 
I think the phytokin missing head conflict came with an update, I had a colony running already and a bunch of mods updated around the same time. It could be big&small frame work, medieval overhaul, or regrowth: core. IDK I haven't fixed the problem either
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Feb 26 @ 3:58pm 
Are they pregnant?
Adyother Feb 26 @ 12:00pm 
My Phytokin can not seed a babytree.... no button nothing. The mood is max
Furious_Pixel Feb 26 @ 5:21am 
Anyone else experiencing an issue where the Phytokin spawn without their special hair? assuming its a mod conflict but i cant figure out whats causing it
Narzian Feb 24 @ 6:52pm 
I am having a problem, usually the phytokin pawns spawn wiouth head, im playing with medieval overhaul and alien races mod, idk if this makes them conflict
StockSounds Feb 10 @ 3:30pm 
So if this is supposed to be based on each of the DLC trees, would we expect to ever get a Harbinger Tree Phytokin?
Just out of curiosity, I don't even have Anomaly.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Feb 4 @ 3:27pm 
No, sorry. First time I've heard it!
Karambo Feb 4 @ 3:10pm 
@Sarg Bjornson alright, thank you. do you know by any chance which kind of mod could cause this?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Feb 4 @ 1:58pm 
Nope, that doesn't happen
Karambo Feb 4 @ 1:53pm 
hi everyone. i just wanted to ask if its normal that the sapling child get a bunch of random traits none of the parents have? in my case the sapling child of my baseliner and poluxkin has many neanderthals-genes, besides the poluxkin genes.
TaikaJamppa Feb 3 @ 11:59am 
One question: Is there a gene possibly in the works, that actually requires sunlight, that can also be provided with sun lamps? I mean, that would be just like the Sims series' Plantsim... at least in Sims 2 they could just stay under sun lamps and their photosynthesis would work...
Daugustus Feb 2 @ 12:58pm 
I had a Phytokin who was unable to plant a sapling. It kept giving me a warning that the pawn needed to plant their sapling even though the pawn did not show they were pregnant in their health tab. I could not get the warning to go away. Is there a special way to have pawns plant their saplings?
Duckpower2017 Feb 1 @ 12:57pm 
ok so uh maybe a stupid question, but does progressive attunement use biological age or chronological age. sorry if i am asking to much
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Jan 7 @ 6:51am 
They queue the job on their own
berckgamer Jan 7 @ 12:35am 
how do i make the poluxians eat the wasterpacks
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Jan 6 @ 12:23pm 
Phytokin only understand "mother"
Ведро Jan 6 @ 12:15pm 
why is Fiton's father registered as a stepfather if it should be a relative?
moonfish Jan 5 @ 5:12am 
polluxkin only get a mood debuff when they dont consume waste packs. From the wording I was expecting them to fall into a coma and to get an alert that they were getting low but nothing happened aside from a small mood debuff
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Jan 1 @ 4:58pm 
No, working as intended. They want the sun. Lack of sun doesn't kill them, just makes them need food too
Lanto Jan 1 @ 9:57am 
Photosynthesis is not fulfilled by sunlight lamps and anything coded in similar fashion. Seems like an oversight that I'd like to see fixed
