well those flak goggles still can't be worn with helmets

@Shepardina Those are the Ballistic Goggles.

what about flak gogles?

Is there an ETA to when the errors mentioned by Crystal Shard might be fixed?

Thanks to the mod Log After Def Error (Continued), I was able to determine that the XML error mentioned by @Sumatris and @Ms Mommy Memer is being caused by VAE_Headgear_GasMaskRestored, VAE_Headgear_NightVisionGogglesRestored, and VAE_Headgear_BallisticGogglesRestored; and that the error is due to the hatRenderedFrontOfFace property being removed in RimWorld 1.5.

I also get the same error as Sumatris. One line of optional code might be dependent on another mod, but overall this error is not fatal. It could just easily be removed or have "may require" added to the bit of xml code, or patched. Either way a fix to this would be appreciated.

After the 1.6 update of the mod, Rimworld keeps throwing me errors like this one:

XML error: <hatRenderedFrontOfFace>true</hatRenderedFrontOfFace> doesn't correspond to any field in type ApparelProperties. Context: <apparel>

Does this have something to do with the XML Extension toggle mentioned above, or is it something on your end?

@Lyn the Cookie

I assume the 1.6 update will be ready when it's ready?

1.6?

XML errors, starting on line 1380

Are people still getting errors with this mod?

Also, if you understand why the VE team removed these items, could you please explain it to me? Because I can't for the life of me understand why they would remove unique gear like said goggles. It's not like there's anything even remotely similar in the vanilla game, and not even in other mods.

Has the eye layer issue of the goggles been fixed? Would be the only reason for me to subscribe to this mod?

@Itkaiden: You can find the artifacts and plasma weapons in this mod -

Looks like some of the armor and weapons were removed from VFE: Insectoids 2

Still get some red errors from this mod, plz look into it.

Could you please add Hail Storm to Vanilla Events Expanded? (I... I'm a masochist.)

<layers>
<li>EyeCover</li>
</layers>
please for the flak goggles and other goggles

Can you make it so the flak goggles are eye layer and not headgear so you can wear them with helmets

Barriers and Landmines? Would love to see those again.

This mod causes a bunch of errors.

Think some of the mods change something, get red errors now.

would be really cool

Thank you for this mod! I cannot for the life of me understand why they removed all of these items, many of which were very useful. I wouldn't mind seeing the chemfuel barrel from Vanilla Expanded - Security added if possible.

Just a heads up friend!

@Monkeysnow: Oh no! Anyway...

Incompatible with Combat Extended

Small bugs: Flak Goggles and Night Vision Goggles of VAE\Defs\ThingDefs_Misc\Armor_industrial.xml should use <layers><li>EyeCover</li></layers> instead of "Overhead". This allows for use with Flak Helmet like old version.

Applies also for Gas Mask of VAPPE\Defs\ThingDefs_Misc\Apparel_Headgear.xml

Thank you so much for this!! The cape was literally the only reason i used Apparel and they took it away! Why!?

Would it be possible to get back the chem fuel barrel?

Could you also restore the animal feeder that was removed from Vanilla Farming Expanded?

I miss the tools and I am glad for this mod.
And considering micro managing .. somehow I have to put all those Inventory and Carry Mods to good use :)

The fun begins when you try to send 200kg of armed Space Marine with a 150kg Droppod ..

"not patched for CE..."

It seems like the goggles and gas mask is in the headgear layer, why is that? Shouldn't they be in the eyewear layer?

@Guide Dog If they're "not balanced" how is gene customization balanced by doing the same? And not everyone wants to do gene customization on every playthrough. It makes sense you should have tools for things your body can't do. Do you thing guns are shit because you could have a gun arm instead? Pretty weak logic, dude.

Can you guys make goggles to be the eyes layer? Now they're headgear

@Phoenixhydra These got removed because they're shit, they clutter the game, they're boring to micro or manage, and they're not balanced. They got made completely unnecessary by gene customization, and made custom genes look underpowered. Boom

@123nick thats exactly what i did locally, combat gas mask and gave it some better armour and better gas resistance but a more expensive crafting recipe.

Can I add this mid save?

I know but the rework for 1.4 had them remove the gas geysers as well as the chemfuel ponds and they never gave them back in the new mods.

I miss them

Now you're forced to go all the way to deep drills and deep scanning to get chemfuel and gas sources. That basically makes it pointless imho because by that time I'll have other sources of energy and built an entire grid around regular power so I'll never use helixien gas or need chemfuel to keep my base running.

@The Blind One
Gas system became it's own mod.

Somebody said this restores the gas geysers from the old 1.3 version. Is that true? Doesn't seem so in the description :/

(anyone know where / how to restore the gas geysers and chemfuel ponds?)

I never understood why the pickaxe was removed from VWE, it was so useful when paired with mountain bases and stuff.

Thank you!

Can the gas mask restoration be optional? i like the trapper hat, and summer hat, but the gas mask has no need to exist anymore because we have the vanilla gas mask. Alternatively, there could be an option to have it rebranded as a "armored gas mask" and given a bit of resistance/durability, perhaps. that keeps it unique from the vanilla gas mask and so it can exist alongside it.

does this mod restore biolab sunlamp from VFE Spacer?

Dude thank you, I was wondering where so many items went... especially the pickaxe and short wall

thoughts of restoring chemfuel barrels? From vanilla furniture expanded - security

thank you so much! i missed my short walls so dearly (:

Thanks for the mod.

Can you consider restoring the modern lamp from Vanilla Furniture Expanded too?

I notice that the Scalpel can not be used as a tool anymore. This means if you have a medicine expert they can not use the Scalpel as it is a weapon and not a tool. Is this a change that is possible to make?
