does this overlap with any other mods adding similar things?

oh wait i just realized you need the new dlc for it to queens to spawn :( Could you make them also spawn with just biology pretty please?
mcreight10 Aug 23 @ 8:40pm 
Hey sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you find/get queen insectoids? I cant find them anywhere.

The xenotype injector seems like just the thing I need for certain game ideas I have. Could ya explain how it works?

goon mod = Good mod

(Portraits of rim has no compatibility :( Is it possible to make at least colof of normal human face instead of eye and mouth flying in void of characters "head")
masternetra Aug 2 @ 8:01pm 
@Dingleberry von Mistwiesen - It is compatibilite in that it won't crash the game or anything, but the insectoids that normally build insectoid stuff in VFE Insectoid produced by the egg injectors won't build and just act as tamed animals.

this is my favourite mod! thank you for all your work, the splice queen is super cool!
masternetra Aug 1 @ 5:11pm 
With the egg injectors how long does it take for them to hatch? I see values like 0.5 which at this point guessing they're multipliers, but don't really tell me how long something takes to hatch

@Hernan_Graham
splice-queens have a female gene if you have "Big and Small" mod
Hernan_Graham Aug 1 @ 3:54am 
A male colonist who I uesd gentic rewriter convert in to Splice-Queen is still male.
Could you add the gene to force the Queen to be female?
Dingleberry von Mistwiesen Jul 31 @ 2:31pm 
How compatible is this wonderful mod with VFE Insectoid and VRE Insector?
Comrade Leanna Jul 31 @ 9:52am 
insect girl pretty :bkdrool:

Bug girls <3

How about add a gene that allow insectoid xenotypes to move fluently on slime floor :3
Hernan_Graham Jul 31 @ 6:33am 
Cover picture is so cute!!!
Wereton Furcas Jul 31 @ 6:12am 
wonderful, simply wonderful
Lovecraft Jul 31 @ 4:07am 
Could you make the xenotype icons available in the icons customization pls?
Paolini Jul 31 @ 2:13am 
based on the vanilla insects we all know and love(?)

Am gonna say that the queen should of be able to lay eggs for normal humans to be born

Make sure steam updated the mod.
Droider Jul 30 @ 3:56pm 
just bought odyssey. i see the locust but not the queen xeno. what is it called?
Lennoxicon  [author] Jul 30 @ 2:17pm 
Also, with Big and Small they have a couple extra genes.
Lennoxicon  [author] Jul 30 @ 2:11pm 
Update: Splice-Queen Xenotype
Splice-queens excel at raising animals and influencing people, and can inject regular insectoid eggs into animals (and humans) to grow an insectoid army. Bigger insectoids, like hive queens, require bigger bodies.
Droider Jul 30 @ 1:37pm 
dang, the two new xenos need odyssey, so sad
Furried Jul 30 @ 8:26am 
SPLICE QUEEN REAL
Corbies Jul 30 @ 6:59am 
I adore the art here. <3
Droider Jul 29 @ 9:15pm 
the jelly buffs only last 1 hour each time jelly is eaten, ending almost instantly
Chimbo Jul 20 @ 10:34am 
I came here thinking "Man, it'd be cool if this guy was planning on adding a Locust variant" and the absolute madman already did it. Cheers.
heilan9 Jul 19 @ 6:10am 
if I make a meal or desert (vanilla expanded cooking) using insect jelly will it have the same effects?
tv_head Jul 19 @ 12:12am 
Furried imagin if the hive queen xenotype has a gene that lets her choose the genotype of her offspring maybe the other xenotypes could be updated to being sterile to make the queen extra important to colony growth
Furried Jul 18 @ 1:43pm 
hive queen when?
Lennoxicon  [author] Jul 17 @ 4:40am 
UPDATE:
New Xenotype: Splice-Locusts!
Splice-Locusts are a rare caste that specializes in operating spacecraft and surviving in space. They are fast and capable of a little of bit everything needed to make a living on a ship, but need expensive drugs to keep alive.
Sikri Jul 14 @ 6:24pm 
@Droider Well a locust would be better at planting than a scarab, they could have a faster movement speed and a short flying leap
Droider Jul 14 @ 10:58am 
there was a past reddit post with designs for exactly those two. queen i like but i dont get how a ocust xenotype could differ from the previous ones
Sikri Jul 14 @ 5:50am 
do you think you might add in locusts and the hive queen? i think they would be super cool
Droider Jul 12 @ 9:16am 
could it be possible to add an ideology precept that nullifes the mood penalty from splice transformation?
Droider Jul 10 @ 7:57pm 
commenting so ill know when you update, love this mod

Hello, I used this mod in the 1.6 unstable version. During the battle with the insect nest, I noticed that a pawn with the immunity to poisoning gene was knocked down by the poisoning effect directly caused by the invader's stinger attack. Is this a bug? (This message was translated using a translator.)

Dumb question but does the jelly metabolisim work if the jelly is cooked into a meal?
miliyx Jun 20 @ 5:25am 
the insector cover art is a baddie
Lennoxicon  [author] Jun 20 @ 3:17am 
1.6 Removed copy localed assemblies
Lennoxicon  [author] Jun 11 @ 4:49pm 
1.6 Update
In 1.6, turning into a bug is now considerably worse for your mental health.

No no, let Alpharius cook :smilechillet:
like 17 slugs i think May 10 @ 8:11am 
"Alpharius" i lowkey get you

Hello, is this still being worked on and maintained?
Karb Apr 22 @ 2:00pm 
The screenshots for the mod make me once again wonder if the developers know that the "Thorax" is the middle part of an insect and not the hind part.
The hind part is called the "abdomen"
dominickwriter Apr 19 @ 6:39pm 
okay red baron what the actual fuck are you talking about?
Furried Apr 18 @ 12:26am 
red baron what the f*ck
