thats not difficuilty tho, thats just tediousness. Aight then, guess thats it then

Hi, my colonist is stuck at 91% of fruit wrath and it hasn't progressed in a few days. Is it normal ?

Cyber Witch ~, try use spoilers. There is a specific discussion thread specifically for it. Difficulty is intended.

I really tried to like the mod but a lot of the balanced just arent very good. The big fleshmold lake is propably the best example. There isnt anything fun about having +100 artillery throw acid at you the moment you enter it. This issue could be fixed by not having the entire map be revelaed and make it work like the regular cave system.
And even then the spawn rate of both the map, the fog system and the nest is way too high even when set to the lowest in the settings. You practically have to bring an army each time you want to analyze the console and each time its a slow slog of frustration.

Doesnt help that vanillas haul system is awful.

Spinel, There's one in the addon for this mod, the razor shard
Or did you mean something else?

Spinel, you can write it down in suggestion discussion thread. I looking through ideas, when I done with my own ones. Or maybe someone else will see it there and also be interested.

If it’s alright, may I share a small idea? I was thinking it might be interesting to have one of the Anomaly entities be usable as a weapon, perhaps something like a sword or a gun. Would that be something you’d consider?

Well, yes I just did and I guess it was intended :P Even my researchers came to the conclusion that it may cause a system crash :D A good one, though I'm still having a problem with the amount of pies, maybe I just caravan them out :P

lloki, finish studying it and you will unlock ability to destroy it, like with most anomalies.

But seriously, it seems to be broken. The game is running like shit, I have no idea how contain it. Can it be stopped with replicating?

What I'm supposed to do with 1699 pieces of pie?! :D Why it have to be 1 pc per stack? Can you imagine how my base looks like? Could maybe consider nerfing it? I think I need to use a devmode to clear it up :P

Please do something about the transmitter, it's way too overtuned. Losing an entire colony for mishandling this thing once isn't fair. The nociosphere is nicer than this thing.

ZXCBOOBSDESTROYER, if you think it a bug, then report it in Bugs discussion thread for further figuring out.

Yes, I know, but I think this is a bug, because in the Biotech DLS is an architect of the genome forever young and the effect is activated and the person dies respectively

ZXCBOOBSDESTROYER, not sure what is that genome, but speedometer give such effect, if pawn reached it max age or ageless vanilla way or modded .

Is it normal that with the genome belief youth and others (which affect growth rate), the artifact speedometer begins to count to death (at the moment when you should be 18 years old)? Is it so conceived or inexpensive? In advance grade for the answer!

(I deleted this post, to correct a typo the same moment the answer to it came in. )
Oh, the storyteller part was just meant as an answer to skipping enemies near it being an interesting way to deal with the box. - Ariadne can be a rather mild story teller who barely sends raids, especially early on. As such, you won't have many opportunities to feed the box by skipping enemies next to it with her. That's what I meant there.

Dracon, Oh, now I see what you meant. You can also consider using just animals, cause they work too, but it just take a bit more of them. If animals not spawning themself, then animal summon ritual from DLC works well as a source.

Dracon, not sure how storyteller can affect it, but same as with any anomaly after your study it fully you can deactivate/destroy it.

@[Zerg03] MrHydralisk
Sadly it doesn't work too well with Ariadne Archduchess, since she barely sends you any real threats. But at least no one is loosing limbs.

Can you deactivate that thing somehow or do you have to shoot "forget" it on an asteroid?

Artnem, yep, it intended. Everything will be explained in study notes.

Dracon, interesting solution.

@Sando333
So it really was that thing that keeps making noises lol. Luckily I walled that thing in on time, I could use skip to get some of my enemies there though...

hey, is the vatrushka meant to be constantly spitting out slices ? my colony has like 40 of the damn things and it still wont stop, the beeping from the new slices is affecting me like how i would expect a few anomalies to.

That Box is diabolical. Many appendages have been sacrificed to this thing including that of people not of my faction...which ended up making me go to war with two factions i was neutral with. So i decided to wall it off til i could get a researcher healthy enough to focus learn but then it apparently whines loudly until it is fed it's allotted limbs . This is literally like having a baby from hell. After two people including my researcher were downed from the whining . I sent someone to move it and it just ATE them. Just a whole ass person . Sir, if you wanted to punch me in the face. I could just have bought you a plane ticket to do so. This single handedly destroyed my non reload game after a raid came in. Funny as hell, but now i need therapy. So thanks for that.

Evan ☆/Eve ♥, sadly I currently can't spend much time for separating parts into diff framework mod, but maybe one day I would end up doing it.

Oh yeah, I see the GitHub link now, I was blind, I'm so sorry lol. I'll have a look, though, I'd rather not necessarily make your mod a hard dependency, since I don't want to force people to use your mod's content if they don't want to. If you have a separate mod just for the framework though I'd gladly make that a dependency! Otherwise, thank you! I'll have a look! Much love ♥

Evan ☆/Eve ♥, it have a github link in mod description. If you wanna, you can use Anomalies Expected as hard dependency, since it have a lot of framework functionalities with universal methods (unlike how DLC was hardcoded per each entity) that can be used for new anomalies and overall improvements over Anomaly DLC code, which for some reason was undercooked in some places. Usually for sub mods development discussion we using my discord server, since it highly possible that what person need already implemented in AE and doesn't need additional coding.

Is the source code for this mod publicly available? I'm looking to make an Anomaly entity mod of my own, and I'm looking for resources to learn how to do that. I'm an experienced programmer, but new to RimWorld C# mod development, so any information on how to set up a custom Anomaly entity that I can then give special behaviour would be really helpful!

ansley.seth, it intended, cause it calls colonists to itself, when it not happy (hungry, when have more than 0 db noise). Just feed it and the db will go down. .

GROMMI, write me in discord, cause I have a friend with PayPal you can use as alternative.

Hi, I attempted to donate a small amount to support your work. But, I'm hesitant to use Boosty. Do you have a PayPal or something that I could donate to? If not, I could give Boosty another shot I suppose.

Yeah i guess it really was that, i went back on the save file just to check and the re-install works and i actually got xp from studying it inside my base.

Guess everythings ok after all. Thanks for the info.

ShepirotGamer, that's the neat part, you can move it to a new spot through reinstall, but not minify, cause it will unminify itself. It made to avoid abuse of just minifying thing and hiding it somewhere.

I think the mod glitched a bit then actually cause as soon as it landed i tried to minify it or whatever and it just acted like nothing happened.

ShepirotGamer, you could move it tho, just like most other entity buildings from AE. It especially annoying for some players, since this is the downside of Anomaly DLC itself, that if playing without Monolith it not showing info about multiplier right away on the screen.

Ah that must have been it then, yeah. I mean since i couldn't move it didn't think of making anything for it.

ShepirotGamer, was it outdoors, cause it have x0 multiplier on study, when it not inside the room?

Nice mod, tho i've been having issues with the Industrial Metal Box.

Seen things about how you just gotta keep researching it but i kept doing it for near a year ingame and nothing at all popped up. Just decided to delete it with dev mode since its annoying to make the pawns stop trying to get their legs chopped off.

Dunno if it was glitched but an addition to make certain events not happen would be nice.

Ooohh thanks, I'l check it.

Turambar, there is a button, when someone in the HBed.

I still haven't managed to do anything with the hospital bed yet, just putting a pawn in it doesn't seam to do anything, nor doing surgery on it.

Overall I love this mod! I just hate the blood puddle/lake, they are tedious to manage.

And I absolutely love the speedometer, but it's completely OP. As in, the "emergency button" can ensure a whole raid is wiped out in 10s, corpses and item hauling included. It makes me think about this scene (and I'm not even at the maximum level though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9GFyZ5LREQ

Maybe some bigger drawbacks would be good for maintaining a little balance. Not for fun though :D

Hades the King, for issues always report it in Bugs discussion thread.

But from what I see it not saying anything related to Anomalies Expected. There is thing that you removed AE Addon and game just saying that it can't find reference, but it one time after removal of mod from the game. And other thing it complains a lot about VAE Insanity, which should be reported to their devs.

Not sure if this is an insanity mod problem or anomalies expected problem but having them both together causes a bunchhh of red errors upon startup.

thank you thank you

Hades the King, didn't play much with Insinity, but I think it happens when interacting with anything that can be studied, so AE should work too.

Ah so you wont lose sanity when researching the anomalies in this mod?

Hades the King, if it not stated otherwise in either of mod descriptions, then it definetly compatible. Insanity changing side of Anomaly that not changed by AE, so there is no overlap to even have compatability issues.

Hello, is this compatible/ works fine when run with Vanilla Anomaly Expanded - Insanity?

Akitan, It would be better, if you use spoilers or send it in proper feedback discussion threads in future.

Lake was intentionally made this way as constant threat for the colony till it solved. Cause I was missing defending against horde of fleshbeasts, while Lake was adding a new gameplay experience with need to make a containment area that was refilling with enemies and needed to be purged from time to time. If you really need to, then you could also adjust the timings per each none wave fleshbeasts spawn in mod files , but I can look into making a mod setting for it later.

Speedometer will get more content related to it, so it will get balanced out in next update.
