How do I use the teleporter on caravans? I remember it being a feature in VFE Insectoids 1

Technically they've licensed the original VFE Insectoid stuff as CC Share-Alike, which means I could leave it up. If Oskar asks, though, I suppose I'll pull it as a gesture of goodwill. If they didn't want to allow derivative works, though, they should have left the license NoDerivatives. Not everyone holds to as strict a ruleset as I.

uh, the plasma weapons in this mod might be on a chopping block soon because oskar posted a teaser for a mod with a guy holding one of the plasma weapons on the rimworld discord

we will see what happens tho

Don't have a log because when a mod causes map generation to fail, it will also fail to generate traces or logs. To add to incompatibility, rimnauts 2 also causes the same problem with this mod.

I can confirm- I was trying to figure out what was breaking world generation.

based on what the log analyzer was saying, it seems to be a conflict between Vehicle Framework, VFE Insectoids, realistic planets, Random Goodwill, and this mod.

It's not "directly posted here" because this is the first I've heard of it. I don't have the issue at all with a ~300 count mod lists, I just tested them in a small list together and maps generate fine. Have you a log? Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Since it's not directly posted here, this mod has a hard conflict with VFE Insectoids 2. It will prevent map loading or generation when they are loaded together. Removing either mod will allow the game to progress normally.

okok gotcha

If you want to craft them, you need the craftable patch linked above. It still works fine on 1.5.

these items can still be obtained through quest reward right? or do i have to get the craftable mod?

Any plans to add the gene stuff or the insectoid resources? How about the royal megaspider that isn't in VFEI2?

I'd call it a fix because a chainsaw is a tool that can be used as a weapon and probably not something that you'd see noble pawns using.

@Psyckosama - That's not a "fix", it's a personal preference. And it's done by changing or deleting the weapon tags, which can be done with a patch, through a mod like RIMMSqol, or by just editing the XML directly.

any way to fix the chainsaw weapon so empire nobile pawns don't show up using it?

Thank you! I played with the VFE - Insectoids just for the items.

Thanks gigachad

Does this have the chainsaw sword?

Craftable patch, still works: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2413196552

If I get some time I will try to incorporate that functionality in as a mod option.

I didn't change the defnames, so it very well might. I found it, I'll test it.

@Macca - There was, but it's not up to date and I'm not sure if it would work with this particular mod anyway.

does anyone know if there is an addon mod to make them craftable?

Now that VFE Insectoids 2 is up, this is the only place to get the classic gear.

@Play-G Doc: This mod doesn't contain insect armor, but the mod Biomes! Caverns has some insect and chitin-themed armors in it.

Does this mod contain insect armour? I tried searching for mods that add insect armour but they're either outdated or don't have it.

Thanks for letting me know!

FYI, VFE Pirates was just updated, removing the VFE Insectoids requirement from the plasma sword.

Oh hey! I didn’t realize you were the author of this one too. Let’s hope so, reason I asked is because the warcasket weaponry mod on my steam page has recipes to craft it, but Taranchuk and I realized the dependency issues while he was updating it to 1.5

I expect with Insectoids 2 it may be obtainable again, either way it is under the No Derivatives license of VFE Pirates, so unfortunately no, not without permission.

Any idea if you would be able to add the warcasket plasmasword to this mod? Or does it not fall under the VFE insectoids licence change since it's still apart of VFE Pirates even if its unobtainable?

Go medieval and Viking armor and weapon and building mendooodeee

Haha great job was just in the middle of fixing this on my own but thanks for saving me the work :D

@deadmanreaper13
VFE Medieval and Vikings are going to come back in VFE Medieval 2! It looks like it will be out in a few months, probably in the fall.

I guess the repeller will return in Insectoids 2

Exactly what I want

Shame any chance on adding it? it is quite good if you base in mountain

The repeller is not in this, no.

honestly even better I was downloading insectoids just for weapons and artifacts anyway now there will be at least no random items in my save though
@Zaljerem is there Sonic Infestation Repeler in this ?

Hey Zaljerem, thanks for bringing back those great tools and weapons!

Actually I was in contact with Oskar as well.
He offered to license the stuff and I would have to find a capable modder (unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to create mods myself).

You "beat" me to it - and I am grateful for that!

awesome, love them plasmasaws. any idea if your also going to bring items from VFE Medieval and Vikings to 1.5?

This mod contains the plasma weapons, and the artifacts, from VFE Insectoids. Oskar currently doesn't have plans for the weapons, and the artifacts won't be officially back in a VE mod until VE Archotech. Insectoids 2 is in progress but it's unlikely the weapons will be included.

But what weapons? I'm confused. Also, are they not going to be in Insectoids 2?

Perhaps weapons can be continued in the form of VWE? If the VE team wants it.

but yes. I do like those weapons.

Thank you for this! I’m a bit of a plasma freak so iit’s nice to still be able to use the weapons

@The Dutchman
Turleshroom is a known entitled religious fanatic that's been banned from many RimWorld Discords, best ignore their existence from now on

Sick, thank you

@TurtleShroom The entitlement from you is unreal. You really need to stop while you're behind. Smh

That's really annoying for people who don't like the bloated Vanilla Factions Expanded Armor Mod. Given that Oskar has explicitly discontinued the VFE Mod as it stands, there's no reason to do this. None.

Also, Cherry Picker SUCKS. It crashes my game every time I tried to use it.

Under the terms of the Share-Alike license, I actually could, but I follow more strict personal rules when it comes to mod continuations, spin-offs, what have you. Oskar, the creator of the content, let me know that some of it was already officially available again elsewhere. If he were to decide he wanted to do "Vanilla Expanded Plasma", this mod would dwindle down to a few artifacts, eventually to disappear completely when VE Archotech arrives.

Understand that "he's Oskar from VE and Ludeon" has nothing to do with it. I would do the same for any author, it's their content - I'm a caretaker. I don't really have any ego about it, if I have to pull something, it's fine. I just think good content should remain available for this great game that's given me literally thousands of hours of entertainment.

TLDR; "If the original author requests it, I will remove this update."

it's not like he has a choice to keep the armor lol.

Then use Cherrypicker once its updated. Its not complicated
