i don't mind at all

hey, author. i made a personal patch for the issues i complained earlier. i even did a little C++ to copy Thrumbo's spawn event for the Mantises. if you want, i can help you implement this functionality into your mod, if you dont mind
Namenlos  [author] Apr 24 @ 3:13am 
Fix things here and there, give mantises combat rating high enough(i think) to give generator second thoughts to spawn them on map, now(if not working earlier) spiderwool apparel can be cremated
Alma_S Mar 28 @ 2:08am 
the mantises are so unbalanced... if theyre the size of thrumbos but are predatory, wouldnt it be more sensible to make them spawn like thrumbo? its always worrying if theyre spawned on starting map... their spawn should be an event like thrumbo instead. also, spiderwool clothes wont be recognized in the cremator if you have the bill to destroy clothes. i had different tainted clothes of different materials, but only spiderwool get left behind. anyway, thanks for adding more bugs in the game!

Should make a Mantis Claw like a Thrumbo Horn that can maybe be turned into cool weapon? Insect weapons and armors yes

Would it be possible to give the spiders a toxic bite if you have Biotech installed?
Solarius Scorch Apr 13, 2024 @ 9:39am 
Thank you thank you thank you! :)
Namenlos  [author] Apr 13, 2024 @ 8:59am 
said - done!
Namenlos  [author] Apr 13, 2024 @ 7:33am 
Maybe today i check mod, if no misbehavior - then i simply add version number
Namenlos  [author] Apr 13, 2024 @ 7:28am 
Is there any problems with playing it on 1.5? If so - please tell
Solarius Scorch Apr 12, 2024 @ 3:03pm 
If you ever wonder if the world really needs 1.5, then the answer is yes, we really need 1.5! :)
Namenlos  [author] Oct 10, 2023 @ 4:35pm 
Thank you kindly, i have been reported of the weird texture behaivor, but can't pinpoint it.
hopefuly now will work
Redstark Magnusson Oct 10, 2023 @ 11:49am 
Hey! Dunno if you're still working on the mod, i've been using it on 1.2, and noticed the roaches were missing a south texture. I've opened your mod and noticed there is a space at the end of the file-name for the south texture! Really, it's that shrimple.

Anyhow, thanks for the mod, nice to see insects that don't look like little limb-less nightmares!
Iopy Aug 8, 2023 @ 2:32am 
Thats a neat little update, thanks @Namenlos! Will suit nicely for my Vampire colony!
Namenlos  [author] Aug 7, 2023 @ 1:43pm 
also tweak Spiders so they nuzzle more often
Namenlos  [author] Aug 7, 2023 @ 1:39pm 
Mosquito update. Mosquitos now will lay 20-40 eggs every 20 days and hatch after 1 day. They still lives 0.5 years. Has 90% wildness so needed lv9+ handler to tame. Now additionaly can consume Animal Products. For Biotech they are milkable every 10 days for 1 hemogen pack.
Namenlos  [author] Aug 2, 2023 @ 11:02am 
it's possible, but will cause balance issue. Because now Mosquitos are not tamable, they breed almost as much as others Insects. When i decide balance is not harmed too much then i will do it.
IcyCheeseCake Aug 1, 2023 @ 11:16pm 
Is it possible to make Hemogen Pack farm out of Mosquito? Like be able to milk the Hemogen out of it.
Iopy Dec 19, 2022 @ 12:12am 
Awesome work @Namenlos!
Namenlos  [author] Dec 18, 2022 @ 11:57am 
all Insects now do Hypothermic Slowdown, if forced to be in cold for some time
Namenlos  [author] Dec 18, 2022 @ 11:54am 
I am, no more normal meat from insects, as well as venerated Spiders
Matchy430 Dec 18, 2022 @ 10:12am 
Did you fix the animals instead of insects problem?
Iopy Dec 12, 2022 @ 9:59pm 
Oh nice, could have sworn that I only saw compatibility for 1.3, or did you just update that tag? Either way i'm happy with that! Hopefully you're able to sort out the hypothermic slowdown issue :)
Namenlos  [author] Dec 12, 2022 @ 9:29pm 
Reason i made this:
Cockroaches - leaves self-named meat(instead of pork/beef)
Spiders - because i wanted them as "Venerated animals"
Namenlos  [author] Dec 12, 2022 @ 9:27pm 
Problem with cocroaches, spiders and others, not getting "hypothermic slowdown" - because in-game they are not "insects", but a "animal"
Namenlos  [author] Dec 12, 2022 @ 9:24pm 
It is compatible for 1.4
Iopy Dec 12, 2022 @ 8:38pm 
Absolutely love this mod, would love for it to be 1.4 compatible.
Namenlos  [author] Oct 12, 2022 @ 10:16am 
on 1.4 i will look again for solution
Namenlos  [author] Oct 12, 2022 @ 10:15am 
i tried to pinpoint this problem, but to no avail
mayonnaise Oct 11, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
my cockroaches seem to be getting hypothermia; since they're bugs, shouldn't they be getting the hypothermic slowdown that megaspiders and such get?
Namenlos  [author] Aug 26, 2022 @ 2:18am 
i'm supporting
CrackaJack Aug 25, 2022 @ 4:28pm 
not appreciating?
Namenlos  [author] Aug 25, 2022 @ 2:02pm 
good for you
CrackaJack Aug 25, 2022 @ 10:25am 
yo, i fixed the not working "nasty insects" mod by removing _nasty from all namedefs in a local copy.
Namenlos  [author] Jul 23, 2022 @ 9:12am 
Spiders use same fleshtype as megascarab
DeadlyAreo Jul 22, 2022 @ 10:07pm 
I was looking for the fleshtype for the spiders though couldn't find it in the spider refs, could you please tell me where it would be within the files?
GhostFrog95 Jun 8, 2022 @ 3:02am 
are the mantis untamable? when i click on wild one's there is no tame button to attempt to tame one
Namenlos  [author] Mar 25, 2022 @ 11:08am 
Hot patch inbound! thanks to qux
qux Mar 24, 2022 @ 11:13am 
Hi ! Could you add a patche for modded biomes please ?
I can propose you this file if you want to add it : https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Qqko-zEujG1b35eK7x5fJczG02PylhJ/view?usp=sharing
Iopy Feb 26, 2022 @ 2:20am 
Appreciate the update!
Namenlos  [author] Feb 26, 2022 @ 12:20am 
Patch for Ideology: Woodlouse and Cockroach will drop Insect Meat (only if you have Ideology)
Iopy Feb 24, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
Thank you! Appreciate your hard work!
Namenlos  [author] Feb 24, 2022 @ 6:05am 
i'l make a patch for Meat/Ideology, in weekend
Iopy Feb 24, 2022 @ 6:02am 
Thats fair enough, I think since Ideology there are a lot of animals that are easily farmable for regular meat, but theres not many easy farmable insects for insect meat, the Arthuplureo from Megafauna or Alpha Animals (cant remember which) has been the best i've found thus far, but it'd be good if there was an easily breedable alternative that didn't provide so much meat but had a quick breeding time and growth time. Not sure if you'd want to rewrite the code for the meat for the existing animals or make a new animal for that purpose, but just a thought. Still going to use the mod regardless as its awesome! Just waiting on that taming inspiration before tackling trying to tame a mantis..
Namenlos  [author] Feb 24, 2022 @ 5:58am 
Thanks for your support
Namenlos  [author] Feb 24, 2022 @ 5:57am 
Centipedes - would be a disaster to write and debug a body, so many legs...
Namenlos  [author] Feb 24, 2022 @ 5:56am 
Meat was intentionaly maded non-insect, this was made pre-Ideology as fast replicating meat, so i guess it is need to rework a little to meet a nowadays expectations.
No, no new insects planned, because this need time to plan and write XML, also to make a decent texture.
Iopy Feb 24, 2022 @ 1:52am 
On a side note, I love the creatures and the attention to detail that you've put into the mod! Will you be adding any additional insects in the future? Such as Centipedes or Millipedes?
Iopy Feb 24, 2022 @ 1:51am 
Hey Namenlos, I'm surprised the Woodlouse and Cockroaches don't drop insect meat given they're insects like the Spider and Mantis, just curious if this is an oversight or intentional?
sex is scary Jan 28, 2022 @ 7:59am 
can we have a visual of said insect please?
thx
