I hope we get to see more at some point. I'm trying to teach myself modding stuff, but I don't know nearly enough to help maintain this.

When will version 1.5 be updated... Cthulhu is badly needed

1.5plzzzzzzzzzzz

to my knowledge
jec hasnt shown back up in the discords

I hope this mod gets updated eventually.

1.5, please???

Cosmic Horrors got an update by a chad, hopefully there's another chad willing to update this one too.

Depressing :/

the sources are public
agian no one wants to maintain them

They are a wonderful bit of art that really does something for the game, This and Rim of Madness. These things need to be released to a place where they can all be reliably curated.

there exists multiple people who do that
jecs mods are not considered essential and are considered legacy projects

I think we need a community space where essential mods can be curated after the original authors go AWOL.

He does that alot then comes back to update mods
However calling mods abandoned usually angers modders when they return to update stuff

Oh, he's not "absent", he's just moved on from Rimworld. Dude has been playing plenty of games, but hasn't touched RW since before 1.5 left beta. Check his activity on his profile.

Jec is mostly absent so not likely for a while sadly

it would be amazing if this was updated to 1.5

good times

Ditto I love this modpack

Will you be updating this for 1.5?

Bug: I cannot capture Elder Things or build Elder Thing beds. I can build Elder Thing chairs, but no beds. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it'd be nice if I was actually able to imprison them.

@Alu he goes by Ryoma now 🙆🏾‍♂️😭

The issues you guys keep blaming on har and biotech aren't har issues
They are issues with incredibly unmaintained races
Jec hasn't really maintained any of his mods since 1.2
As he shows up for a month after each major rw version then poofs again.
Har accounts for biotech
Elder things doesn't use any of those newer systemsx.

can't heal these guys :(

Biotech and HAR seem to work just fine. It seems like when certain mods that introduce factions and rely on HAR, they mess up how biotech spawns faction settings.

For me it's specifically this mod, not the cults or horrors. It is unfortunate, but I never used an elder thing anyway. They are genuinely too out of the way compared to everything else. I do enjoy the cult mo when I'm not using ideology and the horrors are nice later on in the game.

yeah HAR doesnt work with biotech

Hey This Mod dosent load with BioTech

This works fine in 1.3. In that version they spawn in fine and only bugs occur when adding more factions which can bug their functionality/frequency, but that is expected. But with dlc and current version, it prevents the world from being able to spawn any factions starting a new game, making it totally unplayable now. Spent hours troubleshooting to figure out it was this mod.

I am having the same issue Chemplay is having. It seems the original freebie human colonist is now classified as a slave. when playing solely the vanilla game there are no slave beds. When the slave colonist falls into a catatonic state they cannot be rescued and will starve.

is this mod not working for anyone else?

could a version of this be made that uses genotypes/ xenotypes instead of a baseliner and HAR?

Just a thought!

I can't get any of the elder thing parts to actually apply to pawns when I try to use them in the xenotype editor, even if I set a pawn's backstories to be one of the elder thing ones.
Is this intended or a bug?

slaves cant have beds help

Will these guys show up as an NPC race?

@jecrell since i installed this mod the genes and gen menu dissapeared and just becomes glitchy...

im having an issue with this mod and a rimworld of magic. not sure which side the issue is on, but the elder things arent getting a magic tab.

Thank you for updating it to 1.4! The frozen region faction limit, the genes! I love it, fantastic work! Simply beautiful.

um, if you have time, could you add those giant albino penguins in the future?

Call of Cthulhu - Elder Things Update
v1.23.0.2 (11-14-2022)
====================

Improves compatibility with Fluffys Mod Manager

@Narada: Anytime!

Factions are working normally now, if I run into any problems while playing the new save I will report, thanks again!

thank you very much! I will try it out asap

@Narada: I figured out the issue. It was due to Biotech requirements that were introduced in my code while I was updating to RimWorld 1.4. I've fixed it so that Elder Things should function without the DLC, as is normally expected. Resubscribe to force steam to update the mod, and do reach out to me if you still have issues.

Call of Cthulhu - Elder Things Update
v1.23.0.1 (11-10-2022)

Here I got you a log. I remove all the mods except for this one and the required for it. Same thing, it wipes all my factions and only creates one outpost on the whole planet.

https://gist.github.com/a272ffefe86e284a99702b519ca9e5b9

Hello, I was wondering if it is intentional that when I install this mod no other factions appear on my map when I want to start a new save? The map is literally empty aside from 1 outpost from this mod, and 1 outpost from Sparkling Worlds. When I go one step back and X out this Elder Things faction and generate the seed again, all other factions and outposts are back. Same when I remove this mod, factions are back to normal (modded and vanilla ones).

A small issue - baby Elder Things can't seem to be put in cribs, not sure why.
