Rim-Gnoblins

Adds a new xenotype, the gnoblins - a race of short, green, and raucous humanoids. Gnoblins hail from the suffocating insides of some distant forgeworld, being perfectly adapted for quickly darting in and out of maintenance shafts and foundry exhausts. Perfectly designed for guerrilla warfare, zerg-rush tactics, or just general mischief.

Cook chemfuel down into 'shard' to fuel your gnoblins, or go the more heinous route and turn corpses into the cruder 'dreg'.

Face the green tide with either the shard-addicted gnoblin punks with their guns and rockets or the endless legions of the medieval gnoblin horde.

Cultivate your own horde with a breeding populace for fast-developing gnoblins to feed headfirst into the battlefield, or use your gnoblins to kite raiders and pick off the weak before they can even retaliate - regardless, something malicious is always brewing with the gnoblins.




Two new genes: "Extreme dwarfism", & "Rapid development", 'extreme dwarfism' reduces butcher yield and social impact, & 'rapid development' dramatically increases growth speed but shortens overall lifespan.

A new drug type, shard; which can either be obtained by boiling down chemfuel at a drugs-lab, or fermenting corpses in a dreg-coffin. Dreg is the cruder and more dangerous version of the more refined shard.

And two new medieval tier weapons: the 'tox spear' & 'tox pots', the tox spear applies toxic buildup if it breaks the skin, and tox pots act as medieval tox grenades.



Q - "Are they balanced?"
A - Yep, just watch out for the medieval gnob's, they can quickly overrun you if you're not ready for them.

Q - "Where can I get my filthy goblin hands on these new weapons??"
A - The "dreg-production" research, which unlocks the gnoblin weapons and dreg-coffins for creating the dreg the weapons (and gnoblins) need.

Q - "Are you open to suggestions?"
A - Absolutely!

Q - "Will there be any special features down the line?"
A - Maybe. Events like gnoblins coming to kidnap the colonies children, or an addon mod for gnoblin armor/weapons. General Dwarf Fortress related events.

Q - "Will you make more quasi-fantasy races?"
A - Yes. Elves, skaven, crow-people, etc. are all on the list.



Credit ~ Special credit to DetVisor who provided the sprites for the two weapons and an endless amount of enthusiasm and encouragement for the mod, thanks bro, you're a real G. And credit to the Vanilla Expanded Framework for their item processing and size factor code, which this mod requires. You're all splendid people.

Also try:
Det's Xenotypes - Stoneborn by DetVisor. After all, dwarves make nature enemies for goblins!
Rim-Elves they make an excellent pairing for those high-fantasy playthroughs.

You're 100% allowed to poke, dissect, and prod this mod's code to see how it works and to learn from it.

(Important! If the size of your gnoblins is wrong or weird, make sure any mods that have size scaling are loaded above Vanilla Expanded Framework, mods like Humanoid Alien Races, Character Editor, Varied Body Sizes, etc.)

If you find any bugs or inconsistencies please let me know and I will try to help fix it for you!
