RimDark 40k - Mankinds Finest

TL;DR
This mod adds new xenotypes, including Thunder Warriors, Custodes, Firstborn Space Marines, Primaris, Primarchs, Living Saints from the Warhammer 40K universe. New production pipeline to create them. New systems: Armor Decoration and Ranking Tree. New structures and items.

• Melee Animation support included, all melee weapons pre-configured.
  
• If Dubs Rimatomics or Crash Landing mods are installed, the Melachrome provides resistance to radiation from those mods.
  
• RimHUD displays how much time is left before gene-seeds can be harvested. You need to select the “RimDark 40K - Mankind’s Finest” preset in the Content tab of the RimHUD settings for it to be active.

Q: Halp something something no work
A: Please join the Discord[discord.gg]and tell me the issue there in the correct channel, REMEMBER to post an error log if one shows. Discord messages gets answered quicker, is easier for me to manage and the solution might already be there.

Q: "WHY IS AGRON HAPPY????; WHY IS EVERYTHING PRE HERESY REEE????"
A: Yes. The mod is built around the idea of “what if nothing ever went wrong” - like, what if the Horus Heresy never happened? But if you want Horus to be evil and Angron to be raging, don't worry, we’ll add these features in upcoming Chaos-related module.

Q: I'm using this mod with Facial Animations, and my Space Marines have angry eyebrows floating on top of their helmets.
A: While it’s pretty hilarious, this can be easily fixed. Just go into the Facial Animations mod settings and uncheck “Draw the eyebrows above the hat.”

Q: How do I turn on the option to have male Living Saints and female Primarchs?
A: While the latter is pure heresy, you can enable it by going to the VE Framework options and select the Toggleable Patches tab - you'll find it there, along with a bunch of other options.

Q: Will there be Custodes gear also?
A: Yes, probably.

Q: Will you rework the other mods too?
A: Probably, but this stuff takes time.

Q: Can this mod be used with your other Warhammer 40k mods?
A: Some of them may work, reports say that Cybernetics, Abhuman and Psykers work. Core, Genes, Factions and Ideology will not.

Q: Living Saints? Eeew, girls!
A: You can set the Living Saint chance to 0% (effectively disabling them for your run) in the mod settings. You can also allow male pawns to become Living Saints in the same settings.

Q: Is this compatible with Grimworld?
A: Supposedly.

Q: CE?
A: Not currently. If you want one, poke them about it.

Q: Can I add this to an existing save file?
A: It's better not to. Technically, it might work (the fewer mods you already have in your save, the higher the chances), but we do not guarantee stability or proper functionality.
