Could the ability to change the styles of individual rituals be added?

Can i suggest that with the new update that the hedonist orgy ritual has a chance of getting a colonist pregnant?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post at, but it's not exactly a bug. Just an issue I came across. I am playing a Fire Worship ideology, they have an indifferent attitude toward death, prisoners execution etc, and when I tried to start a wicker man ritual during winter, the prisoner refused to be taken to the temple because of the temperature being below 0 C... I finally started it after building an extra campfire and waiting for it to get above zero, but should prisoners have a choice when it comes to being sacrificed?

Sorry, I'm not touching that part of the game with a 10 ft pole hehehe

Vegetarian pawns (meat eating dissaproved precept) are getting mood debuff for "eating meat" when eating meals made with meat replacements - mushrooms or lentils (vegetable garden). The meat replacements do have their own category within the meats category called "garden meats" would it be possible to patch them?

It would be nice if the Insect Herder of the Insect Supremacy would have more clothing options than just Headwrap. Like say Visage masks and other stuff. Robes and Hoods would be nice too.

It also would be nice if we could get an entry in the Mod Options allowing us some minor customization of allowed tasks of some of the specialists you added. Like for example, it would be nice if the Insect Herder could still do research, so its not as punishing for the start, given that its a role that will be demanded pretty early on.

Not so much a meme than a structure (if that is even up for suggestion). I'd love to see a norse/viking themed structure, or even just a medieval one. I feel like there is already plenty of memes through this and Alpha memes to go with that, just missing a structure.

Fleshcrafting feels like it should have some cooler things than just replacing same organs. Judging from descriptions, it should allow to install additional hands, spines, hears and other organs, and may be some new ones. And there should also be possibility of increased efficiency of fleshcrafted parts.

the fleshcrafting meme prevents cybernetics which are very useful late game and just using dead bodyparts isn't all that fleshcrafty, how about some unique craftables like three fleshcrafted eyes in one socket or some mandibles for a jaw made from hands or even treated human leather acting as skin on the torso to increase the armor, ofcourse internal parts should be represented as well such as implanting a secondary heart in the place of a lung or melding a stomach into a liver to decerease food consumption but also blood filtration

How about a Dracula/Vampire Meme with fully built in style for it?

Having Gothic/Castlevania like buildings and decorations as well as Armors and Rituals would be very nice to have.

Armor Variants for the high tech armors; like a Vampire Knight inspired marine, Cataphract and trooper armor would be very nice.

Special Rituals would include a Bloodfeast; a big event akin to a Cannibal Feast but instead one poor guy gets ritualistically drained by all sanguophages attending, satiating their need for blood and maybe restoring psyfocus?

I am not quite sure if Sanguophages Expanded will add into this, but something along these lines would be very cool indeed.

Not a new meme sugestion, but more of a fix, imho: the moralist meme leader has moralist abilities, such as its own 'convert (leader)', but it lacks the conversion power bonus proper moralists gain form their role. Do you think it would be ok to give said leader such bonus from the meme itself?

Is it possible to update the git to 1.4? Those of us not on Steam can't use it anymore :(

There is a new Vanilla Expanded organization GitHub with all the updated public code: https://github.com/Vanilla-Expanded

Hello! Hope this finds ya well and I admit I wasn’t sure if this should go here or on the Vanilla Architect Expanded mod page. I was wondering if it was possible to add a wall in the techist style? Kinda like what was done for the kemetic and steampunk styles. Would imagine it could have a circuit lines going through the wall? Had the thought while using the hex floor tiles.

I really like the Eldritch structure, style and corruption mechanic but I would like to be able to set the rate of corruption decay. Could I suggest a slider for it in the mod options? thanks :)
