Loving this mod but a couple points:

a) pawn body colours don't often match the skin tones for the grey faces and making a non-baseliner into a Profaned appears to bug out on things like ears, noses, etc. Noticed this the most on Pigskin pawns and anyone geared up with the Headhunter equipments. This appears related to the mod not properly loading assets (such as the Profaned Torso on the pawns)

b) while using the Armor Racks mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1875828205) , the Scourge Knight aura appears to still be functional on a pawn not currently wearing the Scourge Knight items.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

a) I do know about this and I'm looking for a way to fix it, the reason for it is that they have pure white skin so that the multicolour faces and bodies have the right colour. If they had darker skin for example, both the bone and flesh parts would be darker and it wouldn't look right.

Because of this, things that are tagged as being the same colour as the skin e.g the pig ears will be white.

b) That is definitely a new one, the aura comes from a hediff applied by the equipped armour which is a VE framework feature. I'm guessing this is because armor on the racks count as being equipped but I'm not 100% sure how that all works, you're probably better off asking the author of the armor racks mod.

Doing this mod's starting scenario. I noticed that the metabolic efficiency was terrible because the rotting flesh gene was being overridden by the skin color gene. I devtooled the skin color to remove it and the hunger went back to normal as well as the beauty -2.0 came back. Just thought I would post this to inform you/others.

Yeah the hunger rate thing came about with the 1.5 update. It was previously reported and should be fixed with the last update, do you have the latest version?

Yes, I used my Cursebearer to convert one of my prisoners and it looks like it is fixed! Another question I have is I have not seen any of the new monsters that drop this mod's unique materials to make the weapons and armor for this mod. I turned off all alpha animals spawns hoping it would make the skeleton and ghost spawns etc more likely to spawn...

Nice! good to know.

As for the the new creatures, they can show up on the map but relatively rarely and having a bunch of different animal mods will lower than chances even further as only so many can be on the map at the same time.

The creatures can also show up with raids from the faction and at the faction settlements.

If you complete the 3rd research project, you can create the creatures yourself. This requires a soul gem though which are currently a bit tricky to get. I am working on making the loop of getting souls gems and creating undead easier, that should be coming soon.

To fix the xenotype starting scenario error if you don't have Biotech:

Go to steam/steamapps/workshop/content/294100/3202008037/1.5/Defs

Open the "Scenarios_Profaned" file, notepad works just fine.

Find and delete the following section

<li Class="ScenPart_ConfigPage_ConfigureStartingPawns_Xenotypes">
<def>ConfigurePawnsXenotypes</def>
<pawnChoiceCount>6</pawnChoiceCount>
<customSummary>Three profaned cursebearers seeking to make amends or establish their own dominion.</customSummary>
<overrideKinds>
<li>
<xenotype>BotchJob_ProfanedCursebearerXenotype</xenotype>
<pawnKind>BotchJob_ProfanedCursebearer</pawnKind>
</li>
</overrideKinds>
<xenotypeCounts>
<li>
<xenotype>BotchJob_ProfanedCursebearerXenotype</xenotype>
<count>3</count>
<description>Profaned Cursebearer</description>
<allowedDevelopmentalStages>Adult</allowedDevelopmentalStages>
</li>
</xenotypeCounts>
</li>


replace it with


<li Class="ScenPart_ConfigPage_ConfigureStartingPawns">
<def>ConfigPage_ConfigureStartingPawns</def>
<pawnCount>3</pawnCount>
<pawnChoiceCount>6</pawnChoiceCount>
</li>


Save the file and it should be good to go.

Really cool mod! Only issue I'm having so far is the technologies for it in the tech tree are down past the bottom of the screen and I can only select them by using the search bar. Has anyone else had this issue or do I just need to start deactivating mods until there's enough room for them?

@Botch_Job, I just tested the research screen on all scale sizes on ultra wide. It seems 1.75x is the only size that cannot display all three Profaned research. Unfortunately Rimworld seems to introduce a redesigned UI configuration for each scale size. And I doubt that's getting reworked any time soon.

I found Dubs Mint Menus can help override the research UI in the mod options if your game is affected by this.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate you putting in the effort to test things out. I think the issue is mainly with smaller monitors and lower resolutions.

I'd have preferred to avoid having a whole new tab for just 3 research projects but it might be the best solution for now.

not troubleshooting really, just wanted to lyk that the texture Female_Average_RottingFlesh2_south seems to be lower res than the others and missing a gradient

Trying to figure out why i can't make a grasping dead greatsword, and when in the alchemy table, the recipe for the grasping dead greatsword is listing the required scourge greatsword as "ingredients" with no description. when i hover over the bill, the icon for the greatsword shows - but when looking in the list of required materials, it lists as "1x Ingredients, 1x colossus heart, 5x vial of corrupted blood"

Got this error, thought it might be relevant

Using medieval overhaul, if thats any help

↑ forgot to mention that i can make the bloodflame staff and spectral greatbow just fine.

Just checked and it seems to be working fine for me. Do you have the regular greatsword, heart and blood in an accessible stockpile zone?

I do! Just wanted to see if i could get a read on the error message as im pretty code illiterate. if its not something that immediately stands out it might just be conflicts ill have to work out. Thanks anyways!
