[Teaser] Some new hives coming in Insectoids 2!
Added 2024-04-26 18:44:56 +0000 UTCJust a quick teaser because I've been writing dozens of design pages for Insectoids 2. These are the new hives coming - some are geneline-specific, and the shape of the hive represents what the geneline coming from it is like.
Yes, they will be buildable by the player!

It’s coming! Just let us get our bearings and at least get insectoids 2 out since a lot of people are waiting for it

2024-04-28 20:15:25 +0000 UTCThey don't have their own niche, that's the thing. They are uninspired and don't have any unique mechanic. If I was able to find some mechanic for them, that'd be great, but right now half of them are useless and the other half is OP.
Oskar Potocki
2024-04-28 10:24:57 +0000 UTCOh no! That‘s really a shame! As detailed in one of my previous posts, I liked them quite a bit! And as you liked the related post, I was hoping … Can‘t they be part of the upcoming „Megacorps“ mod? The code does exist, after all and being a high-tech application, it seems fitting as well.

2024-04-28 09:56:49 +0000 UTCHoping Insectoids wind up even half as fleshed out as Mechanoids did!

2024-04-28 02:46:37 +0000 UTCThat would be great!

2024-04-27 22:50:55 +0000 UTCHmmm I never thought dirtmoles need expanding much, but maybe they do, right about when we release mining expanded?
Oskar Potocki
2024-04-27 21:46:53 +0000 UTCThe Dirtmoles could possess genetic predispositions for insect meat and mushrooms. That being said, I won't bring up the topic further. It's clear that this post isn't meant for discussing other xenotypes, but I'm unsure where I can submit suggestions. That being said, thank you very much for your work!
Carles Ribas Costa
2024-04-27 20:01:26 +0000 UTCNeither. Plasma weapons will be scrapped.
Oskar Potocki
2024-04-27 18:57:15 +0000 UTCWill plasma weapons return or separate module?

2024-04-27 10:19:59 +0000 UTCOskar please save the insects, for Tynan has forsaken them
Kuru Chilion
2024-04-27 09:43:15 +0000 UTCis there any way to add jumping insectoid? Like, he will jump towards a pawn to end him. Like 5-8 tiles jump.

2024-04-27 08:22:32 +0000 UTCNever have I been more unironically hyped for lumpy bug hives
Con
2024-04-27 06:54:31 +0000 UTCI've been wishing for this stuff for YEARS, so happy it's finally happening

2024-04-27 06:16:28 +0000 UTCThe "Shrieker Nest" looking one gave me a micro panic attack
Thomas Pyke
2024-04-27 06:14:52 +0000 UTCThis has been my favorite Vanilla Factions Expanded mod for a long time. The insectoids felt like a genuine threat reminiscent of Starship Troopers. I'm really excited to see all the new content! By the way, considering we have fungi, insectoids, and the upcoming Vanilla Mining Expanded, is there a chance we might see Vanilla Races Expanded - Dirtmole in the future? It's my favorite vanilla xenotype, but compared to the other expanded races, they now seem somewhat simplistic. They are the primary tunneling race, and the vanilla xenotype doesn't fully capture that they were not just miners but also the primary world-builders.

2024-04-27 05:47:49 +0000 UTCCan't wait for this, medieval VFE and the CE update to start my next run after I completed anomaly the other day.
Will
2024-04-27 00:44:31 +0000 UTCThe insect parts are no longer a part of this mod, considering they exist as genes in VRE-Insector! :)
Oskar Potocki
2024-04-26 23:07:14 +0000 UTCBro same here, also can't wait to see what they do with the new medieval
Goblin Mode
2024-04-26 22:03:16 +0000 UTCAre they buildable or growable? would be interesting if you planted a specific cocoon that takes time and requires darkness to spawn these nests
Gustavo Righetti
2024-04-26 21:04:55 +0000 UTCBoom Bugs
Rhys Sydenham
2024-04-26 20:08:39 +0000 UTCAnd the tallish one looks like a Termite nest, so Siege Insectoids are coming too D:
Rhys Sydenham
2024-04-26 20:08:19 +0000 UTCMost of it, I’d imagine, would come from the VRE mod. I asked about Biotech integration because the original Insectoids mod had that submod which added all of the insect parts as genes.
NewOldGround
2024-04-26 19:58:53 +0000 UTCI thought that human built hives would be machines copy’s of the organic ones. Maybe a hybrid of the two.
ParaNautic
2024-04-26 19:53:05 +0000 UTCI’m aware, and excited to see how Insectoids 2 and VRE Insector interact
NewOldGround
2024-04-26 19:48:22 +0000 UTCLike what? What sort of Biotech integration would you expect?
Oskar Potocki
2024-04-26 19:45:59 +0000 UTCThere's Vanilla Races Expanded - Insector
Mocho
2024-04-26 19:44:52 +0000 UTCSuperearth command says flying bugs are traitor propaganda. But tha first hive tho!

2024-04-26 19:32:46 +0000 UTCinterested on this too

2024-04-26 19:23:13 +0000 UTCThat's what I was just thinking lol

2024-04-26 19:02:40 +0000 UTCEverybody is going crazy over anomaly but I‘m just excited for Insectoids Expanded and Insector Race

2024-04-26 18:58:09 +0000 UTCI've been missing my royal bugs. Can't wait to see them again
Screw Qidian
2024-04-26 18:53:18 +0000 UTCFour new genelines? Seems like this is gonna be much larger than the original.
Spoder
2024-04-26 18:53:05 +0000 UTCHuh… that’s a weirdly shaped hive, the entrance/exit raised off the ground? Almost like… it might lead to some flying buggers…
OneSandyBoi
2024-04-26 18:49:43 +0000 UTCBoom hive? Oh no
The Dragonborn
2024-04-26 18:49:05 +0000 UTCLooking good!
lloki
2024-04-26 18:47:41 +0000 UTCBoom Hive yay!
Myphicbowser
2024-04-26 18:47:25 +0000 UTCOooh. So it will be a blend of driads and mechanitor's mechs?
Dimitry Minchenkov
2024-04-26 18:46:44 +0000 UTCWill there be biotech integration?
NewOldGround
2024-04-26 18:46:43 +0000 UTCOh no, Boomapedes
