[Release] Vanilla Psycasts Expanded
Added 2022-07-30 18:01:12 +0000 UTCVanilla Psycasts Expanded is potentially our Magnum Opus, a greatest, most exquisite, complex and visually stunning mod up to date. As always, it started with us simply not being satisfied with how Psycasts ended up being in Royalty DLC. This resulted in us wanting to expand on the concept, and expand we did.
Inspired by games such as World of Warcraft, Stellaris, Path of Exile and many more, we have designed a brand new system that makes Psycasters truly worth-while, whilst also keeping everything anchored in the grim universe of RimWorld. This mod does not add fantasy character classes, tossing fireballs left and right, conjuring holy magic to repel demons etc. It simply expands on the mysterious psychic powers granted by the link to an archotech.
Complex level-up system will reward you for meditating, allowing you to distribute ability points in many different paths, unlocking hundreds of new, unique abilities, each kept in line with vanilla psycasts when it comes to balancing and visuals. Ultimately, it’s up to you if you want to become a fire-slinging conflagrator, an animal ruling wildspeaker, or a mix of both. As it always is with RPG games, you can also spend level-up points on upgrading your overall psycaster stats.
On rare occasions, enemies can send their finest psycasters against you. They will be able to use all their unlocked abilities to defeat you, so you should make sure to prioritize them. Don’t worry - Psycaster raids are rare, and the game prompts you with fair warnings that an enemy raid is utilising a psycaster.

2022-09-30 13:42:24 +0000 UTCAny news as of now when the remaining paths (i.e. Animat) will be added to the mod?

2022-09-30 12:52:16 +0000 UTCBut… there is no sensitivity ceiling in vanilla, is there? Either way: the AI will never spawn with extremely high sensitivity. They rarely put points into stats, if ever. Only the player has an option to keep levelling up Psychic Sensitivity. Emphasis on the option: you can just simply… not level up sensitivity. Am I missing something?

2022-09-12 15:47:08 +0000 UTCBecame a patron just so I could post an issue in VPE without sounding ungrateful for a "free mod": Vanilla Psycasts Expanded needs opt out config mechanics. I can opt out of specific psycasts and skilltrees using XML, but there's no way to opt out of the infinite psystats or infinite psychic sensitivity mechanics without editing or modifying the assembly (which is both sketchy and difficult). I very much like *most* of the VPE content, but I like my mods modular. I like having new mechanoids without total war, I like new weapons without tools, I like my new psycasts without eliminating the sensitivity ceiling that brings a semblance of balance to Vanilla Rimworld.

2022-09-12 15:27:07 +0000 UTCVanilla Psycasts Expanded allows you to unlock any mediation focus. Each has a custom icon. SoS2 adds their own, but it has no icon.

2022-08-01 20:57:36 +0000 UTCHi Oskar- AMAZING Job as always! When you have soft incompatibility with Save Our Ship 2 you say "no icon on the new meditation focus" Can you please let me know what this means?
2022-08-01 20:49:17 +0000 UTCDang, never noticed it before.
2022-08-01 10:56:06 +0000 UTCYeah this is how skip always worked!
Oskar Potocki
2022-08-01 07:34:32 +0000 UTCI noticed when using skip to teleport pawns it stuns them for a short while, including self casts. Is this normal? Don't remember seeing any details about it unless I missed them.
2022-08-01 05:34:00 +0000 UTCGodbless
2022-07-31 12:47:21 +0000 UTCThis is criminally awesome. I was expecting a few more psycasts, maybe a few items, and I would have been happy with that, but I am very surprised. Absolutely wonderful job, team.
2022-07-31 11:52:27 +0000 UTCDid you draft a pawn and right clicked the skipdoor with them? If yes and nothing still happens, please submit a bug report in the steam discussion under the mod, with proper logs attached as described there.

2022-07-31 10:39:37 +0000 UTCHow do I use skip doors? There's no option when I right-click on them.
2022-07-31 08:13:59 +0000 UTCAh, finally. I will greatly enjoy exploring this one

2022-07-31 01:18:50 +0000 UTCYou've just made my whole day Oskar, and team. I've been so looking forward to this mod, checking here, reddit, and your workshop multiple times a day. This is going to be so good. Thanks man.

2022-07-31 00:33:46 +0000 UTCThanks for the headsup!
2022-07-31 00:24:05 +0000 UTCMake sure to do it on a local copy, otherwise the moment we update the mod, it will overwrite it!
Oskar Potocki
2022-07-31 00:22:06 +0000 UTCOk I will have a look. Thanks for making the mod as always!
2022-07-31 00:11:09 +0000 UTCYeah it’s all in xml, shouldn’t be hard
