Vanilla Races Expanded is a brand new series of mods to enhance Biotech features, add to the storytelling and the world-building of RimWorld, and to introduce new, cool types ofxenohumans, complete with their own unique genes, behaviors, mechanics and items.
This mod expands on a xenotype of Hussars with brand new genes that are aimed at making this xenotype feel more fleshed out, rather than just 'good combat pawns'. It also adds a brand new xenotype of Uhlans, rare and strong soldier...

Hello everyone and welcome to what I promise is the last development blog about Hussars xenotype expansion. We're more or less ready to release it, I will just run a few tests for it. If all goes well, we will release on or before the weekend.
Also, happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!

Hey folks and welcome to a brand new development blog, this time we are returning to Vanilla Vehicles Expanded!
1.4 Update didn't mess up the code too much, but it did change some things. I'm informed that we are now on track, and work is ongoing on coding the vehicles you're about to see. Once they're done, we will throw them into testing.
Then all we will have left is tier 3 vehicles, but that should be easy and fun!
I'm about to go paint bases for my Warhammer miniatures,...

Hello everyone and welcome to another devblog focused on the Hussars.
I read your feedback from yesterday, and applied many changes throughout the mod design. So, why don't we try it again?
We're actually working on adding a set of wings to this storyteller, so that it fits with how Hussars have been redesigned.

Hello beautiful people on this marvelous sunday!
Today, I would like to show you what we plan to add/change in the Hussars Xenotype mod we're in the process of developing.
This mod expands on the content of Hussars, the genetically engineered warrior xenotype of Biotech DLC. Hussars are engineered soldiers. They fight aggressively and with precision, heal fast, thrive in extreme tem...

Hello everyone and welcome to a quick summary of what we have planned for the future!
With the release of Biotech we have had many, many new ideas about the content we would like to create. From expanding existing xenotypes, to adding new ones, as well as expanding the pollution, the mechanitor, the sanguophage, the genetic engineering, it's essentially a huge mystery box of goodies that we want to open.
Of course, we are still developing non-DLC locked mods - Empire is coming alo...

Hey there everyone and welcome to a new development blog, this time focused on our first Biotech mod!
We have been fortunate enough to get access to Biotech a while early, so we've already started working on quite a few Biotech mods. Saurids is the first of many to come, and it's already pretty much complete. I will be uploading it to Steam Workshop in the coming days (just a few more fixes to do).

Hey guys! I won't take long, as I know Biotech launched like 10 minutes ago and none of you will probably read it, and I don't blame you!
My glorious team made sure that as many of our mods are available to play now, with the official launch of RimWorld 1.4 and the DLC. There may be quirks, there may be bugs, as always, report them on Steam in the comment section of specific mods.
Few mods didn't get updated yet, and I will go over the reasons why right now:

Hey folks. I'm pretty sure this is the last batch for the day. There is only a few mods left to be updated, and those are not updated yet and will take a while longer to update, so I wouldn't expect them when the DLC drops.
I'm going to take an early day off I think, as I think I pressed 'Update on Steam Workshop' one too many times.

Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded is a brand new mod for the release of RimWorld 1.4. With this update, we've decided that it's best we split Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power and the Helixien gas, as not only it gives us more control over it, but it's also the only logical choice, as the helixien gas is very complex and occupies a big portion of VFE-Power.
When you update your Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power to 1.4, you will no longer have Helixien gas in it. If you'd still like it: y...

Reporting in with a new round of updating done. Only a few mods left for us to update - notably Outposts, Winston Waves, Vanilla UI Expanded and Oskar Obnoxious. We are also yet to release Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded.
Please remember: These updates aren't yet live on Steam. We're waiting for the official 1.4 drop to push everything to Steam. Only Animal mods and the Framework have been updated on Steam already.

Vanilla Animals Expanded is a large mod that contains almost all previous Vanilla Animals Expanded modules, this time merged into one big mod. Fear not, however - last thing we want is to bloat your game: you can now disable individual animals in mod options! You can only enable the animals that appear in your biome if you want.
The reason we merged all the animal mods is because they are finished - the only new animals we have planned fit into standalone packs.
