[DEVBLOG#276] More bugs, eh?
Added 2024-09-23 23:18:39 +0000 UTCHey folks!
As you know, we've been hard at work on a new update for Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2. Unofficially labelled as Insectoids 2.1, this update is out farewell for time being to the Insectoids theme, as we focus on Medieval.
I think Insectoids 2 came out great, and this final bunch of content should round it up nicely. Of course, I have some ideas for the future expansions of that mod, but for now that will be all you get when it comes to the pesky bugs.
The update is ready now and will be deploying after a bit of internal testing. As such, I have created new infographics that I'd like to show off.
At the same time I'm also making the infographics for Vanilla Anomaly Expanded - Insanity, so you have that to look forward to too in the coming days!
Lets see what's coming in Insectoids 2.1!














Let me know what you think down in the comment section!

It doesn’t spawn swarmlings when under player control.

2024-10-08 18:48:19 +0000 UTCHey love the mod so far, but I just "birthed" an empress and I can't seem to find the gizmo to spawn swarmlings (the mobile hive works tho) thanks and amazing job

2024-10-08 18:19:00 +0000 UTCI see, please consider utilizing that green for other insectoids in the future as surely they'd have more builder caste! Thanks for your awesome work.

2024-09-25 01:01:50 +0000 UTCThe role of Patriarchs is nest construction, which is done using the insect jelly and not the royal jelly. Plus, it differentiates it from the empress more (they still have similar shapes as technically they’re the same subspecies)

2024-09-24 13:30:43 +0000 UTCWhy the green color choice for his sack on the back? None of the other insects have that green. As a royal insect keeping the orange makes more sense to me.

2024-09-24 06:24:29 +0000 UTCLove the final touches to finish off hive architecture with the doors and jelly floors. I couldn’t dare kill my beloved insects with the new storyteller, but may be a fun run sometime in the future.

2024-09-24 05:18:04 +0000 UTCHmmmm. The jelly floors seem to be the solution to not have the hives turn into a warren of filth. Interesting option, if it still makes having them walk around the base an issue. A bit tempting to engage with it again. I sure know one does not lack for jelly with the bugs

2024-09-24 03:06:28 +0000 UTCFinally! With the Jelly Doors being added my insectoid caves can look natural and cool AND safely store insect jelly! No more chitin flaps between jelly walls!

2024-09-24 02:11:17 +0000 UTCNope, Patriarch represents the royal side-geneline of the Sorne geneline and he and his royal versions of insectoids aren’t obtainable by the player. He simply drops a sorne (empress) pherocore.
Oskar Potocki
2024-09-24 02:10:10 +0000 UTCThis is all amazing!!! since the patriarch also drop sorne pherocore will we be able to create one of our own?

2024-09-24 00:10:59 +0000 UTCI got to say I am really glad that the patriarchs head is the same greatness it always was. I am very excited to try this update once it launches

2024-09-24 00:01:39 +0000 UTCAmazing stuff, the Patriarch does look much better after being colored in. The jelly spreader 🤤 reminds me very much of a certain RTS I used to play. Great work.
