[Release] Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2

After a long wait we are proud to present a fruit of our hard work. Vanilla Factions Expanded - Insectoids 2 is the sequel one of our first Vanilla Factions Expanded modules.

While building on the original, our intent was to streamline the content and provide more insectoid-themes mechanics and elements while removing unnecessary bloat that didn't entirely make sense for the mod.

We have learned over the years, and I hope the sequel shows that.

Additionally, this mod also features integration for Vanilla Races Expanded - Insector, bringing many new genes to the table if you choose to consume your pherocores!

Act... Activate? Wait, what? No, I didn't - and I even looked at the item twice if there was an option to do so. (Like if I wanted to open a crate or so). And I even went back to the workshop page to take a look. So thanks for the hint! It was definitely needed, because only then did I try to use *a pawn* to interact with it! Hmpf! Not that this was a completely unknown way of interacting...

Did you activate it? It takes a few seconds after activating it.

I have a question: How long does it usually take for a thumper to attract the associated hive? I installed mine quite a while ago (don't ask me how long exactly; it must have been days), but so far no Teramantis hive has paid me a visit.

Would love alpha animals black hive support would be really cool to see what the black hive hidden boss would be

Have you considered creating a mod where cultists summon a swarm of insects to attack?

A bug door would be cool. Something like the sphincter from warframe on deimos

They are separate two Mechanoid factions. One represents old Mechanoids abandoned on the planet, the other represents brand new hive sent by the mega corporation.

So far I'm very impressed with how this has turned out. Enjoying my first solo bugmaster run and watching the hive grow. This genuinely feels more like an expansion than a mod lmao. Still got alot to experience though I'd like to provide some feedback of what I've noticed so far: I would love the ability to disconnect bugs from hives and go on raids, treat them as regular animals with all the logistical issues that comes with managing 100 megascarabs just to terrorise the neighbours. Also noticed workers can't refuel insector metapods and jelly morphers. Also wouldn't mind some kind of organic door to create rooms and prevent items from deteriorating, some kind of fugly orifice made out of insect jelly acting as a door couldn't hurt. This last bit is probably a bug or an incompatibility as I reloaded a save while my sorne bugs were morphing into megaspiders and it kind of broke the hives. The bugs age reset to babies and the hives showed as 3 overcapacity, the original bugs nowhere to be seen and the hives refusing to spawn more bugs even if I killed the new ones.

Thanks for the rapid response! Now I can start my game :D

We're using the base game insectoids, so we're not adding a faction in this mod. We're hijacking base game faction.

Oskar Potocki

Call me stupid but Iโ€™m confused. Do I need to add the Vanilla hive faction for the mod to affect the game? The mech mod gave a mech faction. But the mod does not give a VFE faction.

Dropster

Yaayyy! Been looking forward to this one for a while, massive thankyou to the whole team for the insane effort and care you put into these mods!

bee

someone needs to make a xenomorph reskin for this mod, that would be so cool.
