Yep.

[OREOSOME]

I suggest Molitz as the name for the Basic generic rocks.

You missed the buttbots. Robots that are just a butt on wheels, and broadcast the word "butt". And sometimes repeat lines said by other people, but with some words randomly replaced with "butt". When they die, they will leave behind some toxic residue or other.

I haven't played Space Station 13, but I've been on the internet enough to hear about that one.

[DarthBoogalo]

Oh boy, here we go.

It's a longsword with whiplike lightsaber qualities.
So.. it's pretty much a lightsaber, probably shouldn't be easily created, like needing plasma refined into whateverdahell with some uncommon or expensive ore.
Or make them obtainable only from SYNDICATE ATTACK SQUADS.

The extremely small contact area on the slash means that it will act as a stab attack. Make that ~60000--the extremely high velocity will more than make up for the large contact area.

Mod's progressing slowly but surely, i'm chipping away at it bit by bit. The new XCOM: UE will be released tomorrow, so i'll definitely be playing that a lot, but i'll still make time for working on this mod when i can.

[jaxy15]

Hey, just to be clear, there WILL be vampire-like changelings, right?

I'll definitely implement them as best i can, though i can't make them change into people they've absorbed. Some of their other abilities should be easy enough, though.

I wonder, do vampires go hostile if you attack them with your soldiers in vanilla? If so then i can make them a caste of the NT humans as well so they'll blend in and be part of the workforce, killing people to death when no-one's looking and going all-out with its abilities if Security comes after it. If they don't go hostile, perhaps i'll give them an interaction that gives them the [CRAZED] tag so they'll attack everyone, then it's just a matter of how to trigger it...

Idea: Give people a dummy interaction they use on creatures they're attacking. Changeling gets hit with the interaction, that gives it the [CRAZED] tag and thus it goes hostile and puts its stings and Lesser Form and such to use.

Could also have undercover Syndies be affected so they'll pull out an energysword and fight back. It'll have to be a transformation to a body that has a sword as a bodypart, then i can have a real energysword drop with the corpse. Would having the "bodypart" sword be set up like a nail or claw (so it can't be chopped off and ruin your immersions) work?

[Darvi]

No more hostile than a regular civ member, I guess.

[Azated]

My first thoughts when I read this:

1: SHITCURITY IS ROGUE, AI CALL SHUTTEL
2: I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that.
3: Rename all cats to Runtime and give them some sort of tag to disable atmospheric systems.
4: The teal tide has arrived!


Also, bookmarked. Will be keeping an eye on this.

[Darvi]

Shouldn't it be called a turquoise tide though? Since that's the colour of peasants.

Best I could do was teal.

Teal tide sounds nice.

[DarthBoogalo]

Teal Tide is how I tend to deal with Forgotten Beasts. :/ One time I even got away with only one or two casualties!

[612DwarfAvenue]

Oh, don't worry, i intend to include Grey Tides as well. Placeholder creature with a whole bunch of limbs that detach creates a syndrome cloud that raises the limbs as hostile Grey Tide Assistants. Keep your harmbatons ready.
