Here's a sneak peek of what's going on. I am now using a new template, an A4 canvas.

After some talks with JangoD'Soul and Ods I've gotten some advice, I'll be working with 512x512. Current stuff I'm doing:

- 5.11 TacTec Body Armour
- 5.11 24 Rush Backpack
- Some generic plate carrier accessories, mag pouch, utility pouch, PRR and etc.

Found I can do only two textures for daysacks now and the new 1.2 system can let me put them on all bodies. It's gonna get good. I'm happy with the result of the new artstyle, looks a bit like South Park but once it is done I think it'll fit right in vanilla.

Waiting for that job offer from Tynan, brb.

Progress is slow and steady.

EDIT: De-scaled to fit in forums.
EDIT 2: Updated preview to have watermark and more finished previews

Detail: Just doing some backpack varieties, having fun with this new vanilla style. Didn't think I had it in me. Been streaming it with a friend in Discord "burnswhenip" just so he can see the progress and learn a few things.

Looks nice.

Looks nice.

Thank you Skynert you legend. I'm hoping to release a small package mod here before Monday, with at least 2 helmets, 2 body armours, all the backpacks shown and a few weapons. It'll be a little taster for what's coming home.

Looks really good so far.  Taking a break right now.  I need to come up with some new signs and flag ideas.  Take care.

Looks promising.
Mood: excited for what is coming.

512x512 Weapons:

So I can't take images from google anymore and add outlines to them as part of this new series' feature. Pimp My Gun is sadly shut down as an effect of the Adobe Flashpocalypse, and it means I have to do my own art for weapons now. Gave the Glock 17 a try and got very positive feedback from peers.

Moved on to an M24 sniper rifle, felt more simple than expected
(https://i.imgur.com/2ze1W9M.png)
Then we move on to the tacticool territory with the LVOA-C and the stupid freakin handguard detail that I managed to get done while listening to an entire AskReddit video and using the "Multiply" feature a lot and bleeding the original details into a bit more abstract vanilla-esque blend
(https://i.imgur.com/d86dmsk.png)
And the FN MAG which looks epic victory royale, got feedback from Austiopaio that needs less thicker outline to look more bulky, tried it but it looked smalled somehow.

Currently working on the BUMP helmet, finished the front view. Am very pleased with the result.

Other two weapons I've done today:
(https://i.imgur.com/kTmeUY1.png)
DDM4 V11
(https://i.imgur.com/Oj8uIxD.png)
M1911

With the amount of work needed for each weapon, I have come to the realisation that perhaps a lot of weapons are going to be removed from the Rimmu-Nation pool. Same applies for apparel, duplicate backpacks and stuff. It's a new dawn now lads.

Oh my. It's breathtaking!

(https://i.imgur.com/9mmeBZC.jpg)

Finally finished all EXFIL Ballistic views. Plan on doing at least 1 more helmet and armour and backpack, but deadline is before today ends to release this early build.

Next items planned:
- FLUX ballistic helmet
- Flyye Swift Body Armour (May change)
- Flyye tomahawk backpack

Next weapons planned:
- M82A1
- P90
- AK47
- VSS Vintorez (May Change)

Flyye Tomahawk Backpack

Just got notice to be back at work tomorrow. I'll have to finish this, code back at base and just release what I have asap.

TFW I'm running out of cash dough to pay for food, still getting used to managing my food money, transition from cheap training food to real world adult responsibilities are new to me so when I got called I got a bit nervous knowing that if I didn't manage my money well I'd be out by the end of the week. Frick. On the bright side I get to be on a helicopter tomorrow, worse case scenario they'll make me jump out of it.

Cancel that, that is the best case scenario cause I can eat the dirt and save that way

Note to self: Maybe if I stopped buying stupid call of duty mobile skins I'd have more food money, who'da thunk

Better get my butt to base. See you next time space cowboys.

Note: Added more detail where I could, I.E. visible and accurate back view seen of helmet without being worn. Will be a pain in the butt later cause quality can slow me down, but hopefully it means I dont have to return and re-remaster the remaster of these mods in 2023 when the Army tries to get rid of me by making me do postings all day painting picket fences white

Yes, I am doing south views of these but I just flip the north view and paint over it so it's not worth showing

Final thing folks, please vote in the poll. Need an opinion for what to do with Rimmu-Nation².

Would you rather have the onskin clothing/jackets and etc. separated from the Armour/Webbing/Helmets/Backpacks or altogether in one mod?
The option is there for people who do not want to oversaturate their saves with unwanted onskins like before, but may still want to use the tacticrow/tacticool/crowboy/cowboy gear.

If separated "Rimmu-Nation² - Outdoor Gear" will be standalone from "Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing".

(https://i.imgur.com/zy4jXmb.png)

Did a weapon before helicopter time today. Turns out I don't have to jump out of it and that I'm not gonna be broke as I thought. Need to trust God more.

Anyways this is the Desert Tech HTI, I know I could've done the M107/M82A1 first but I thought to do something not so commonly done already, always found the design of this .50 CAL AMR a lot more interesting cause it isn't seen as much.

Time for me to pop smoke guys, will try to do at least one weapon everyday or something. Really wanna do the FLUX helmet, gonna be a nice new addition to the headgear. Missed release window, no time to code atm cause I gotta learn how to code the backpacks with the 1.2 stuff.

See you later space crowboy

Wow, I have to say I am so excited for these new textures! :D

CP, how extensive are you going with these awesome weapon updates, planning to just update them, or all textures + some new guns?

CP, how extensive are you going with these awesome weapon updates, planning to just update them, or all textures + some new guns?

Hey my friend! Im planning on rebuilding from the ground up. Doing the coding a different way, I.E. get rid of the old version compatibilities because I've been doing previous version compatibility wrong resulting in the mods taking memory space that isn't necessary.

I want to get rid of the black hat station until it is reworked to a good standard from Military Furniture, sadly the vending machines and arcade machines are going too. They may return reworked as standalone optional mods. Recruitment may end up having it's own new mechanic, along with the radio. They may also be made standalone.

I'm thinking of doing my own CE patches now, depends on how complex the coding is. I want to get rid of many weapons in Rimmu-Nation, like multiple versions of the same weapon. I want to get rid of multiple versions of the clothings I.E. minimise variants of helmets and hats if possible if they're the same kind.

Main plan for apparel is to stop doing outfits that are both legs and tops unless they're coveralls or flight suits etc. I want people to have the ability to customise what pants they wear with whatever top they want. That is gonna be tricky cause showing pants texture may need C#. I'll find out. If it does I'll just pay the cost.

Besides new textures that's my long term goal. I may also choose to balance the weapons after vanilla, but I think a lot of people do prefer the Rimmu-Nation projectile to stay the way they are.

EDIT:
TL;DR Red Horse 2 plans
- Make clothing more modular with visible pants and separate tops
- Remove highly imbalanced production buildings such as Black Hat stations and rework them for later
- Make factions depend on Rimmu-Nation so that we can save memory on RimWorld with less duplicate files
- Remove old RW version compatibilities to save memory for the mods
- New vanilla style textures in high resolution
- Minimise amount of apparel if possible, I.E. Different coloured fleece jackets? Just do one white one that can be recoloured in code
- Chickens

Modularity is the name of the game. What I wanna find out is whether or not we can play with headgear layers and allow players to have all kinds of configurations with different accessories. The only lead I have on this if the Vanilla Expanded Gasmask which can be worn under helmets. We'll find out if this is possible eventually.

Got stuff to do today, will get back to work on these mods later.

Can´t have too many sa80 variants.
An l98a1 would be neat :p

Do you plan on scratching camo patterns/uniform variants from red horse v2?
if so, having one gorka in camo would maybe an idea. From my mind you have duplicate plain gorka variants. So one could still be a plain gorka  and another a gorka e from sso f.e
Also, I assume you won´t delete red horse v1 so one can continue to use it on older saves?

The modularity would be awesome. Potentially saves item duplicates and very neat feature.
On a side note regarding ak 47: type 56 or akm would be way more usefull since the real world original ak and s-variant was, compared to type 56 and akm(s), way less produced.

Greetings and stay healthy!

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]

Today's goal:
MTEK FLUX Ballistic helmet
Patriot Ghost plate carrier (currently in progress)
Another weapon, most likely either M82A1, AK47 or P226

If headgear modularity is possible then I'm doing eye pros (aka eye protection, just sounds ally to say it that way) as well so we can have the whole shebang. Body armour and harness modularity is already possible. I wanna know if backpacks as an extra layer will be easy. Either way I want this done and it's a mission of mine.

After all of that we can think about trousers and onskins and whether or not I'm not gonna do outfits anymore. You guys don't mind outfits right?

Camo versions are not getting scrapped at all, as for weapons things like Type 56 and AKM, I don't mind having cause they're technically different weapons. My thing was wanting to avoid 10 different M4s again. We can still have desert eagle and a gold version but I don't want something like what we had in v1.

I don't want to take down the originals especially since people aren't done playing with them, I also haven't finished Red Horse 2 so there's no reason to take that stuff down. What may likely happen is me abandoning support for those mods when 1.3 or some other new update comes and we're far ahead in terms of RH2

I'm trying to do at least 1 weapon a day guys but I'm covering a lot of things at once so progress is good but slow considering the sheer amount of things that need remastering

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]

Anyway back to mods

(https://i.imgur.com/TOXDly5.jpg)

Done the Hulk view of the Patriot Ghost plate carrier. Made a new type of magazine pouch that also doubles as a utility pouch.

I have a question for you good tacticool folks:
What do you guys think about the pouch? I mean it is a pouch people do use, not sure if it fits on this type of body armour. Usually if someone buys an armour like this, they may not go for a velcro pouch cause they wanna look ally AF but that doesn't mean someone won't prefer them.

Please lemme know on the post below, otherwise I'll keep it.

Peltor ear def front and back texture improved

Excellent work CP, can't wait to see the done product. Tynan should definitely hire you.

(https://i.imgur.com/9qn8Wte.jpg)

Got started on Camelbak Motherlode. I've been dreading to do the most popular stuff I.E. Camelbak, Flyye, Crye and Ops Core cause I get obsessive about getting all their stuff right. I'm happy with the current results. The DDT Ghost plate carrier is pretty much done, just need resizing for all body types.

(https://i.imgur.com/ExeZrKA.jpg)

First attempt to make headgear modular was a failure, tried ApparelLayerDefs and made my custom layers. Sadly those only work for body apparel, not headgear.

(https://i.imgur.com/4J9zlXk.jpg)

Just used the overhead layer for the headgear and it worked! The headgear still have their own bodypartgroups which is what allows them to be worn together. Now the problem for the ear defenders?

They render above helmets. If I do not use this code: <hatRenderedFrontOfFace>true</hatRenderedFrontOfFace> your pawns will go bald. This code is what's causing the issue, so it will always be prioritized to render above the helmet. Pain in the butt.

Can't hire taranchuk this time, cause it's "transpiler" related which he says he doesn't know how to do. Stuck on this problem at the moment.

Also working on a new FLUX helmet, taking its sweet time cause obviously it's not easy and I got other things today.

• You have access to the Comms Console, and a new option to open "Rimdeed" is available
• Rimdeed allows you to seek new applicants for the small fee of $5000 (price subject to change)
• Not all details are revealed about the applicant
• Applicants have randomized text describing themselves
• Applicants may come from any faction including modded
• Max 3 applicants per request

Concept UI for Indeed Rimdeed webpage

(https://i.imgur.com/FfR2G5n.png)
You spend the silver to seek out new pawns

(https://i.imgur.com/NpajAKu.png)
After 1-3 days a notification letter pop ups "Job applications ready!" and clicking the letter opens this screen.
You may accept more than one applicant, after hiring them, they will arrive within 1-3 days.

• Screen displays max of 2 skills the pawn is passionate with
• May or may not show their incapability
• Has random text to describe themselves, gonna have fun with this feature cause they will say silly things to "sell" themselves

That's my pitch, budget for this commission to be coded by Taranchuk can reach around $100 but he says minimum it'll take is 5 hours so that means $50. I had to seriously consider this cause we all like prioritizing bills and food over mods, so I'll leave the pitch here and see what you all think. Perhaps even better, not that I'm pressuring any of you, that some sugar daddy will decide "yeah go on lad, witness me" and offer putting some funds in. I'll repeat, I do recommend you prioritize your bills, your family and yourself so please don't feel obligated to help with this project.

That's it guys, will continue with the things I can do. I'm only fishing to see how much support this can get within this tacticool community we have (if we have one) since we have like 5 guys and one of them is yourself reading this.

It's a hit to the morale, spent the rest of the day sleeping. Trying to save money too see, so I didn't really have a proper meal all day. Didn't do too great.

Some would say, this is all thanks to the Navy's ingenuity in their willingness to push boundaries by experimenting on the aerodynamics of a battle dress. I'm just kidding, I apologize to all of you who had to witness this.

Saw a £50 competition to make an original design battle dress for anime girls. I thought to myself "Yeah I need that money" so here we were spending the rest of my day doing this. First half of the day was doing an animation for TMC cause he wanted me to make one for his WIP mod. Here's your eye bleach:

Come on Canute it's good exercise for the fingers to do press ups on the mouse to get to the download link!  ::)

I may sort it out later when I release Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons since we'll have more things to download then

Okay so before I slept I decided to burn through sleep time. Here's to hoping I don't get in trouble tomorrow by oversleeping on the job.

Osprey Mk III body armour pouches removed, I believe it looks better and it's intended to be worn with webbing anyway despite having MOLLE. (Webbing comes later)

(https://i.imgur.com/xNBX8cS.png)

5.11 Balaclava added, was a pain cause it kept rendering above helmets, turned out I just had to change the defname for some reason since calling it something like 511B made it become prioritised above other headgear

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons added. Yes you read that correctly, your eyes do not decieve you.
(https://i.imgur.com/1hDeGlq.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/IoDPAX5.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/424Bezh.jpg)

Ironically spent so much time making the weapons HQ they had to be downsized in game cause the knives and handguns were too big.

Rifles had to be sized down too cause they were too big. I'm thinking I might as well change all these to 256x256 but keep working on the 512 canvas.

Few weapons missing, i.e. STI 2011 Combat Master, Remington 870 and MP5. Also the workbenches and whatever are slapped onto vanilla for now, just like clothes. I had to stick to original "RNApparel" and "RNGun" naming system in defs for the .xml coding since I didn't realise I already did that for clothes, so it's too late to call them "RN2" for those of you spawning them in dev mode. This message is really for guys using Rimmu-Nation original version, spawning the items will get confusing cause the system is similar but not quite the same.

That's all she wrote, yes Canute I'll sort out the download link later, right now I really have to pee and sleep. Preferably not at the same time.

---

EDIT: Yes, yes the Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons mod size folder is too big, that's because the original versions (of the texture) take a lot of space and I've had to keep their backup while using the downsized versions. As stated, my planned solution for these mods is to downsize further to a 256x256 canvas. Ironically the problem I have now with remastering is there's too much quality that it can cause problems for the long term players with hundreds of mods, so I have to reduce quality. One of the most narcissistic sounding statements I have made. "There's too much quality." Sorry lads, gonna bang them out tomorrow.

SOFLAM isn't a separate weapon system anymore, it goes in your tiny little hip just like the other bombardment targeters in the game so you can look freakin' tacticool walking around with an oversized looking telescope by your side. Sure as hell impractical in real life, which is why it goes in a haversack, but who cares? You look ally as fricc dude.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, deleted original 512x512 textures from the mod folder of Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons to save space. Will think about size reduction of textures later for reducing memory usage stuff

EDIT pt 2: The Ludeon Boogaloo - Skynert buddy I know I said I was gonna do G36, and I'll yield and do the G36K just because it's you. I was gonna do it next but it intimidated me with all its unique shapes and details so I've been sticking to common and simple-ish designs. I'll try get it done this week, always aim for a new armour and helmet during weekends but I try do weapons everyday if it isn't busy

Found this in the garage before we went, a Mk 7 helmet which is the same colour in the mod and without a helmet cover.

I'm personally not fond of military training and/or jokes, but I like the items in the mods. Mostly. Weapons are cooler than ever, but something in the armors makes me feel like they're a bit blurred and bland. Probably the way actual stuff is supposed to look. Just personal opinion here. About Rimdeed - I find it to be a very good idea. Not sure if I would pay money for that though. Good luck on your training, people are actually reading your "stories". Well, some of them, at least.

• You have access to the Comms Console, and a new option "use Rimbay marketplace" is available
• Rimbay allows you to make used item purchases for the delivery fee of $500 (price subject to change)
• Item health will range from 50% to 100%
• Meals and raw ingredients (meat and vegetables) except survival packaged meals will be banned from sale.
• Luciferium will be banned from sale.
• Purchases will have a 1-7 day delivery delay
• Sales will have a 1-7 day payment delay but your item is taken immediately
• Upon purchasing or selling you will receive a confirmation everytime the "accept button" is clicked to confirm your order or sale payment, and that they will arrive within 1-7 working days detailing what item was sold or purchased and how much was spent or will be paid. Delivery fee charge of $500 is included.
• When purchase or sales fund arrives, you will be given a confirmation through a positive incident letter "Rimbay: Delivered"
• Archotech and other high tier items will be tagged "Very expensive"
• Rimbay online marketplace item stocks will change every 4-7 days

Note: Prices will depend on item quality, some item categories being more expensive but the previews do not reflect actual prices.

Question:
What do you guys think about Rimbay? Already wrote the order for Rimdeed to Taranchuk the coder. Here's to hoping it doesn't cost me over 100 USD to make, but I'm hoping Rimbay will be freakin' epic. Imagine buying a used nuclear weapon over there and getting annoyed that it's been 3 days and your order hasn't arrived yet. It'll be funny.

I appreciate that, not everyone likes everything I put out, I just can't help it now cause this is what I do. I find it cathartic to write the stories here sometimes cause it gets stressful here being away from family and not having anyone to talk to. I'm living on my own now and it's all new to me, there's nobody to tell how my day was except for some of the readers here (if they were interested) so I just put it out if possible.

As for the comment about body armour, it can't be helped they come out blurrier in game but I've tried to replicate vanilla style best I can. No inner black lines and different shades of colour. I understand its harder to see especially cause everything is either brown or green but that's just how it is, especially when zoomed out. After all, the stuff is meant to be camouflaged

---

Still busy today guys, no art or updates. Did send the order for Rimdeed, and another planned Rimbay expansion if it works out. Haven't got much time left, but I played enemy again today and will do so again tommorrow. Shot good guys, got shot by good guys, much pain, much cheddar and onion crisps and water, not much sleep. Goodnight

I'm not sure about this idea really. If the fee is too big, then it'll be pointless to purchase stuff here, since it will not just cost more in the end but will also be damaged already. Need to be careful with numbers. The armor, well, I'm not a big fan of vanilla style. Camouflage part makes sense though, I guess. Good luck on your training and don't get shot in the head - you'll need that part for later.

I find your stories interesting( also to read how other armed forces do their stuff)

Regarding the shopping mod idea: I use a system roughly like that but it gives me x amount of specific item from your weapon mod f.e but with random quality. A system like yours where I can specifically order item x in y quality is neat. In the end, it all depends on the price and your liking of the mod I guess.

Question on the side: how far/much issued is the virtus kit?

(https://i.imgur.com/RLSffr3.png)
As said I would, I was gonna work on the G36K. It's still in progress, gonna sleep cause I have to wake up 0830 to clean rifles and pistols all day long. Oh yeah.

And no the magazine isn't an image, it was painted over as well with the eyedrop tool being used heavily

EDIT: Correction, the small plastic "hole" near the rounds on vector art hasn't been painted over yet so that stuff is part of the image, big oof.

Could always reduce the fee to something else or just have no fee. Rimbay is always online so long as there's power and a comms console so that's its advantage over any other trader. I did get shot in the head, face and eyes from these lads but GSR and helmet made me feel none of that. You feel it on your arms and legs most cause they have the least layers in terms of clothing, so they aimed for that if they wanted to get cheeky. I got double tapped by 3 guys with half a mag of C8 for doing a last stand with a pistol after getting shot in the leg. Good times.

Happy you do bro, when I screw up badly (like I did above) I find some peace in venting it out here in the forums, I find it funny later when I read it back.

Rimbay - item qualities will be randomised cause vanilla already does that.

Note on body armours: Have considered it, may redo them all because I don't like how Briggs doesn't like it and I want it done right. Especially because I realised the magazine pouches on 5.11 TacTec is on the right side of the plate carrier, when most of the ally bods I see have the mag pouches on their left side since you are told never to take your main hand off the pistol grip (commonly the right hand). To those who don't know why, it's in case an enemy shows up, you can still have your hand near the trigger instead of having to flap about and possibly get filled in

Yeah, have seen a fair bit of virtus kit on ebay, hence asking since f.e german i.d.z stuff you don´t find imo that plentiful/often. But then again, the Bundeswehr is a story on its own regarding funding/equipment  ::)

In regards to the plastic knobs/studs on the g36 mag, those should be the ,,clips" to put two or more mags together jungle style. Sig 550+ mags also have that feature afaik.

Ladies and German rifles, I present the G36K. Only two textures produced this week, busy week. Did not want this to be the only thing I finish this week so I also threw in something easy.. No not a pistol, a knife.

Ladies and Vietnam veterans, the "First Blood" survival knife. Oh yeah. Absolutely rushed texture but doesn't look half bad for an hour job.

(https://i.imgur.com/RI4zWaX.jpg)

Quick knife balancing mafs:
Eickhorn Recondo - Fastest cooldown with the least damage
KABAR - Slower knife than Recondo for stabbing but more damage
First Blood - Slowest knife for stabbing but most damage

This only applies for stabbing, I believe all their slash and handle blunt damage are the same.

P.S. Was a coincidence I am nicknamed "Rambo" in the office now (cause I shot a friendly during ex) and I choose to do the knife from First Blood, wanted to do it since I did KABAR. Pretty tacticool.

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. It's alright, I can share the pain with you lot by not having dual mags on your rifles in this Rimmu-Nation² update. Will think more about work and more mods later, wanna rest.

Cheers all!

P.S. If your balaclava renders above helmet, I was told that all you have to do is wear the helmet first and it'll be fixed. Cheerio.

Worked on M84 stun grenade last night, trying to get it to be a belt layer item you can use as a secondary just like the Vanilla Expanded version grenade belt but right now it's not coming out with the desired results.

Here's other textures for it:

My opinion on the armor textures isn't exactly valuable since as far as I know, most of the Rimworld community goes nuts after vanilla-like style, unlike me. Though it's a bit hard to tell what's the real situation when there's so few people actually talking. Cool new guns, by the way.

Big shoutout to Taranchuk who made this mod possible!

Without try out rimdeed so far i allready got a suggestion.
It look's like you get 1-5 random pawn.
But at last myself i would like to choose one or more categories.
Like need a skill of x in y.
Need passion/burning passion in y
One search criteria should be free, and adding further ones would cost extra.

A bit too costly to implement sadly Canute, customer service, a simple joke feature alone cost 20 bucks. I may have to reserve it as a possibility in the future or leave it out completely

You know, I prefer steam workshop becouse it's self update. And this G36 is awesome! My second favourite rifle, first is P90 becouse StarGate SG-1. I wish for real StarGate teleporter in my Rim ;/

Add mod's with item's to an existing game shouldn't made any problems. Problems only happen when you remove such mods ! :-)
But just to be safe, keep the old safegame.
When a mod add new faction they don't appear, except you use (pre 1.2) Faction Discovery or for 1.2 Vanilla Expanded Framework so new faction will discovered over time.

Yea, I know but I use Old Rimmunation stuff in my current playthrough

So far i see is Rimmu-Nation² a new mod and don't replace any of the old ones.
You might have some item's with the same name if Rimmu-Nation² add similar ites like you allready got at Rimmu-Nation, but i don't think that should be a problem, but it depend how CP defined these items.

All the Rimmu-Nation² items have been designed to have new defnames, they're not gonna overwrite anything because they are new items. That's the problem. I wanted people to leave the old stuff and use the new stuff but there's not enough content for it yet.

Balancing is totally the same with RN projectiles using the same defnames and stats and etc, apart from a few minor changes like body armours and helmets being nerfed in terms of giving less bonuses and helmets slowing you down this time.

- Ban system for getting jobseekers killed within protection added
- New service package types added
- More CV variants
- About.xml tweaks
- New moodlet for hired jobseekers
- New moodlet for selling pawns to Corporate Hubworld

* Will Trade In with Rimdeed cause "sold to slavery" negative moodlet?
- Employees sent to the Corporate Hubworld, will be taken care of and provided high quality facilities for the benefit of sending them to future employment that they are consenting to and are given incentive to apply for. This therefore sets a mutual understanding between all of our clients, that Rimdeed® publically condemns the slaver industry and is an official business that conducts things according to what the laws require.

* What is the Corporate Hubworld?
- The Rimdeed® Corporate Hubworld is where we take former slaves and other offworld employees. Rimdeed® believes in delivering quality of care to every employee who we highly value due to the profits they generate. Our facilities have single housing accomodations, five-star dining, recreational facilities and GlitterTech level medical treatment. During their stay in the Corporate Hubworld they will undergo training to become effective team members for when they progress to a new career.

NOTE:
If you've been using this non-DRM copy for your save, simply ignore the error regarding something not being found. It is because the silver package has been moved to a new webpage in-game. Safe to ignore.

"Pizza Time" - Spider Parker 2002

Pizza Time - Fast Food Service
- Online delivery
- Fast food hediff effects when consumed, slowing down metabolism, blood filtration, movespeed etc.
- Drink hediff effects, slower restfall speed, faster movespeed, addiction etc.
- Uniform
- Pizza delivery job, maybe with salary or simple quest events

What stresses me out is, I start a small mod idea and it turns out great but I'm bombarded with a lot of people, often from steam wanting to pitch something in not realizing how expensive or difficult their suggestion is. Sometimes it can get overbearing. I was just doing this Pizza Time mod and was bombarded with suggestions to make NPCs use visitor AI and drop the pizza and this and that like it's the easiest thing in the world. Not that easy folks. I understand suggestions are good but the way I counter sometimes and explain why it can't be done only to be given the short refute ended with "easy." retort drives me insane, partly cause of sleep deprivation from the mods.

I'll get on going, very tired tonight and I have a meeting that I can't miss this time with someone important. Cheers all

P.S. Couldn't find Peter Parker's exact helmet model so I found ProTec who happens to also do bike helmets. I am doing some online service mods to make it easier for people to focus more on fighting and less on production and micro management, however I've been doing my best to find downsides from choosing these easy access systems.

I just try to remeber what MMORPG got the /pizza command, which redirect you to Pizza delivery. :-)

QuoteCouldn't find Peter Parker's exact helmet model

No spiderman delivery service ?
Since Peter is allways broken (before he got sponsored by Stark), Spidy courier service could be the fastest in the town.

About a year or two ago we were talking about the "Wasteland Republic" which was supposed to be a faction based on the NCR.

What sparked the old interest in this vanilla based faction that I used to play as in the A15 days, is when someone voted for me to prioritise faction mods. I thought "What faction would be the easiest to release first? Can't be this.. or that.. what if.."

And then it hit me, it's gotta be one I haven't shown everyone yet, and it's gotta be one with the most vanilla looking designs. The Wasteland Republic Rangers.

I'm thinking about changing the name of their faction, but I can't think of a better replacement.

(https://i.imgur.com/IwFW9Dw.png)

(New version, with the Vigilante Helmet) (No armour planned at the moment.)
(https://i.imgur.com/eXYVP6S.jpg)

Betty Lester is the ranger who started this organization. She is someone who was a part of a republic that fell, a sole survivor that believed in a sense of justice and making sacrifices in order to do what is right. After having lost all of the people she knew, she lived a life as a ranger cleaning up towns and becoming a folk hero around locals. To them, she didn't need to make a difference to the whole world because the differences she's made through her choices meant the whole world to them.

It's a very goodie two shoes faction, and I've noticed the trend lately of Rimdeed and my recent mods in development being very wholesome and departs more from the edgy, gritty, low saturation dark themes of the modern age and the wars being waged by shadowy organizations and governments. I just felt like maybe this is the kind of stuff a lot of us need right now, going back to the old ideas of what brings hope, and the good ol' fashioned "by the books" kind of heroes that have a sense of morality that isn't overshadowed by multiple shades of grey. Pizzas and fizzy drinks, badly written job applications inspite of a world full of raiders and organ harvesting. I thought to me, we live in a very cynical age and things seem to be getting bleaker, and subconsciously this has lead me to producing some mods lately that are very "goodie goodie" type, especially with the Sam Raimi Spiderman references, because those movies in of itself were very bleak if you think about it, yet our protagonist managed to rise above all the hell thrown at him. He wasn't a hero because of the powers, he was a hero because he didn't need the powers to be the person he turned out to be. He just needed to keep going, and to keep trying to be better than who he was when he first began.

The Vigilante Helmet has combined designs of DOOM's raven helmet, HALO's recon armour helmet and the clone wars helmet attachments, visor and radio. It makes for a scrapyard look. I don't know if I should do a body armour, perhaps a power armour that dusters can go over.

Right now this faction is having an identity crisis, what exactly is it trying to be?

It can't be the NCR, it's been done. Their weapons are cold war, some sci-fi suggestions for the elite pawns. It can't be both NCR, old western and cold war.

Weapon pool:
Ruger Red Label shotgun
Winchester Model 70 rifle
AR-15 (original wood stock design)
Colt Walker (The revolver from Marty Robbins' Big Iron song)
Sci-fi revolver* (* means may be removed)
Sci-fi sniper rifle*

Apparel pool:
Ranger Duster
Ranger Hat
"Vigilante" Helmet
Sling Haversack
Haversack
Ranger badge
Handkerchief scarf*

Very tired, thought to share my thought process on the recent mods in development. I wanted a break in the super bleak future that is VOID (that was a metaphor too) and the inevitability of the Red Horse story leading to all the factions having to deal with them. In this mod series (my head cannon) cannon, it always began with the player's vanilla faction, in this case my one were the Wasteland Rangers. I think it's a perfect time to introduce them, especially now that I know I can get the feeling of their faction right because of the new art style I'm doing.

Of course, I can't end on talking about good and greatness without mentioning God. Things do get hard, with everything going on, the pandemic and other things to worry about. It's nice to know there's good out there, and it's all handed down by God. I'm grateful for him and I will continue praying for even you guys. I'll get to bed now, stay safe, stay healthy and God bless. That's Michael Franzese line, sorry lads

No spiderman delivery service ?
Since Peter is allways broken (before he got sponsored by Stark), Spidy courier service could be the fastest in the town.

Names... Oh my for me it's always problem. When I neeed in my novel name dreadnought's for example, it's hard to make something original, so I name them from highest Earth mountains,
Everest for example. You want Rangers to be good good guy's. Maybe... call them Betty's Rangers? Like those good mercs from Fallout 3 - Relly's Rangers

Very cool suggestion, but I do know it's one of those things were Betty Lester's character would outright refuse and even put it in her death will because the rangers were never about any individual person, she would believe that it's about the people. I know it's all cheesy Mary Sue stuff, but I enjoy cheesy goodie two shoes stories cause oftentimes the hero faces the greatest challenges when they're offered to compromise in such a world full of adversity and evil. I'm gonna stop blagging on about that for now, but we'll think of a name later, hopefully by the time all their gear is done it'll be ready

P.S. you made me look up old Fallout 3 lore now, very enjoyable!

"Vigilante Helmet"
This is the colour I've decided on and it closely mirrors the originally planned colour. I didn't want it to be too close to the NCR colour, despite a red visor looking pretty cool, it just ripped the identity away because everytime I saw the helmet, I saw what I felt like was a rip off.

(https://i.imgur.com/NiS36Ti.png)

"Colt Walker"
Ladies and Cowboys, the Colt Walker. I read that it is the weapon referenced in Big Iron by Marty Robbins, and it's what Marty was holding in the album cover. If I'm wrong I'll just cry about it later.

(https://i.imgur.com/1nsE118.gif)

Planned items:
- A holster that possibly produces a shield belt you can shoot out of, but it won't be as strong as the UAC or VOID belts.
- Badge
- Vigilante Armour. Has to be original, not gonna be easy.

I'll go sleep folks, goodnight

I like Hawaiian pizza. Hmm maybe it's a reason why I also like our WarCrime Simulator... I mean... Rimworld!

Colt looks nice, but i really want that duster. You know that I prefer Rimmunation over other guns mods even when I have them, but I also use 1 kind of AR for example AK-47, one kind of pistol etc. I mean my pawns are using AK's even if my armoury is full of other guns. On current save i "stole" 4 LAW launchers from drunked muffalo who entered my chemshine stash. Few days later mechs attack (Thanks Oscar from VFE team ;p) They wiped out half of colony becouse I forgot about those LAW xD Reload time. I also forget that I can still call for support from Military Furniture.

Muffaberg Root Beer. A once obscure family business harassed for protection money and free root beer by raiders. The Rangers liberated them from their captors and received the handsome reward of lifetime supply of free root beer. The company has since grown into mass production, further supported by the fame it receives from being associated with the rangers.

Macronchy Bros Ranger Rations. Formerly a small time, independent company that helped produce survival packaged meals, the brothers owed Ranger "Betty Lester" their lives. They were aided in a small town shootout with local raiders. From there on the town flourished and was left alone, and the Macronchy Bros decided to manufacture a new line of delicious Ranger Rations, free for the Rangers to resupply with anytime they need. The business has grown and are now everywhere the rangers are stationed.

Doing more items for the Rangers, still trying to find a name. The root beer brand is based on "Bundaberg" root beer which my mom stockpiled in her living room and I happened to only discover on Google trying to make root beer, not knowing we had some around. The rations are based on Maconochie Army Rations from WWI.

I'm happy you like the original Duster! I based it off a Red Dead Redemption 2 picture of someone who created an Arizona Ranger. It's colorable so that's a massive customization plus. Thank you for your story, it reminds me I need to do more weapons after these mods are sorted. I forgot how difficult it is to deal with armored enemies like Centipedes without Anti-Tank now, easy to take for granted with the old Rimmu-Nation Arsenal.

Also Pineapple on Pizza is great, I feel sad I've been peer pressured into only taking BBQ ones now cause I got roasted too many times in basic training for liking pineapple on pizza. Never forget.

Yes! All the apparel and weapons, craftable. I am unsure about the food items however, due to things like the Root Beer's ingredients being unavailable. Could always do neutroamine and ambrosia? Maybe.

Got called back to work Thursday so I don't know what that means busy wise but I'm back to my lonesome in camp by then. Hope its not for too long

Root beer can be made off beer and... and... potato. Why? Why not.

(https://i.imgur.com/g5Eiqzr.png)

Finished the vigilante armour. Left the Hulk front view with a duster for example.

I decided I wanted to do an elite ranger force and got into looking at M1 helmets, some kind of special forces like the SAS. Then I kinda got carried away.. Chose the P1944 British WWII gasmask and also decided maybe the best headgear to go with this is.. The Brodie helmet. That's another British Great War equipment, rather than M1.

It made me think, this isn't quite right. It's not western, it's not "rangers" and it ain't even NCR apart from the Brodie helmet. I was thinking maybe go all the way with it, give these guys a brand new dark colored winter coat, the similar kind the peaky blinders use. It'll look like a duster but it's a winter coat. Their units will be called "Paratroopers" or "Airborne Rangers" and they'll have the Thompson submachinegun. Was thinking about giving them the MP5.

That still didn't sit right by me. These guys aren't like the other rangers. It would work if they were special forces for the Wasteland Republic, but I'm not doing Wasteland Republic, those guys are only a part of the back story of the rangers now. If I were to do W.R. as a faction, I'd need to craft more uniforms.. more weapons and more styles for the footsoldiers. I'd have to re-brand the story of the faction so far, and the ranger specific gear like the rations and backpack? well they may have to be redone cause it's not just about the rangers now.

All in all, I wanted to ask if it bothered anybody here that there's some obvious non-western British style forces.

Faction pawnkinds
- Ranger
Apparel:
Ranger Hat, Duster,
Flak vest, button shirt, pants

- ?? (Paratrooper) (Airborne Ranger?) (Elite Ranger?)
Apparel:
P1944 Gas mask, Brodie helmet,Duster (black winter coat?? new textures needed)
Flak vest, button shirt, pants

button shirt, pants

- Veteran Ranger:
Apparel:
Equipment: Vigilante Armour Set, Duster
button shirt, pants

It may mean that I have to accommodate the backstory for these special forces guys, who are clearly a homage to the SAS cause why the heck not if they're paratroopers. I don't want to overcomplicate or mess up the identity of the faction and deviate too much from the original plan.

What are your thoughts as someone who wants the faction mod as a feature? Please give us a shout about it.

Should I just scrap this extra idea of a ranger special operations force and keep things simple, or throw it in?

After all, this isn't an American faction, it's American-based off the Rangers of old. We are in an outer Rimworld setting where nations and states aren't really clear. It could make sense for this different style of rangers to co-exist because they were some kind of ally that they absorbed into the Corps of Rangers. I'll wait for your comments, dear readers.

EDIT: Forgot to add.. This is their faction logo. Thought it didn't need to be anything else, like the Texas Rangers

It looks good, but it's not ranger material. It's not republic material either, which just gave birth to a new faction idea of mine: Outlander "Commonwealth". It's a new kind of faction like outlanders, they're a commonwealth advancing in the industrial tech. They keep to themselves. We'll worry about it later.

QuoteAirborne Rangers

Maybe Drop Pod Rangers? Becouse, for unknown reason in the Rim we dont have airplanes. Even bikes ;p

Rangers are good vigilante guys, they should have simple gear and units. It's your story and faction but I think they dont need "special forces" becouse they are not Task Force 141, Ghosts or GROM (Polish special forces) Rangers are not a part of "Coalition of Drunk Blue Muffalo", if they were, then ok they can have even armored muffalo unit. Or Division 303 formed from muffalos who can fly in Spitfire's...

Chosen the M1 Garand as the main battle rifle of the Rangers. To this day, still can't think of a name for their faction.

I have been very busy today, motivation is low knowing tommorrow I'm off to return to camp for weapon cleaning and other unknown surprise chores. Hopefully not picking up crap cause I miss the meeting on Zoom again this Friday. That's a reminder to myself.

Betty Lester, another animation with the new gear for the Mod collection portrait of Red Horse²: Factions. Her hairstyle is based on reboot Lara Croft's hairstyle, and it dawned on me I have to do all of Chicken Mitchell hairs again in 512x512. I only did the front view for this animation, I didn't wanna do inner black lines again so the end product for the hairstyle looks pretty good to me.

See this is what makes me wonder now. If I did the full Wasteland Republic it'd be extra work but I will have good reason to give upgrades for the whole faction, but the problem with that is the Rangers will lose their own identity and possibly just end up looking like another RH faction. Cheers for the suggestions.

Hey Canute thanks for the suggestion, I don't know about the shield belts now, but I may do the built-in jump packs that need chemfuel. Would you guys think that's a great add-on for the vigilante armour? Or just leave it as-is?

We'll see. I gotta go sleep, cheers all

Jetpack, hard to say. It's too WH40k style for me. I have idea! What's Rangers home planet name? Maybe call them [Planet_name] Rangers. Like... they originated on Wooly Muffalo planet, but idea of that kind of good guys giving free root beer and muffalo, and no fee protection from Manhunting rabbits go to the stars. So on my Sand planet I can have Sand Rangers, on other... [Planet_name] Rangers. Im no modder, Im simply consumer of mods and dont know if you can randomise names in that way. And M1 Garand, they say you cant hear images. <reload_clang>

And btw. Im understanding that right, that you are in the army but also work somewhere?

Rocket boots UI, I don't even care lads. ROCKET BOOTS!

You have to refuel it with chemfuel, Max I'm allowing is 25 and each of those is a tile. Max range you can jump so far is 8 tiles, but I may reduce it. Vigilante Armour isn't built for flying but we ain't about flying here, we're about lookin' cool in the sky.

Getting closer to the objective. As expected, root beer is the biggest pain in the butt to code cause I have to make it a drug with new addiction coding. BOO!

I'll get back to the coding later, got lots to do today.

I have decided Canute's suggestion is cool. Shield belts AND rocket boots, but the shield belt is more of a bonus, not the main means of protection so it won't even be as good as vanilla shield belt (especially since you can shoot out of it) and rocket boots, enough said, they're cool.

Jump pack testing, bit of an annoyance cause I have to call it "jump pack" cause Taranchuk only coded it to be one name. If I call it rocket boots any future jump packs I do will be labelled "rocket boots". The animation isn't as cool as Locust Armor but that's cause it's an originally coded mod, not taken from Royalty. Had I just taken Locust Armor coding we could end up running into issues with big man Tynan like O21 did and the mod will need Royalty DLC dependency. Big no no for people who don't have the DLC.

Hey look, I'm not a big fan of the conspiracy triangles either, they're not very tacticool but this is what the person requested. They want me to make this part of RH2 which I don't like the thought of. Initially he wanted this to be a new service Rimdeed offers, and I thought that won't make sense in my story cause Rimdeed is specifically for jobs. Then he wants me to use my Offworld Bank (unfinished concept mod for a bank account)

Reference:
(https://i.imgur.com/BWQw0V1.png)

Quick rundown description:
Offworld bank allows you to use an online banking service to withdraw and deposit gold and silver to a planet outside of the outer rim. There is an interest rate increase every 30 days in your account.

This person commissioning me wants this company to be involved with adding a new currency which I also thought doesn't fit in the Red Horse story cause Offworld Bank is just a banking service that stores your silver and gold, they have no intention of getting in the market of creating bank notes. Gonna have to explain this to the person later.

Oh yeah just to vent, didn't get the SKS in cod mobile in time cause their last task for it was stupid and it was to kill 5 people in battle royale with a revolver that NEVER drops on the crates. Waste of time, waste of money. Thanks Activision. Tynan please fix call of duty, thanks. /endofrant

Got 5 hours to sleep before big meeting so I'll keep it very short cause I'm also tired. Rangers are getting closer to being done, they're pretty well balanced so unsurprisingly they aren't as powerful as the old RH1 factions, these guys can lose to pirates especially if the pirates have better weapons from other mods. I may have to upgrade the rangers with some more weapons.

There's a bug with jet packs that causes the pawn to be deleted if they fly into the same spot they're standing in, bunch of other fixes needed.

Had to create a new mote based on Royalty DLC's flame jump mote. It was much needed to avoid Royalty dependency due to using the same texture or whatever

New jump pack animation courtesy of Taranchuk. It's using the same animation code royalty has but it is coded to work differently than the one in the DLC, no .dll, art asset has been taken other than the .xml stuff replicated for the animation.

Sounds very experimental, they would probably save more just making us train with actual rifles in a scenario. You can't check your weapon safety or avoid muzzling the guys around you in a video game. Those kinds of drills can only be learned with actual experience because a video game just doesn't have the same weight of danger and consequence

RH canon mod series, in summary:

>Meanwhile in a Midworld highly resembling earth, it is invaded by mechanoids, they nuke their own world a few times to try and win but mechanoids wont stop coming and they wont stop coming

>Most of their people make it to an outer rimworld
>Outer rimworld  attracts the attention of interplanetary businesses and corporations, i.e. VATGROWN Inc., Rimmu-Nation, Rimdeed, Pizza Time, Offworld Bank and Private Military Companies funded by shadow organizations
>Commence wars and fighting over territory, resources or whatever other reason while corporations benefit in the background
>VOID, having prepared for a few hundred years jumping from world to world gathering technology, comes in and decides it'll be a great show of strength to wipe everyone out on their own and start a new glitter world

Oh I hope you guys still find the rangers exciting, it's starting to lose the novelty for me. I don't know what it is, I had this story of them being legendary gunfighters but they keep getting owned by pirates during testing.

Its the result of balancing I guess, even if their armor is super cool it's no Praetor Suit or even Hunter Reactive

Working on more gear for our Rangers. I've decided to arm their elite units with the AR-15 and a few more weapons. My rule will be that the weapons they use must be American made (except for an AMR) AND it must have a wooden stock or pistol grip to keep to the western look

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]

QuoteWe had a meeting today and I was shocked to find out that explosives are found everyday all around Europe and even the UK, but it doesn't always make it in the news. I.E. "Warrington Grenades" currently in the black market, homemade grenades found in police raids of some criminal's house. Scary stuff.

From WWII? Yea. And I don't why, I suppoes that it have something common with use of carpet bombing, and artilery. Or it was the Aliens. Who know. Sorry, I playing Tropico 6 know and this game have so satirical humor that I can resist to use in poor way.

Yeah only when one "bigger" is found at a city and they need to evac. the people around it, it comes at the news.
But don't forget other war zones, afghanistan/vietnam/korea with all these bombs and mines. From that side you hear nothing. But alot kid's lost limbs or even life from them.
Good old times, when soldiers just use sword and bow and not bombs,mines or gas.

(https://i.imgur.com/sYF5pDd.png)

AR-10 with plastic handle and stock (was told it may be bakelite plastic) so I already broke my own rules of wooden stock or handle. GG. Thought it was wood at first and it was too late cause the texture was finished and I liked it. The rangers will need this if they're getting rekt by pirates with vanilla gear.

Decided we're gonna have a new Ranger pawntype. They will have a new duster and they will use this weapon:
(https://i.imgur.com/tAnw0nk.png)

This is a Kilo-Bolt Action Rail Gun, it's from cod mobile. I actually just wanted a railgun but I wanted it to feel like something crafted in a wasteland, and this is the best I could think of cause after all, mobile games are a wasteland  :o

I don't know if I will name it something else or call it by it's name from cod mobile. Unsure. The Rangers using them will be elite units, with olive green looking trench coat that has a hood. If they're gonna use new armor is another matter of it's own I don't wanna think about yet.

(https://i.imgur.com/owqcCfU.png)(https://i.imgur.com/X8Wy2rD.png)

After some consideration and feedback from my good friend Slayer, we agreed the side view looks too much like the HALO Spartan II helmet, AKA Master Chief helmet so I redid the side view of the ranger to closer resemble it's front view. It looks a bit like a dog shaped helmet now. Reminds me of princess Leia's bounty hunter helmet when she was out to rescue Han Solo.

(https://i.imgur.com/Waf20xN.png)

Jump pack UI also redone as a result.

Will have more progress tommorrow. Pardon me guys, very sleepy so I have no comment for your replies at the moment, [EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. Both that and sleep deprivation. Take care Canute and Skynert, MrBriggs, and everyone else. See you when the mod is released, hopefully soon.

High yield of textures tonight folks and fellers, this concludes all the weapons and apparel (save one more headgear, possibly) for the Rangers.

Rangers will have one elite pawntype using the exile trench coat along with the webbing

ROUGH CONCEPT:
(https://i.imgur.com/mQWD2Nv.png)

This concept of what they will look like is not final, obviously I am not happy with the hoodie here (rushed drawing to get concept image out) or if I should even include a hoodie but I want it to look like this. Should we let the trench coat be colorable or just make it green like the concept shows, plus a hoodie?

Let me know what you guys think, am exhausted and need to go to the bathroom so I won't say much else. SEEYA

Hey CP, you're making so much progress it makes my heart melt. Just a suggestion, what about the wooden FN Fal? 👉🏻👈🏻🥺

(https://i.imgur.com/isNjVqp.jpg)
Pawntype uniforms done, may do one last Canvas backpack, just so we have a proper one for carrying heavy stuff.

Had to go to plan B with elite pawntypes, why? cause no matter what I do the webbing renders under the shell layer. I now had to do something else, which was re-create Blondie's poncho from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It resulted in the elite Rangers looking like freakin' Bobba Fett if they were the good guys.

(https://i.imgur.com/rO9auct.jpg)

Rangers have working shield belts built in the now renamed "Ranger armor", allows high rate of survivability in gunfights. Ranger armor has about the same protection rating as the industrial body armour we've been making, not power armor strength, so once your shield is gone you should not be blinded by hubris in thinking you're John Wayne and that your enemy won't even clear leather

(https://i.imgur.com/BRiMz9c.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/cyQe4a1.jpg)

Back view of Ranger trench coat had to be slightly elevated due to the lack of space for the 512x512 canvas, so it looks a bit fluffy near the head, which I'm sure most of you won't mind.

I have coded all the weapons now, but they aren't balanced and are more or less copy and pasted versions of something else. Still needs work but now I have Monday and other things to do, progress with Rangers are now on hold.

What needs to be done:
PGM Helcate II AMR
Big canvas bag
Weapon balancing
Polishing of faction settlement names
Trading stock generation
Pawntype generation
etc.

Note to self: KBA Railgun looks so dang realistic but the stuff was all drawn over in Photoshop vector style, you guys are a witness to that. May have to reduce detail. It's a good problem to have compared to looking below standard I suppose

Hey Neptune, I'm actually holding out on the FN FAL for another faction, probably the MSF or the Black Ops faction. Either way it'll be created, just not for the Wasteland Rangers.

I've made sure all the weapons I've done for these Rangers will not show up for another faction, the whole idea is they have this style of using ancient reproduced gear because they live in the outer rimworld, unlike the other ones who come from the outside, with more modern gucci ally stuff. FN FAL, I really wanted to save these iconic ones as well as the M16 and AK rifles for the other RH2 factions coming along later. What we got for Rangers are mostly stuff we haven't seen in my mods before, which kinda cements them being unique and having their own identity *cough*NCR*cough*

Oh yeah, I've decided on the name folks.

They're Wasteland Rangers.  8)

Last but not least, gave in to Neptune's ransom demands, T48 US made version of the FAL. I wanted elite pawns to have a new rifle, considered going with some tacticool looking AR-15 even but then I found that the US made their own FAL and I thought oh yeah. Why not?

Did the Hecate and to end everything off, one last revolver, another Clint Eastwood homage in the mod.

Decided in the end to call them "Rangers" or "The Rangers" and to dump the "Wasteland" or "Desert" in the beginning, there's no need.

Wanted to do some Ranger posters, kind of stuff they'd have on their walls but this one I feel it doesn't work, need to improve it. It was done in Far Cry 5 style, like the wallpaper below but to me I feel if it's a wallpaper it should be like the two above.

(https://i.imgur.com/K8frS8s.png)

Here's the preview I decided to settle in on with a desktop wallpaper below, did it in that big size initially.

Description of wallpaper:
"The image depicts Ranger "Betty" Lester overlooking her journey ahead with rations running low as her trusty sidekick Chip asks for scratches. Despite marching on an empty stomach with danger lurking around the corner, hope comes from the little things near her heart."

Anti-drug ranger poster

It's safe to say that thanks to the recent gear being developed and all the posters contributing to world building of the faction, they're no longer the small time vigilantes I originally planned the rangers to be. They've become a greater military force than they were as part of the Wasteland Republic, though not big enough to form their own government or be considered an army. Rangers in the Wasteland Republic were the guys just above infantry sent to bail out the Sentinels.

Sentinels were the cool top dogs in full power armour and charge weapons, with the republic's funding fully invested in their development. Rangers specialized in drop pod insertions, making them airborne and their main objectives were usually to rescue sentinels or provide a distraction while they escaped. No reinforcements would come for the rangers and were left on their own. After the extinction of sentinels, funding later went over to rangers with their initial name being "Sentinel Rangers", who were given a type of armour similar to the ranger armour you see now. They were lighter in weight, lesser in protection but still afforded the rangers some speed. Rather than the old bolt actions, rangers were finally given automatic weapons such as assault rifles and anti-materiel equipment.

This was a short lived upgrade since these changes came about as a desperate move for the republic to defeat an onslaught of mechanoid hive invasions that eventually wore down the republic in terms of resources and manpower over a period of time.

AUGUR Canvas Daypack

Been working to nerf the rangers.

Ranger armour shield belts, I don't want them to be 100/100 because during raids when outnumbered they're a tad too strong. I still want that element of underdog, make them feel like they are a part of vanilla factions.

Person who helps me code bullets is out of contact, I need to do .30-06 balancing, a brand new bullet type for Springfield Rifle and M1 Garand. Glad I haven't released the mod yet because you guys will end up losing crap here and there.

I've decided to remove the exile trench coat because I didn't like how it's turned out with the collar being too large for back view and helmets annoyingly rendering above it. I have also decided that I want to remove the balaclavas for Rimmu-Nation Clothing. I want the mod to only have the following pieces of item:
- Helmet
- Body armour
- Backpacks
- Webbing

I understand people want the mod to be like how it worked for 1.0/1.1 but as it stands the irritating hardcoded system for tribals to use these balaclavas and jackets and other warm tactical clothing is driving some audience away from the steam versions and the endless supply of complaints after several years of making the mod gets tiring to have to re-explain. I've had two coders try to fix this for me before, Jecrell and another person whom I forgot the name of but to no avail.

I wish Vanilla didn't make things so bloody hard to mod with things being hardcoded that doesn't need to be, but here we are.

I'll get on down to work my friends. Looking into commissioning a band at fiverr to do a Big Iron cover for this mod, thought it'd be nice for Steam release but I think maybe it'd be wiser to save the money for other things or even coding another mod? I'd be open to suggestions. Cheers all.

Thanks Skynert! That's what I was going for, but if I did have the ability to do proper detailed art I'd have gone for that. These vector styles were the next best thing

Decided to create UI for some concept idea I just wrote on a scrap paper (virtual paper) in notepad++

QuoteRangers

- Enlist Option
"Join" Rangers, other options will appear
Must be at least +0 with Rangers, Falling at -10 relations will result in player being kicked out

Upon being enlisted, everytime a Ranger base is visited the following options are open:

- Salary claim
Every 7 days claim $750 salary, given straight to inventory (Can only be claimed once every 7 days)

- Daily claim
x10 Ranger rations, x4 muffaberg root beer, x2 industrial medicine given straight to inventory every 24 hours (Can be claimed for each base)

- Start a Quest:
Pay $150 to begin a selection of quests popping up in UI

- Turn in outlaws
No sold to slavery debuff upon turning in pawns in this jail trade screen

- Ranger storage
Storage screen/inventory screen on base where players can dump inventory items. UI Screen will appear for every ranger base. Unlimited storage.

- Leave Enlistment
Decide to leave the rangers at cost of -25 relations


- Upon joining, Rangers can be called for reinforcements every 24 hours. Ticket of how much rangers arriving will scale on faction relations. Arrival mode will be drop pod on edge.

-9 - 25 = 500 raid ticket
26 - 49 = 1000-1500 friendly raid ticket
50 - 74 = 2000-3000 friendly raid ticket
75 - 100 = 4000-5000 friendly raid ticket

NOTE: Most of these are mental self notes, probably most of them will not come to fruition or just scrapped altogether. Without further ado here's some UI art.

These will appear as you approach and visit a ranger base. I am torn between making this a standalone mod or a faction specific action. What do you guys think?

Here it is.

UI Artwork:

(https://i.imgur.com/euVqBXI.png)

Enlist

Icon is available if you are on a neutral standing with the Rangers. Upon clicking this icon other options will appear and you will become an official part of their factions with benefits provided to you.

Dropping below a certain relations threshold will automatically cause you to be kicked out of their service.

These are concepts, I haven't requested for them to be coded yet so these aren't guaranteed features.

(https://i.imgur.com/Bp6laf4.png)

Start a mission
- Option appears after enlisting
- Allows you to pay $150 to begin a select type of quest on a UI screen that pops up

(https://i.imgur.com/8cVAnzu.png)
Collect salary
- Option appears after enlisting
- Allows you to collect $700 per 7 days from the Rangers
- Can only be collected once per 7 days

(https://i.imgur.com/Yva46s0.png)
Collect provisions
- Option appears after enlisting
- Allows you to collect: x5 Ranger Rations, x2 Muffaberg root beer and x3 industrial medicine per day.
- Refreshes every 1 day, can be collected from each Ranger outpost

(https://i.imgur.com/c5QY3uR.png)
Personal storage
- Option appears after enlisting
- Allows you to store your personal belongings in the faction's inventory, which you can collect from any of their base
- Unlimited space

(https://i.imgur.com/3Q4RGUw.png)
Casualty training
- Option appears after enlisting
- Clicking this option will enable your caravan pawns to gain:
+2,000 medicine skill EXP per hour
+2,000 social skill EXP per hour
- Cannot be selected with other training options
- Interrupted by caravan moving or performing other actions (i.e. clicking other icons)
- Caravans with pawns resting/sleeping will cease to earn training experience until they wake up from rest

(https://i.imgur.com/alKvhiE.png)
Combat training
- Option appears after enlisting
- Clicking this option will enable your caravan pawns to gain:
+2,000 shooting skill EXP per hour
+2,000 melee skill EXP per hour
- Cannot be selected with other training options
- Interrupted by caravan moving or performing other actions (i.e. clicking other icons)
- Caravans with pawns resting/sleeping will cease to earn training experience until they wake up from rest

(https://i.imgur.com/9n8NMWM.png)
Resign from service
- Option appears after enlisting
- Clicking this option will allow you to leave the faction, all benefits will be withdrawn and options removed
- -25 relations when selected (may be subject to tweaks i.e. less relations loss)
- Are you sure? screen to possibly prevent accidental click


Enlisting will allow you to change your playstyle, pretty much a wanderer or a permanent caravan, like a homeless ranger that goes from outpost to outpost living with your faction base, they provide the daily provisions and training but you'll never have a sense of permanence like staying in your own home.

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. If you have comments about this planned feature please give it, it can either be Rangers exclusive or we can potentially allow you to join any faction if this was standalone.

Also the thing with training stuff, wanted to do more options but it needs some balancing on how much exp per hour we can do. It will potentially be exploited with pawns left in bases for ages (which is how training is supposed to be) but it can't be that someone walks out as John Wick after 10 days. I gotta get this in order later.

QuoteAnti-drug ranger poster

I sell them elsewhere then ;p

Enlisting is good idea, should be oart of base mod. I know that is a concept but, it's like dlc with new cool thing to do. Like... having a colony and have 5 commando type pawns who roam Rim and do stuff becouse they have reason to leave colony now.

Some weapons I find too detailed or "off" are being slightly reworked.

(https://i.imgur.com/uGoEf1L.png)

Hey all, I'm going out on a run.

I'm reflecting on how far we should take going to vanilla style with Red Horse 2.

I'll be honest with you guys, I wanna hit it more mainstream. I want for the mods to have a wider target audience, and this means the crowd who likes vanilla style and balancing. I wanna reach them now that all the textures are original. Why? Because it may mean more donations on ko-fi (I've spent hundreds on these mods, reaching about a thousand now, wanting to earn something isn't necessarily bad), that and reliving the old glory days when I first started modding, only this time to finalize the mod series in a saga that won't need to be remade or remastered ever again. Then I can go finish modding one day when everything is done, on a setting sun and finally play rimworld because all I do is test mods.

(https://i.imgur.com/r8yuJs1.png)

Should we rework Rimmu-Nation 2 to have weaker weapons modelled after VE Expanded weapons? (With Oskar's permission, the man himself)

Weaker Rimmu-Nation 2 means weaker factions. That means VOID won't be as powerful, and etc. etc.

Should we have weapon sounds that aren't so bombastic? Maybe just cut down the variety of sounds and keep it small?
Should we just use vanilla weapon sounds?

Should we stop using real weapon names? Not everyone appreciates using COLT, FN Herstal, 5.11 in a world where those companies may not necessarily exist (no matter how hard Red Horse 2 tries to explain the lore of these things) It means all clothing will be affected by these changes also.

What are your thoughts? Please give em because if I make up my mind, I'd appreciate hearing yours out before things are made final. Things will be final when these mods release on steam, right now we have time to change anything.

Thanks Skynert! I made a decision on it, I think it can be a standalone mod so it can reach a wider target audience. It still makes sense for rangers but if it was available for everyone to play with and pick and choose, it'd have more attention to the feature than if it was in a faction mod that not everyone may want to use. That was my thought on that.

I'd probably ban neolithic and spacer factions from using it but have a mod settings to perhaps allow it/disallow for players

Dont ban neolithic, 90% of my playthroughs start as tribes and live as less primitive tribes with guns ;p

Rimmu-Nation² Clothing updated, download link available in front page

Been going so hard on the rangers and other mods in development, that you guys haven't had anything new. I'm throwing everyone a bone by finishing some old works in progress and have released an update of some new items for Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing. Thanks for voting in the polls, this brought to my attention people would like some new gear.

FAST Pack
Same carrying capacity as RUSH 24, which is so far the daysack that can carry the most in current mod series.

Note: Speaking of backpacks, all of the coding has been tweaked to better fit on west and east view so they don't look off.

I haven't slept much so I'll keep it short and sweet, yes, it's all modular. Yes, you can wear the backpack with the webbing with the body armour.

You could wear the gasmask with a ski mask so you can dress like you're cold war era SAS or something, but no, unfortunately, no helmets with the gasmask due to them rendering above the helmets (or under chinstraps) so I decided to make them not modular with each other.

Dont ban neolithic, 90% of my playthroughs start as tribes and live as less primitive tribes with guns ;p

No I mean that neolithic tribes, you can't enlist and do crazy industrial stuff with them. I'll talk more about those later I gotta go bed, hope you guys enjoy the new content for RN2: Clothing  8) 8)

EDIT:

Quickly updated oversized M56 webbing display on the floor, if you have issues with that then please just redownload. Cheers

Edit 2:

Hey all I screwed up. I accidentally added the M56 Webbing for the Rangers and added the Ranger Webbing to Rimmu-Nation 2. That's an epic oof, apologies due to lack of brain function at the time.

It's now fixed, you may get errors and lose the ranger webbings but seeing as they were probably pink squares for you it doesn't matter. Cheers all

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. Caught me off guard cause I was supposed to be off till Sept, due to COVID calming down they made some moves to get my butt ahead on the thing.

Anyway about Rangers.

Was highly unsatisfied with something, so I thought.. I got it. Let's redo the thing and do it properly in vanilla style. No set colours, no re-used recon armor with an added bandolier. Let's go all the way, make the thing recolorable and original.

Here's what we got:

Possible outcome:
(https://i.imgur.com/Vb4fXt3.jpg)

Will probably do the bandolier as a separate webbing layer. Hope it turns out good, but it's flippin time consuming and my days are numbered now. Cheers all.

OP Delivers again bois, the textures are done, rangers now looking so vanilla mate. Flip.

Ran into an initial issue figuring out how masking works but it was just a matter of using the right stuff in .xml already available. I earned my sleep, you guys can have screenshots of the new stuff.

Need a ranger motto now lads, they're really getting fleshed out.
"Glory for the republic!" or "Rangers are super cool!" or "I'm Batman."

Current plans:
- Redo Rimmu-Nation 2 weapon sounds, declutter unused or old game sounds to new more modern game SFX
- Bandolier webbing item
- Move back view of ranger helmet exhaust a bit more to the center
- Write order for Taranchuk for the quest system
- Balance Ranger weapons so I can release beta version here

"We like pancakes!" Or... I dont know, Im not good at marketing. O! Semper Fidelis Ad Mortem? Always loyal, until death.

Hello Chicken Plucker, just wanted to say that I really enjoy using your mods. Don't think I've played a run without running at least 6 of your mods. Keep up the good work! Also, a possible motto for the rangers could be "In the Face of Death, we Prevail."

Like that last armor design. Doesn't feel "blurry" for me anymore.

RIMDEED UPDATED, FRONT PAGE YADDA YADDA YOU KNOW THE DRILL:

- Ban timer reduced from 30 days per applicant to 10 if they die within protection period
- Option to reset ban in mod settings added

Sorry for yellin at you fellers, I'm freakin exhausted and there's only two chickens to roast left in the fridge. I should go home frick.

Anyway lads, I've hatched a diabolical plan to possibly appear in Tynan Sylvester's radar and maybe find employment in the Ludeon team if senpai notices. Canute brought to my attention an old Twitter post of him seeking people who can do storyteller art with backgrounds and this and yadda yadda with hero poses. Here we are with a vanilla style faction coming complete with artwork, freakin uhhh.. Ahh.. Oh yeah. Major features like the quests and stuff, so it's not just another faction mod.

What next in the page?

Welp. A storyteller. (Work in progress image below)

(https://i.imgur.com/Zrgg0M6.png)


It's Ranger Betty. Unsure if I should make her another hardcore storyteller or just make her casual. Betty believes herself to be cursed due to all of her loved ones having a track record of dying horrible deaths, in the hands of either cold blooded killers or unfeeling, unemotional machines. It seems anywhere she sticks around for too long, she attracts danger and trouble. She's gone around looking for it, establishing the rangers only to step down as chief when it began to gain traction. She left on the grounds of suffering extreme PTSD, diagnosed with depression and having suicidal tendencies. (Yeah, willing to go there.) This therefore lead to her being labelled as unfit to serve with the Rangers officially, for the sake of not tarnishing the image that's been portrayed of her to inspire many, and secretly because she believes she is cursed and will cause the death of her allies, just like how she has lost her family and her entire republic.

She's gone to live a life of isolation by choice, cleaning towns of outlaws in an attempt to go out fighting, doing what's right and to punish herself for highly traumatic events that she blames herself for, with all others around her never getting to know, due to their unrealistic heroic views and expectations of this ranger blowing smoke in the reality that is a broken human being with a revolver and a grudge.

---

I understand I wanted a story with Rangers full of hope and heroism, but I want to be very realistic and I want a character where if you strip them of their gender, their armor, their skills and weapons you see underneath a human being just like everyone else that is capable of flaws and feeling pain and suffering, yet rising above it all, finding a greater purpose in staying alive to fight everything pushing against them despite of the demons they face. Maybe one day that person will find what they need by looking around, and find that long awaited victory by realizing that they cannot be their own saviour. That they need help.

Have some friends suffering with PTSD. They don't like to talk. It just gave me some mood and I felt that a Mary Sue character like Betty at the time could use some human attributes, and if she did see all of her friends die at such a young age, then she would very much not come out as the hero she's made out to be when nobody else is looking. I hope if anyone out there is suffering that kind of fate, that they keep on fighting and keep on praying and that a few people like me will pray with them even if it's not visible or even if they don't believe in that stuff. I can only hope one day, it causes something amazing to happen, and that it'll surprise us both.

I'm off to bed, more writing and worldbuildy and art later. Me tired.

Me too Briggs! I am happy with the decision, was worth the hours spent doing.

Could even color code them now if I wanted, I'm color coding the elites and boss units but probably letting the normal rangers wear whatever color they want for variety

Vestguard quick release body armour.

Before I get to doing the iconic Flyye, Crye JPC and other US military stuff, I wanna do some other companies who make body armor as a good practice to get them right.

The work with the rangers have really helped me get into doing the shapes of "strappy" gear. With this newfound way of doing things, I've decided I want to redo the Osprey body armour because that version just doesn't sit right by me.

I've got some content releases planned for Rimmu-Nation² Clothing.

Below is what you will see when clicking the "Missions" UI gizmo upon visiting Ranger bases
(https://i.imgur.com/yOC3chJ.png)

(All images are concept for the coder's visual aid)

(https://i.imgur.com/XpMoows.jpg)

So you get your caravan over to a Ranger base upon enlisting and see the following options. More details in the link below fully explained.

Rangers are awaiting coding from Taranchuk, here is the full Google Doc of the features instructed to him if you are interested in reading about it:
(https://i.imgur.com/1QRAdk6.png)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dG_kQ88awjzqbKniV55nZpHXWLK8AvXlgbASGzd06Wk/edit (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dG_kQ88awjzqbKniV55nZpHXWLK8AvXlgbASGzd06Wk/edit)

While this screen is open I want an ambience song to play, probably gonna grab a royalty free noir jazz ambience or something cool so you really feel like an officer having to deal with all kinds of paperwork and pirate junkies attacking people 8) 8)

Also waiting to be done:
- "Big Iron" band commission of the Johnny Cash version, they are a band from Fiverr who I will talk more about later when the song is out. Female vocals, they have a proper studio and all that cool stuff
- Me to finish storyteller art. Got back home to get some new kit, including a graphics tablet. Yeah the lines are rough for Betty Lester (who is obviously based on Lara Croft remake's face) and I got my trusty old Bamboo pen tablet back. It's a discontinued old model I began modding with from A17, a whopping 4 years ago, so it's like the whole crew is back.

(https://i.imgur.com/OhiKTqZ.png)
"Mr. Shorty" Charge Carbine
Sketchfab model by TheMiniFrench, I took it and recolored it and interpreted over in RW style. I felt the Rangers were constantly outmatched by mechanoids and they needed at least another spacer weapon. Why not add a wooden stock? Kept to the wasteland feel.

(https://i.imgur.com/P4ykQST.png)

Projectile art

(https://i.imgur.com/JzVvRPy.jpg)

Also did some SFX work, think I'll rework all RH2 sounds with better volumes and removing some older and overused video game SFX coming from games like COD4, CSGO and etc. Reasons why is because I don't like the sounds to be too distracting that makes you think "Oh yeah that's from COD4" or be too red level freakin' loud like some of the sounds already are. The sound effects of RH1 are in the hundreds, can't be bothered dealing with that noise so I'm starting over instead. Pun not intended.

Yeah I took Timesplitters 3 Sci-Fi weapon SFX mixed with rimworld charge SFX to make it sound cool and new  8)

Grew up with those series, didn't have a lot of other kids to play with save my cousins so countless hours were spent playing virus in Training Grounds with AI.

(UI art for reinforcements feature, all in the google doc)

That's all for now folks. Time is short, aiming to get at least 3 new armors done before next week where I have to work on work stuff.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing updated:

Changes and new body armour:

Osprey Mk 3 body armour:

Before:

After:
(https://i.imgur.com/59Aj5QR.png)(https://i.imgur.com/cO2HfSf.png)(https://i.imgur.com/8FTqU29.png)

Was surprised by the significant increase in quality. I have some of the work spent doing Ranger textures to thank for that. Decided I'm also redoing the TactTec and Ghost Patriot just because. Who knows. Would you guys prefer new body armour or these getting reworked? Let me know in the comments please.

If you prefer me saving my time in correcting what you possibly feel is a body armour texture that already looks good to do something newer, you tell me now before I go off possibly wasting time. I'd be happy to make considerations.

Vestguard "Quick-Release XTreme"
(https://i.imgur.com/Q5UVMJh.png)(https://i.imgur.com/HZ6GIvP.png)(https://i.imgur.com/5Jojhsc.png)

Decided to just call it "QRX" for short. Vestguard who is a pretty reliable company I HAVE bought an armor from before (dumped uni grant money, I'll tell you that.) doesn't really name their stuff ally and cool names like the US companies do.

I purchased a level III soft body armour (not this one you see, was a covert one with no molle), they sent me an incorrect stab vest and after messaging the seller they sent me the correct body armour for free, letting me keep the stab vest. I flippin' love em so I hope their armour design makes you lot happy also.

Rangers progress:
(https://i.imgur.com/HU5Si4C.png)

Taranchuk worked on missions today, the thing is coming together nicely. Took him a long time just on this one alone.

(https://i.imgur.com/JCJeCD5.png)

He solved an issue where the drop down quests results in too much missions, going beyond what the player can see. He's now adding a system where instead of seeing the defnames of missions, you will see pre-generated quest titles.

That's all for now folks, see ya later. I gotta run literally today. Wanna do more Rimmu-Nation 2 work after.

Flyye FCPC (Field Compact Plate Carrier)

So I wanted to surprise everyone and start working on Task Force 141 and chose a Flyye plate carrier that wasn't the JPC. Problem is I changed my mind cause 141 uses Tan or Coyote brown plate carriers, you guys can have it instead.

(https://i.imgur.com/psWCVpJ.jpg)

Still haven't run, should have run already, did this instead. I'll go now guys, see you later with another update.

Hey I made a boo boo. THIS is the real Quick Release Xtreme, turns out the one I posted above was the Quick Release Advanced, therefore you guys have another generic looking but EPIC black armor. I really didn't wanna do this armor cause of the accessories making things harder but here we are and it looks good and adds more variety. I want a few more generic ones, i.e. blue press armor and crap so we can have pirates with the kit.

I'm spoiling you with these body armours because I really wanna get a healthy amount of gear out for this mod so I can release soon. That and it's a good filler till Rangers are ready.

(https://i.imgur.com/FftSl3L.png)(https://i.imgur.com/QaKhysC.png)

I want:
10 helmets
10 armors
10 backpacks
Maybe 4 carrier rigs or less. Dunno.

Some onskins
No jackets. (To stop tribal parka bug)

Brand spankers new preview for the mod, in style of 5.11 web page advertisements. I need to do more 5.11 gear for that company, they're just too tacticool

MICH Helmet (141) work in progress

Intended to be masked to be colorable, will do balaclavas and goggles for 141 intended to be modular for the faction that can be worn with these helmets. Unfortunately the desired colours will only come out for the faction, not the player. Players will possibly have to deal with stuffables being a pain in the buttocks, unless I could find a way to make it work in code. We could only hope.

(https://i.imgur.com/KvV4oCf.jpg)

PELTOR ComTac art, for now intended to go under the 141 MICH helmet. These are the headsets that come with microphones.

(https://i.imgur.com/SpzYAZz.jpg)

Fleece combats (141)

The Task Force 141 uniform. Decided to stick with the outfits to avoid dramas. This will be colorable, no need for multiple variants, we can do what we did for the Ranger armor and it'll be random generated with the helmet. Or so the intention goes.

These are finished and masked already, with the DCU and zips staying one color.

Accessories:

(https://i.imgur.com/oXL8HoV.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Gi6pvJ3.png)(https://i.imgur.com/vENd7Dh.png)

The rat packs. Classic MREs, always been a staple in my mod series but this time it's 512x512 with original texture art.

(https://i.imgur.com/uKvWfhM.png)(https://i.imgur.com/CQhKImt.png)(https://i.imgur.com/r0CqdZg.png)

Solar Flare cigarettes. Parody of the Lucky Strike ciggies used in Vietnam War and such other state sponsored freedom giveaways by the US Military. For the boys and gals who smoke that want to alleviate the stress of being in a combat zone that isn't even in your planet. I mean come on lads, how can a military mod be complete without a smoker outrunning a non-smoker?

Special thanks to Jecrell, got to use his old cigarette art stuff as base for my own. Will also use his drug coding to make life so easy.

That's all for Task Force 141.

Planned apparel:
Crye AVS body armour
Flyye X-Harness
Flyye MBSS Hydration Pack

Planned weapons:
M4A1 (Task Force)

Potentially if I code things right, we can have all of these in Rimmu-Nation² and make it so that if certain mods with duplicate items are detected, the game won't load them and there'd be zero dramas. Which means, as I do new factions, Rimmu-Nation outfit and weapons list grows for people who just want that stuff also while I hit two birds with one stone proverbially. I don't want to harm birds for no good reason.

Progress on The Rangers:

(https://i.imgur.com/Pec1Stk.png)
Betty Lester visiting the grave of her old friend "Princess" who perished during the final Mechanoid attack that destroyed the Wasteland Republic's capital city.

So back to the bleaker side of Red Horse. I've been working on an animatic for Betty Lester and her back story with her deceased friend Princess. It was a nickname given to her as a result of her wealthy background. She was a fellow ranger, was a girl born into a wealthy family that was given a huge bedroom for herself during her time in basic training thanks to her parents bribing the right people. She was a mellow and innocent spoiled young woman who had no idea what was going on around her, but always did her best to smile and make others around her happy.

Betty and Princess became best friends, always together on guard duty and transitioned to the Ranger battalion of the Wasteland Republic at the age of 17. There they became more hardened to combat and were part of the teams that bailed out Sentinels (Power armored special units of the W.R.) out of trouble despite being under equipped canon fodder.

Just wanted to hammer home Betty's backstory but I'd like to hear your thoughts on all of this. Too sad5me?

Okay enough about the debbie downer backstory of the tragic hero.

Progress on the mod:

(https://i.imgur.com/ylbaQCq.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/xwrIuZB.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/5AW4sOq.png)

Missions UI is done. It generates quests around your caravan, you get to choose rewards and the rewards are sent to the faction storage. This is all a countermeasure for players who decide not to use settlements thanks to this mod's new system, was a simplified solution than possibly dealing with errors cause you abandoned your main settlement.

Special thanks to Oskar from the Vanilla Expanded series cause he allowed Taranchuk to use some code from his upcoming Rim Effect mod to help fix this thing's coding without much drama and added cost for me! Will credit him later on release

(https://i.imgur.com/j1dT4Y0.png)

Salary and provisions are done.

Salary has been fixed by Taranchuk to work in a way that if you miss redeeming a payment in 7 days, it can add up. I also learned he allowed everything to be editable in .xml for me.

(https://i.imgur.com/4YuIxT3.png)

Taranchuk is doing Faction storage system now, hopefully won't take him as long as missions gizmo but he tells me there's gonna be a lot of work. My commission cost to Taranchuk has now jumped to 20 hours (from 10 hours, due to other Rimdeed related work) which means I now owe him $200 and counting for the new features.

Ouch. Glad it's payday soon but let's be honest, could be saving money for better things than RimWorld amirite?

(https://i.imgur.com/rDP2IeV.jpg)

Progress on Big Iron band cover:
They tell me it'll be ready by today, the band is famous in Albania and their lead singer is a female vocal who was a finalist in the Voice over there. Pretty cool, waiting to see what happens then I'll fully divulge their details and link their channel and etc.

They're awesome, realistically could be charging more for what they do with the mixing and the team effort they do but they aren't. Grateful for this opportunity and I hope their final product make you guys happy.

---

That's it for me. I'm tired. I want so much done before this weekend cause I have a zoom lesson to create and deliver by next week. All progress will halt when I get to that, then I'm shipped to a new training establishment and everything halts until I get into the routine there. I'm hoping it's not too hard like phase 1 and 2 where there is zero time for myself but we shall see.

Task Force 141 progress:

(https://i.imgur.com/Zj4ue74.jpg)

Major progress, most headgear done.

Headgear need doing:
Baseball cap - Will probably do a simple patch cap from some company that's el cheapo. Keep big brands on Rimmu-Nation² for the players.
Boonie hat - Standard, a blank masked version and DCU version? will be colorable.
Ghost balaclava - Standard, masked so the ski mask can be colored while the skeleton printing stays one colour i.e. white.
Comtac headset - Will go over headgear such as Ghost balaclava
Shooting glasses - Has to be colorable, will also go over headgear like the way goggles do
Shemagh - Another el cheapo brand shemagh that can go over most headgear for added variety

Planned apparel:
Flyye X Belt (141) - webbing containing ammo pouches and utility pouches. May be one tan colour or colorable.
Fleece 141 (Multicam) - May do other camo variants of the fleece, so far I've decided against it. Would like to hear thoughts your opinions if anyone's actually reading these if they want other options for camo or if they're happy with DCU.

Weapons:
FN Minimi (7.62 Mk. 3) - Their designated GPMG.
G28 - My chosen marksman rifle for this new remake
M200 Intervention - Had to be done.
Knife - May do the throwing knife but it won't be a throwing knife function.

Again, trying to minimise on weapons for less work and obviously trying to make unique choices that won't have to be repeated to avoid duplicates unless I figure out a new way to make this work without duplication.

MICH Helmet 141
Comes with ComTacs and a patch. May release a version for Rimmu-Nation 2 with one colour added, no ComTacs or patch to differentiate the two

(https://i.imgur.com/XCYdRcI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/iXO3xkn.png)
Oakley Si Ballistic Goggles
Did no straps, intended to be worn over everything and intended to work also with no other headgear worn. Fingers crossed.

(https://i.imgur.com/jHWn4O3.png)(https://i.imgur.com/AjbvzpS.png)(https://i.imgur.com/VLPdLdG.png)
Helikon Balaclava
El Cheapo brand balaclava that's colorable for 141 pawnkinds. Trying to carefully pick and choose equipment I won't use again if it can be helped to stop duplicates as much as possible.

(https://i.imgur.com/zaPqz3q.png)(https://i.imgur.com/52rEzsv.png)(https://i.imgur.com/esUDcGj.png)
Flyye Gen 2 body armour
Not-so el cheapo brand of plate carrier. Colorable. I intend for it to range between dark grey, black, tan, brown etc. etc. I'm hoping it can be preset to one kind of colour when crafted with cloth but we shall see. May release a different version in Rimmu-Nation 2 but it has to look much more unique to justify the new version.

(https://i.imgur.com/iPJ8aBo.png)
M4A1 (Task Force)
One variant of M4 returns. Classic Modern Warfare 2 skin.

(https://i.imgur.com/8Irwtyq.png)(https://i.imgur.com/07S3c7D.png)(https://i.imgur.com/QUvWMWC.png)
rip off - Energy drink
Name says it all. It is based on the popular rip it brand of drinks. I really wanted this new series to have good worldbuilding, so having midworld forces with midworld nick nacks are gonna differentiate them a lot from the other factions.

Rangers progress:
(https://i.imgur.com/zTf6Igb.png)

Taranchuk is working on the storage system. Trying to simplify it so that you can move things to and from your caravan with the buttons on the side where the Xs are. That's all I have from him so far.

No news on the Big Iron cover, didn't come out today.

---

That's all folks. Real life is knocking at my door, [EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec], I have to get things done for next week so progress will slow down significantly for myself.

I know I get lots of help from commissioning others but progress can't move forward when I'm not doing the finishing touches and releasing the mod so that sucks. I want the stuff out as much as anyone but unfortunately real life comes first. See ya fellas

Quotenah I'll stay away from US Marine mottos

Did not know that is their motto. Now I dislike it. I will check your work later. Life... I try to Make My YT Channel Great Again sooo... dont have time for WarCrim... Rimworld ;/

Went to do a new helmet, this one was a nightmare to do but ultimately rewarding.

MICH 2002 (CAG version)
(https://i.imgur.com/x4mhCgk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/sdoaIOm.png)(https://i.imgur.com/o6Y1kED.png)

MICH 2002 of the CAG (Combat Applications Group) configuration used by Delta back in the day, classic mount which I forget the name of before rails became standard. It's available for you guys now, it looks very different from what 141 uses in terms of patches and obviously the colour.

3M™ F70
(https://i.imgur.com/CDNniOc.png)(https://i.imgur.com/An1iFUd.png)(https://i.imgur.com/8STMnAr.png)
One of the best versions of FAST ACH/MICH** helmets out there. You can tell it looks so slick in design like EXFIL and FLUX, the thing would take away 10% of your mortgage if you had one.

Was a nightmare to do due to the lack of reference images, therefore it's using side and back rails of other helmets designed to mimic the F70, along with Team Wendy's CamFit straps cause I got no bloody clue how the F70 straps look from the rear and side.

I had one reference image and it wasn't even facing the front view in RimWorld style. No side view, no back view. I had to guess and use a pre made high cut shape. I took shapes of the rail from other helmets and etc. It turned out well, I think it rivals the EXFIL in terms of my favourites in the mod so far. I'm starting to feel bad for the FAST helmet cause when it finally comes it may look too generic.

(https://i.imgur.com/fbPdOH8.png)
Redid FLUX helmet's straps and side view strap to look less off. The original had a clip but from a distance it just seems I made an uneven chinstrap.

In-game pics:

(https://i.imgur.com/Xx62Jpe.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/ZzZA4me.jpg)
BTW I changed the display of all helmets to just use their south view. It's laziness on my part because doing the bloody display of the whole helmet takes so much time and I cannot be arsed right now. I wanna do more plate carriers, helmets and backpacks and honestly the display takes me away from that and I thought you lot wouldn't mind anyway.

Taranchuk finished storage screen. Had no time to implement drag and drop feature, you guys are gonna have to be subjected to his button system, oh the pain of pressing buttons.

It's simple but it works. He's off to do the other features now.

Quotenah I'll stay away from US Marine mottos

Did not know that is their motto. Now I dislike it. I will check your work later. Life... I try to Make My YT Channel Great Again sooo... dont have time for WarCrim... Rimworld ;/

Haha! Come on Skynert that's not very semper fidelis of you mate.

And I'm not done yet, I wanna squeeze out some time in Saturday to get gucci bit of kit out for Rimmu-Nation.

NOTICE: The next update for this mod will cause an error, please ignore. If it causes issues with your save, revert to last update and report this to me please. I may give you a unique copy of the mod just to help you protect your save.

This is because of me renaming the MICH 2000 helmet, turns out it's not a MICH 2002 and me being upset that I was incorrect decided to change it now before we make more changes.

- Gear naming system changed. Item names now feature their name first before their type of equipment
- New pieces of gear added
- Pirates can now spawn with all the gear in this mod, rarity system added depending on what kind of pirate
- MICH 2002 changed to MICH 2000 due to incorrect naming, including defname

I want to do more generic body armours, helmets and backpacks later so we can have a huge variety of equipment. I want it to make sense that pirates can spawn with this kit.

Ladies and Germans, who remembers the Dragon Skin body armour by Pinnacle armour? Pepperidge Farm does.
It's now a part of Rimmu-Nation as a heavy vest, whopping -0.25 move speed and almost double the weight of Osprey body armour.

The payoff is that this armor, unlike the others, provide 20% more protection with sharp and 10% more in blunt (if I gave it 10% more for blunt that is). As an inside joke, it's got a 10% weaker heat protection due to the fact that the downfall of these Dragon Skin body armour series is that it fell apart in the hot desert sun of Iraq and Afghanistan for the operators who ordered them and preferred them over whatever was issued.

Flyye got the contract to produce the OTV for the military cancel that, Interceptor body armour produced by Point Blank hit military specification requirements while Dragon Skin did not.

MICH TC-2000
A replica of the one worn by SEALs in the American Sniper film. In-game it's just referred to as "MICH TC-2000"

Decided to do the entire set of gear Chris Kyle wore in the movie, after visiting this site:
https://atrg.blog/2019/03/15/anatomy-of-chris-kyles-loadout-american-sniper-movie/

This tasked me with doing the following gear:
MICH TC-2000 version of the one in the film
PACA Soft body armour
Rhodesian Recon Vest (RRV Chest Rig)

However I read Chris Kyle actually used the Dragon Skin irl, so I went off to do the Dragon Skin first over PACA soft body armour since from what I recall, nobody has done it for RimWorld yet and also, it hit me with nostalgia since as a kid I thought that body armour was freakin' cool after hearing about it in some documentary.

(https://i.imgur.com/L8YNi8Z.png)(https://i.imgur.com/C33xmDi.png)(https://i.imgur.com/sB7N8ZZ.png)

New webbing/chest rig. The Rhodesian Recon Vest or RRV for short. It's been featured both in Lone Survivor and American Sniper. Oh boy did I want to avoid doing this because of the accessories but here we are. The most difficult and painful gear to do are always the most rewarding.

(https://i.imgur.com/WYN4SKR.png)(https://i.imgur.com/bk9mDfC.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ygTWQMJ.png)

Last but not least the main event. Dragon Skin. First one in the series to feature some kind of shoulder guard and neck protection, also groin protection. Really hammers home that heavy feel. References were used for whatever little images are available of this relic.

It's all ours now, available to be produced in RimWorld so we can go get shot by pirates.

About: Mod adds three new consumables. Randy burger, Muff beer and ZZT! Cola. I wanted to do a Simpsons themed mod just to title it "Steamed Hams" but ultimately chose to name it an "original" name for RimWorld puns. I have regrets, but it's a simple fast food mod for those who want some extra food items, it was a tester for me to see what I can do with 512x512 food especially since Pizza Time and Rangers or other mods that add food aren't out yet.

Taranchuk finished all the stuff with storage and also training features. I have control over how much exp we can get and whatever in .xml cause he coded it to work that way. What a legend.

(https://i.imgur.com/oFXvsCi.png)

Here is an in-game screenshot of him adding all of the gizmos. It's surreal that we only had a concept image of this a few days ago.

That is all, no news on Big Iron cover yet.

That's me guys. Spent the entire of Saturday doing Dragon Skin and bloody Rhodesian Recon Vest, falling asleep in my own filth missing lunch and dinner just so you can all dress tacticool. Don't say I don't love you.

Got to get on producing a lesson for my troop.

Will come back later and possibly remove backpacks from pirates or just make a huge variety of civilian backpacks to make the military ones rarer.

EDIT:
-Also updated Rimdeed, just moodlet tweaks.

-Rimmu-Nation² Clothing: - Hydration pack name changed to "Wasing pack"

Yes, meant to be doing presentation but I procrastinated. Here's to hoping I don't die for it. You may get odd situations where pirates spawn with powered armor helmets under balaclavas, not much I could do. Pain in the butt.

That's all, gotta go.

I'd have to ask Oskar for permission to use his code, so we will see later on. I could always just grab the one in VG.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing updated:

- Tweaked apparel rarity for pirates so they don't spawn with all the ally kit. Just commonly used things.
- 2 new backpacks
 1 new body armor
- All backpacks are now craftable, rarity for NPC spawn tweaked

Viper Lazer SOPC (Special Ops Plate Carrier)

Did a JPC/Swift style plate carrier that was el cheapo. Looks good to me, fits in well with the others.

(https://i.imgur.com/wLFF4xU.png)(https://i.imgur.com/eMaDJ5o.png)
Dickies Student Backpack

Needed a few backpacks that can spawn for NPCs with generic colours, gave it a quick go so they aren't as detailed as the other backpacks.

(https://i.imgur.com/uQM4ZkL.png)(https://i.imgur.com/qLY8j7V.png)
Superdry Tarp Backpack

Same detail, Superdry backpack that I thought looked good for the more advanced NPCs.

Screenshots of new changes in effect:
(https://i.imgur.com/xMBzCRa.jpg)

As you can see NPCs no longer all look like freakin' operators with flyye kit or this and that. They have more generic sets and it makes more sense. Mostly sporting surplus or other more common old gear unless they're mercenaries who have access to the more advanced military sets.

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. I'm actually bricking it so doing some textures (trying not to overdo it) relaxes me a bit. See you guys later, gotta go. 2 days left. Enjoy the new gear.

Note: I screwed up, this update comes with errors. All 5.11 blaze wraps will disappear because I changed it's defname, if you wish to avoid possible issues please destroy the scarves in your save before loading this new update just in case, otherwise it should be safe to ignore the error. Only worried for those with hundreds or more in-game if they have multiple mods.

- Bodypartgroup changes on balaclava again to prevent rendering over helmet. Can no longer be worn with scarves.
- 5.11 shemagh blaze wrap defname changed to proper name
- 5.11 TacTec body armour texture changed
- New utility rig added "Tac Maven Super Belt"

Before:
(https://i.imgur.com/WuHwEMn.png)(https://i.imgur.com/wmmDRUz.png)(https://i.imgur.com/PNF5PTk.png)

I got comments that people prefer this old one, I believe people only prefer it due to the accessories. I still have the preset accessories, I don't like the roughness of the old plate carrier so I wanted to redo it. This was also to match the new storyteller art.

(https://i.imgur.com/9nkEEtm.png)(https://i.imgur.com/4dZj7S5.png)(https://i.imgur.com/67K7DjB.png)

Tac Maven Super Belt. The first utility belt I've done, the rest will be battle belts that have magazine pouches, this is why I have left alone the configuration of most armors, not only is it easier but it'll be more customizable for players to choose their layout with an empty plate carrier and a webbing.

(https://i.imgur.com/pNVijDu.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/BBJm6tV.jpg)
Found to be more likely to spawn under helmets, unfortunately now it only occupies the neck layer, it is no longer compatible with a scarf. I decided it's better than this:

It still happens I found, with vanilla helmets, but it's rarer.

Did a new storyteller art all day yesterday as practice before I finish Betty Lester's one:

(https://i.imgur.com/hqi6wi4.png)

It's a mash up of EXFIL Helmet, TacTec and a picture of E-Celeb Alex Zedra who plays Mara in Modern Warfare 2019. I wanted to do more storyteller art. Happy with the outcome. Think I'll try planet art later when I get time:

Will I make it a storyteller? Don't know. It'd have to be unique, cant be bothered to figure out unique right now with all the ones out there.

All bugs Taranchuk found is finished, he's also finished standalone version with more added features. It's just waiting on me to finalize with tons of translation key fixes.

In summary before I collapse typing here and fail to finish my irl stuff, it's able to work with other faction mods. I just have to sort it out based on techlevel, able to determine services based on faction techlevel.

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]. Freakin' lessons man.

Pardon me for the issues guys. Enjoy as always.

Had some idea of adding incidents with storyteller:

- Random Air Raid
Air raid SFX
Mortar HE shell strike for 1-2 hours

- Prison Camp
Pre-made prison camp with more prisoners inside, heavily defended

- Execution
Random enemy faction will arrive in player world map with prisoner slaves. Slaves await execution, player is notified before execution begins

- Minefield
Caravan incident. Caravan runs into a minefield that cannot be avoided. Full of IEDs

- Care package
Like ship crashed incident, however items inside are survival packaged meals

- QRF
Replace man in black with 3 well equipped pawns

Decided Mara didn't seem like a good storyteller kind for now. Looks too generic to be one? That's my opinion for now. Still enjoyed practicing on the art. Gotta go skynert, bladder bursting, needing PT before it gets dark. You was a skater boi I said see ya later boii  8)

Still dont know, maybe you are right and it is too generic. Or... made her Ranger storyteller? More quests, caravan ambush help, help defend X etc. Oh, and Happy Easter. I know, its not Easter yet but I can forgot about that later ;p

I thought hey, "why not?" let's have accessories cause people love accessories right? PRR with a custom pouch, a rando 5.11 admin pouch and triple mag pouch. It's just for these first few body armours, TacTec and DDT because they were the first I've done. Others will be left blank. When I do more webbing like battle belts, you guys will choose your configurations and it'll feel a lot more fluid since you can keep the type of plate carrier you want and change the stuff on it with your battle belts.

This is the only update for today lads, I'm finally free of retexturing some old stuff. Can do new things.

Planned body armours so far:
PACA soft plate
OTV
Crye JPC
Flyye Swift
Crye CAGE
Osprey Mk IV (Maybe)

Planned helmets:
Ops Core FAST
Caiman something something helmet
Team Wendy BUMP
PASGT
MICH TC-2001
Mk 6

Planned apparel:
5.11 assault something shirt (UBACs basically, but Multicam)
and 5.11 multicam mucho freakin expensive trousers, separate pieces of clothing. Outfits may be saved for factions.

Plans:
Helmets:
- PASGT, covered and non-covered
- PASGT camo variant, possibly MARPAT?
- MICH TC-2001
- Ops Core FAST
- Ops Core AirFrame
- Caiman something something helmet
- Team Wendy BUMP
- ACH, UCP and OCP variant

Body Armour
- OTV, Brown, UCP and OCP variant
- Crye JPC
- Crye AVS
- more civilian in appearance, non tactical body armours
- more foreign body armours

Carrier Rigs
- At least 10 carrier rig variants

Struggling with time because these items are so time consuming. I understand in the poll people now want to prioritize furniture, but unfortunately all focus and efforts are on what's currently unfinished now. I have 2 weeks left until I have to get out and get ready for a year of phase 2b training. I'm hoping it's not busy in the new place, but I'm not crossing my fingers cause it's 0700 every morning until 5PM from what I remember.

PACA LVC
The PACA Low Visibility Carrier, Tan in shade. Manufactured by "Protective Apparel Corporation of America" which is what PACA stands for. Was used by military personnel during the war in Afghanistan and possibly conflicts before instead of using their issue equipment, I'm guessing it is more of a personal preference. Usually worn with carrier rigs as it isn't using the MOLLE system.

(https://i.imgur.com/DHtuTty.png)(https://i.imgur.com/A3grXNI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/kLfKVYQ.png)
VestGuard OT103
VestGuard Overt Tactical ELITE variant, which is a version of the Overt Tactical body armour that comes with neck, groin and shoulder protection. I wanted this to have the "PRESS" patch but I thought it is better left ambiguous and patchless.

(https://i.imgur.com/0YEQEeL.png)(https://i.imgur.com/RT6emRb.png)(https://i.imgur.com/PyOUhPP.png)
Point Blank ASPC

The Point Blank Active Shooter Plate Carrier, was meant to come with a "POLICE" patch, but again, I've decided to leave it blank for your personal preference. Point Blank is the company that manufactures US Military and Law Enforcement personnel body armours.

We've hit 11 body armours. I am adamant about hitting 20 and over, along with more carrier rigs. I really want to compete with what's already out there done in vanilla art style. Unfortunately it takes roughly 1 day per armour and it takes a lot of dedication so I'm actually so burned out doing these.

Right now update adds no new headgear, as I said this stuff is hard work so I'm taking it slow less I burn out even more. Gonna go for a run all, cheers and as always enjoy the new stuff.

Looking great!
Regarding body armor, the ocp one is an iotv, not a otv.
Iotv was first fielded in ucp camo when it was still a thing, back in 2007.

"We are reaching allyness levels we never thought could be possible."
- Dr. Ally

"Ally" (pronunciation - Ah-lee)
Definition: When you have very expensive tactical (ally) looking kit, therefore making you look like an operator even if you aren't.

Note: The FAST helmets have differing back views, however for preview purposes I only showcase front and side in this post.

Ops Core series:
(https://i.imgur.com/gZey9hr.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Q8vWkUT.png)
FAST LE
So the prodigal helmet has returned, the Ops Core FAST helmet LE version. Went with a standard Tan cause I'm gonna save MultiCam for the armed forces factions.

I made a base for the helmet so I just have to change the rails and colours.

(https://i.imgur.com/YWPkmvk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/7gVRrqZ.png)
FAST BUMP
FAST BUMP helmet, multicam. Absolutely ally, but absolutely non-ballistic. I've had to take some liberties and make it ballistic in-game because we all wanna wear these for the pawns without getting shot in the head. It's lighter than the normal helmets in-game, even lighter than FAST (pun not intended). Downside is it is slightly less protective.

(https://i.imgur.com/gcUE30Y.png)(https://i.imgur.com/xLRni86.png)
FAST Carbon
FAST Carbon helmet, colour is confusing me, either it's grey or olive but it is what the website had. Same stats as FAST BUMP, looks as ally but that's standard for Ops Core.

(https://i.imgur.com/Flpzekc.png)(https://i.imgur.com/A3PFsRw.png)
VestGuard SF151
I wanted a black, urban version of the FAST helmet without using the same helmet. You're noticing the theme of a slight difference, so here's the VestGuard version of FAST. It's about identical in every way except for the mount and some front patches. I think it doesn't take away from the allyness. Same stats as FAST LE anyway.

PASGT ballistic helmets

(https://i.imgur.com/WRGJYnn.png)(https://i.imgur.com/riAAz7p.png)
PAS101 ballistic helmet
VestGuard version of the PASGT helmet. Why it warrants it's own name besides me wanting to have multiple brands and avoiding the "(This thing)" as best as I can, is that it is actually closer to the LWH. Like most modern PASGT helmets, it is lighter than the original design with less bolts/screws.

(https://i.imgur.com/hPwVuKT.png)(https://i.imgur.com/xi4jzxU.png)
PAS101 ballistic helmet (navy)
Same as above but with a navy cover to match with the OT103 armor. Gave it a chunkier and rough detail to seem like a real cover.

(https://i.imgur.com/hMjGgsk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/pNHCnX6.png)
PASGT ballistic helmet
The undisputed heavy weight.. helmet. It's the normal PASGT helmet used by the US in the gulf war before other innovations came around. It's still famous for surviving small arms fire and saving the wearer's life, so I made it slightly heavier yet more protective than the rest of the PASGT helmets here.

(https://i.imgur.com/tGSb4Vv.png)(https://i.imgur.com/AGLLtTb.png)
PASGT ballistic helmet (ENVO)
Same specifications as PAS101, however it's green with some different shaping on the back view as seen below in comparison:

(https://i.imgur.com/CRzjnok.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Yb4hwUk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/HF8O5fX.png)
(PAS101 does not come with visible back straps.)

Last but not least, we have our first battle belt. Everyone is stepping up on the allyness.

(https://i.imgur.com/WByivJZ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/b5LBhMg.png)(https://i.imgur.com/jj27eN0.png)(https://i.imgur.com/wTYqcsw.png)
Condor battle belt rig
It's an el cheapo battle belt, with custom pouches. Over all the cost of these belts are not-so el cheapo when it's flippin added to total including each pouch you put on. Anyway, the gear here is random. In the future if I were to do say Crye gear, I may use only strictly crye pouches and etc. I can have more fun with el cheapo ones like Condor because I can throw together random accessories.

You may notice I used the old accessories from the old version of TacTec. I had these saved for such an occassion, improved the magazine pouch detailing since I didn't like the old one.

EVS Body Armour
ENVO Body Armour, planned to release it last night with the new gear after finding the ENVO company and their PASGT helmet design. I thought the bluish grey colours were unusual for body armour and were a pleasant contrast to the tan and other common foliage colours.

(https://i.imgur.com/DVFLVyJ.jpg)

We've hit 12 body armours. 8 More till I'm happy to move on and do more backpacks or so.

Also fixed the shine for ENVO PASGT helmet.

Another armour that took AGES flippin heck lads. It's made by Point Blank, you already know. I felt though it'll be best called "OTV". It's the older gen, not the IOTV. May do some variants in camo or may not because it's extra work taken away from just doing a whole new armour. We will see. Been heading towards more detailed armour with accessory layouts, so it takes significantly longer but ultimately looks ally.

Redefinition of ally: means "Cool", I butchered its meaning. Sorry.

Wanted to do another armour before releasing this but I'm out of time, presentation tommorrow so I have to rehearse and finalize some things. Leaving this update for the guys who just can't wait to pretend it's 6 days in Rimllujah.

Fun fact: I took a Flyye version of OTV vest and copied a layout of some surplus OTV to make this, so it's actually not really Point Blank. A web of lies lads, it's all a scam

Band worked hard obviously, Altin and Erina who sang the song plus one other member who's name I wasn't told.

Love this cover, however I know youtube comments and some toxic kind of people will complain about the singer's accent. I decided to go and look for another vocalist for the main release. Will get back on it later.

AR500 back in Rimmu-Nation once again except with more accurate flippin detailing and not just slapped on some as a name. Veritaz, very light similar to ASPC with a strap and a clip on the side. I gotta pee, not much else to say. Didn't want just one armour this update so this brings us to the next one..

Had to center all the front views because for some reason they weren't centered. Did not have fun doing that trying to hold in pee while posting this bleedin' post. I hope you lot appreciate the sacrifices man makes for mods you know.

Hey all, been losing traction with these if you didn't notice. Next week I am back at base to move all my stuff. I feel like this latest work with the USMC gear, namely the chest rig isn't up to par with the others but it's a miracle I even finished them because I got very bored.

Got carpal tunnel in the weekend cause of me smashing these gear out so I had to take a break. I may go on hold with the mods due [EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec], and me losing motivation. Honestly a lot of work over freakin armours and it gets tiring.

Anyway lads, I'd like to hear feedback on this latest gear, your personal opinion if you think it's fine and looks as good as the rest anyway and maybe it's just me. Gotta go, in a rush. Cheers!

Ayo whattup it's ya boi Tom Clancy back at it again with another mod update

(https://i.imgur.com/kBZOPkN.png)
Tom Clancy
Everyone's favourite video game legend Tom Clancy who stars in PUBG and Fortnite. He was also in movies like Toy Story, Big, The Terminal, Castaway, Saving Private Randy and Forrest Gump.

Did a character art with the intention of using it only for the preview, rushed it. I found it easier to do males because you can draw all the wrinkles and not have to worry about making them look feminine. Since he won't be a storyteller, I was happy with the quality despite it feeling unfinished if I had to make it a storyteller.

C-4 Charge
C-4 returns in all of it's sticky playdough glory, now with lower volume and less chance of tinnitus.

(https://i.imgur.com/7LnUEQS.png)
C-4 IED
C-4 IED from CSGO, has a wider blast radius with reduced damage. You also get to use a Nokia 3210 in RimWorld to detonate this bad boy.

(https://i.imgur.com/kHvjl5E.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Z7ihF8E.png)
Sentry Gun
Everyone's favourite killstreak, the Sentry Gun returns in 512x512 texture. You may as well get a recliner and watch this baby do all the work while you're safe somewhere doing paperwork and risk assessments.

Detonator UI art
Last but not least, M57 firing device aka "Clacker" as UI for your military grade C-4 and a Nokia 3210 detonator UI for the IED.

Need I say more gents? Enjoy blowing things up.

Any questions and queries please use the 3210 to contact Tom Clancy.

New 155mm shell IED with a 3310 Nokia detonator. This has the widest radius of all the remote control triggered explosives, but has the weakest damage out of all three. Doesn't matter if you're aiming for personnel though, it's deadly, just starts to show when you're fighting heavily armored units.

(https://i.imgur.com/rj2Bvpk.png)
YM-1(B) Anti-Personnel Mine, surprisingly not much information about the mine besides being a common EO threat (Explosive Ordnance) that has been found in Afghanistan and Iran, I'm guessing it is Soviet made especially since its design is similar to that of other common soviet made AP mines.

This thing isn't really designed to kill, but to maim personnel. It is however, not shy of taking away lives. Sadly in real life a lot of these things are still buried in all kinds of places with even the people who put them there not knowing exactly where they are if you could ask them. This is why mines are banned in the Geneva convention, but that's not gonna stop you though is it?

Made the damage able to take away limbs but not quite as bombastic as all the remote control explosives. It's like the in-game vanilla IED with more damage and also triggers more instantly.

(https://i.imgur.com/6nDWDGt.png)(https://i.imgur.com/DpHqfRs.png)
M2 Browning, made by the man the myth the legend John Browning towards the end of WWI. This heavy machinegun was the reason why the .50 Browning Machine Gun (BMG) cartridge was made.

In-game it takes 100 steel to signify the .50 cartridges as fuel and fires bursts of 4. Gotta conserve ammo folks.

(https://i.imgur.com/uRwyIa0.png)

Mk19 grenade launcher, uses the same tripod cause I was too lazy to make a new tripod designed specifically for the Mk 19. It fires in bursts of two 40mm grenade rounds because even though you can do full auto, you may wanna NOT do that cause budget cuts on ammo.

Funny story: I can't add fuel on explosive turrets, don't know why but it won't work and consume fuel. That means this has free ammo like classic turrets. GG Tynan.

Alright I'm going to bed, all of you go drive that funky soul. If you missed the easter egg, it's on the 3310.

The BGM-71 TOW. You point, you shoot, thing explodes. Thing doesn't require ammo, was the easiest way to code it since adding ammo would be a whole lot of trouble and issues I don't care for right now.

Tested this, it's able to destroy a Centipede in 2 hits but it can take more depending on situation. It's supposed to have a missile acting similar to ones in Javelins where they fly overhead and attack from above where there is likely to be minimal armour but I'm guessing cheaper so probably not as damaging. I'll try to be more accurate in the future if I ever get hit by a TOW-2B so I can judge from first hand experience. That was sarcasm.

Tom Clancy again today folks, got some simple mod improvements for Rimmu-Nation security including UI fix.

(https://i.imgur.com/IHv0Rki.png)

Here's the UI art. It's an ammo box of 100 linked .50 BMG cartridges.

I also scaled the steel you need to reload as 1:1 steel for each .50 BMG cartridge.

Before you lot correct me and tell me that those .50 BMG cartridges aren't made of steel, don't you even before I get a heart attack. Look, I don't wanna add new resources in the game just to accurately make this reloading thing look cool alright. Freakin' Tom Clancy here gonna go live in another uncharted lost island man.

Randy Burgers has also been updated to fix Soda UI error.

Gonna go, cheerio

I didn't check here since my last post and as a civilian who is not flluent in military equipment I find the amount of new armors to be a bit overhelming. Most likely just my lack of knowledge on the matter, not the actual issue. Like the visuals though. A question I have however - how is Nokia connected to explosives at all?

Rimmu-Nation² - Security updated:

- M2 Mortar added
- M49A2 HE shells added
- M2 Browning ammunition description tweak
- Fragmentation damage from explosions tweaked and balanced to be more realistic

Tom Hanks back at it again with some mortar action

(https://i.imgur.com/QiYQf41.png)
M2 Mortar
US Made, WWII origin. Uses 60mm but mortar calibers don't exist in RimWorld so it can take any shell you put in.

(https://i.imgur.com/H8JDVdh.png)(https://i.imgur.com/nolzUih.png)(https://i.imgur.com/mtHpuDH.png)
M49A2 High-Explosive Shells
Meant to be the 60mm shells that go inside the M2 and other NATO 60mm mortars but again, mortar shell calibers aren't a thing in RimWorld so we'll just keep it simple.

It's better than the vanilla HE shells, wider blast radius and more damage. Same damage as the AP mine explosives, it's my "RN2Bomb" damage standard of fragmenting explosives like grenades and etc.

GrW 34 81mm Mortar
Unused asset. Was a mistake on my part thinking it was the M2, turned out to be German origin from WWII. Unfortunately I'm torn about using it since I'd have to make 81mm mortar shells too and it'll mean having more calibers present for mortars. Extra work for me.

If anyone is a fan of this German mortar let me know, maybe I'll add it.

I think that's a positive. Really most of the armours are by civilian companies, they just have their own names similar to how weapons made by companies each have their own names. I wanted variety and we seem to have it so far.

As for Nokia phones, they're just very common phones that were and still is present around the world. These days they are commonly used as burner phones, something abandoned easily since they are cheap and easy to acquire after having been used for crimes or other shady things where the user wouldn't wanna be traced.

I grew up with the phones and I wanted the old nostalgic phones of the era to be used as the detonators for the IEDs in these mods, no real link other than they were prolific enough to be used by baddies as a detonator for remote controlled IEDs.


EDIT: Quickly patched the M2 Mortar to allow being built in medium terrain affordance and also NOT explode when destroyed

Patch 2:
- Range buff for all mounted weapons
- M2 Browning fire rate is now single shots with low cooldown to simulate full auto
- M2 Browning ammunition is now 200

BCD - CASEVAC and First Aid mod added:
(https://i.imgur.com/lFuZMRb.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/dzZHjc3.png)
GOOGLE DRIVE LINK (BCD FOLDER) (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13CYAdAwmeVDgzFZPVeqbeQRNiJVc3Nzk?usp=sharing)

What is BCD?
Battlefield Casualty Drills, medical procedures in the event of a casualty in combat.

What is First Aid?
Medical treatment given to a casualty or injured person until further medical help is available

What is CASEVAC?
CASEVAC is short for "Casualty Evacuation" which can be done by land or by air. When casualties are evacuated, soldiers are trained multiple methods of carrying the casualty to speed up their evacuation.

Combat Extended Compatible?
Unknown.

First Aid:
(https://i.imgur.com/zsR5g6x.gif)

Mod summary:
- New right click option on downed pawns to "Perform first aid"
- First aid tends to downed pawns on their current location unless there is a bed nearby
- First aid will allow the medic to grab the nearest medicine resource, otherwise they will tend to the casualty with no medicine
- Can be used on enemy pawns and friendlies
- First aid tending speed is 25% faster than normal tending, however the quality of tending is reduced


CASEVAC:
(https://i.imgur.com/IiR6qBf.gif)

Mod summary:
- New rescue type called "CASEVAC"
- CASEVAC allows up to 4 pawns to help speed up the move speed of the rescuer for each added pawn
- Can only CASEVAC your own colonists
- Can be prioritized in skill menu

Warning: CASEVAC mod has a lot of console log spam. Not errors (unless an error briefly gets logged). It may cause difficulty for you to report mod errors and perform troubleshooting because your error log is flooded with CASEVAC actions. Please take consideration before choosing to install.

Credits to Taranchuk as always for making the two mods above possible, he's been the backbone of the core features of the mods lately and allows us to do cooler things, much like dninemfive and Jecrell was for my mod series when it came to C#.

Let me know if you run into issues, preferably with an error log or reproducable steps. Am only currently aware of a first aid bug that's difficult to replicate where your pawn sometimes ignore orders to perform first aid on somebody. Cheers all, enjoy the new mods.

- Bug fix for pawn ignoring order to perform first aid

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]

So I've been running around finding bugs on CASEVAC and First Aid. Not fun to do but it's why we're here. As shown above when you order a CASEVAC, all pawns including animals wild or pets will perform a CASEVAC and it's actually a hilarious bug. I saw a Buck do it but realized he wasn't a part of the colony and so the Buck just froze in place while I had to get some pawns to sweep it's leg to let go of my guy.

(https://i.imgur.com/e87LxSx.png)

It took them about 10 attempts before they could finally beat this Karate Buck. Must be studying how to fight at "Ko-Buck Kai" hehehe  8)

Anyways, here's some unrelated artwork progress.

Contacted JangoD'Soul, he's missing in action, everyone else I dunno. It's gonna be expensive but whatever. I was thinking of a good send off and have a lot of names on this project so we can also beef up the content.

P1944 Gasmask
Reduces toxic fallout effect by 75%. Also looks cool.

Hate to piss in your cornflakes, but the filter probably shouldn't have the plug still in while it's being worn. Assuming the mask is being worn properly it'd suffocate the wearer.

Had to fix the P-1944 respirator and peel off your plugs but didn't wanna just update the mod for that so here comes the long procrastinated Canvas rucksack for Rimmu-Nation 2 and the new boonie hat.

Boonie hat
So this is a Bushmaster Boonie Hat, just generically called "boonie hat" in game. Has more protection than the baseball cap for heat and a whopping extra 5 hp in durability but costs more textile to make. I didn't want a military issue boonie hat and make everyone look like Cpt Price so I went with a generic one that looked good enough for the job. It's even covering one of your eyes so you look like a model posing for the clothing company.

Gootium 21101 canvas rucksack
Known in-game as "Gootium canvas rucksack". Same capacity as the Motherlode but has more durability and slightly more mass. Costs more resource to make due to that. All the rangers use Canvas backpacks from the AUGUR line and it was hard to find good alternatives that had good references. Found this one that looked very good and also found a side view so I didn't have to guesstimate how it looked from the side.

Last but not least, corrected the cannister being covered for the P-1944 respirator. Will get to bed now

Rimmu-Nation Security update:

Claymores now show the direction your shrapnel will fire into, and it also has a shrapnel blast radius of 3 tiles instead of one.

Amount of projectiles changed to 35 instead of 50 considering you're releasing 35 x 3 = (quickmaths) instead of before. I don't want performance hits bigger than what these 512 res already give.

You leave my cornflakes alone, I need them for breakfast. And thank you for actually informing me, I'd have honestly left it there not knowing and I blame this guy right here:

It's my fault for not doing more research or looking at a few more references, should've not completely relied on a reference that was intended to sell the cannister unopened.

Anyways all I'm off. It's 3AM and I gotta wake up in 6 hours time (earlier for breakfast and stuff.)

Hey uh, is it a known behavior for pawns with a meal in their inventory and no medicine to try to do first aid with the meal?

Would like to give a personal shout out to Sheriff for his mad decision to give a large amount of donation to help me out, not just to have chicken to eat but for some dev money for this mod series!

Hand-To-Hand
(https://i.imgur.com/O3s7OQ9.png)
- Knockout times tweaked to be a bit longer
- Description for the moves can now be read
- Combat logs added
- Can no longer target buildings

(https://i.imgur.com/ISQE9SO.gif)
Auto-casting has been added, your pawns will now destroy your enemies in hand to hand combat and choose moves in their own discretion. As you can see animation has been added for RKO too, and other moves just has a basic melee animation now. Freakin' hand-to-hand ninjas everywhere lads

Please note the .gif is sped up x2 for compression, in case you think cooldowns are less than a second. Cooldown applies for autocasting as well.

(https://i.imgur.com/Z1e8hR4.jpg)
Mod settings allow you to disable certain moves from being autocast or to hide the buttons. Special thanks to Taranchuk again, won't be possible without that legend.

BCD First Aid and CASEVAC

- CASEVAC fixed for animals taking part in CASEVAC
- First aid fixes for pawns using food for first aid and failing/ignoring to perform first aid

Got some backlog of Rimmu-Nation² content coming along, just waiting for a certain PASGT armor or the last one which I won't name yet. So far we have 3 new body armours coming (4 if the other one makes it soon) and 3 new backpacks.

I knew about it, just kept it under wraps since Taranchuk was working on a fix since Friday. It's sorted now.

CP,
don't you think the hand to hand is too powerful ?
When one pawn can easiely can disable 4 similar geared pawns ? Why do i need weapons ? I just ambush them behind some corner and disable them.
The army of hauler is waiting behind to imprison them.

My suggestion:
- when you use the skill, the pawn drop the weapon.
- there should still be the chance that the pawn die instead to be disabled.
- much higher cooldown or other restrictions to use the skill. Like when you got a mellee attack to reset the cooldown timer.

- Mod contains 7 female hairstyles and 11 male hairstyles

Don't have time to explain the features, but most of the hair are from video game characters, so far mostly from the Call of Duty roster.

I have to go sleep right now, hours burning away over this mod. Had to rush it's release and unfortunately didn't reach 11 female hairs in time too.

What's stopping a pawn from just Hand-To-Hand fighting everyone? They will die. No question about it.

The fact you can take down multiple pawns with ease requires high melee skill, harder to do if you haven't unlocked much moves yet. If a pawn is mowing down enemies with H2H abilities it's probably cause they're at 15 melee or so by now.

Did I want Hollywood level scenarios like Ip Man kicking 10 black belt butts in a fight? Yes. Every other mod here can be classed as overkill, but it never makes your people unkillable, the preview above of the pawn beating 4 other pirates had max 20 melee for the preview, the pirates had about less than 10 melee skill. Even then that pawn almost died or went down trying to take them on.

As for your suggestions:
- Absolutely not, I don't want weapons being dropped when skills are used. It's annoying enough in simple sidearms with weapons being left behind, its just gonna make people not want to use the mod at all.
- Chance for pawn to die already exists, all the moves here damages the enemy.
- Higher cooldown will be considered later, seems like the only real way of adding some more countermeasures. However realistically I don't want 5 second cooldowns or above for a roundhouse kick or a punch. I still want the game to head towards the feel of Metal Gear Solid V where you can have your pawns expert in hand to hand able to expertly take down enemies at risk of being shot or killed. They're good, but by no means invincible. "They're pretty good." - Hideo Kojima 2021

I'm gonna go bed, I spent more time talking to Canute than explaining the mod release. Goodnight all

Helikon Bail out bag
Forgot to add it last update, wasn't happy with the original textures entirely so did some minor modifications and made it feel more baggy rather than straight shapes. This is actually the first backpack Fiendakko did for me, it's really well done. I think it's a good in-between with civilian and military style backpacks.

(https://i.imgur.com/NbZnJ0O.png)(https://i.imgur.com/NimZOfP.png)
Tactix Half-Day backpack
Done by Fiendakko, commissioned by Morphium to be added for this mod. Never knew of the backpack's existence so am grateful that Morphium started a commission just for this. Shout out to those two guys, you guys can look more tacticooler cause of them

North Face Terra 65
Done by DanDMan 68. Another rucksack, very nice and non-military looking. Had to buff Berghaus Vulcan IV's carrying capacity because this rucksack can hold 65 Litres/KG irl. (not sure if a person can do the same for too long) but also increased move speed penalty.

Here's our first camo onskin apparel for the mod. I wanted a UBAC, been looking at this for the longest time but I'm just so tired today so I rushed the texture and so most of this isn't even symmetrical. Think it looks good enough anyway. Trousers are separate.

(https://i.imgur.com/lzqmWYx.png)
5.11 Stryke MultiCam Pants
Meant to be worn with the rapid assault shirt. "5.11" is removed as part of the labels in game so these two are just called "Raapid assault shirt" and "Stryke MultiCam pants"

That's all for Clothing for now.

UI for M134 ammo running out
1,500 ammunition. It fires very much rapidly, spits out 7.62x51mm NATO like the sentry gun's projectile stats.

Speaking of Sentry gun, when ammo runs out the UI for that one is this brand spankers new UI:
(https://i.imgur.com/zBMXXsF.png)
UI for sentry gun ammo running out
Sentry gun holds 200 ammo now.

- M2 Browning rate of fire improved
- Sentry Gun holds 200 ammo now
- Ammo for M2 and Sentry Gun refuel scales have been changed. M2 is still 1:1 and Sentry Gun/M134 1:2.
- Claymore damage buff

This means to refill this bad boy:
(https://i.imgur.com/MYUZDUj.jpg)

You need 750 steel.

P.S. I understand it's meant to go on a mount but I had no references for it on top view, very scarce, so I just banged out the minigun on that modular tripod. Still awesome.

---

Will do other things later. Am physically and mentally exhausted. [EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec]

Still don't know what I'm doing up to now. At least we know M134 is freakin' awesome.

See you tommorrow.

Hey all, been busy. Moving out to course next week so I have to pack up and all that.

Just been resting, booked my leave for this week and will spend time with family before I go.

JangoD'Soul has joined in as part of RH2 and has done me a favour for one last commission. He's sadly leaving modding for an unknown amount of time due to personal reasons he won't disclose.

His last piece of commission done will be added for Rimmu-Nation 2 and it's going the be an armor which is the one and only..

Juggernaut Armor
(https://i.imgur.com/9HqNntV.png)

Just to sweeten the deal, I requested a backpack too. Another rucksack, this time of Russian origin called "AZIMUT SS" Rucksack "Kangaroo". Will have to work on the name later.
(https://i.imgur.com/UxRuN0K.png)

Now as of this post Jango doesn't wanna do more commissions, he's going away for personal reasons so I believe it means a lot that his last piece of work so far was a difficult one and was done especially for us. Hope to see him again later and that he'll be okay.

He's asked me not to credit his full name in the mod specifically because he doesn't want others asking for any more commissions due to him being away.

In the meantime, I'm gonna go home so I got some packing to do for that. See you for this update later, I may make the Juggernaut a shell layer apparel.

(https://i.imgur.com/VsSNmEu.png)(https://i.imgur.com/0qv8Pka.png)(https://i.imgur.com/i7lxmbq.png)
Juggernaut helmet
Helmet consists of an Altyn style helmet with ballistic face shield and a PBF respirator. It's the heaviest helmet I've made so far, first helmet in this mod series to have accessories on it since we can't wear gasmasks as layers as of yet. (Tynan, pls)

Adds -0.10 c/s move speed and also gives -0.85 toxic sensitivity. Mass is 8 KG.

(https://i.imgur.com/QkvdCPk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/KM6Vccd.png)(https://i.imgur.com/x09SewH.png)
Juggernaut suit
The one and only, adds the most protection out of all the body armours. May work more on the balancing later but I put a rough estimate for now cause I'm in a rush. It weighs a whopping 17 KG for the pawn to wear, which with the helmet weighs 25 in total.

-0.50 c/s move speed, with the helmet you get -0.60 c/s in total. May include other things such as work speed penalty later.

(https://i.imgur.com/AM7T4Ju.jpg)
There you have it folks, the Juggernaut. I know a few people were excited so I rushed in for an update before I go to do busy things today.

Again, very warm thanks to JDS for this legendary piece of armour that you can all now enjoy.

Galac-Tac Heavy Gunner Helmet
High Cut/FAST style helmet with mandibles where you can attach ballistic plates that can protect your cheeks. I don't know how good the protection is but in game it covers fullhead just like the old "Hunter Reactive" from Rimmu-Nation 1.2, however this version is more grounded in reality.

MBC Fantom plate carrier
MBC "Fantom", Phantom in English but I kept the F cause it sounds more foreign. It's a Russian made body armour, officially the first one in the mod made by me. I made it black since we didn't have enough black plate carriers.

GORKA 3 Jacket
GORKA 4 taking a backseat possibly for factions, here's the GORKA 3 in all of its glory with history behind its back such as Afghanistan and Uncle Vlad's vodka stand across the street.

GORKA 3 Pants
Decided to keep the theme of outfits and pants being separate. GORKA 3 pants separate from the jacket.

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons

- New weapons added
- Volume of all sound effects lowered to safer levels for your hearing (Will only work without classic Rimmu-Nation)

(https://i.imgur.com/G0Xhu4Y.png)
M9A1
Finally added to the mod

AK47
Couldn't do a Russian based update without this thing, it'd have been a crime

(https://i.imgur.com/OLaYeHZ.png)
PKM
Could not let the AK47 be alone but was too lazy to do more, so I just made the other weapon a big one. The PKM returns as a second option for GPMGs making it the other option you have besides FN MAG for RN2.

USMC Tomahawk
Tomahawk produced by a company that prides itself as "USMC" though unofficially tied to the military branch, I'm guessing their company consists of veterans and they mainly produce melee weapons. May get more stuff from them soon.

TOPS Machete
Tactical OPS machete, wanted a machete but it had to look tacticool so here is one

(https://i.imgur.com/Fxtovpt.png)
Mizutori Katana
Made by Cold Steel, a Katana finally makes it to Rimmu-Nation² and it isn't some OP HF blade or whatever VOID is using. It's a freakin' Katana you can use to cut your sausages up in the kitchen. May add more Cold Steel weapons later.

The following are game-ready textures that I've decided not to add yet. Please give me your thoughts instead of the usual drill of lurking around, do you think these weapons will ruin the "tacticool" theme or will they fit right in?

What about if pirates spawned with them? let me know.

Unused/Un-added new weapons:

Baseball Bat

Wood Axe

(https://i.imgur.com/K3osjsB.png)
Hatchet
Chosen this as the hatchet since it's very industrial and more common than native made looking ones.

I say again, these haven't been added because I feel as it is right now they don't feel like they fit right in. If you have objections please let me know, your thoughts on these un-added melee weapons.

(Scales may vary due to some drawsizes being fixed)

Long story short, I'm running out of time to keep doing these massive updates. Here's possibly the last major one for who knows how long.

I've added the Azimut SS that I missed to add last update, added GORKA 3 with other Russian made gear and weapons so that it won't be all by its lonesome. This whole time TMC was working on the Galac-Tac set based on a 1/6 scale desert ranger toy. We took some liberties, came out great. Took him 3 weeks to do.

[EDIT: Details removed due to OpSec] My time doing mods has been met with troubles in life so this has been my getaway and I thank God and all of you guys, especially supporters like Morphium and Sheriff and all the artists who have taken part creating these mods. It's helped me get through some tough times. Will see you in a bit, please leave feedback.

I know there's still a request regarding H2H but I'm still waiting on Taranchuk for another addition for mod settings, if I'm out of time before I can allocate time to fix that mod cause I have to move to a training establishment where everything is back to being strict, then you won't hear from me for a while.

Everything is lookin good, I'm excited for the future and hopefully some more Vietnam war era gear

[RH2] Faction: Rangers open beta added, Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing updated

Releasing the Rangers today, still have weapons unbalanced to how they should be but they are all roughly where they need to be. Just set up only a few previews cause I've spent over 3 hours running around trying to make fixes and uploading as it is. Will leave the rest to you guys to play around with. Decided to polish most of the rough edges and release the mod to you all before I go.

(https://i.imgur.com/0DdMn7L.jpg)

Rangers in summary, you earn their trust and you can join them at +10 relations. You can use their training, hospital facilities and etc. I'd rather you guys play around and find out than me explain it all, but they will be there for you so long as you have something to contribute.

Sadly as I played with the mod I can't quite capture the essence, but what we got is realistic. If you're the kind of colony who is absolutely overrun and your relations with Rangers aren't tip top or they've already sent reinforcements and they managed to get wiped out, they will hang you out dry. I feel this is appropriate since it's not as if any lawman has a "No retreat, no surrender" mindset, especially with Rangers under being different management than that of their original founders who had a more unwavering foundation.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing
- Backpacks now have a market value based on their carrying capacity range

Made fixes for the Rangers mod, the backpacks will be sold in their outposts, randomly generated.

Enjoy all, hope you have some good stories with this faction.

Thanks my friend, you may be excited for the new release in this case. Taranchuk is busy sadly so I can't make further updates with H2H. I've got a lot of prep work to do now for life stuff, so I will have to leave the mods as they are now until I find more free time.

I'll see you all in a bit.

I'm not so sure about bats, but I definitely like the axes. As for fitting the theme? I never was good with that sort of thing. It's sharp, it's metal and can be used for killing, that's fitting enough for me.

Did the new update right before I sleep, took me more time than I wanted so now I've got less hours to sleep again. Been obsessive with progress and somewhat finding refuge in these mods. It's not good since it's bad for my health to consistently only have 5 hours of sleep, especially when I have to do military, mentally and physically exhausting kind of work. Hope you all enjoy, it's time for me to go. Cheers all.

Ah MrBriggs! Thanks for the input. Will keep it in mind. I just felt like if we were gonna do industrial, post apocalyptic style weapons, might as well have a lot more than blades

i have 2 questions

1. will there be new body armor that take material stat? if not then are you gonna make existing body armor stuffable?
2. will there be a chance for the battle dress on page 3 to be an actual mod? i know its a joke but i am interested.

Everyone buckle up cause there's a lot of new stuff (also a typo in Domino's name rip)

So this mod update has been 2 weeks in the making, been very busy and drained here in the Engineers. I would have had more content but unfortunately this month, I am out of budget, time and patience. I just wanna play warzone for a bit now so I wrapped up this update without adding all the new headgear, fiendakko has generously given more apparel which I am yet to add along with my planned remake of the BDU that has camo, yet to be finished.

Without further ado here's the new stuff.
Prepare your muffalo.

(https://i.imgur.com/QSAMeyQ.png)
Chicken Mitchell² - Hairstyles
(https://i.imgur.com/aXLksSK.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ZQdA52S.png)
- Redone the preview art and Woods hairstyle front and side view to more accurately fit the character. He's a gosh dang onion Mason, you should know that.
- 8 New hairstyles, 6 female and 2 male.
- "EVERY HAIRSTYLE WE ADD ON IS ILLEGAL!" - Onion Woods

Nikolai's hairstyle from Modern Warfare 2019/Warzone, he has his own PMC called "Chimera" and has this slick freakin' hair while wearing his aviators. Yet to add a Telnyashka and Gucci brand aviators for Rimmu-Nation 2.

Mia
Mia Khalifa's hairstyle. just referred to as "Mia" in-game. I thought it was a nice contrast to the ponytails and other video game hairstyles since I'm just doing famous people in general. I get we may get looks here but let's be mature please folks before I get the comments. I wish the person nothing but the best and is happy to know she's off to do better things. Our past doesn't define us.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing
- New apparel added
- Backpack side textures tweaked
- Apparel tagged to not spawn for tribals during cold season (Needs testing/reports to see if it works)

Gear added:

(https://i.imgur.com/ereYzbh.png)(https://i.imgur.com/70Pgs7v.png)(https://i.imgur.com/vlgiKBA.png)
MIL-TEC Jungle Hat
A different version of the boonie hat, known in game as "Jungle Hat". Clearly more military looking than our current Boonie hat. Bravo six, going daaahk.

(https://i.imgur.com/9cYA6b8.png)(https://i.imgur.com/xpqVPk6.png)(https://i.imgur.com/i3fAS9b.png)
Helikon Field Cap
known in game as "field cap". This is my remake of our field caps. I wanna thank Morphium for commissioning Fiendakko to make a field cap for us, however I wanted a new version that wasn't using the old 1.2 field cap as reference. Having brand names allows me to make multiple versions and having variations of the same kind of hat, as seen above with the Jungle Hat.

(https://i.imgur.com/uWZ0WvM.png)(https://i.imgur.com/SrmpNF4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ABLy3ft.png)
Beechfield Beanie
The Beanie returns! Lots of tacticool people since the dawn of The Division has been wearing this, so here it is in all of its colorable hipster glory. Why I was hesitant to add these again is because of the issue with tribals, which stops me from wanting to get into Jackets. With the new update I think we've finally found a way around it, with a code Tynan left in royalty DLC:
[spoiler]<canBeGeneratedToSatisfyWarmth>false</canBeGeneratedToSatisfyWarmth>[/spoiler]

(https://i.imgur.com/tAhuEBS.png)(https://i.imgur.com/0MllaJg.png)(https://i.imgur.com/dGcOJZB.png)(https://i.imgur.com/5jwtH8D.png)
Military Beret
So this is a texture by Odstriman (Odz) who has officially joined our expandables crew for apparel art. He's made this based of the VDV Beret used by the Russian Armed Forces. I am interested in other Beret variants later.

(https://i.imgur.com/X6wkZ6r.png)(https://i.imgur.com/cDmlprt.png)(https://i.imgur.com/MdXUruN.png)
BLACKHAWK! Pursuit Shirt
Did a rough hand drawing, was experimenting to see if non-symmetrical apparel can look appealing and be viable to do since non-symmetrical hand drawn apparel is super quick to do compared to the painstaking stuff I went through doing the more precise DOOM armor which needed symmetry.

Known in game as "Pursuit shirt" and the trousers "Pursuit pants"

(https://i.imgur.com/cBr6srD.png)
BLACKHAWK! Pursuit Pants

(https://i.imgur.com/tULRJTF.png)(https://i.imgur.com/OVSNcfr.png)(https://i.imgur.com/hPAsw8E.png)
Brandit Flight Suit
Our first coveralls added in the mod, a flight suit which can be used for your special forces pawntypes. The outfit is flame retardant as most of the combat shirts/pants, and is colorable so you can re-create different branches i.e. GROM, FBI or SAS as you so wish. This covers the legs so no need for pants.

(https://i.imgur.com/2oY65wF.png)(https://i.imgur.com/vDuLbtD.png)
Hello Kitty backpack
Same stats as the SuperDry Tarp Backpack. I wanted to add a new backpack for this update, and I was taking 2 weeks to decide what to add. I was thinking something highly ally and cool, but just didn't have the patience to sit there and freakin' do every velcro or MOLLE detail. The old idea to add a hello kitty backpack as a joke came back to mind, so here we are.

(https://i.imgur.com/5BXXP4O.jpg)

Combat gear added:

(https://i.imgur.com/0Ia6H1c.png)(https://i.imgur.com/c7wt5EZ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/wyhgLC2.png)
StSh-81 helmet
Done by Odstriman again at my request, very grateful since he does it better than me. It's a helmet for Russian Armed Forces, usually saved for their Special Purpose teams.

(https://i.imgur.com/UInTmJg.png)(https://i.imgur.com/aeEKYL8.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ls7MEmO.png)
6B48 Helmet
Texture done by ya boi Fiendakko. The Helmet is part of the Ratnik program, made for tank crewmen with headsets integrated. As far as I know, it is also ballistic so I just gave this and the StSh same protection stats as the PASGT, however being more lighter in mass.

(https://i.imgur.com/AmfvLzm.png)(https://i.imgur.com/bD7C6P4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/FqaCbPf.png)
Defender 2 body armor
Defender 2 russian military body armor, just used the OTV stats since it's very similar in terms of modularity and looks. I however assume it's easier to put on due to how it appears, so I reduced the delay to put it on and remove it compared to the OTV.

The following chest rigs are also done by Fiendakko, very talented artist who has done a lot for this mod:
(https://i.imgur.com/RhrNTxk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/erYo7BB.png)(https://i.imgur.com/3j3zmsY.png)
Type 63 Chest Rig
Chinese made, cold war era

(https://i.imgur.com/MUPaC7N.png)(https://i.imgur.com/qmAQ69e.png)(https://i.imgur.com/vAgdwGp.png)
Type 56 Chest Rig
Another Chinese, Vietnam war/Cold war era chest rig. Fun fact: This is operator Stone/Bell's chest rig from Black Ops cold war to you guys who want to create those pawns in game.

(https://i.imgur.com/BYBjqcJ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/oXCgLkR.png)(https://i.imgur.com/oeZn39d.png)
Splav M23 military vest
Russian military chest rig, modern era. Another beautiful texture done by Fiendakko, attention to detail is solid, couldn't have done it better myself.

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons
- 20 new weapons added

Prepare your Boomrats folks, here's a massive update of Rimmu-Nation weapons, was procrastinating to buy groceries the other day so I ended up spending more time making new weapons than buying chicken for myself.

Let's start with the melee and move our way up from there.

Melee:
(https://i.imgur.com/Z7pxpmG.png)
M9 Bayonet
HIGH PORT! ATTACH BAYONET! EN GARDE! finally makes it in game to bring back memories.

(https://i.imgur.com/djgPOSe.png)
Spetsnaz Machete
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, Spetsnaz Machete.

(https://i.imgur.com/SO5VrpX.png)
Kukri
Used by Gurkhas, when equipped machetes (All of them) now also increase plant work speed.

(https://i.imgur.com/lQ0ILCg.png)
Gerber Gator Machete
Another Gerber item added in the mod series, for your Bear Grylls roleplaying needs.

(https://i.imgur.com/F5Zekhy.png)
ECHO Chainsaw
Oh yeah folks. There is a chainsaw in Rimmu-Nation now. Not to worry as it is significantly weaker than DOOM or VOID's chainsaw from 1.2 with the damage being 10 per 0.7 seconds (Average) as opposed to their 20 damage per 0.50 seconds. Realistically, chainsaws aren't too reliable but here they can still put on a hurting.

When equipped, plant work speed increases 2.0 so you can go cut down all the trees and ruin the environment besides chopping up raiders!

(https://i.imgur.com/pV42iCz.jpg)

CQB:
(https://i.imgur.com/1dO3kNP.png)
P320
Nobody tell James Yeager guys. P320 returns as your 9mm short, reminds everybody in Glock that the US Military chose them so Glock is salty about it to this day.

(https://i.imgur.com/GDSekDq.png)
Makarov
"SO WHY IN BLOODY HELL DOES MAKAROV KNOW YOU?!"

(https://i.imgur.com/IESDY5u.png)
MAC-10
MAC-10 go again, chambered in-game in .45 ACP. Note to self: Maybe leave that in the description. This replaces the old MAC-11 from 1.2 since I always intended for it to be the MAC-10 and not that smaller version.

(https://i.imgur.com/TEFUMGD.png)
AK74U
AK74U in all of its glory returns. Same stats as before but now in HD.

(https://i.imgur.com/ZrDML02.png)
Skorpion
See folks I could've added the P90 or the UMP, you know fan favourites. But I didn't want to put in the time or effort cause I'm flippin hangin' out already. Know what I thought? Well add the MAC-10 and Skorpion instead of 1 difficult SMG cause they seem easy to make!

(https://i.imgur.com/2dtsgbN.png)
IZh-43 double barrel shotgun
The Boomstick. Russian made shotgun by Baikal, was later sold to Remington who sold it as Spartan 220 in the United States.

(https://i.imgur.com/RptplNw.png)
Model 1897
Winchester Trench Gun returns. Have also redone the 870 MCS texture to look less "detailed" and realistic so the shotguns look very swoode now.

Rifles:
(https://i.imgur.com/gViG9ZH.png)
Type 56
Norinco, Chinese copy of the AK47 returns. Added it's iconic shovel looking stock. Fun fact: Reference image had an upside down muzzle break and I got bollocked for it by some guys in Rimworld chat, so I corrected it.

(https://i.imgur.com/aCvZIwa.png)
Type CQ
Norinco M16 unlicensed clone. I know you guys are waiting for Cold War/Vietnam era gear, and that implies the mighty M16. Well guys, why settle for the original when you can have a Chinese copy?!?!?!

(https://i.imgur.com/v7HgwII.png)
C7A1
Last added rifle this update, didn't wanna just leave the update with Norinco copies to make people anticipating more western weapons salty so here's the C7A1 for you Canadian fans.

LMG:
(https://i.imgur.com/n8qeNPv.png)
RPD
First LMG added in the mod and it ain't an M249 or a minimi, it's an RPD. The western ones are very difficult and detailed to make so I just went with a lot of foreign stuff, as you will notice.

Sharpshooter rifles:
(https://i.imgur.com/hM11YFl.png)
C14 Timberwolf
To accompany the C7A1, this Canadian military bolt action rifle returns, now with a supressor cause I didn't have a better ref that had no supressor. This makes it the first supressed weapon in Rimmu-Nation 2.

(https://i.imgur.com/TvaSJhN.png)
GOL Magnum

(https://i.imgur.com/RJ7qXoK.png)
SV-98

(https://i.imgur.com/C2JcuiE.png)
M82A1
Main event of the sharpshooter rifles added, none other than your Barrett .50 Cal M82A1/M107. It has a reduced cooldown from it's 1.2 counterpart since it is semi auto and will have a faster rate of fire than the Desert Tech HTI (which I had to buff the range of a bit since it was 2 ranges off this M82A1)

(https://i.imgur.com/oadosTG.jpg)

Launchers
(https://i.imgur.com/bqt2e30.png)
M79
Developed as a better man-portable solution from the Bazooka back in the day, lots more interesting facts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk1R2oY4_VA&ab_channel=ForgottenWeaponsForgottenWeaponsVerified

This design was later improved with the China Lake grenade launcher

(https://i.imgur.com/98k8WhW.png)
RPG-7
Well guys I didn't wanna leave your pawns with lack of firepower so here is the launcher complete with its own custom projectile texture:
(https://i.imgur.com/3DOdz55.png)

Grenade:
(https://i.imgur.com/bfvzSsI.png)
M84 stun grenade
Last but not least, finally added the stun grenade that has been there for ages. Removed the apparel/belt system for grenades for now for simplicity.

Hello, thank you! Have decided to add all of those un-added weapons in this latest update now, hope you enjoy!

Quote from: Crosspass on May 30, 2021, 01:05:06 AM

2. will there be a chance for the battle dress on page 3 to be an actual mod? i know its a joke but i am interested.

Hello Crosspass, welcome to the forums!

1. I have thought about it, however we've had this issue before when I started modding in A17-B18 where people would have body armour that has way more protection than powered armors due to them using Hyperweave or other modded textiles. I've ultimately put it on hold due to that issue.
2. It was a submission for an Itzal contest, unfortunately too detailed for me to have to do for all body types and doesn't fit the mod series anyway (Sadly didn't win the contest too by the way) so it's just there as display of progression in the posts.

---

Off to relax guys. Updates have been 2 weeks in the making, sometimes sacrificing sleep time like a silly despite waking up 0700 the next morning. Need to lay down modding more and more and focus on fitness and my job. I also wanna add that I gotten better with the weapon art since the style is settling in more to be balanced between detailed and vanilla while I've increased in the speed of making them. I'm still dreading to do the fan favourites since they're the most detailed.

Will check back later folks, take care.

I always thought berets look a bit like chef hat. Many weapons from this update aren't exactly "foreign" to me since I'm not american or something, heh. Glad for the new items, hoping raiders won't spam RPG like crazy and ruin the day. Cheers. And who's Mia Khalifa by the way?

Uncle Boris, ex-KGB comes out of retirement to open his services to all. He has a "used furniture" store which has some hardware at the back that has all the equipment you need to begin clandestine operations.

Have a gander at his current line of products!

Barrack Bed
Same stats as the normal bed but more beautiful to look at due to it's rigid hospital corners and lack of creases. Immaculately made bed.

Folding chair
Many of you may remember this thing giving lots of big burly men concussions in professional wrestling or just as a chair in general. Stuffable chair, same stats as dining chair but lighter and takes longer to make.

Folding Table
"DUDLEY, GET THE TAABLLEEE!" Cheap build table, takes longer to make, easier to break than your normal 1x2 table.

Trash Can
Does nothing, looks pretty and is stuffable. Decorative prop.

Mission Board
You know what it is folks. Coded exactly the same way as it was, the mission board allows you to start missions at the cost of 500 silver. Currently needs more work. Ambient soundtrack changed to the Black Ops cold war soundtrack by Jack Wall. "Bell's Theme"

You can listen to it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnfaU3dMoMs&ab_channel=MarcTatossianMarcTatossian

I cut it in half so it doesn't take too much memory, music fades halfway through and loops. Note that having this turned on with the 1.2 Mission Board version will cause conflicts.

Floodlight
30 glow radius, consumes 40 watts of power.

FIRMAN 3650 Generator
Art done by SirLalaPyon, joins our team officially. Heck yeah. Sketchfab reference by Fabio Orsi.
Can generate 3650 W for you, more efficient in fuel consumption than the chemfuel generator in vanilla by 0.5,  however has a smaller fuel capacity at just 20 which means you have to fill it up more regularly. IRL the thing needs refuelling after about 14 hours of use, but in-game its 5 in-game days just because I don't want you poor folks refuelling it everyday. Thankfully the model type is ambiguous as it is not the same scale as the reference used.

Can be hauled and repositions unlike stationary generators.

(https://i.imgur.com/NH5NxJp.jpg)

But wait.. There's more!

More textures by SirLalaPyon, the man the myth the legend has delivered.

Panasonic television
In-between of the tube television and the flat screen, more joy increase and wider watch radius by 1 tile. Can't really go beyond that.

(https://i.imgur.com/DA8szZd.png)
DEWEY 2KW Generator
Has half of the fuel capacity that FIRMAN 3650 has and only delivers 2KW fuel. Where it shines is it's fuel consumption rate being very low, so despite you having to constantly refuel, you are saving the most chemfuel using these.

Also has -30 beauty due to it's noise. IRL you have to wear ear defenders around generators, it's a PPE used by engineers in the military because the generators can mess your hearing up. That's how loud they are. The FIRMAN 3650 is more quiet so it's got less beauty penalty than this DEWEY.

Future plans:
- Comms radio
- More beds, chairs etc.
- More generators
- Sheets/curtains that can divide rooms
- HESCO and other types of walls/fortifications
- Barricades, I.E. Blast Wall and barbed wire (barbed wire will be a normal wall, no damage due to lack of coding support)
- Laptop that can be placed on any surface that acts as a comms console
- More loose props that can go on tables, I.E. files, paperwork, desk lamps etc.
- Props such as camera, recording devices, (green screen?) and whatever if possible.

Bottom priority due to lack of coding support or budget:
- Training related buildings/furniture
- Radio that can be placed on any surface, will play a few songs. Other songs will be add-on separate mods

Booker
Booker Dewitt's hairstyle from Bioshock Infinite, this completes the Bioshock set for me as Elizabeth and Booker's hairs are added. I'm aware Elizabeth has a ton of hairs because there's like an infinite version of her out there, but I am unwilling to do those as of now due to the amount of other hairs I have to do.

Farah
Farah Karim's hairstyle from Modern Warfare 2019/Warzone, with this I believe I've done all female character hairs from that game and I can finally move on to something else like resident evil

Ian
Ian McCollum's hairstyle from Forgotten Weapons for you fellers out there who are a big fan. You can now fight off raiders with rare weapons while Ian reviews them. This is the main event of the hair mod update besides Farah and Chigurh's hair.

Summary:
Our new hair count is:
- 26 Male hairstyles
- 25 Female hairstyles

This makes Chicken Mitchell² hairstyles have a head count of 51 hairs total, just 16 more hairs away from beating the original hair mod's number.

Current planned hairstyles, may change anytime due to circumstances:
- Blade runner hairs (2 characters)
- Metal Gear Solid hairs (?? characters)
- Resident Evil (?? characters)
- Katniss Everdeen
- Rambo, John McClaine, Terminator hairstyles
- Duke Nukem hair
- Half Life hairs (2-3 characters)

Farah's headscarf from Modern Warfare 2019/Warzone, however in this case named as a generic shemagh head scarf. The top white part is masked to be colorable for variety when spawning on other pawns.

GP-5 gasmask
Fiendakko delivers another epic texture, a new GP-5 gasmask. I think it looks better than my old one if you ask me. Has 7% more toxic sensitivity protection than the P-1944 gasmask, though this one doesn't do as well in hotter environments and is slightly heavier, it protects you better in the cold as well.

VTAC battle belt
VTAC or Viking Tactical battle belt setup I found online. Another work by Fiendakko, did a wonderful job. Now we have two options for battle belts, the other one being a thrown together setup consisting of UK products, while this one is more on the American end.

5.11 RUSH 12 backpack
Last but not least, had to add another backpack or it won't feel like a proper update. 5.11 RUSH 12 in this new addition, can carry up to 35 KG in-game. RUSH 24 carries 40 KG, realistically the RUSH 12 would only be able to carry up to 20L along with the other backpacks but I went and added some extra space. May think about nerfing everything later on, but will let you guys decide if you're fine with how things are now.

I think the mass of objects in game are kinda out of whack anyway, was personally struggling to fit 20L in my Motherlode during a TAB last week Monday so I am thinking about nerfing all backpacks to be a bit more realistic.

That's me folks. Lots of progression, leave is over so back to the grind and stacking bricks. I'll see you all on the other side. Update too longer than expected, been working at it since yesterday and ran to commission some good artists like SirLalaPyon for rush work with furniture so I can have a good start for Uncle Boris' furnitures.

I always thought berets look a bit like chef hat. Many weapons from this update aren't exactly "foreign" to me since I'm not american or something, heh. Glad for the new items, hoping raiders won't spam RPG like crazy and ruin the day. Cheers. And who's Mia Khalifa by the way?

Hello mate, good to see you again! Yeah it looks like a Chef's hat if you don't shape it like we do here. The British Army shapes their beret and so does the US, but we all have our own methods. I think the Russian military wears them as-is or so, but its clear they don't wanna look like the western guys with how they wear it.

RPG is tagged to spawn on raiders that spawn with rocket launchers like triple rocket launcher and doomsday launcher. It is rare yes, but they still come by and ruin your day if you aren't properly equipped.

As for your final question, she was a former pornographic actress and she has since come out to speak out against the industry and how she regretted being in that line of work.

See you next time my friend

Great update.
Blessed be gun jesus.

Those berets really meana lot to people, don't they?
Regarding RPG's, I'm more concerned not with being properly equipped, but with them having infinite ammo unlike vanilla ones. Taking on a single rocket and resisting a constant supressive fire of friggin rockets is quite a difference, I'd say. And yeah, I didn't check ingame so I have no actual idea if your RPGs are single-use or infinite. Speaking on the assumption here, cause I remember having such problem a year ago, not sure if it was even your mod.

P.S.: Nice GP-5 there. I remember having to wear one during some training stuff in school. Damn thing made me sound like Darth Vader and the lenses got misted or something near instantly. Almost sure it wasn't supposed to work this way (since it didn't on anybody else but me), but who would give a shit, eh?

Here we go bois, another update for you lads. Sadly intended to do a lot more this weekend but I am just one man these past few days so I can't do as much as I could with the time I was given. Spent all of Friday and Saturday, even some of my remaining time today to finish what you see here now. I will work on Clothing and Furniture next, but these new features are here.

AUG A1
AUG A1 also known as StG 77, Austrian made bullpup with the scope attached returns for you cold war era lovers

(https://i.imgur.com/e81I8ru.png)
M60
My personal opinion to be the main event of this mod, the M60 GPMG returns in all of it's glory. Get some!

(Note: I do not endorse war crimes involving gunning down farmers and/or innocent people, just good acting)

(https://i.imgur.com/H6E3dWQ.png)
PSL 54
Romania doesn't make SVDs. This is the PSL 54, very similar in terms of looks with the SVD and in terms of stats, very similar also but not a complete clone of each other. Was too lazy to do very detailed western DMRs so enjoy another Eastern European marksman rifle

(https://i.imgur.com/6SEQ2LZ.png)
Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1910
Goodluck writing that every time. "The World's Finest Rifle" (Is it? Thought that was the SA80  8) 8)). Very expensive irl and rare these days from what I've read,  this one is modified to use 7.92x57mm Mauser for convenience so it has the same damage as the Kar98k in terms of stats because 9.7x57mm Mannlicher-Schoenauer cartridges are very difficult to research about and I honestly couldn't be bothered. From what I read they are "Indistinguishable" despite some small differences in size.

The Mannlicher-Schoenauer which I am beginning to dislike typing about over and over again because of it's long name, was meant to be a scopeless bolt action rifle, but after reading about it's history and coolness, I decided to add a scope and make it a sniper rifle, using an official Mannlicher-Schoenauer scope from another picture. This could be a nice alternative for you guys waiting for the Mosin Nagant or the Kar98k in the mod.

M60 Mounted version
A GPMG mounted turret is finally available, for you guys who can't afford the cost of M2 Browning and M134 Minigun ammunition changes in steel, here comes a more low-end and cost friendly M60 for your defenses.

May do PKM later and the NSV, no promises but I am aware some people want to use non-western turrets as well

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing
- M1 Helmet texture cleaned up in display mode, bothered me

---

Faction - Rangers
- Trader price for armor is no longer expensive
- More components, food and medicine stocks
- More apparel in trader stocks spawned

That's all for this week folks. Off to spend the rest of my Sunday playing Warzone, if I get too angry which I always will, I'll get to some textures for you guys. Cheerio!

Hey I totally care. Also the cooldown of RPG-7 is a lot longer, but yeah it is still mucho infinite ammo and can spawn in rare occasions for pirates.

I do remember the old issue, was about Umbra Company using them. The difference is they had units that spawned with nothing but the RPG-7, while the one in this mod is tagged for heavy weapon pirates and it has the max weapon budget for them, which makes it less likely than before to spawn

Canvas bed
The canvas bed returns, now without a pillow and the extra cool pockets. Added the more common version, less comfortable but takes less resources to build than the normal bed. May add the old version later with the pillow and side pouches.

Hey guys, exhausted. Didn't wanna leave you guys out with just a bug fix update so I went and did a quick 1 hour job for the M16A2. Hope you guys like this new weapon. Small updates cause I'm working this week. Marginal gains right?

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing

Going to bed folks, early start tommorrow.

Update 2

Spoiler alert: Wasted half an hour of my life instead of going to bed because of the bloody magazine.

So upon closer inspection, magazine isn't a magpul or a STANAG and I went looking for it. Seems to be an airsoft magazine. I touched up the magazine to look like a STANAG because I'm not gonna have it from gun enthusiasts who will later point it out because my brain will melt

Rimmu-Nation² Weapons:
(https://i.imgur.com/gH2H0CZ.png)

- M16A2 magazine of the texture fixed

Fun fact: Icing on the cake was finding out the final version of the M16A2 wasn't saved so I had to flippin go over and fix the rasterized copy that was saved in the mod folder. I don't know how that happened but if I don't get to bed within the next half an hour I'm gonna be upset.

- Footlocker added

(https://i.imgur.com/uuwuJSs.png)(https://i.imgur.com/aZqHcxc.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Zn2w7oK.png)

Footlocker

Classic cold war era footlocker returns in a more accurate representation as seen in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (though not exactly as the ones used in the movie), keep the thing locked or someone's gonna find your jelly donut inside lads. Did the thing in x4 scale in terms of art of the normal dresser, only for it to be shrunk so small in-game to an accurate footlocker size as I've seen them in pictures and the famous movie scene with Pvt Pyle and Gunny.

Stuffable, when made of wood it comes in green like the canvas bed and canvas chair so you can get that homey military feel. Unfortunately not olive green but I think that's fine if you guys don't complain. If you complain, I'm gonna be upset. As quick comparison to the 1.2 version besides art, it costs significantly less resources to make and has less health. It gives the same amount of comfort as the dresser at 0.5 now instead of the 0.10 it gave before to be a bit more realistic than previous.

(https://i.imgur.com/xIt3SkY.jpg)

Comes with patches built in the mod to work with vanilla beds but no other modded beds including the 1.2 version of military furniture mod or vanilla expanded since they'd need separate patches which I don't have time for atm.

I want to do more later but obviously out of time as usual. If you lot don't mind, I'll make like Wyatt above and get to bed after ironing my PT shorts. Wouldn't want the PTI getting upset seeing the state of creased up PT shorts in this heat cause I'm probably not gonna make it for future updates if it isn't ironed before I get to bed.

See you guys next time

EDIT: Note to self, maybe add a lock later for the footlocker, other variants or leave as is if too busy and/or nobody complains

Melee

Trench Knife issued during WWII by US Armed Forces. Hookin' and a jabbin', stickin' and a stabbin'. Oh yeah, Here we go.

Maximus Spatha
Known in-game as just "Spatha" which is a Roman army sword replica made to copy the sword of Maximus in the famous movie "Gladiator". I was told it's the bigger version of the Gladius since I incorrectly called it a Gladius at first.

Are you not entertained?!

AS VAL
AS VAL returns, a Russian special purpose weapon. Has a built-in supressor, as you may know supressors aren't a feature in-game so it's just sound effects.

Machinegun

M249
Finally stopped procrastinating some of the fan favourites, highly detailed weapon such as the P90 and this M249 was done while I was watching the 1996 version of Gotti. Was a good film.

Sharpshooter

G28
Main event of this mod, the German army designated marksman rifle returns, has been the hardest weapon I've made so far in terms of details with the DDM4 coming second. I have become more confident doing the weapons so we have a lot of fan favourites that are highly detailed this update. This G28 took 2-3 hours straight to do.

M40A5
Finally the M40 USMC made bolt action rifle returns, needed to square off the number of new weapons to 10 so this was the one I wanted to throw in to finish off this update.

John Wick
Starting with this update's main event, the John Wick hairstyle returns in theme of the action heroes for this season's male hairstyles.

"First they stole his dog, then they kill his car.."

McClane
John McClane from Die Hard's hairstyle is here ready to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yippie Ka-yay, I have a muffalo ho-ho-ho.

Rambo
John Rambo's hairstyle from Rambo II/First Blood. I just noticed a trend with these Hollywood movies having "John" as a generic first name, any Johns here that are budding to be action heroes?

This update didn't come to rescue Rambo from the pirates, this is here to rescue the pirates from him.

Scarface
You frick with him, you're fricking with the best. Tony Montana's hair from Scarface comes to Chicken Mitchell to say hello to my little friend.

Tyler
Tyler Durden's hairstyle from Fight Club comes to Chicken Mitchell, and the first rule is you can't talk about it.

(https://i.imgur.com/nnyS8FQ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/2hAMK5e.png)(https://i.imgur.com/o7OKwBA.png)
Terminator
Last but not least.. Terminator hairstyle from Terminator II, sported by Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, the Terminator.

Hasta la vista, baby.

Female hairstyles:

Taking a break from female characters in video games, I've decided to do celebrity hairstyles for the females since the male hairs added in this update were also from celebrities, albeit named after their characters in their movies.

(https://i.imgur.com/wVI7MjF.png)(https://i.imgur.com/fZrwDPh.png)(https://i.imgur.com/azM5KDP.png)
Diana
Princess Diana's iconic hairstyle. The late princess. Fun fact, I worked in Chelsea and Westminster hospital which Princess Diana used to visit while she was still alive. She used to donate a lot of money to help develop the hospital, one of the senior staff members spoke to me about how she was fit and young, in her prime and spent a lot of her time in the nearby gym and yet despite having beauty, youth and wealth she always seemed very sad and had a heavy look on her face. Was sad to hear for me, but it just goes to show folks. The whole world isn't the medicine we need to be happy. Was a conversation brought about when she saw the small pocket Bible I was carrying, and I suppose it reminded her of Princess Diana cause she prayed for her since according to this woman, Princess Diana was friendly to the staff and spoke to them like normal people and not like you'd expect from a royal.

I digress, thought I'd brought it up since I remembered the sad thoughts as I drew the hair.

(https://i.imgur.com/0weTkrN.png)(https://i.imgur.com/5SIvqXk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/kQMFIiZ.png)
Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn's hairstyle from War and Peace, 1958 film. To those who don't know Miss Hepburn is a late Hollywood actress along with Miss Monroe who was very well known during their day and were always spoken about in terms of beauty and talent.

(https://i.imgur.com/2Q7pwaa.png)(https://i.imgur.com/KuVRJ8p.png)(https://i.imgur.com/nk894Tr.png)
Monroe
Marilyn Monroe's iconic hairstyle, a late highly acclaimed Hollywood actress. I'd say her hair is the main event of the female hairs because I am most happy with it's accuracy. Decided to call it "Monroe" instead of "Marilyn" since I don't want it getting confused with the rockstar who I don't like. The full name also would be too long so I just went with her last name.

(https://i.imgur.com/KMC21rE.png)(https://i.imgur.com/OYujfW9.png)(https://i.imgur.com/6BQyEvl.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ZWKJafc.png)
Orin Julie
Orin Julie's hairstyle, to those who don't know her, she is a famous instagram model that likes weapons, also serving in the IDF. She also dresses half naked most of the time to highlight her physical features and I was very uncomfortable drawing her hair while at the same time averting my eyes from staring anywhere else that wasn't her hair or the weapon systems she's holding. I don't recommend you google her if you want to respect women and also know what's good for your soul.

And before you ask, I only heard about her today (as of this post) because I was looking for other models besides Alex Zedra who would fit in the mod. Don't give me that look Skynert, I can see your judging eyes from here mate.

Rihanna
Oh-nah-nah, what's her name? Rihanna's iconic short hairstyle. She is a famous pop-star, to those who don't know who she is. You've probably heard her songs countless times in the barber store, the car radio or some night club and you just didn't know.

---

That's all for today. I want to do clothes and furniture but these new stuff took all Saturday and the remaining time I had Friday. I've began commissions with the following people:
Erok901 - Fence wall
TMC - 2 body armours, 1 backpack
Fiendakko - 3 Chest rigs
SirLalaPyon - 2 new generators, 1 new television
Taranchuk - Arrest without prison room mod (mod name not decided yet)

The g28 looks magnificent.
Out of interest, how much does a comission from you runs?

Hey all. Deepest apologies for an error I've made with the SAIGA-12. I've had to change it's defname which means errors for you lot. Please destroy all the SAIGA 12 in your map, then once you reload your save you can ignore the errors. Hopefully it doesn't cause you guys too much issues.

Just a note that this change won't affect you if you don't have the updates from above installed yet as of 20 minutes ago of this post's original post time.

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons
- SAIGA-12 defname changed from Rimmu-Nation 1.2 version to RH2 version to avoid mod conflicts and keep consistency in naming
- Five Seven pistol texture scaled down to look slightly smaller

Off to the nitty gritty of the new stuff lads

(https://i.imgur.com/YpQ6q2J.jpg)
Uncle Boris' - Used Furniture mod
- New furniture added
- Panasonic TV texture moved around to better fit in-game tiles
- Canvas bed rest effectiveness increased slightly
- Other generator sized rescaled slightly to look smaller
- Trash can can now be minified

SirLalaPyon, talented rimworld artist returns to give us some more new hardware for your HQ.

(https://i.imgur.com/N6d3XtX.png)(https://i.imgur.com/3FbzGNF.png)
MEP-007B military generator
So the big generator returns, however as an actual reference and not just a recolored civilian one. This generator IRL generates 100KW of power but lasts for around 14 hours before needing a refuel. In-game it's back to being 5KW as of 1.2 and this time instead of a low 3.0 fuel consumption rate, it's gone up to 4.5 similar to the normal vanilla chemfuel generator. It's fuel capacity has gone down from 100 to 50 only which means more frequent refueling. Seen in-game as 11 days on full capacity.

Much needed nerfing folks, if you want the old performance you can stick to the smaller generators but it will mean you have to refuel them more regularly and build a lot of them.

(https://i.imgur.com/WSP3c36.png)
DEFENDER 1.0 portable generator
So to get rid of the old portable generator which was a non-existent model (of that size), here is a real-life portable generator complete with carrying handles and little bitty wheels. Generates 1KW of power and has a whopping 8 fuel capacity which combined with the low fuel consumption rate this has (2.7 fuel consumption) could last for 3 days.

In comparison to the old version, it only generated 750W, has 2.0 fuel consumption and lasted significantly longer including that version being cheaper to build with resources and had 20 fuel capacity or so. To cut my waffling short, I have nerfed the old portable version and this one also looks cooler.

(https://i.imgur.com/pdgtMFF.png)(https://i.imgur.com/aV3cvgZ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/CIt7T9H.png)
Panasonic LCD TV
Okay lads, so it looks like I'm plugging for Panasonic but SirLalaPyon just happened to use Panasonic as reference again. This TV has the same stats as the flatscreen but more costly due to the stuffable table along with having an increased joy speed gain. I gave him a reference and explained what I wanted and he did it beautifully.

(https://i.imgur.com/hQZTlaV.png)(https://i.imgur.com/lstuGjW.png)(https://i.imgur.com/8REEFra.png)
Lounge Armchair
A commonly seen lounge armchair here in the WRVS buildings, basically the chill out spot with consoles and a bunch of games for when people wanna hang around and play pool or whatever. Been restricted to access due to COVID recently. You guys can now have a bit more variety in chairs. It is only 0.02 more comfortable than the normal armchair but everything else is almost identical.

SirLalaPyon has been carrying this furniture mod so I didn't wanna look like I'm slacking in front of you guys, I decided to contribute this armchair and the light below. You're welcome  8)

(https://i.imgur.com/dpvWa9e.png)
Holmo floor lamp
So to match the armchair and the new LCD TV for that WRVS rec room feel for your troops, flippin got an IKEA made odd looking floor lamp. Much modern much wow. Was meant to be stuffable but the game is making it hard for me to make this stuffable so I just gave up on it and let it be one colour.

Basically this is like a normal lamp in glow radius, costs more steel and more beautiful to look at.

Did not add colored light versions.

(https://i.imgur.com/71ds2ls.jpg)

That's all from me folks. Fiendakko delivered a lot of new awesome clothes and another set commissioned by Morphium for the cause, so shout out to them and much thanks for the donations of new content that would've otherwise costed me a fortune in commissions. I'm back to work on Monday, gonna be dragged into remedial PT cause I'm fat so the PTI noticed me struggling being in the rear during the Thursday run. This means more time away from mods and relaxation. See you lot then, will wait for TMC and etc before I update clothes since my remaining time will be to get ready for tommorrow and relax on the modding since I've beend doing these all weekend without much breaks.

Out of interest, how much does a comission from you runs?

Thanks my friend! Just caught me as I was uploading a new update.

A commission from me? Been avoiding doing any atm since I have been low on time sadly. I know commission artists barely get updates or mods out because they are high on demand. I have been spending all my time doing these updates and been getting extra help spending my own money for these guys so sadly I don't have enough free time to do my own commissions.

To give you an idea this is some rates from people that you see in this mod:

SirLalaPyon
$5 per texture from each furniture
- I.E. TV has 3 textures which means $15 for this one feature

Fiendakko
$7 for backpacks (he's giving me a discount due to my bulk orders)
$15 for chest rigs (he's giving me a discount due to my bulk orders)
$20 for body armours

TMC
$20 for chest rigs and body armor
$7 for backpacks

JangoD'Soul
Juggernaut suit costed $75 total including helmet
Ironman suit costed $65 total including helmet
(no longer doing commissions)

DanDMan
$5 per texture
I.E. backpack has 2 textures, he charged me 10 USD

In summary, the more high in demand they get and the higher quality their work is, the more expensive they get. I would probably charge somewhere in between fiendakko and TMC since I feel Jango charges a lot, I do understand his quality is top notch but I would get a lot of commissions under my belt before going that high. Other than that I haven't decided on prices yet mate, if I were to do commissions that is.

I have spent a ton for the team, over 500 USD easy. Been enjoying my hobby but I need to slow down on the spending and the time and have more discipline to do more PT, otherwise I will be set aside in my line of work. Don't wanna be the guy who can't do the job and potentially get someone in danger (including myself) because I couldn't keep up. I digress Mr. Raccoon, you know me waffling all the time. Hope you enjoy the new stuff!

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons
- 7 new weapons

Gone home this weekend, very nice to relax for once. Did less work because why not, which means still no progress on the new apparel I've been wanting to do. Decided to get something done and go for the easy line of weapons and hairstyles again.

(https://i.imgur.com/ufMuAVn.png)
Katana (Hanzo)
The Hattori Hanzo made katanas from Kill Bill, this one is specifically based from Budd's sword. Used a real life line of replicas, which were actually usable as swords and not just as a display. There you have it folks, another variation of the katana

(https://i.imgur.com/ADJG1rv.png)
MP-412 REX
Russian made revolver returns

(https://i.imgur.com/a5ZELKv.png) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edK2aPewYHI&ab_channel=JigsawjokerMerriamJigsawjokerMerriam)
Thompson SMG
"I believe you, but my Tommy Gun don't!"

Give those pirates to the count of 10 to get their ugly, yellow, no good keister out of your property before you pop them full of led. ONE-TWO-TEN!

(https://i.imgur.com/00koTDG.png)
USAS-12
Another semi-automatic shotgun, made by Daewoo from the good ol' South Korea.

(https://i.imgur.com/7kbnJvV.png)
Ksp 58
Swedish made variant of the FN MAG which is used by their armed forces as the GPMG. I was gonna do M240 but to my plot twist the M240 is pretty much the FN MAG with a US designated name and I never knew this whole time.

(https://i.imgur.com/jwW75XT.png)
CZ 805 BREN A2
CZ BREN returns, going less nuts on attachments cause I'm starting to just want simple weapons that do the job. This is our 13th rifle, wanted to do more weapons this week but I'm out of time and patience.

(https://i.imgur.com/p7S7ton.png)
VSS Vintorez
Finally the main event of what you've all been waiting for, the Russian VSS Vintorez returns in all of its fully automatic glory to be reunited with it's cousin the AS VAL.

(https://i.imgur.com/QNLaG3O.jpg)
Chicken Mitchell² - Hairstyles

(https://i.imgur.com/DWJTLnI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/EbBYnQA.png)(https://i.imgur.com/CZ8LL69.png)
Nobody
"Who me? ..I'm nobody." Added Bob Odenkirk's character "Hutch" from the film "Nobody" because I love Better Call Saul and it's even better that he's in an action movie now that is loosely based on John Wick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZti8QKBWPo&ab_channel=UniversalPicturesUniversalPicturesVerified

Here's the trailer to those who don't know what this hair is from. Didn't do much hairs this update, only 4 in total but I consider this to be my favourite one of this update.

(https://i.imgur.com/Rb2q36Z.png)(https://i.imgur.com/qmAqJI3.png)(https://i.imgur.com/83VakLO.png)
N Fakhri
Nargis Fakhri's short hairstyle, an American/Bollywood actress. Was looking for a list of hairs to do but they all seemed too long/complicated so I ran into this person's hair. Very nice change from the ponytails and such, been wanting more loose hairs around.

(https://i.imgur.com/7fsydyV.png)(https://i.imgur.com/eunPJMx.png)(https://i.imgur.com/zQQVceG.png)(https://i.imgur.com/pFbwdFI.png)
T Swift
One of Taylor Swift's many famous short hairstyles is added into the mod. Now you can have your servicemen pawntypes post a video on youtube or instagram asking her out on a date for the dance ball or whatever, only to be rejected and not replied to

(https://i.imgur.com/9Sg5muk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/oBSfmm8.png)(https://i.imgur.com/69J9ioI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/9tFNgsG.png)
Zoller
Fredrick Zoller's hairstyle from Inglorious Basterds, you can be a real Fredrick Zoller now from this range and flippin star in a propaganda film where you shoot lots of enemies and be a war hero and call it "American Sniper".

(https://i.imgur.com/ftKCiMt.jpg)

Note to self: Update KBA Railgun later and raise it's price from rangers faction mod.

Gotta go guys. Wanted to do more clothing or furniture but they take significantly longer to make so I just went with what was faster for me to get done this weekend. Back to the grind, then we'll see what updates can come this week. A buildup of new apparel in Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing will come along in a bit but not today or possibly during the working days.

EDIT: If you were quick at drawing the download button from the initial few minutes of this post, please re-download since I forgot to actually upload the updates. My bad Gs  :o

Got sent to isolation during monday with my entire engineer course cause two lads tested positive with us in a classroom and we were in contact with them despite most of us being negative for the LFT. We get tested every week and now we're all on a 10 day isolation. I'd be jumping in joy if the food didn't seem like airline food. People are scared to drop us food from the store just across the road of this isolation block because of possible repercussions even though it's actually allowed, because chain of command can be very trigger happy on the yelling and sanctions which may include getting charged or losing your weekend, but at the same time I understand there's a virus and they're trying to prevent infection.

(https://i.imgur.com/OsBammr.jpg)

With that, there's been a lot of work going into some big updates coming along but I wanna release what is currently finished instead of waiting. I also wanted to immediately roll out some fixes that weren't visible when royalty DLC and other mods are enabled to sort it out for you guys without the DLC.

Without further ado here are the new weapons! Lots of high quality fan favourites from the old mod and other games coming in this one so buckle up.

(https://i.imgur.com/NHoWl3N.png)
DMM Fly Ice Axe
Ice Axe! does a lot of pointed damage but not a lot of blade as a normal axe. I know this may be silly but also added mining speed. I wanted a unique-ish new weapon and it would go well on a Lara Croft kind of start/character. I later find out her axe is more resembling of the DMM Rebel but whatever, could always add it later.

(https://i.imgur.com/8Sq4Wdx.png)
Glock 18
Going up in range, three burst Glock 18. Less accurate than its Glock 17 relative but it's on the fun switch so who cares right? First kinda full auto/burst fire pistol I've done. I have been itching and intending to do the USP 45 but I procrastinated and gave you guys another Glock instead cause things I really wanna do, I find intimidating so I gotta psych myself up by doing other cool things first

(https://i.imgur.com/tAL96uM.png)
MP7A1
First of the weapons I did this week, all of which has been very detailed and difficult to do. The P90's competition is here and ready to be used for counter terrorist operations or your more miserable and less ally guard duty by the gate to catch out squaddies with outdated ID

(https://i.imgur.com/1g2jPW0.png)
SPAS-12
Yes, the stock is folded and this may upset a lot of you. I wanted it folded. Sorry, I said it lads, there you go. I've done folded stocks on Uzi and some of the rifles you see here so I wanted a good looking unique shape for shotguns because we will see more black tactical ones for military use that won't look like the SPAS with a folded stock. It still has the same stats as the 1.2 version so it's just aesthetic for me. Don't get upset okay guys, please refrain from having your heart shattered to pieces by my design choice.

(https://i.imgur.com/rixImW4.png)
AA-12
The AA-12 is here, returning as the crowned shotgun with full auto. I chose to give it a BF4 sound effect rather than it's old one taken from Tomb Raider since that Tomb Raider SFX sounded like a video game and not like how I've heard AA-12s shot in actual videos of them being fired.

(https://i.imgur.com/JsWZNyf.png)
RPK
RPK, would surprise some of you to find out it is a new addition since it wasn't present in the 1.2 Rimmu-Nation. It is the original one chambered in 7.62x39mm, not the RPK 74. I've read it was made as the LMG to phase out the RPD.

(https://i.imgur.com/6SBlCL2.png)
ACE 52
The IWI Galil ACE, a modern adaptation of the Galil to be lighter and more accurate. This 52 version is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, another new addition to the mod. Yes I still wanna add the old Galil later for you Galil enthusiasts. Like the SPAS-12 but arguably less abominable to some of you, the stock isn't extended but we can assume its less uncomfortable on a rifle cause it's still on your shoulder.

(https://i.imgur.com/BuW5EcM.png)
AK74
AK74 returns, to those who don't know it uses a smaller caliber than the AK47. It was at an experimental phase during the soviet-afghanistan war and were handed over to Spetsnaz who were also a newly formed group at the time, with the AK74 finding its share of malfunctions. I'm not gonna have it from anyone having a go at the SA80 cause it shows we all make mistakes yeah, even the best of us (looking at you Mr. Briggs)

(https://i.imgur.com/PS8aOt9.png)
M14 DMR
To those who have been waiting for an American DMR, here's the M14 back at it again. Gave it the same BF4 SFX as the Mk 14 EBR since the one it was using came from Left 4 Dead and much like the AA-12 SFX from Tomb Raider sounded too video game-y to me so I abandoned those sounds and deleted them.

(https://i.imgur.com/NJ8aPId.png)
PSG-1
Another HK weapon cause we haven't had enough of them yet. The PSG-1 made for the GSG 9, incredibly rare in real life but over in-game you can make your own and find some higher level mercenaries using them. Thanks to Rimmu-Nation, you can get your grandma one, or even your dog for dog's day to celebrate the day you met!

I'd say it was hard for me to say which weapon was the main event for this mod since they were all highly detailed, difficult to do and were at one point my personal favourite in some other game.

That's all folks. Tired doing these, more handful than I expect. Currently on hairs which is what I try to do in a sequence:

Weapons, hairs, apparel, buildings.

Apparel mod is awaiting some bulk amount of new stuff.

Awh what the heck, lemme give you some teasers for the new stuff, some are awaiting to be done and some are already done which needs to be coded.

(https://i.imgur.com/2he8m5d.png)
Done 2 walls for me, two fenced with barbed wire for Uncle Boris. Would have been 3 but unfortunately budget got shot down due to a certain incident back home which also put a halt to about 3-5 other commissions.

The barbed wire and metal fencing done were based on what is used in the military camps here in UK, though I don't know how much liberties Erok has taken from my direction. Didn't wanna be too rigid with detail cause then he'd have been unable to do it in vanilla style.

The other guys especially fiendakko has been carrying on the content because I've been busy and I wanted to get these done. The longer the stuff doesn't get done the more it's likely I'll never get them done. Most of the new content are actually donations by fiendakko, done free of cost. Morphium who is a big contributor much like Sheriff for RH2 has commissioned a riot gear from fiendakko and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Just stand by for the new stuff, will probably be clothing and hairs coming to be updated next. I'll do buildings next cause I have plans for it that may be difficult to implement. I want a comms console laptop and that's an obstacle atm among the other fixes and content that needs to be doing.

Hi !
Have you planned to make boots, gloves, and maybe shields (with vanilla expanded framework) in the future ?

Queue Modern Warfare's Season 7 soundtrack folks cause we got a big update.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85VrVOBtRzY&ab_channel=VersusMusicOfficial <- I recommend playing it as you read for +1 morale to your day cause it makes the update look cooler.

WARNING: HK69A1 grenade launcher defname changed, you will receive errors this update. Please remove all of these grenade launchers in your world map to minimise issues before updating!

Apologies for dropping the ball the second time guys, left it with the 1.2 version's defname which I had to change for consistency and obviously to avoid possible mod conflicts. I hope the new stuff makes up for it


The following mods have been updated:
Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons
Chicken Mitchell² - Hairstyles
Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing
Uncle Boris' - Used Furniture
Faction - Rangers


The following mod has been added:
CPERS: Arrest Here

Rimmu-Nation² - Weapons

- New preview art
- FN Five Seven long range buff
- 1 SFX removed
- Mannlicher-Schoenauer projectile changed to an accurate representation by label
- All SFX lowered in volume closer to vanilla levels
- SA80, Glock 17, L96A1 and MP5 textures have been redone
- 20 new weapons

Redone textures

SA80
After close inspection I've noticed the original reference used was an A1 version, the one everyon says to jam as seen from the cocking handle. Almost all other changes to indicate it's an A2 are inside the weapon system. I've decided to not just give it a new handle but do it in the improved style.

After:

Glock 17
After another close inspection, something didn't seem right with the old Glock. It's the magazine. The magazine is that of an airsoft pistol and not an actual 9mm one, so the entire glock had to go. I liked the old design despite looking simple, it is the first ever texture done for this mod ever since the RH2 remaster began but I can't have an obvious airsoft pistol being the thing on Steam release.

Before:
(https://i.imgur.com/l6JGqZy.png)
After:
(https://i.imgur.com/GXYWdWu.png)
L96A1
Old version bothered me due to how dirty and smudged it seemed in comparison to the newer rifles, this was one of the first sniper rifles made that had a lot of detail so I was still getting used to it. The old reference was low resolution which made things harder for me, while the new one is more crisp at the expense of having no bipod.

Before:
(https://i.imgur.com/oTGvcXR.png)
After:
(https://i.imgur.com/W4wY2EK.png)
MP5
Was reluctant about redoing this last one since it wasn't noticeable, but I wasn't happy with the old version's similarity with the L96A1's problem of looking too smudged. Redone all the inner details in the new style.

Fun fact: All of the weapons re-textured are issued in the British Armed forces, with the C8 CQB coming I felt I had to re-inspect them especially since they were some of the first I've made.

New weapons:

(https://i.imgur.com/gxIdGN9.png)
Karambit
Cold Steel Tiger Karambit, just called "Karambit" in-game. Lots of funky looking ones out there thanks to CSGO, thankfully companies who actually intend for them to be used like Cold Steel exist.

(https://i.imgur.com/bjK1XoW.png)
Katana (Fudoshin)
Another Katana, full tang. It's no Hattori Hanzo or Cold Steel, but it has a cool lookin' handle and that's all you could ask for. I also made sure it was a usable Katana that I've used as reference, not a display one for that subtle BTS detail. May be the last Katana variant I do since I don't want the mod overcrowding with katanas unless they look distinguishable.

(https://i.imgur.com/ru4aT18.png)
USP 45
Yo home, is that my pistol? First weapon I've done for this update that was a long time coming ever since all the other iconic HK CQB weapons came out. Same pistol Tom Cruise uses in the film Collateral with his famous "Yo homie, is that my briefcase?" scene as shown by Mr. Vickers here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEZeb5lKPkk&ab_channel=VickersTactical

(https://i.imgur.com/cNM7xdG.png)
P226
The famous P226 returns, known to have been used by the Navy SEALs and the SAS, then again they also probably use Colgate and that doesn't make any of us any more operator. Given it a new sound effect and removed the old CSGO one since it didn't sound right to me. I also decided to use the P226 Legion, which is an upgraded version instead of the original full black service P226 so it's easier to see detail from a distance.

(https://i.imgur.com/wLlBwgj.png)
Model 36
Smith & Wesson Model 36, it is a .38 special revolver like Colt Cobra. Also appears in the film "Joker" being the revolver that ends Frank Murray's career with a bang.

(https://i.imgur.com/O78v00n.png)
PPsh-41
Soviet era SMG returns, was the easiest SMG in terms of detail due to the majority of it's body being wood and not something full of bolts and freakin rails that I have to detail. I am grateful for the Warsaw Pact making very easy to draw weapons because without them I won't be having much to add for this mod

(https://i.imgur.com/fjDe446.png)
Stoeger Coach Gun
Classic western double barrel, it is actually the real life version of the DOOM super shotgun and was the reference for the original 2D sprite. This is now here for you guys who just can't wait for the DOOM mod remake.

(https://i.imgur.com/7MutbBA.png)
Spartan Marine
Discount M1014. This is from Spartan Arms, a 3+1 semi automatic 12G shotgun made for the civilian market. I wanted some more variety in weapons, some world war era and some civilian market ones to diversify our options and make the game feel more like a survival game with the options.

(https://i.imgur.com/LcJpb7v.png)
FAMAS F1
The classic French armed forces service rifle that was later destined to be replaced by HK416, if you look carefully the magazine well can fit a baguette in there in case you run out of ammunition

(https://i.imgur.com/KfXJ23a.png)
C8 CQB
This is what is used by the UKSF, RMP close protection and other urban based units here that get involved in CQB. The closest representation and loadout to what I've seen in use during my time being a SPROG in CQB training fumbling about until they had enough and gave me back an SA80 that I would proceed to miss point blank with.

In-game it simulates being more effective for CQB than the other long rifles in terms of accuracy.

(https://i.imgur.com/e1zGKTd.png)
Lee Enfield Mk III
All the modern weapon systems better back the eff up cause an OG is coming through. Why is the French Foreign Legion changing to the HK416 when you can have this?! Tell me right now!

(https://i.imgur.com/3OejBwG.png)
Mannlicher Ultra Light
Another Steyr Mannlicher rifle, thankfully easier to pronounce this time. A modern Mannlicher rifle, suppressor with a wooden rifle just gave me that prepper or survival vibe besides being easier to do than anything at all with rails and a modern design.

(https://i.imgur.com/SJSUrOs.png)
WA 2000
Semmi automatic sniper rifle, German design, expensive, could've bought yourself a pack of 2 haribos with that money.

(https://i.imgur.com/K4tukWC.png)
M72 LAW

66mm HEAT rocket projectile art:
(https://i.imgur.com/R4JEDn3.png)

The disposable cold war era anti-tank launcher returns being the last new weapon in the list.

Continued..

Did an additional 4 new weapons while this post was under construction in a notepad file.

(https://i.imgur.com/kDuBBG0.png)
Survival Axe (Gerber)
Another Bear Grylls promotional stuff from Gerber. If you guys have any questions feel free to "axe" hehehe

(https://i.imgur.com/m9pktah.png)
STK 100
Rock Island Armory made striker fired pistol, the STK 100. Meant to be a lighter frame and improved pistol based off the Glock. Thought it'd be interested to add in the mod.

(https://i.imgur.com/HvMWh2h.png)
AK 5C
Another weapon issued to the Swiss armed forces. The AK 5C. Carbine appeared in Battlefield 4 and also in RT's old weapon mod. Thought it was a nice throwback.

(https://i.imgur.com/a9Jwrva.png)
L129A1
The British L129A1 Sharpshooter rife, another DMR made by HK. I believe this and the G28 are actually built off the HK417 so it's funny knowing these two very detailed and beautiful looking DMRs I've done are actually the same model with different dress ups

(https://i.imgur.com/MzhoHuB.jpg)

Unreleased:
(https://i.imgur.com/Hee4me5.png)
Browning T-Bolt
Probably never to be released for the mod unless a few of you ask. I wanted another simple iron sight Bolt Action rifle, and it turned out this one was .223 Remington in caliber which I haven't got stats made for. You see a friend called Recon made the stats for all bullets, and he was a former armourer in the Canadian armed forces, so I trust him as the subject matter expert for weapons more than I do myself. If I really had to, I'd guesstimate new calibers for you lads, otherwise please let me know if any of you are interested in this weapon. To put it in perspective, it's closer to the Varmint rifle in Fallout, not very powerful.

This was later replaced by the Lee Enfield since I wanted a new iron sight bolt action so I had to re-introduce that rifle sooner than I wanted, and I had to cut this T-Bolt from the update.

Chicken Mitchell² - Hairstyles

(https://i.imgur.com/fhSvQAv.jpg)

Season 7 update, we have some loose hair from some pop culture characters and mostly video games, with Resident Evil ones making a return.

(https://i.imgur.com/z4nOMn4.jpg)

Resident Evil hairstyles:

(https://i.imgur.com/bKMLs32.png)(https://i.imgur.com/mm81d9R.png)(https://i.imgur.com/w87ZErV.png)(https://i.imgur.com/esBD21v.png)
Ada
Ada Wong's hairstyle from Resident Evil 2 remake.

(https://i.imgur.com/d67Q6Pe.png)(https://i.imgur.com/cJf3VCI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/045oFeR.png)(https://i.imgur.com/mjRww1g.png)
Claire
Claire Redfield, Chris' sister who will continue the lineage's hairstyle has been added. This version is specifically the one in the RE2 remake.

(https://i.imgur.com/9faDaDl.png)(https://i.imgur.com/xJM7PJG.png)(https://i.imgur.com/8uCr3IW.png)(https://i.imgur.com/A3AIecv.png)
Jill
The original Jill Valentine hairstyle returns, to those who preferred the old version.

(https://i.imgur.com/X6c78Vm.png)(https://i.imgur.com/q7bAmAD.png)(https://i.imgur.com/BEpz28a.png)(https://i.imgur.com/U87vH99.png)
Jill 2
Jill Valentine's Resident Evil 3 remake hairstyle, clearly different to the original but subtle enough to make her recognizable

(https://i.imgur.com/fMAZGXr.png)(https://i.imgur.com/KOFSxzf.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Kd1lsJV.png)
Chris
Chris Redfield's hair, Claire's older brother who will chase down Leon S. Kennedy to the ends of the earth. His goals are beyond your understanding. This version is taken specifically from his Resident Evil 7 hairstyle.

(https://i.imgur.com/4QBlyUS.png)(https://i.imgur.com/URasYkL.png)(https://i.imgur.com/7VAmHUd.png)(https://i.imgur.com/xmENjTz.png)
Leon
The backstreet boy Leon S. Kennedy's hairstyle returns, fresh from Resident Evil 2 remake. I must say his new character model reminds me of young Eminem, but I digress. When equipped on a pawn they will ruin their life drinking and trying to find a double agent who keeps stabbing them in a back to ask her out on a date.


(https://i.imgur.com/v0cheHE.jpg)

Rainbow six siege hairstyles:

(https://i.imgur.com/5TpM2jr.png)(https://i.imgur.com/m1aAJvS.png)(https://i.imgur.com/Pn7S75v.png)(https://i.imgur.com/uPGnzko.png)
Caveira
BOPE Operator Caveira's hair from Rainbow Six. Specifically this isn't her original hair, it is instead her elite skin hair. This lady will break laws to interrogate you and ones included in the Geneva convention and laugh about it. Nobody seems to mind just because everyone is gushing over her sports outfit.

(https://i.imgur.com/xJYM2s7.png)(https://i.imgur.com/jZHyodj.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ChbniWk.png)(https://i.imgur.com/zo2yUXI.png)
Dokaebbi
South Korean operator Dokaebbi's hairstyle. A female operator that has a knack for pulling out her iPad to take selfies and upload stuff on TikTok in the middle of a hostage crisis.

(https://i.imgur.com/YQ8nkPP.png)(https://i.imgur.com/cKkBVyO.png)(https://i.imgur.com/hYSJhYe.png)
Ela
Polish operator Ela's hair returns. It's bright and green and clearly she's the Lady Gaga of Rainbow Six cause you're just asking for a headshot.

Other hairstyles (Loose):

Hudson
No not "Black Ops" CIA Hudson, that guy is bald. This is Sheriff Joey Hudson's hairstyle from Far Cry 5 who you later rescue from a hipster living in a bunker and she tries to shank you to death for it.

(https://i.imgur.com/Dmcm3cx.png)(https://i.imgur.com/2txO4Jy.png)(https://i.imgur.com/QR6X8dm.png)(https://i.imgur.com/QdMpvTR.png)
Kidman
Juli Kidman's hairstyle from Evil Within 2 returns, though this time called by her last name instead of "Juli" since she is mostly referred to by her surname.

(https://i.imgur.com/BXFBl6u.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ITO544B.png)(https://i.imgur.com/L8W6f1R.png)(https://i.imgur.com/O4gYp6J.png)
Ramirez
The iconic female soldier from Fortnite "Ramirez".

(https://i.imgur.com/Oekx6LI.png)(https://i.imgur.com/75DY08X.png)(https://i.imgur.com/RVlTWcJ.png)(https://i.imgur.com/fjN4PHB.png)
FPSRussia
Our boy FPSRussia's hairstyle, who isn't really Russian. Was a famous gun youtuber back then, known to have almost died due to some of his wreckless stunts (I.e. flying door almost hitting him) and went to prison irl cause the ATF doesn't like him. He's now back and banned from owning guns in the U.S. and is known to tell stories of him surviving prison.

(https://i.imgur.com/u1M6x0Q.png)(https://i.imgur.com/dGRBuVu.png)(https://i.imgur.com/FQKKqhb.png)
Landa
Another hairstyle from Inglorious Basterds, Colonel Hans Landa's hairstyle. A bad guy played by Cristoph Waltz, absolutely terrifying but smart and cunning interrogator. I thought some of you would be a fan of bad guy character studies, I know I've enjoyed adding their hairs ever since Anton Chigurh since having their characters act out in a RimWorld playthrough is interesting and at the same time terrifying to see how well they fit in a cruel and lawless outer RimWorld more than the good guys do.

(https://i.imgur.com/Xa1tAxc.png)(https://i.imgur.com/DCWlGo4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/mIAiqKt.png)
Kreese
THERE IS NO MERCY IN THIS HAIR MOD, IS THERE?
Sensei Kreese from Karate Kid and Cobra Kai. Not only is he a butt kicker in Karate, but he was a Vietnam veteran. I thought he'd fit in RimWorld as a created character due to his ruthlessness but deep down a heart to look after his own despite the incorrect way of going about it. He also survived as a hobo until Cobra Kai was re-established so he'd make a perfect homeless survivor! Strike first, no mercy, Cobra Kai never dies!

The respirator worn by the SAS from the Iranian embassy siege. I've made gasmasks wearable with balaclavas again, please lemme know if there's issues.

Mouthful of a name, but catcher than "LBT 0101JJ". It is a London Bridge Trading brand backpack, along with the body armours done by TMC. Due to different artists, the sizes vary, which means I have to scale them by code. This backpack kinda borderlines between the rucksacks and the medium backpacks like RUSH 24 in terms of in-game carrying capacity.

That's all folks, I'm typing less because I have to go and this update has taken me too long. It's been 4 weeks in the making since isolation and even then things are rough and some things aren't out yet.

Will work on Security mod next and whatever else content needing to be done. Long week this week, PT tommorrow for me at 0730 and you know how it is folks, stay safe and enjoy the update.

EDIT:

Finally I just wanna give a shout out to Morphium, Fiendakko, TMC, Erok, AOBA and DanDMan for their hard work helping with this update! Morphium especially for donating the riot suit so you guys can enjoy, cheerio!

Hi !
Have you planned to make boots, gloves, and maybe shields (with vanilla expanded framework) in the future ?

Gloves and boots as an optional mod, maybe yes. As for shields, I don't want to use VE framework cause I like to keep things as independent as possible, I'd honestly rather focus on other prospects than balancing or figuring out shields for now so it's unlikely I will work on it my friend.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing, Security and CPERS: Arrest Here! updated

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing, Security
- Conflict fixes, removed duplicate vanilla .xml coding

CPERS: Arrest Here!
- Added cable-tie SFX SoundDef to prevent errors

Hey guys. As you can see in the blurry image above, this is the 1.3 update with the new apparel rendering system. All the hours of hard work on the HD apparel 512x512 pixel textures are now kaputt because this is the new rendering system.

Few things are broken, but considering I have to fix RH 1.2 as well, a lot of things are broken and I don't have a lot of time.

The new content addition will now be on hold, all progress on anything new for 1.2 are now on hold because we won't be on 1.2 for long, we will be at 1.3. I'll prioritise RH2 and do my best to update things but no promises lads, dont know the extent of the damage of the new update.

P.S. Pirates have pink logos now instead of red which makes me upset (cause they were red first, before those darn tribals) and faction coding may have been changed a lot which means I need to dive in rangers again. Bye all, will cancel on the new content for now so we can move on to 1.3.

Yeah, will stick with 1.2 for at least 2 weeks+ after 1.3 release I guess, until mods are updatet for 1.3 and actually working/not breaking existing colonies.
But probably a good while longer, judging from previous update experience.
Great last update btw.

1.3 Early Access updates

(https://i.imgur.com/E2Mo7ms.jpg)
GOOGLE DRIVE Red Horse 2 1.3 (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18BvhRYve9SFydJ29W6tj88bhWP9fwhsc?usp=sharing)
The following mods are ready to be used for v1.3 in the link above:
- Rimmu-Nation 2: Weapons
- Rimmu-Nation 2: Clothing
- Rimmu-Nation 2: Security
- Chicken Mitchell 2: Hairstyles
- Uncle Boris' - Used Furniture
- Randy Burgers: Food mod

NOTE: These will only work for 1.3 version of the game, the 1.2 link will be kept separate. Due to the unfinished nature of these mods and the extreme changes of some of the 1.3 features, I have decided against making the mods compatible for both versions due to time restriction.

Here's the situation lads, England just beat Denmark in the Euros today and I wasn't boozing with the other lads because 1. I wanted to be in bed and 2. I don't know how football works. In other news, Security mod has turrets and claymore disabled and Furniture mod has mission board disabled. Had no choice for now.

Turrets are somehow now invisible with the weapons not rendering on top, which means I have to rework that stuff. All the C# heavy mods are broken once loaded in-game when you start playing so all of that is out of the window for now, including the mission board.

Anything else in the list of updated mods are working fine according to my tests. The reason why our hair mod is yellow, is because right now I have left beards alone and haven't used the new tagging system 1.3 is using (they have soldier tag and moustaches etc.). Basically if your hair has a beard already, another beard will render above if your pawn happens to get another one from vanilla, and this means you have a gigabeard which isn't bad anyway cause it kinda blends in. I'm not in a position of luxury right now with time to filter through 81 hairs and split up the beards. I'm a bit proud we hit 81 hairs but darn if it isn't a kick in the balls that I have to rework them to this new beard system.

Anyways all, I have previews for the new walls coming later courtesy of AOBA for Uncle Boris' used furniture:

HESCO embrasure
More accurately done in reference to actual embrasures I've seen US armed forces have in some of their HESCO. I think it's like this strong plastic that goes in between a cutout of the fabric to stop sand from covering the little square, enough room for your rifle or whatever to shoot out of. Wall is done in the standard vanilla wall resolution as the HESCO we already have, but AOBA does such a good job I didn't mind despite my desire to go HD.

Plywood walls
Thin and cheap wooden stuffable wall as we had them in 1.2.

Corrugated metal wall
Thin and cheap stuffable metal wall as we had them in 1.2, though stronger than plywood walls.

Bunker embrasure wall
Thick concrete walls, may make it stuffable for steel (simulating concrete) having a default cement colour, while also stuffable with stony materials. Was a lot more commonly seen in WWII and such.

Czech Hedgehog
Another thing commonly seen in WWII, the hedgehog which you may have seen in movies or games involving D-Day. This should be strong enough to stop tanks from passing, not necessarily easy to destroy. I'll do my best to emulate that as a barricade.

Blast walls and etc. will return as walls instead of singular pillars later. There's more walls to come and more furniture later and yes, I wanna do doors that fit in the theme especially for the fences. For now, time for bed. See you later folks.

Yeah, will stick with 1.2 for at least 2 weeks+ after 1.3 release I guess, until mods are updatet for 1.3 and actually working/not breaking existing colonies.
But probably a good while longer, judging from previous update experience.
Great last update btw.

Thanks Racoon, what was your favourite part about it? I'm assuming its the AK 5C because you seem like a fellow who likes the exotic weapons you know. My least favourite part was when all of the apparel and hair textures ended up looking off in 1.3, that felt like a gut punch. I'm not feeling optimistic about the request I've made in the ideas subforum, I can see it not getting an official response like every other idea, but hopefully it's been seen and considered.

True, I like the ak5c.
But I would say from the latest weapons update  wa 2k, c8 cqb and lee enfield mk3.
L85a2 as depicted  in your mod is an all time favorite, no matter the game.

What request are you referring to?

Lt. Col. Colbourne

One Leftenant Colonel Coulbourne, awarded with the Victoria Cross during the mechanoid invasion founded 27 Expeditionary Force, a joint effort consisting of Force Recon, MARSOC and other multi-national forces trained in reconnaissance and unconventional warfare. Their job is to gather intelligence of the hostile forces and local populations before refugees can begin to settle in this brave new rimworld.


After much sacrifice and pioneering the way for other Coalition forces to begin their separate operations, leadership quickly fell apart. A scandal broke out regarding most of the remaining world leaders striking a deal with the Fallen Empire to give them and their families refuge and a life of luxury in exchange of having thousands of refugees from their own nations as slaves. The deal was signed under the guise of relations with the faction. From there all remaining military forces including 27 have struggled to continue and finish their mission due to contradicting orders and lack of firm leadership. Some refugees have since joined outlander factions and pirate bands in the hopes of finding a new life for themselves, losing faith in their own rulers.

27 logo, consisting of the Force Recon wings, Commando dagger and MARSOC raider insignia.

27 Expeditionary Force has controversially been known to have begun recruiting outside of the ranks of enlisted Coalition forces, it is said by Lt. Col. Colbourne during an interview with Daily Muffalo "If they're looking for a scrap with people shooting at us, then I'll buy them a pint and we can all slap each other in the bum." continuing on and stating that trusted combatants and militia forces can become officially attached to the unit under his command. Some see this as uneasy signs of the unit potentially having a mind of it's own, perhaps going rogue, while others see it as a necessary way of progressing and getting the job done.

After the arrival of 27 Expeditionary Force, other infamous units such as Task Force 141 followed in an attempt to destabilize and take down undesirable faction leaders. Unfortunately due to the mission taking too long to complete, the world's refugee ships have begun losing the necessary supplies and fuel to keep their life support systems up, causing the armed forces personnel to carry on their mission as their own people choose to either go astray or join their ranks, causing further delay due to focus shifting on training these individuals for the job.

Hey folks, just wrote up the lore and some worldbuilding art for this upcoming "27" faction. It's "two seven" by the way, not "twenty seven". Taranchuk has fixed all C#, I'm still waiting for TMC, fiendakko and AOBA to finish their July commissions. I have exercise in 2 weeks and obviously a lot on my plate for 1.3 fixes.

I will finish this expeditionary force faction cause it's a simpler faction than rangers, excluding the shared capabilities of enlisting with them and doing other activities, then I can remodel the code of the rangers after the 1.3 way of how it's done.

I have two weapons for the faction in progress here:

M4 SOPMOD II

(https://i.imgur.com/sWiWlTp.png)
M40A3

for other planned weapons I will try to keep them as unique as possible so I can still go ahead with the other factions using different weapons. Unsure if I can make it work as part of rimmu-nation or if they have to be separate from now on. For now I will keep them separate.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=54427.0

This request. Has honestly demotivated me to bother with quality and do any more apparel, makes me wonder if I should carry on modding in the first place if the game will not even let people see what I'm busting my ass over. I'm very annoyed by it the longer it goes on, even if other mods have fixed it I was hoping it'd be part of the base game.

Anyway I'm gonna get back to finishing the WIP textures of the weapons and whatever. Have a long month ahead due to the exercise, gonna be a week long, minus Friday and I can't say I'm ready for it but we never are. Ciao folks, see you in a bit

Happy 00:00 Monday all. Been a rough month for me, just been mentally demanding trying to prepare myself for unit duty while I'm barely catching up to the boys in PT here in trade course. My side hobby of RimWorld has become a chore instead of a place of refuge and relaxation too due to the 1.3 update, feeling some pressure and generally unhappy with the default changes affecting apparel.

Enough complaining however, gonna show you guys some up and coming new stuff that didn't make it in the last update but will arrive after the next updates come along.

[RH2] Faction: 27 Expeditionary Force (WIP)

Apparel so far had been done by Fiendakko since before 1.3 update, was in the works. Having help really lessened the impact of me doing more uniforms, but it's still gonna take me ages.

(https://i.imgur.com/ADo02Bm.png)
Flyye Force Recon Armor Vest
Will be used by the Force Recon units with their woodland MARPAT outfit + MICH helmet. Potentially also used by MARSOC.

(https://i.imgur.com/5kyOeZV.png)
Crye AVS chest rig
Will be used by the multi-national forces with the Crye AVS Body armor. The idea is some gucci uniform for a mixture of forces from around the world, instead of different uniforms for each one being a pain in the butt.

(https://i.imgur.com/etultqk.png)
Camelbak M.U.L.E. Multicam

(https://i.imgur.com/qkTefQa.png)
Camelbak Squadbak
Used by the Force Recon units and MARSOC potentially, randomized lightweight packs.

Planned apparel:
- Crye AVS Body armor
- M81 Woodland uniform set (UBAC)
- Woodland MARPAT set (UBAC)
- Crye G3 uniform set (Multicam)
- softshell jacket (yet to find a brand)

Shell
- Smock in multicam (yet to find a brand)

Backpack
- Crye AVS 1,000 backpack

Headgear
- black sunglasses (yet to find a brand)
- combat goggles (yet to find a brand)
- MICH (FORECON)
- FAST helmet (Multicam)

Weapons:
(https://i.imgur.com/geAbPEd.png)
M4 SOPMOD II
Used by the infantry forces in general, there's gonna be no SMGs or other types of generic pawn small arms besides this rifle.

(https://i.imgur.com/GXVEFrd.png)
M40A3
Used by the sniper units, will be Force Recon snipers. It's an outdated sniper rifle, as opposed to the M40A7 or even the A5 in Rimmu-Nation but it'll do the job.

(https://i.imgur.com/ymaKCaH.png)
Remington R10
A Designated Marksman Rifle for the expeditionary force, reserving the issue ones for the other factions later.

(https://i.imgur.com/vH6Kul2.png)
KAC LAMG (WIP)
Needed a machinegun, still have this general issue of not wanting to duplicate weapons anymore, and not wanting dependancy on rimmu-nation. Had to choose weapons carefully.

Those are all the planned faction weapons, no other new ones planned. The M4 SOPMOD II and M40A3 are both old issue stuff during War in Afhanistan and etc. being phased out with different new and more ally stuff (unsure if this is the case for SOPMOD II), but they will fit the faction cause I don't want to put my best cards down yet. It's just a warmup for the others. The R10 and LAMG were weapons I weren't planning on doing anyway, but they needed a DMR and a machinegun, so I chose these two, both chambered in 7.62 NATO.

I do plan for you to be able to enlist in the Expeditionary Force, but I am unsure of how it can be done. I intend for that to be difficult. Unfortunately we don't have a simplified system of an actual recruitment phase with some simulation of special forces selection failing/succeeding this so I can't just put that in. I may just base it on your relations with the faction, but I'll think about expanding on it later.

Uncle Boris' - Used Furniture
Textures done by SirLalaPyon

(https://i.imgur.com/Q1Zcasx.png)(https://i.imgur.com/0UOTN0O.png)(https://i.imgur.com/7httG2b.png)
SLA Double bed
Single Living Accomodation double bed, similar to the bed I've seen in my isolation (We got sent to a block usually reserved for Corporals). Was not a freaking fun time, but the bed was the biggest I've gotten to sleep in that was under my name. I may change the name later.

(https://i.imgur.com/qo75msi.png)(https://i.imgur.com/CuNkoY4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/3Qjt7xg.png)
SLA Wardrobe
Gonna work like the dresser with a bigger comfort bonus.

(https://i.imgur.com/G03ovLs.png)(https://i.imgur.com/e8XeILq.png)(https://i.imgur.com/fuTSJlF.png)
SLA End table
Epic end table that will have a lamp. Has masking to keep that book's colour. I intended it to be a Bible cause I love Bibles and wanted a motel feeling, but it's obviously just a generic looking book instead so we can pretend it's whatever you want. It could be the Art of War written by JJ Abrams if you prefer that.

Wall art done by AOBA

(https://i.imgur.com/pMgEITi.png)
Knife rest barricade
Wanted this as a barricade like the hedgehog, but instead it's gonna be a wall just like how they were used during WWI in the Allied trenches. We still use them today, and it's a pain in the butt to make them, cause they still make us engineers make them and they have to look pretty good on exercise. Imagine it's pitch black dark, you're in a makeshift FOB with HESCO walls and all the squaddies sleeping, some on sentry while you're using some thick PPE gloves getting cut by barbed wire cause you have to make the flippin' knife rest. That was me with the boys.

Blast wall barrier
No longer a single building, again, gonna be a wall.

Rimmu-Nation² - Clothing

Apparel done by TMC

Bristol Body Armor

This is the body armor set intended to go with the S6 NBC Respirator, the full Operation Nimrod set. The Bristol Body Armor would go under the Arktis Tactical Vest.

Apparel done by Fiendakko:

Fienadkko made two variants of black Police belts for you Police enthusiasts. One with a radio! Would go well with your RPD or STARS roleplay, or just flippin pretending you're a military police federale in general. I'm yet to get back from him what the names are of these, cause I always name them after brands in order to have multiple variants. He also says he's gonna do uniforms, and I know a few of you have asked me in PM for that, so stay tuned. He's willingly offered without being commissioned cause he loves you guys that much.

That's all fellas, gonna go off to bed. After July I have an exercise and then I'll have time off with the family. I am confident mods will progress by then, right now due to a transition with the 1.3 and business with military life everything is slowing down hard. It's not helping that I'm struggling mentally.

Ciao Mickey Mouse, see you all in a bit with updates
