Could you update the EPOE patch for A17?

Ask Xen nicely in the EPOE thread

I don't know what I did wrong but can  you peeps help me with this problem. ty in advance

Could you please give the context of the situation that caused this error?

Updated to A17
On both steam & direct download!

I think the worst thing is that smurfs are more popular than a relevant 'compatibility' patch...

As the creator of the apini mod:
lol no

Equating an xml patch to a fully realised mod with xml, C#, balancing, art assets, multiple patches and ongoing support is pretty insulting.

Walking problem makes his mods with genuine passion and a lot of effort, its just unfortunate the content they are based on is so over-saturated in the media to the point it annoys everyone else.

Minor Update

One of the new features in action:

Fair enough, but the value of the pollen needs to come down because right now its more viable to just grow pollen and mass sell it at near by towns than it is to wait for the honey to ferment. Also are the honey capsules a fermenting vat essentially for mechanics? The Apini never interact with them even with cooking or crafting at max priority and enormous volumes of pollen available.

Huh
Chjees added code which helps with the priority much better than vanilla rimworld already
I will report to him this issue

Pollen needs to be valued less. One large harvest can bring in 20-30k pollen. At an average of 1.25 per that's 37,500 silver.

That is absolutely ludicrous for what it is man; maybe reduce the market value to a base of .75 and increase the plant growth time(it grows so fast my Apini never have time for other crops)?

I definitely agree with your suggestion on the price value.

As for your second suggestion, the point of pollen is that its entirely viable for Apini to harvest enough to make enough honey to solely survive on. Thats what I based the production numbers on.

for epoe: I need to do vanilla prosthetics before I tackle that

According to all known laws o f modification there should be no way to make a bee mod in Rimworld.
the XML would be too much to create. Of course the modders make it anyways.

WRONG

Making a race mod is not a pure xml project, you need C# for some things.

Modders: Aww

*Enter Erdelf*

Erdelf: Here use this ^^

Modders: Yay!

And so begins the golden age of Orassans, Crystalloids and of course, bees.

now now now! don't forget Captain Ohu and Mipen! Erdiepoo *only*  polished and made better what they started

lol
erdiepoo, thats adorable

but seriously he has added MANY new features (mainly at my request >_>)

Update

FAQ

A. Yes.

Q. Is this compatible with the previous alien framework (v1)?
A. No.

Q. Can I add this to a pre-existing save?
A. Yes, but Apini factions will not appear unless you have orions's faction discovery.

Q. Can I remove this safely from a save?
A. No.

Q. How do I do X or Y?
A. Turn on the learner helper, it has tutorial tips on how to use features of this mod.

A. Highlight for answer: Apini suffer respiratory failure from smoking. As long as they don't smoke again for a while it will wear off.

Q. Is there an EPOE patch?
A. Right here! Thank you to Xen for making this.

Q. Why can't Apini have bionic legs?
A. Balancing issues: imagine, four bionic legs.
Nyoooooooooooooooooooom
Q. Apini suck at mining!
A. That is intentional. Apini are much better at building their homes than digging them out.

Q. Why don't Apini have stings?
A. Lore wise Apini were genetically engineered by humans for terraforming. The first thing humans would remove from giant bees is the sting.

Q. Can I get a queen Apini?
A. No. Queen Apini will never be playable pawns.

Q. Can I use parts of this mod/edit this mod for my own purposes?
A. Sure! But if you publish something with what you use, please credit this page.
