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.

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. Sure! But if you publish something with what you use, please credit this page.

I'm planning to make a playable bee race. Here is the design document:

DESIGN DOCUMENT

I'm good for artists/coders, but I would like people to look through the document and maybe put for suggestions (I've turned comments on the google docs)

Once I have the design doc solidified, I'll update this post with a summary of the mod+features.

How would I make one hediff give another with xml only.
For example I have 2 hediffs, hediffA: an infection, & hediffB a chronic condition. I want the infection to cause a permanent chronic condition. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks for your help.
