Favorite quote "...it's not a bug, its a feature !"


THINK TANK CHECK LIST:

With the release of version 1.55f/1.1f the foundation for 1.6 is in place.
NexT step will be to replace some of the Tech textures.

1.6
---
1. Re-examine the artwork.
2. Redesign/replace artwork.
3. Transfer art from paper to digital.
4. Add some new stuff when rework is done.
---


I do not have an exact date for the release of 1.6, but sometime in november month.
Until november I will work on stuff on paper and see where I end up.


Other thoughts
Some personal comments and thoughts about Future goals of this expansion module (mod)

This mod aim to improve the "Phoebe" expirence, while keeping the violence to a minimum. There will still be a challenge,
in form of wildlife taking over, plant life reclaim the land and strange diseases.
Not all plants can be Harvested, some may need to be spotted and singled out among all the "Growth".
The tech part of the mod aims to provide some Tools and Gear to help the player fit to the role as care taker, but its not a requirement.

.. Add a deeper "meaning of life" for Creatures such as the "flagships" Slimes and Floaters.
.. Balance of plantlife and wildlife, do not want to over-do it, but same time want to make the jungle feel it work against you.
.. Improve upon current textures such as wild creatures, plants, items, "Objects" in general.
.. Creatures and plants may be added in between, but quality of existing work has a higher priority.
.. Improve quality of clutter and themed based stuff.



..more TBA

Some words on the bottom, as requested in mod release description.

(I am aware the graphic might not be excellent, still I put alot of work hours into putting a reflection of my soul in the mod,
so totally not interested in rename and republish as someone elses "work", or salvaged if this mod seems abandoned in some way.)

Quote from: faltonico
I truly can't understand that sense of balancing a LOT of modders have, pouring more resources on something doesn't make it more difficult, but more annoying. It is not engaging, even if i'm swimming in silver at late game ¿why to bother?, why all the effort to get there?.

FridayBiology

Would love a Energy blade for melee and 100% cutting of trees and Hay :P
Yes another god damn youtuber.

I have added the "blade" as requested, it is a good idea to cut down those trees real fast.

The wasps don't seem to be mating or laying eggs.  Is that intentional?

FridayBiology

I am looking into the egg laying and mating codes, just finished the graphic for the eggs.

<comps>
         <li>
            <compClass>CompEggLayer</compClass>
            <eggFertilizedDef>EggInsectFertilized</eggFertilizedDef>
            <eggFertilizationCountMax>1</eggFertilizationCountMax>
            <eggLayIntervalDays>40</eggLayIntervalDays>
            <eggProgressUnfertilizedMax>0.5</eggProgressUnfertilizedMax>
            <eggCountRange>
            <min>5</min>
            <max>10</max>
            </eggCountRange>
         </li>
      </comps>

The slimes are omnivores , they eat pretty much everything, they love ration packs though.

I am preparing to release 1.03 today, all of the pets has been tested while tame, and not. Both slimes and wasps lay eggs.
Mating, egg laying and such has been decreased to a decent level, the eggs has been reduced in price as well.
Slimes have more textures now to give them more attitude.


I have hidden an easter egg into the mod, a more extensive bodypart system in preparation for when will be able to operate.
so in short, it is "operable ready" ... like hd ready :D

What do slimes do, exactly? Other then be really small and eat stuff?

This is a very good question, they might eat you out of the house so to speak.

I should contemplate on this, in the mean while...

Their role is limited to adding different neon colors on clothing as they give a litle bit of leather.
Eggs on the other hand is used as an ingredient to manufacture a potent medicine.
Agave + herbal medicine can be mixed to gain paste called ZiXm, the result is Depends on the egg.
One will make KeXit and the other XiKit.
XiKit will is a potent 2.0 medicine, KeXit has only a potency of 0.8, however it is intended for eXPet surgery recipe's to apply/remove libs in the future.
