Hello everyone,

this is Blood Pact - my new mod. Its built around the Blood Pact which is some abstract chaotic power based on blood and death. You can severe dead bodies for blood and skulls and sacrifice them to the Blood Pact.

Sacrifice system: give sacrifices to the Blood Pact and strengthen your bond with the chaotic powers. You can sacrifice blood, skulls, Blood Leaf and corpses to gain Pact Strength. The more Blood Sigils, Skull Piles and Blood Ivy (only grows on Blood Fields) you have the stronger your bond gets -> more Pact Strength per sacrifice. Pact Strength can be used to pray for gifts like XP in a random skill or even a steam geysir which needs a LOT of Pact Strength and a Ritual of the Geysir. More to come.

The Blood Sigil: followers dedicated to the Blood Pact wear a Blood Sigil which grants them special traits but there is no return. Pacta sunt servanda!
PORTED TO ALPHA 7!
I didnt test anything though because I was too upset

UPDATE:
Armor, weapons and factions as well as a dynamic alignment system based on the buildings and Blood Ivy on your base. Unfortunately you have to create a new world to register the factions. Im sorry about this :(



New Buildings:
The Chop Block - low tier worktable which allows your colonists to chop off heads from corpses.
The Skull Altar - the main building of the mod. Your colonists can severe bodies for skulls and blood, sacrifice and pray for gifts.
Skull Pile - a pile of skulls also acts as storage for skulls.
Blood Sigil Painting - the Blood Sigil painted with blood.
Skull on a Pole - self explanatory.
Pact Forge - craft your armor and weapon there.
---
new Items:
Jar of Blood - human blood from corpses.
Human Skull - a human skull.
Blood Sigil - the mark of the followers of the Blood Pact.
Blood Leaf - the leaves of the Blood Ivy
Blood Pact Powerarmor - a powerful armor for your cultists.
Nailer - a powerful rapid fire weapon.
---
Stuff:
Blood Ivy - only grows on Blood Fields
Blood Fields - soak the earth with the blood of your enemies. This cursed land is very fertile.
Rim Marines and Blood Pact Rim Marines - the soldiers of "good" and "evil" whoever defines what those are.


Although I put a lot of work into this mod it is more or less a proof of concept and is not performance optimated. I never had any problems but the mod uses "some" foreach loops and "not so elegant" Unity Engine tick updates. So please report any problems you may experience especially on huge maps - I will work on the tick time some time soon(tm).

BTW, i'm more like a  Gaunt Ghosts fan (WH40k for those who don't know) so i'd like to see some blood pact raiders

This looks impressive, is it possible as the mod expands to make as above blood pact raiders, but as you do more sacrifices and so on they like you more and other factions like you less?

it SHOULD be possible but I would have to write my own faction and pawn generators and stuff. MAYBE I can highjack the core pawn spawner but I would have to do some research first within the core assembly

Don't feel the need to add it or rush it if you do, it'd just be a cool idea :)

This mod is amazing, i was planning on making something like this, as well as making an Imperial Guard mod.
When in doubt, rely on everyone else to fix up your .xml

I put it on the top of my todo list. I love the idea.

Sweet :D and on the tooltip for the steam geyser ritual can you add the amount of pact strength required for it? It'd just make it easier to understand how much more is needed to be done ^.^

Wait...You can summon a steam geyser? Is it a random location or can you chose....

The geyser will be spawned by the Ritual of the Geysir so you can choose.

Essentially neverending supply of blood :D

Yes thats the problem with mods which provide endless amounts of corpses but I cant think of a proper solution which wont break anything right now.
