Race - Hive Scout Drone

Description
Original model made by Ryabovskiy
https://www.nexusmods.com/kenshi/mods/1404
"I will be glad if someone completes this mod, since I do not understand some aspects of modding for Kenshi. If you are going to redo it, specify the co-authorship"

All in one animation patch:

Ashen Hive patch:
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3305233841

This mod adds in three new sub races:
Hive Scout Drone
Hive Scout Drone South Hive
Deadhive Scout

Notable changes from the original:
Southern and Deadhive versions
Stat rework
Functional head sliders
Distribution and spawns of the races in places I felt they fit.

Scout Drones are designed to be very specialized in speed and little else.
They have the fastest run speed min/max of any of the vanilla races
(3mph faster than worker drone's max run speed) and are faster in combat than hive races by 10%
They have a buff to athletics, swimming, science, medic, block, and dodge.
To account for this, they have reduced dexterity compared to other hivers, a whopping 30% debuff to strength, and debuffs to dexterity related skills.

Western Scouts can be found sprinkled around in the western hives and in caravans.
A new squad of southern scouts called dronewatch has been added to the southern hive, appearing frequently in places you would find dronguards.
A new fogmen unit called Fog Sprinter has been added to the foglands, they are unarmed and extremely fast.
It will be harder to run from these fogmen but will be overall less dangerous due to their low MA skill.
Western Scouts can also be found in place of other drones in other factions infrequently.

Interesting but honestly weird-looking.

@okuupation yes, as I designed them to be vanilla friendly, southern and deadhive are not available in game starts, just like vanilla hivers

I bet a patch would be necessary to select the Southern and Deadhive variants at the character creation, because in my case I can only choose the Western Hive Scout at the beginning. I do have the Recruit Prisioners mod, but still

Aaah I see, this is phenomenal news! You see, I tried once to duplicate a moded hive but ended with mismatched heads and bodies, colorwise, hence why I thought I had to mess with the models themselves. It didn't occur to me that the head models also have texture references in FCS. Well, much obliged for the explanation, I had in mind these buggers for an addition to the race, all yours if you wish to add them. Again, thank you for the info!

The original mod uses a modified Hive Prince head texture.
I changed it to just use the vanilla hive prince texture, and added in the south and deadhive types by just using the model with the other prince textures.
So on a very basic level, it is actually just FCS stuff.
I didn't realize you meant a compatibility patch.
All you would need to do is copy the heads from the race's prince onto your new scout race.
If you would like, I could go ahead and make it myself, what mod are you wanting a patch for?
