Chromanders are so frigging cute.
Unbelievable. Absolutely love them. Great graphics.

has anyone found a way to weaponise this race? like putting them in a room in a kill box.

If a lanius equips a full space suit from SOS2(AKA helm and suit) does that stop them from draining oxygen from the room? Would make sense since it keeps air in it should keep air out.

Just wanted to file a report, it doesn't look like the Lanius are populating as an option for factions when generating a new world- but they spawn bases anyways. That means they can't be disabled, or separate Lanius factions created.

normal meals

Does this mod include Lanius' habit of eating metals, or do they still eat normal meals?

I created a github issue with your feedback. I will try to find a way to fix that. Thank you

The ice blocks added by this mod have a nasty habit of spawning in places they shouldn't during quests. I'll show up at a ruins in say, the desert and there's a bunch of ice blocks which immediately all melt at once and lag the game.

Any way to stop this from happening?

Could you make a lite version that just adds the race and nothing else? The weapons & chromanders don't seem to have anything to do with FTL, and it'd make more sense to just have them as a seperate mod.

At first glance the rate at which they drain oxygen doesn't feel particularly balanced.
Drain rate doesn't feel like it'd be fast enough to be of much offensive use, yet the rate of it is still faster than the rate at which a vent fills it back up, even for a SINGLE lanius.

Which means they are more trouble then they are worth.

Or at least that's my initial impression after capturing one as a prisoner.

I'll have to see what I can do with them when I'm better prepared (roofless prison, here I go?) and/or more invested (colony worth of lungs or something?) before I draw a more substantial conclusion.

@Aracoa
Mod claims that they do “resist extreme void”.

Though as far as our "scientific fancy" goes it's not the lack of oxygen that makes you die in vacuum, the lack of pressure should kill you faster than you can suffocate.

Also I don't recall FTL saying that they can live in vacuum. Not that I ever dug for any FTL lore...

Any possibility to get the grenades as a stand-alone?

do these guys need air? Say, if I took them into space without a space suit, would they die? I have Save our ship 2 installed

Something like hugslib, upload, then share the link

Darn those lungs will require much organ harvesting...

You can also make a pawn immune by eating the blue cake or installing artificial lungs.
Nice suggestion anyway.

if you insist on having to use the blue plant, maybe a generator the size of one tile that converts the plant into oxygen very efficiently? So you dump the plant into it like a woodfired generator and you get a lot of oxygen?

Why can't some races where breathing equipment and could you add more potent sources of oxygen generation, like an airconditioner like thing, since a lanius pawn got into a relationship, they shared a bedroom, it had 6 vents, 6 potted plants with that blue plant, ended rapidly with brain damage.

If I remember well, each grenade has its mortar shell and IED variation.

Also, do you consider making IED for the new shells? It would be interesting.

Yes

Wait, did the last update add all the grenades and Chromander or I missed something? Love all your race mods btw. Zoltan is my favorite.

Having previously used this mod before the big content updates, I'd like to suggest a feature that is lore-accurate and evidenced in FTL;

Lanius' eating metals and similar mineral content instead of traditional food.

love the demonstrative gifs

@Kamui Fuchi: I updated. If you find any remaining mistakes, please, keep on reporting them to me. It's very much appreciated.

Thank you, I will update as soon as possible.

I just started with this mod, I'm noticing the use of "feint" where "faint" should be used for passing out from lack of oxygen.

Yayyy!

@Vasily Tomatov: the update has been released. Lanius are now space void resistant.

They are not SOS2 compatible, yet. An update is coming soon.

SOS 2 comp? They need spacesuits?

you do have a point regarding lack of gas vs lack of oxygen, usually lack of oxygen is often used to imply lack of air in general in context of games,

I did not understand it was a suggestion at first, sorry. That could be an interesting idea anyway. I am currently working on an update on these guys. Maybe that could be an interesting mechanic. I will think of it.

Lack of oxygen does not imply lack of all gas. The heat/cold can be spread through any kind of gas afaik. If there was nothing, the buildings would have to implode, and that would not be very convenient.

Oh, interesting thought here, would these guys also cool a room seeing as how a vacuum has no air to spread heat?

Yes opened vents and powered coolers work too,

Do vents also help replenish air faster?

with enough of them they might be a good killbox if you have the locks mod so it doesnt let all the air out you can make a kill box that raiders can enter and use vents to fill up the room with no oxygen without having the lanius in the kill box and the raiders will just suffocate.

They might be good at insect eradication. Though insects are easy to prevent with a cold base and some parkas

In FTL they were also double edge swords, that's their nature. You could hunt with them with a proper setup. They may force you to only have members of their race. Having animals is also difficult. They can bring some challenge and new ways to play.

they only look good as situational fire fighters and kill boxes

what are the goodsides to these units? They seem more like a problem for my colony.

hey wanted to know if it is compatible with open the windows mod?

I didn't get the error anymore, so it seems like it's fixed. Hopefully it stays gone even if I get another Lanius visitor.
