Gives chitin to insects, meant for use as a companion mod to 'Insects don't have bones'.

Chitin is automatically applied via a C# patch, but may need additional patches for some mods. Any animal that has no leather and either has insect meat or insect flesh will be given chitin. This means insects that already give leather or chitin will remain as is.

Chitin has stats roughly the inverse to that of bone from 'Rim of Madness - Bones'. It is better at heat insulation, blunt defence and blunt damage.

Also includes chitin tile flooring in several colours, and in two variants.


Patches included:
  • Rim of madness - Bones. Allows you to use chitin in several of the newly added recipes, instead of bone.
  • dll that will automatically patch any pawns that meet the requirements.
  • Patch for Alpha Animals. Enables converting between Alpha Animals chitin and chitin plates.
  • Patch for VFE - Insectoids. Enables converting between VFEI chitin and chitin plates.
  • VFE - Insectoids. Chitin for insects added by that mod can be enabled in the mod settings menu. This will result in many of them giving additional chitin.
  • Settings in mod settings menu to add Alpha / VFEI chitin instead of this mods chitin.

This mod is under the MIT licence, if anyone wants to continue it. Might be better to make something new from scratch though.

This might need an update when VFE - Insectoids 2 drops...

It's cool I made my own version after I noticed this was meant as companion for another mod. Besides I started over wit a fresh colony recently coz the save file has issues.

@Monkey Magic, if they don't have a leather in their info panel then something is wrong.

Is this retroactive? I just murdered a bunch of insects that infested my old storage room (started with nothing, took over a cave - have since moved into houses like civilised people)

I tried disabling them with Cherry Picker but got an error on startup, best I can do is disable them via Choose Your Recipe

@Victor, can't recall if it's Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Production, or the Framework itself, but it's one of those.

I disabled all the recipes in the settings but they still show up.
