Ikquan Race

This mod is no longer maintained. Sorry. If you're the mod-reviving sort who wants to reupload it, or use the assets for something new, etc, feel free: my work is all public domain.

Ikquans are a playable race of anthropomorphic fish created using Humanoid Alien Races 2.0. Ikquans come with a variety of colors, tails, heads, and dorsal fins, giving them a ton of visual variety. Their gameplay differences are minimal, so they can easily be added to a standard colony without feeling overpowered or out of place.

Safe to add to existing saves, but not to remove. Like most race mods, you should put it near the bottom of your mod list.

Requires Humanoid Alien Races 2.0 and Pawnkind Race Diversification. SwimmingKit is not required, but highly recommended. Load them all before your race mods.

If you are switching over from the "Legacy" version of Ikquan Race, you must start a new save! This version of the mod is missing a lot of Pawnkind defs that are no longer necessary thanks to Pawnkind Race Diversification. RimWorld doesn't like it when Pawnkinds suddenly go missing, and trying to switch versions will more than likely break existing saves.

So what's the upside of migrating to the new version? Thanks to Pawnkind Race Diversification, Ikquans can be mixed into more factions than ever, and at whatever ratio you desire! Check the mod settings for Pawnkind Race Diversification to adjust this; by default, they are weighted equally to humans. Furthermore, the large reduction of unnecessary defs should ease the burden on your loading times and savegame sizes a teeny bit.

- The "Soaking Wet" thought gives Ikquans a slight mood bonus instead of a penalty, and they remember it for twice as long.
- Ikquans will never be Pyromaniacs.
- Ikquan bodies have a tail and dorsal fin. These parts are purely cosmetic. Simple Prosthetic replacements can be made at Machining Tables for tails, or Tailoring Benches for dorsal fins.
- If SwimmingKit is enabled, Ikquans will swim faster than Humans.
