Veil Hive

Description
"Attention Traveler! Thanks to our tech hunters’ perilous expeditions into the unknown, we at the University of Machinist have made an astonishing discovery: the discovery of a new Hive!

Referred to internally as the "Veil Hive" among us academicians, this new hive is a reclusive hive said to be endemic of the Burning Forests of the Southern Continent. Their most notable feature is their brightly coloured skin, thought to be an example of warning colouration. Despite the bright colours they are incredibly illusive, having rarely if ever been seen, with eyewitness accounts being so few and far between that most drifters believe them to be nothing more than a children’s ghost story."


Adds a new hive race, the Veil Hive, to kenshi. Includes:

- Veil Hive Prince
- Veil Hive Soldier Drone
- Veil Hive Worker Drone
- Veil Hive Queen
- Edited shirts to accommodate new hive hive race specific restrictions
- New game start involving lots of... frogs?


NOTE: - NOT ADDED TO WORLD SPAWNS! They are only added as a starter race, along with a lighthearted game start.
- Because they are a new race, you will need to make your own animation patch if you want them to use modded animations (@𐌱𐌿𐍃𐍃𐍉𐌽 and @Anrhaa have made animation patches, linked in the comments. Go check out their workshop pages as well!)

- The Queen texture, especially the head, is kinda ♥♥♥♥, so I might redo them later (the base game queen UVs are kinds wack). But for now, it's "good enough"


Feel free to use in your own mods! I don’t care


Also note the armour in the screenshots is not included in this mod. This is just a standalone release of the Veil Hive race. I’m working on a much larger mod project that expands the Veil Hive into a minor faction, along with a bunch of other changes and edits focused in the South, so stay tuned! A WIP release should hopefully be ready soon.

Enjoy!

why are you here? 31 Jul @ 1:08pm 
Hey, really dig the mod. I was wondering if you knew of a way I could make it so npcs refer to you as a hiver as opposed to just an outsider though.

Would you be ok if I put out a small mod that makes Green a Veil Hive Worker, and adds a few Veil Hive recruits in the swamp?

@bondrewd i havent really thought about it. maybe i will for the fun of it. dont expect anything anytime soon tho lol

@bondrewd adding Praetorians yourself is actually pretty easy if you know your way around the FCS. boils down to giving a soldier a specific set of CC boundaries and stats, really. i did it to make praetorian cyborgs for hive cybernetics.

Any plans on adding Praetorians? or you not a fan of them?

@jackjack cool!

@dfgrews. I've created a patch between this mod and Limb and Decapitation Overhaul, which uses my dummy mod Princess of Cute Hive ALL EXPANDED to supply unique severed limbs to all affected Hivers, to allow the user to craft new Organic Replacement Limbs skinned to match the races that the severed limbs are supplied from. I needed to combine the metal part from Limb and Decapitation Overhaul's hiver texture with each affected Hiver mods to achieve this, but to function as expected it needs characters from each hiver mod to supply the severed limbs for crafting.

If you do not want your textures included, please let me know (either here or on this linked mod) and I will remove it from the distribution.
