So will this new medieval 2 mod work with medieval overhaul?

Yah that makes sense, like consolidating the crop mods would make a lot of sense but merging that with psychasters expanded might be weird.

Or like merging the animal mods would make sense until someone complained about the endangered species and couldn't legally have it in their country because of it.

Oh we won't be doing one big mod for many reasons. We will however consolidate mods where it makes sense, and in the case of Vikings and Medieval it really does - in fact, most people were always running both anyway.

Then again, if that were the case, when something broke like this it would basically be as good as the entire game breaking for a lot of people since Vanilla Expanded is so essential. I can play without Vikings and Medieval stuff, but I couldn't play without a lot of the other stuff. It just wouldn't feel right.

I've long felt that some Vanilla Extended Consolidation Merging would be great for the load orders but I didn't want to say anything because I thought you guys were keeping all the mods separate for a reason.

But I've always felt like it would be good if we could just toggle features on or off in the mod options and have everything in one big mod rather than a lot of little mods, except for maybe the endangered species mod and the story tellers that would have duplicates already in mods.

Like I'd toggle some Splits and Schisms features depending on my faction, probably permanently disable the genetics expanded quests and creature encounters, and switch off those big Mechanoid Invasion events, but keep everything else basically as is.

*misses vikings again*

It doesn't work on 1.5. We're reworking the mod and it will be a part of Medieval 2 once it's out.

If you enable this mod on 1.5, your save will become irreversibly damaged.

dos eit work for 1.5 and are there any ports of it

Honestly the merge makes a lot of sense given that these two eras existed roughly during the same timeframe.

Damn I just realised I'm missing my fancy hearth. Ah well, I guess I can live without it lmao

It's either the merge or cancelled mod. I don't have enough coding power to maintain so many mods.

Ugh, of course you're not updating the mod for the new version. Why even merge them? Theyre separate mods with separate intentions.I thought the whole point of VE being multiple mods to begin with is not having mods with two entirely unrelated sets of mechanics.

he said 1.5, he just forgot the ".",

16?

15

Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years, uh"

I have literally not played Rimworld 1.5 since there is no crypto armor... and I've got 2854 hours logged, have published really successful mods since 2016, and been active in other modding communities. If that doesn't tell how much I love the crypto armor and weapons, I don't know what will

OH! I didn't realize this was gonna be a part of VFE-Medieval 2. serves me right for thinking I know better. I'll just wait for VFE-Medieval 2, and let the cryptobionics guy know that the prereqs are gonna change w/ 1.5.

If you enable this mod in 1.5, you will never be able to change it to VFE-Medieval 2 that we're working on. It will break your save if you update. We also won't troubleshoot any issues that you have, related or unrelated to this mod, because you shouldn't run outdated mods.

does anyone even *know* what running this in 1.5 does? I can't imagine anything base Rimworld changed in 1.5 to make this not work, and this just...kind of doesn't interact with Anomaly.
Besides an "indication" and a lot of red words, I don't think VFE Vikings would not work on 1.5. I'll try it and post results.

I hope you remove the crypto stuff the armor is so bad

@TTV-nixonjust
Only where applicable!

@Oskar Potocki I hope you wont remove crypto stuff like you did with plasma in insect2? I want crypto armor so bad :(
Very cool stuff

@Oskar Potocki Thank you for communication, miss and wait for the return of this mod =)

@oskar is the plan going forward going to be merging your mods together in order to easily maintain them and update? Cant wait for this mod.

Oskar you beautiful man. I can't wait for Medieval 2, take your time tho.

We just released Insectoids 2 and have barely begun work on Medieval 2. Give us time, it will take a few months to make Medieval 2 anyway. You can tune in to our Patreon for updates.

Any further comments asking for Medieval 2 release date will be removed.

Most anticipated mod ever

Please update.

everyone but me : misses weapons and/or armor
me : misses the cornucopia artefact

*yearns longingly for Hearth and Honey*
*misses training dummy*

Really minor thing, but I assume the below text is meant to read "updated to 1.5" rather than 1.4?

"This mod won't be updated to 1.4. We are re-releasing this mod, merged with Medieval mod. They will release when ready. DO NOT USE THIS MOD ON 1.5, IT WILL BREAK YOUR SAVE."

Looking forward to the new combined mod when it drops.

Thanks to the authors for their effort.

This is my favorite vanilla expanded faction

I know you mentioned this mod wont be updated and is merging with medieval, but when I looked there it said it was gonna be merged with this. I assume that means a whole new mod page will be coming out. Any idea what you intend to name that so I know what to search for?

So hard to play without this but the creators got so much to do, love yall!

When done.

when is it gonna be 1.5 ?? <3

Looking forward to this one being updated plz

Something's always missing in my games without the crypto weapons and armor. I've built whole factions revolving around the idea of "vaulters" from the Endless franchise.

If I were to ask for permission to release them as a standalone weapons and armor pack (I already have prestige versions for personal use, unreleased), would you grant it?

Same, actually. I hope that whether or not they're in Medieval 2, the cryptogear reappears somewhere.

Or if not, that at least Zal can be permitted add them to the Insectoids plasma weapons continuation mod he made.

I just started missing the Crypto Rifle for the first time ever today.
I had kind of forgotten it was even from this mod, but finally I made a freezing cold arctic faction full of cheat genes and was like "Oh yeah that old ice gun would go good with these guys"

I hope it's still in Medieval 2, or if not, will have like a separate DLC weapon pack for classic cryo weapons they really were bad ass.

Looking forward to this one being updated! Just missing this and the medieval VFE in order to finally start a new 1.5 playthrough :)

Still hype, hoping we get some viking style for weapons so my bill menus get a little less bloated

No, the Medieval 2 mod will be a brand new release. We haven't started yet as we're busy remaking Insectoids now.

has this mod already merged with medieval mod yet? I want to start a medieval game but couldn't find VFE medieval anywhere :(

I liked that Wooly Cows in my sci-fi colony.

That's fair. Consider the mod not given up on just yet. ;)

Merge will also include content overhaul. Don’t give up on it yet.

Gotta say, not a fan of VFE Medieval, and merging this with that one pains me since I'll have to skip it altogether. Still, I wish it success for the authors, and fun for those who are interested in it.

"The only reason I am able to wait for this mod is because the cube requires my full attention." lol @ LOL is community meme now? :D

This mod was great, sad with no 1.5 update but interesting with 2.0 medieval update. Great series. Good luck, cheers
