Invincible Xenotypes - Viltrumites
Welcome to Invincible Xenotypes - Viltrumites!
To function, this mod requires Nalzurin's Viltrumite Xenotype mod, which itself requires Harmony and Vanilla Expanded Framework.
Better Gene Inheritance isn't a [i]strict[/i] requirement for things to function, and so won't show as one in your modlists, but is [i]strongly[/i] recommended if your Viltrumites are gonna have babies and so listed as one on this workshop page.
Adds the Psychically Deaf, Pretty, Aggressive and Reduced Pain genes. Oh, and a little more...
Most Recent Update:
[b]Hybrids Update![/b]
This update splits the Viltrumite strength, durability and speed genes. The 2nd gene in each pair is exclusive / not usable at the same time as similar non-Viltrumite genes.
For example, a normal Viltrumite can use both Viltrumite strength genes. 2.5 x 2 = 5 times the usual damage!
Meanwhile, a Viltrumite-dirtmole hybrid, assuming they inherit the dirtmole's strong melee gene, won't be able to use the 2x gene, so instead will deal 2.5 x 1.5 = 3.75 times usual damage.
This way, hybrids are still crazy-strong, but still outclassed by pure-blooded / "practically pure" (those produced with baseliners, for example) Viltrumites!
NOTE: The Vanilla gene inheritance system is stupid and dumb. Use Better Gene Inheritance if making hybrids!
New Genes
Some genes require other mods or DLCs. You can play without the mods/DLCs, but then the genes won't appear.
Smart Atoms - Make the impossible possible. Required for most Viltrumite Genes, as well as giving lots of metabolism.
Viltrumite Strength - 5x melee damage and carrying capacity. If using FSF Advanced Bionics, gives Mighty Fists natural weapons.
Viltrumite Immunity - Immunity to same conditions as Perfect Immunity, plus 3x immunity speed.
Viltrumite Speed - 2x movement speed.
Viltrumite Healing - 10x injury healing.
Viltrumite Aging - 1x aging at 13, aging slowly decreases to 0.1 by the time they're 30, then to 0.01 by the time they're 80. Prevents age-related illnesses. Gives metabolism.
Viltrumite Robustness - 0.1x incoming damage.
Viltrumite Skin - +200% sharp, blunt and heat armour.
Viltrumite Temperature Tolerance - +1000 max and -270 min temperatures.
Viltrumite Tox Immunity - 99% toxic environment and general toxic immunity. Immune to tox gas. Can be weakened / killed by intense enough (modded) sources of toxicity.
Viltrumite Lungs - 99% vacuum resistance. Immune to vacuum burns. Requires Odyssey. Can survive for many days in a vacuum, but eventually needs to breath again.
Viltrumite Drug Immunity - Unaffected by most drugs. Requires FSF Advanced Bionics.
Viltrumite Nutrition Storage - 5x stomach size.
Some genes from the original mod are removed from Viltrumites to make room for these - but not removed from the game; go find them!
Viltrumite Genes only take effect when the pawn is 13 or older.
Other Mods
Extra genes are added to Viltrumites if those mods are present. Not required, but they will enhance the Viltrumite-ness.
- Superhero Genes - Flight, restraint (very important to taking enemies alive) and jump. Extra strength and durability.
- VRE Genies - Slow Diseases.
- VRE Pigskin - Organ Regrowth.
- VRE Fungoid - Gene Infection Immunity (if using Alpha Genes)
- VRE Hussar - Unconstrained
- Alpha Genes - No Wings, Deadly Raid Presence, Pack Mule, Enforcer
- Big and Small Genes - Almost Sterile, Ever Fertile, Xenolocked
- More Genes - Efficiency Genes, Large Stomach
- Jimothy's Genes - Metabolism Genes
- Outland - Genetics - Metabolism Genes, Pounce, Flight
- Better Gene Inheritance - Primary Genes
If you know any genes from other mods you think would suit the Viltrumites, let me know!
Future Goals
Use Random Genetics Framework for attribute/quality genes. Some Viltrumites are genetically faster, tougher or stronger than others, basically.
Get the additional genes to also only appear when Viltrumites get their powers.
Comic spoiling stuff will only be added as revealed in the show.
Viltrumite faction. When made, will require the Superhero Costumes mod.
Other Xenotypes and factions representing peoples of the Invincible Universe
Of course, I more than welcome others to try their hand at making Invincible-related mods as well!
FAQ
[b]I'd prefer this or that![/b]
I've set this mod to load before the exported folder from Xenotype Exporter, so you can easily remake Viltrumites however you want.
That said, feel free to make suggestions that I can use to improve things for everyone.
[b]Justify every little decision![/b]
Either I think it's confirmed in lore, "unconfirmed but makes sense based on what we've seen", just really cool, or due to the limits of Rimworld modding.
I might make a discussion thread for all potentially questionable decisions for y'all to read and challenge.
[b]Given potential UK Steam ban, what if the mod page disappears?[/b]
It's unlikely that the UK will ban Steam. If the UK does ban Steam, it's unlikely that would make this mod page disappear.
But, if that happens, I'd want someone to reupload my mods.
[b]Huh? Why are you leaning towards my ear?[/b]
*coughs blood* Mark. Watch my Youtube videos, Mark!

Note that this channel is *NOT* Rimworld related. It's a worldbuilding channel. That said, you might notice some Rimworld-esque stuff in the worldbuilding, such as organ harvesting, war crimes, morbid hilarity and widespread cannibalism.
Also I've got some Invincible-related videos planned.
