Springhares, sometimes called Space Springhares (Scientific name Pedetes Inanis) are a herbivorous species of hopping rodents that have evolved to live within habitats in the deep reaches of the void between stars.
They are somewhat speedy, need less food, are efficient at work and effective at ranged weapons, however their smaller frame makes them unable to carry heavy loads and terrible close combat brawlers.
Due to their herbivorous diet they can eat grass and weeds but cannot eat meat, needing a more careful management of resources to make it through a harsh winter.
The species as a whole does not survive well on planets historically, though some groups still try to (or are more often forced to) settle on them for various reasons. Despite being a small rodent species they none the less sometimes join groups of other species, even ones normally considered natural predators.
---------------
This is the reworked version of the old Springhare Race mod, updated to be fully compatible with RimWorld version 1.5.
I'm not too well versed with mod making, so if there are any bugs or I missed something out, please feel free to make a discussion (or even just a comment) and I'll see what I can do about fixing it!

Features:
- Springhares are smaller, lighter and springier creatures that are eager to please. Thus they are rather good with hit-and-run tactics, and fare very poorly in melee combat. Be careful if one gets in social fights with a larger species!
- Two Scenarios for the hoppers: A standard start of a few Springhares falling from their shattered spaceborn narrowboat home in orbit, and a true disaster of a small ruined Springhare habitat spilling it's unprepared residents down to a nearby desolate world.
- A storyteller to guide you along your path. Camomile is a rather relaxed storyteller for now, though once in a while she'll give a nasty spring-kick. Cammomile is still under development.
- Visits from passing Springhares, visiting goods traders, and the occasional orbital trader offering goods from their Narrowboats above.
Built upon the Humanoid Alien Races 2.0 mod. Put this mod below it in the mod order list (Should auto-sort). This mod shouldn't conflict with any other mod, if it does please let me know.
All Space Springhare artwork and graphics were made by either Timor or Tea Spot.
If you like this mod, and/or would like to help me make more mods like this, please consider dropping a donation at the Pedetes Productions Ko-Fi! It all goes towards commissioning more art/graphics from Timor, as well as getting me more cups of the tea I drink to survive~!
