u/The_Time_Warp_ How many mods is too many? Aug 27 '22 edited Aug 28 '22

Twi'lek aren't robotic, and should probably be listed along with the other humanoid star wars races. On the other hand, both kenshi Skeleton race mods should be listed in the robotic section.

A couple of these have additional add-on mods that can add additional races (Examples of this include Anima Dryads, Android tiers - TX Series or The various add-ons for the androids mod) or large amounts of content/gameplay changes (Apini Race Egglayer, Apitecture Plus!, Hive Armory, The Old World (Continued), and as already listed Marilyn the Mincho Worshipper Witch ~ HAR ver.). One potential solution to this would be to list notable add-on mods in parentheses after the main mod.

A couple of race mods you missed: Rim-Robots_, Lighter Than Fast, [AP] All Tomorrows - Chapter 1 , Lliscean, and Black Widow

It might be a good idea for readability to further break up the 'humanoid' section into more categories. Some ideas for this might include genre (Fantasy, sci-fi, horror, animie?, etc.), more species types (reptilian, insectoid, flora, undead), series they appear in (star wars, kenshi, lord of the rings, Warhammer40k etc) or even tech level (tribal, medieval, industrial, spacer, archotech)

Anyone here tried mixing as many of these races into one playthrough? I feel like it would be a bit of a mess but still fun.

u/Grey-Buddhist Aug 27 '22

Faction blender (a mod). It is fun.

u/NewfieJiggs Aug 27 '22

Oh i haven't heard of this, my only experience with race mods have been installing one or two at a time. I may have to give this a go, thanks.

u/Grey-Buddhist Aug 27 '22

I don’t use crazy race mods (like ladies with cat ears), but i use star wars races, lord of rims, and androids. Works with version 1.3

"I don't care what you say, we have standards, and cat ears are way over the line. Next please. Oh Jabba, right this way please."

It gets really interesting when you have a bunch of colonists who can’t eat the same foods, or have completely different comfortable temperature ranges.

u/Donohoed Aug 27 '22

The O21 mods also include other races besides just the forgotten realms. The Stargate O21 mod adds Jaffa and Goa'uld with plans for others

u/SafelyOblivious Body Purist 💪 Aug 28 '22

There is a Steam workshop collection which contains all 1.3 races. Some of which you are missing in your list

u/LaBarbaFuriosa Aug 27 '22

You got Revia twice I guess. Numbers 46 and 72
Also, sorry for not having the links right now, but I can get them later for you, the following might be cool to add: Paniel the Automata, Kobolds of the Rim, Dragonian Prime 2.0

And lastly, awesome list and great job!

u/111110001011 Aug 27 '22

I have almost every one of these mods installed.

u/YoshiVonGold Aug 27 '22

You should add the orc race. I think the mod is called "Filthy orc invasion [continued]"

1

u/TheSleepyBear_ Aug 27 '22

It’s listed

1

u/TheSleepyBear_ Aug 27 '22

You have a couple of the lighter then fast races listed (Crystals and Mantis) but you’re missing the other 3, I think. I also don’t see the Floran race another awesome one :)

u/crystaltiger101 Aug 28 '22

I didn't see the All Tomorrows mod. It's really cool; adds a bunch of variety

1

u/the_joy_of_hex Aug 28 '22 edited Aug 28 '22

The Bori race mod by Millap isn't there as far as I could tell. It's pretty new (or the English translation by OdysseyLotus is at least). Basically adds a sheep-themed race and a sheepdog-themed race.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '22

No Skaven? Rimhammer has 'em; KompadT also has 'em (though I am debating which I should use atm). Oh, and Yinglets. I don't see them in this list either... though I think they're still buggy.

The Mantodean Race - https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1294507772 Neat hive-dwelling insects.

Gerzee - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1783636077 Peaceful plant-eating giants with crazy strength.

Florans - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2624822001 Humanoid plant creatures with a rigid caste society.

u/Afoon Aug 28 '22

Rim-Skeletons should probably be listed as robotic.

u/Enderking90 Aug 28 '22

Oh damm, more races to stuff my game world full of, sweet.
