Space Marine Stuff (1.3)
We are now 1.3 Compatible
Since there isn’t much to change so far as armor and weapons go I figured I would rush out the 1.3 patch so that y’all could get to work with it. Factions obviously saw a huge change in the Ideology DLC so I am going to be spending a lot more time reworking the factions so that they play nicer with Ideology. For now they are perfectly playable but the ideology they adopt is random. If anyone has any questions or finds any bugs feel free to leave a comment or join the discussion.
Happy Purging brothers
I wanted to create a mod which adds Space Marine armor and balances it with Rimworld armors (As much as is possible considering how powerful anything from 40k is in general). I mostly created this because I wanted to use some cool Space Marine Stuff without having to use the massive and impressive 40k mods that are already out there. I also wanted to give a spotlight to lesser known space marine chapters with cool history and styles.
Adds a very Basic version of Space Marine Armor, Weapons, Factions and two variations of GeneSeed to Rimworld.
Space Marine Armor: Super dense and powerful armor with a basic color scheme as well as variations for the Minotaurs Flesh Tearers, Carcharodons, Lamenters, and Retributor chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Minotaur and Retributor Armor has a Prestige Variant for Royalty DLC.
Weapons: Bolter, Plasma gun, heavy flamer, power spear, and chainsword.
Gene Seeds: The Gene Seed is an expensive and complicated implant which is installed in the Sternum. It greatly increases all physical capacities and depending on which gene seed is installed can have bonus, corruptions and mutations which allow for different play styles.
Factions: The "Renegade Marines" and "Flesh Tearers" faction types will appear on the world. Renegades operate like Outlanders and FleshTearers are a powerful hostile Space Marine faction which sends relatively large raids and Flesh Tearer space marines in the later raids which are super powerful and dangerous. If the player decides to raid them they’ll gain exceptional loot, equipment and gene seed.
Research: All SMS items can be built by the player after proper late game research. This research is challenging and time consuming. I highly recommend having 2-3 high level researchers to make it go very quickly
Mod Conflicts: None that I know of, but please let me know if you find any in your own playthroughs.
FAQ:
Q: Will CE be coming?
A: No, Unfortunately the amount of effort that would require is beyond the scope for this mod.
Q: Don’t you know there are 40k mods out there already?
A: Yes, but I wanted to try and make my own which might balance in Vanilla a bit better (It doesn’t but oh well), plus I’m new to modding and this was great practice.
Q: Finished.
A: I think so. There will probably be a time when I return to it later, but for now it has does everything I have wanted it to do. It taught me a great deal about modding which I will apply to my next project and has given me an opportunity to give back to this incredible Rimworld community
Q: Why the Minotaurs and Flesh Tearers? Where are my Smurf Marines?
A: I know that 40k mods with the popular chapters are out there already. I think these smaller, unique chapters are cool and don’t get seen very often.
