Description:

“ENOUGH FIRE IN THE RIGHT PLACE CAN SOLVE ANY PROBLEM.”

This is the new framework for the GrimWorld 40,000 mod series.

Ocularis Terribus will eventually become the primary framework for GrimWorld in the coming months. It aims to fully replace the current framework.

This has code sourced by both Grimworld and Coventech in a partnership and as such this has minimal content on it’s own. It only adds core functionalities leveraged by other mods in the series.

Any content added can be subjected to changes in the future as we look in to ways to improve our mod and contents.

This mod is a framework, and as such it adds minimal content besides functionalities that are pulled by the mods that use it as a dependancy. Besides code, there may be a few icons and minimal textures for each of the following assemblies. Author’s names are noted to each assembly’s nicknames.

Animal comp (by Sandwish) – Allows units to have bonuses from terrain types (applies a hediff based on terrain and/or weather).
BM Apparel set ( by BlackMarket420 & Taranchuk) – A special code which grants a pawn a hediff when they’re wearing a specific set or combination of clothes.
BM Heavy weapons (by BlackMarket420 & Taranchuk) – Allows weapons to have custom requirements, such as special apparel such as backpacks, ammo from these apparels and more.
CloneVat (by Lee) – Allows for the creation of pawns using a structure, it also has an optional function to clone player pawns.
Coloring tool (by Maxim) – A special apparel tool that allows switching between multiple masks and the application of up to 3 colors per item, in a custom interface.
Custom research blueprint (by Epsilon) – A custom made research blueprint utilized as a requirement for researches without the use of the Royalty DLC as a requirement for the mod series.
Damage tiers (by Taranchuk) – Code for special grav weapons. Scales the damage of a weapon with the weight the target, up to a certain limit.
Deployable utility (by BlackMarket420 & Taranchuk) – Allows custom weapons that can be deployable as utility structures (weapons that can be carried and used by a pawn, but that can also be deployed as mannable turrets).

Shotgun pellet system (by Taranchuk & BlackMarket420) – Adds a verb that adds copies of the projectile to the initial shot with equal stats, to better emulate "shotgun fire".
