Just a quick teaser because I've been writing dozens of design pages for Insectoids 2. These are the new hives coming - some are geneline-specific, and the shape of the hive represents what the geneline coming from it is like.

Yes, they will be buildable by the player!

Mushroom hive Mushroom hive

Oh no, Boomapedes

NewOldGround

Will there be biotech integration?

Dimitry Minchenkov

Oooh. So it will be a blend of driads and mechanitor's mechs?

lloki

Looking good!

OneSandyBoi

Huh… that’s a weirdly shaped hive, the entrance/exit raised off the ground? Almost like… it might lead to some flying buggers…

Spoder

Four new genelines? Seems like this is gonna be much larger than the original.

Screw Qidian

I've been missing my royal bugs. Can't wait to see them again

Limavian

Everybody is going crazy over anomaly but I‘m just excited for Insectoids Expanded and Insector Race

HeinrichK

Superearth command says flying bugs are traitor propaganda. But tha first hive tho!

I’m aware, and excited to see how Insectoids 2 and VRE Insector interact

ParaNautic

I thought that human built hives would be machines copy’s of the organic ones. Maybe a hybrid of the two.

Most of it, I’d imagine, would come from the VRE mod. I asked about Biotech integration because the original Insectoids mod had that submod which added all of the insect parts as genes.

And the tallish one looks like a Termite nest, so Siege Insectoids are coming too D:

Gustavo Righetti

Are they buildable or growable? would be interesting if you planted a specific cocoon that takes time and requires darkness to spawn these nests

Bro same here, also can't wait to see what they do with the new medieval

The insect parts are no longer a part of this mod, considering they exist as genes in VRE-Insector! :)

Can't wait for this, medieval VFE and the CE update to start my next run after I completed anomaly the other day.

This has been my favorite Vanilla Factions Expanded mod for a long time. The insectoids felt like a genuine threat reminiscent of Starship Troopers. I'm really excited to see all the new content! By the way, considering we have fungi, insectoids, and the upcoming Vanilla Mining Expanded, is there a chance we might see Vanilla Races Expanded - Dirtmole in the future? It's my favorite vanilla xenotype, but compared to the other expanded races, they now seem somewhat simplistic. They are the primary tunneling race, and the vanilla xenotype doesn't fully capture that they were not just miners but also the primary world-builders.

The "Shrieker Nest" looking one gave me a micro panic attack

I've been wishing for this stuff for YEARS, so happy it's finally happening

Con

Never have I been more unironically hyped for lumpy bug hives

Matej Klecina

is there any way to add jumping insectoid? Like, he will jump towards a pawn to end him. Like 5-8 tiles jump.

Kuru Chilion

Oskar please save the insects, for Tynan has forsaken them

Sylant99

Will plasma weapons return or separate module?

The Dirtmoles could possess genetic predispositions for insect meat and mushrooms. That being said, I won't bring up the topic further. It's clear that this post isn't meant for discussing other xenotypes, but I'm unsure where I can submit suggestions. That being said, thank you very much for your work!

Hmmm I never thought dirtmoles need expanding much, but maybe they do, right about when we release mining expanded?

Kira

Hoping Insectoids wind up even half as fleshed out as Mechanoids did!

Deggial

Oh no! That‘s really a shame! As detailed in one of my previous posts, I liked them quite a bit! And as you liked the related post, I was hoping … Can‘t they be part of the upcoming „Megacorps“ mod? The code does exist, after all and being a high-tech application, it seems fitting as well.

They don't have their own niche, that's the thing. They are uninspired and don't have any unique mechanic. If I was able to find some mechanic for them, that'd be great, but right now half of them are useless and the other half is OP.

Waiting for more Vanilla exploration expanded blogs 😔

It’s coming! Just let us get our bearings and at least get insectoids 2 out since a lot of people are waiting for it
