Annelitrice The Mimic Race

Add a new race with regeneration. Add some new apparels. Spawn worms upon destruction of bodies. Add some cheap substitutes of mechserum (OP, but would be nerfed in the later updates possibly). Now they have a chance to assimilate other races as one of their kind (inspired by Fungi Tribe).

How to revive:

Research that 10000 points tech. Make some Annelitrice juices from the drug bench. Use it on the dead bodies or worms.

Background:

In the fifth millennium, the idea of acting is a little different from what we know today. Actors or actresses are still present, but they primarily serve for the luxurious hobbies of the rich. Most of the TV shows and movies are 100% computer-generated imagery, because everything is done by automatic software to reduce costs, and most people would not tell the differences between CG characters and real-life humans. Eli mullet was the elder son of his family, and hewas about to inherit one of the most influential media conglomerates of the Glitterworlds. However, due to some unspeakable reasons, he had obviously lost his sanity during his life. When appointed as the chairman of the board, he immediately replaced many managers with his loyalists and started his rediscovery of classical movie production. The only standard Eli had for his movie was that everything must be real. Characters were real, costumes real,

, explosions real. Everything worked well until one of his employees detonated some bombs too early, which killed more than sixty people, including two main actors of the movie. For the dead ones, he simply needed to pay for the mechserum, but some board members believed this incident was an opportunity for impeachment. Some said he invested in illegal biological research, while some claimed he made a deal with the Great Ancient Ones...The result was that he had some creation that helped him "control" the board again and participated in the movie production. He called his creation the Annelitrice. Annelitrices are extremely adaptive creatures. For some unknown reasons, they are almost zealous in imitating humans and have a strong desire of being dramatic.They have much higher metabolism than humans and therefore need more food. When the bodies of Annelitrices are destroyed, some small fragments still remain and special media can be used to restore their full bodies. Eli made a couple of extremely successful movies, which won him both money and fame. He used all of his resources to bribe the authority so that nobody would uncover the presence of Annelitrices, until one day he crossed the red line: he detonated fifteen antigrain bombs near a planet with more than one billion residents in order to create an artificial meteor shower. He was arrested and sentenced for 1507 Earth years and 6 Earth months in jail. Later, the authority issued bounties on Annelitrices, who were treated as dangerous bio-weapons. However, Eli had foreseen his ending and secretly built thousands of cryosleep facilities on many undeveloped planets. His loyal employees and fans froze themselves and the Annelitrices so that after 1507 Earth years, they could make movies together once again.

Some notes:

This mod is inspired by Ayameduki's Nearmare mod and I tried my best to learn the art-style. I was quarantined for two weeks in April for being a Covid19 close contact. During the quarantine, I just looked for things that I could do for fun. I have never learned any drawing or programming before, so making mods would be a great challenge and it is something meaningful that I could put time and efforts on. Most of the textures are drawn awkwardly, because I have never learned any art until last month. I would say that I do get better at drawing things during the mod making. I will keep updating race mechanics and apparels in the future slowly.

A list of people to thank:

Kamijouko helped me set up the C# part. I really do not know how much time it would take without your help. A lot of great people in the Rimworld Mod-Art Discord Channels helped me a lot on art-making and XML debugging. Benxu49 helped me contact Kamijouko and did some testings of the mod. N gave some advice on designs and did some testings of the mod. The background picture of my preview is from an unknown artist who made a 3D laboratory model. All the textures are made by Verniy709. Most of the XMLs are done by Verniy709.
