Invincible Xenotypes - Thraxans

Welcome to Invincible Xenotypes - Thraxans!

This adds - you'd never guess it - Thraxans! With a tribal and outlander faction, to boot! Outland - Genetics is set as a requirement, because it has the genes that make Thraxans actually look like Thraxans. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2910172297 The mod technically *could* function without Outland, but your Thraxans wouldn't look very Thraxan...

About Thraxans

Thraxans are species that age 80 times faster than normal. Once they reach their biological 60s, their immune systems and capacity to heal disappear. Combined with being delicate, and the violence of the rim, this is a death sentence. They learn, heal, find love and reproduce rapidly. They need and want for little. They might not be here for a long time, but they are here for a good one. In the short time you have them, they might be one of your most useful colonists, and you might find yourself getting painfully attached. I know I did. RIP Muolgot.

Mods that give Thraxans more genes: (where 2 genes serve the same purpose, one is removed to reduce bloatification) Big and Small - Genes and More: Ever Fertile, Minimal Pregnancy, Alien Appearance. EBSG + framework: Always Fertile, Bad Slayer, Random Passion Alpha Genes: Formic Antennae, Digitigrade Legs, Frail Skin

FAQ

I've encountered a bug! Tell me here: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3760111696/572668858640530961/ I'd prefer this or that! Xenotype Exporter and Total Control let you reshape the Thraxans and their factions to your liking. That said, do comment any ideas you have, so I can integrate any that I like. Justify every decision! Either I think it's confirmed in lore, "unconfirmed but makes sense based on what we've seen", due to the limits of Rimworld modding, or I just prefer it that way. Any ways to cheese? - Romance on the Rim lets you marry off/in colonists. Thraxans are useful, but need regular replacement: arranged marriages are a great way to bring new ones in, and send those in need of retirement out. - Since lady Thraxans have day-long pregnancies, you can kinda use them as a faster version of a growth vat. - Sanguophage xenogerm works on Thraxans... to hilariously overpowered results. You can also extend their lives with cryptosleep caskets, bionics and, if you use Harvest Everything, replacement bodyparts. - Obviously, if you have OP xenotypes, hybridizing them with Thraxans can have *fascinating* results. Possible Future Plans? None thusfar. I went pretty hard on bringing this to a totally finished state before publishing.

Compatibility

Thankyou to:

Members of Rimworld discord's modding section, for explaining things to me. Blue lobsters, for making me feel things I shouldn't feel.

If you think I'm super cool and stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/@jimothyworldbuilding3664 Note that this channel is *NOT* Rimworld related. It's a worldbuilding channel. That said, you might notice some Rimworld-esque stuff in the worldbuilding, such as organ harvesting, war crimes, morbid hilarity and widespread cannibalism.
