About
This mod renames and rewrites description of Rimclaw in Regrowth 2 into 'Cipac' as to make Fallout-reference of 'Deathclaws but in Rimworld' less overt, as well as giving them appropriate lore. As well as edit mistakes in unfertilized eggs of Kiwis and Woolly Stegosaurs that use the description of fertilized eggs.
If Regrowth's creators wanted to update the mod and the changes might overlap I can take this down. I'm not 100% down on this name either, it's more of a placeholder name at the moment.
Why Cipac?
This is the name that is inspired by the wargs in Rimworld itself, a bioengineered animal made as war weapons, which is actually the real origin of Deathclaws in Fallout as well. (They are not naturally mutated).
Warg came from vargr, In Old Norse, the normal word for wolf was úlfr. However, the Norse people also used the word vargr (which translates roughly to "destroyer" or "evildoer"). Over time, vargr became a specific term for a monstrous or evil wolf. Vargr was used to describe the apocalyptic wolves in the legends such as Fenrir, Sköll and Hati.
Cipac is from Cipactli from Nahuatl. In Aztec mythology, Cipactli is a primeval monster, part crocodilian, part fish, and part amphibian. The word itself sometimes refers to crocodile or caiman. The original description of Rimclaw described the creatures to come from Iguana, but in this new lore/description, the creatures are likely created from the genes of many kind of animals, and I wanted mythological-inspired name for bioengineered monstrous lizard creature.
Changes
Name
Rimclaw > Cipac
Description
Original Description
Rimclaws are giant apex predators mutated from iguana, well adapted to highly polluted environments. They are incredibly fast, powerful and intelligent.
New Description
Giant reptilian predators adapted to highly polluted environments, with terrifying speed and vicious claws. Cipacs are the descendants of bioengineered lizards by for combat in toxic warzones. Left behind when the wars ended, they have become a terror across the ruins of civilizations.
Eggs
In fact, Regrowth 2 description of Rimclaw's eggs is still using Deathclaw.
Original Description
A fertilized rimclaw egg. If all goes well, it should hatch into a baby deathclaw. It can be eaten raw, but it's much better cooked.
Fertilized
A fertilized cipac egg. If all goes well, it should hatch into a baby cipac. It can be eaten raw, but it's much better cooked.
Unfertilized
An unfertilized cipac egg. It can be eaten raw, but it's much better cooked.
Egg Fixes
Kiwi and Woolly Stegosaurus have incorrect unfertilized egg description, it was mistakenly called fertilized even if it's unfertilized. this has been corrected.
