Big and Small – More Xenotypes Mod introduces a variety of unique xenotypes to your game. This mod includes Mimics, Weavers, Devilspiders, and Abominations, with plans for more in the future.
Big and Small – More Xenotypes Mod Features
Mimic
These friendly fellas like to brutally murder people, feast on their flesh, and then if there is something left they will wear it as a skin. Fortunately, closer examination reveals their inhuman anatomy. Most variants around are believed to have been created as thieves and assassins.
Mimics have the unusual ability to take the physical form of a dead body, adding all of its genes as xenogenes. They can at any time either integrate them into their genome permanently, otherwise they will lose the genes when they stop mimicking their victim.
If HAR is used they will have a special body setup.
Weaver
Despite the innocent-sounding name, the weavers are vicious and unlike what you’d expect from a web-making spider, they are more known for running down their victims or pouncing on them from above.
While they are infamously murderous, they are, despite rumors, not actually any more cannibalistic than baseline humans. They also produce a large amount of silk that is of a quality comparable to Synthread.
Weavers produce fairly large amounts of Synthread, and if kept under control, a handful of them can easily supply an entire colony. While some might have a tendency verging on murderously insane, they are also quite capable fighters.
With HAR active they will get a proper spider-body with all the legs you’d expect.
Devilspider
Devilspiders produce silk comparable to devilstrand. They are believed to be bioengineered on an Urbworld by a corporation displaying the rare trait of relative sanity by making an effort to make their spider xenotype not be impulsively murderous.
Despite the fearsome name, they are better known for their tendency to bury themselves in pillows and blankets as well as knitting toques and scarves for anyone who will wear them.
Devilspiders are highly valuable as colonists, being mild-tempered, sturdy, and able to produce small amounts of devilstrand. While not inclined to fight, they are highly lethal when required.
With HAR active they will get a proper spider-body with all the legs you’d expect.
Abomination
Ew. Who let this thing out?
Abominations are walking, talking, living cancers with a mess of malformed arms and a slug-like tail instead of legs. Most monstrosities like this are likely escaped failed experiments from some manner of lab, and some have despite everything retained some semblance of mind.
They possess the unsettling ability to steal a highly random number of genes from corpses they devour. If they are pleased about the genes, they can integrate them permanently, otherwise they can choose to purge their xenogenes at any time.
Their initial set of genes is absolutely awful, and they are forced to use their gene-eating ability to survive.
With HAR active they will get a frightening set of limbs.
Compatibility notes
Some optional cosmetic genes require Rimworld Anomaly DLC.
It is recommended to use Humanoid Alien Races with this mod, as it allows for additional features like the spiders having eight legs.
