Has anyone made this into a mod yet? I'm trying to tinker around and get my race template working again, would love to test it on this.
Then don't download the mod. It's not becoming vanilla content any time soon.\ Seriously, what do you want me to do about it?
Well, this is after all posted in the "suggestions" sub-forums, so I see where he is coming from. -------------------- On-topic, interesting idea. I'll be definitely keeping my eyes on this! Would be interesting to see what their custom tech would look like.
I'm not talking about the mod but possible vanilla. It's just my opinion, I don't want you to do anything.
I think you can be entirely safe that most of us don't even dream that our race concepts would ever be part of the official game. This area has become more of a fanfic-dream zone, where we collect some ideas, give them some depth and hope that some benevolent modder may have an interest to make it real. But sure, it's missleading, because someone may think that we demand or suggest that this idea should become an issue for the whole game.
Then again, don't forget outstanding well loved mods that DO get added. The anodynes are a great example.
Yeah, the project got passed on to someone else and was called 'NovaKids+', which then got added in as the Novakids
Still, we must keep in mind that the Novakids had a special background. They were announced before the release back in 2013; the mod itself was made later and had no impact on the development idea in this case. Also, CF made a contest where a custom race could be introduced in the product as a stretch goal, as far as I know. This are entirely different circumstances.
