Yes, I had all that planned but as I said I dropped the mod. I also said that anyone can do with it whatever they want, as long as they give me credit for what I did. You are welcome to add all those things.

Something similar to devouring(and better ) could be achieved by making storing of your own acid possible which then could be combined with meat to make more nutritious meal. This acid could also probably be used for making your royal jelly(Naturally acid spit would also use it and maybe lethal bite too). Though I'm not sure what you should need to get and store the acid maybe fat or food and energy.

I love this idea to pieces. I'm rewriting the Scavenger and Stowaway abilities it's such an awesome idea. This works beautifully, it saves having to use more than one hotkey for Devour, it works with every single tier of alien (each race. including the new ones, will enjoy five or six tiers. Small, Medium, Dire, Grand, Great, and Queen. though Grand and Great may be the same tier, I lack my notes on this computer as always), allowing "digestion time". Any extra Devours would replace the old and serve as markers, allowing consuming the resultant meal of each alien race to have different effects as you increase in level and potency. Devour would never serve as immediate health regain, but the player could keep a reserve of meals which, though not much, would have a weight, preventing stacks of 100+.
Acid would be weightless, but perhaps with a cap of around fifty, and generated once per second by scripts (many scripts concerning the player refuse to work while combining, which may stop acid production whilst "digesting". Upgraded Devour at higher levels would allow for more acid to be stored, and higher benefits, in a much more subtle way than suddenly being able to consume elephant size aliens to gain 1000 health.

For the Stowaway, different devoured aliens could be used for producing new eggs of each race, again preventing the need for a hundred buttons on one ability, and controlling availability, whilst having to produce acid would make rapid-fire spit an easily balanced addition to her arsenal, provide a thematic reason for her ability to produce multiple species (but not her own, which isn't around to eat), and would be able to convert any of the meals
For the Scavenger, different alien meals could serve as nutrition, or as ammunition for things like venom or flame weapons, which gives the Scavenger a purpose for alien corpses which otherwise would have had no use beyond decoration.

Devour could be given much earlier to both races, since it would be much better balanced thanks to the new time aspect, and would not be exponentially better with each higher tier of alien, discarding the need to "level" the ability. Acid combined with a larger alien would simply provide more "meals" (though I'll perhaps have to come up with a slightly less nauseating term than "soup"), which would individually have the same effects as a smaller alien, only more of it, at the expense of more time digesting.

What do you mean wouldn't change anything? It would be much more balanced!!! Alien starts off way too strong she's so strong that it's boring and the order she gains abilities would better if she gained abilities in less straightforward manner since currently you get one ability max it out and then start getting another instead of developing all abilities in more natural and balanced manner. When I play as alien I barely ever notice is it night or day since you max out night vision so early I'd much rather get some other abilities before I max it.

Also fat system from werivar expansion would be neat as an additional requirement for aliens leveling as long as it has limits on amounts that can be stored and other adjustments.

And what do red aliens do? Do bigger ones emit fire? Do they explode when they die? Where do they live? Tree planting and such sound so interesting that I'd be quite eager to test stuff. (now that my tremulous map is almost done.)

I figured out how to incrementally increase armor (yeah, I missed that little note in bars.dat where it said that altering the temp bar or the armor bar effects the actual value) so The Android will now be able to upgrade his armor directly.

0.83c - my last version of NMV is 0.2. Is it that one you've changed? Did you try original version? Also, did you change any hardware in your computer after last build? Is it in .NET?

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding clearly what it says - something that the prog didn't find needed initial data or smth... Am I right? I just don't know what to think as it's the first time I see NMV 0.83c launched...

[ADDED] I've been wondering how could you accumulate 150 MB this far? My Notrium folder with everything (original + mods) weighs around 140 MB.
