Crystals from Faster Than Light, an elder alien race for Rimworld
 
Who :
> Descended from a splinter group of Rockmen who rejected their species violent ways long ago, Crystals are almost completely unknown in the galaxy, having hidden from all other sentient life.

What :
(+) Lockdown power
Active ability that coats the room they're in with crystals, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. The crystals wear off over time, when attacked, deconstructed or mined.
(+) Thanks to their crystalline epidermis, their toxic sensitivity is reduced by 20% human-wise.
(+) Their travels through space emptiness and thousand millenniums has strengthened their body by 25% compared to a weak human.
(-) Resistance comes with a -20% burden movement speed.

Where :
- Lockdown blocks wont spawn on pawns, nor buildings, nor walls.
- Indoors : Lockdown will spawn crystals to shut doors.
- Outdoors : Lockdown will spawn an age dependant radius circle.
- Living organic beings and mature trees prevent the block from spawning.
- /!\ Watch out where the blocks spawn. Any of the following will end up destroyed : food, plant matters, drugs, organs, stone/wood weapons, rotten bodies.
- In their chest, Crystals have a heart. It will trigger Lockdown when harvested, then used.

When :
- Anyone under 20, wont be able to lockdown outdoors.
- Lockdown ability requires time to recharge after being used. 
- Outdoors, the Lockdown radius is weighted by the ability user age chronological age. 50 tiles radius Lockdowns can be easily achieved by thousand years elders.

Why :
- Because

What else :
(-) No George Clooney
(+) Many backstories (if you have story ideas, please contact me, i will gladly put them in the mod)
(+) Dead bodies
(+) Pawn/faction naming
(+) Icy sounds
(+) Tranparency, snowflakes
(++) Snowmen armies, even in summer, since you can generate huge snow quantities.

Todo :
- Blood
- New craftable/usable hearts for new powers
- more backstories

Dependencies : 
Alien framework 2.0 : https://github.com/erdelf/AlienRaces
JecTools : https://github.com/jecrell/JecsTools

Bugs :
(-) When using a pacifist ability, for the first time, the game will trigger a red error message, it's armless. "Attempted to calculate value for disabled stat ShootingAccuracy; this is meant as a consistency check, either set the stat to neverDisabled or ensure this pawn cannot accidentally use this stat (thing=dodeca)"
