Ah my bad, must have missed out when I tried to scan for anything relating to the Monkeys. Still, part of the lore in some sense are the same. Except the monkeys are a warrior based faction and live a lot longer in that lore whereas this one lives a lot shorter and more reformed. I deliberately made it so that the Monkeys also looks towards cardamine research as an option to their advancement, making more RP in the process.
Could anyone tell me what is the current situation and the extent of that RP at this point if possible?
Quote:In this momentous period, a great forest fire destroyed many of the prairie land inhabited by the monkeys,
prairies are not forests. I'd remove the word 'forest' and actually change the word 'prairie' to 'savannah', as there is very very little to eat on a prairie, but savannahs are richer in ecological terms, and can support a wider range of wildlife, meaning that a fire would kill more animals, and take longer to recover from.
Prairies actually need fires to clear out brush grasses and release carbon and nitrogen back into the soil, so a fire would mean that it would be followed by a period of great growth and a population expansion.

As to the faction idea, the AI's were easter eggs too, and they've still not been fully integrated into the mod, and it's been nearly ten years.
Suggestion: The monkeys are actually zoners, who were 'rescued' from nomad infestation by cripplingly large amounts of cardamine. the interaction of the genetic alteration from the cardamine and the nomad-magic bounced the zoner's patients down one evolutionary branch and back up another, like Pratchett's Librarian character when the octavo spells hit him.
The zoners have kept quiet about this terrible secret, under duress from (doc holliday?), who is secretly a primus monkey who had extensive plastic surgery to conceal the fact that he was once nomad infested and had to be 'cured' by cardamine.
Primus monkeys RP towards the Order is one of disappointment: they feel that the order could do better.
Towards the OC, they regard them as foolish, for imbibing a very potent drug.
Naming convention suggestion: instead of using american indian names, what about bahasa? There are orangutans all over SE asia, and the word literally means oran (man) gutan (forest). I don't speak much bahasa or melayu, apart from ordering coffee or barbequed suckling pig (ye, I live in paradise), but I can certainly help out with suggestions for names of settlements and ships.

Since Planet Primus is now an AI planet, there are no longer "monkeys" on that base.
Sorry to shoot your idea down, but as far as lore is concerned, they never existed.
I second that, instead of bringing back the Monkeys we should actually work on getting the AIs active (as there are currently though, some groups, unofficials and officials have become aware of this). They seriously have way more potential then Monkeys (no offense). It ain't bad realy, I've had the same thing on mind like "weren't there monkeys in Primus?" but then I saw the AIs and was like "screw the monkeys" , AIs rule! Seriously, there are so many different factions, check out the unofficial Faction section, so many trying to bring new Factions into the game, but there are a hellton of actual existing factions in game which nobody is using. Instead of bringing new ones, first things first, the ones already existing should be used.
Why not? The history is nice, there are the AI as precedent and gives the chance of good roleplay although marked with some racism by the hand of their enemies (let's be honest, we all see this coming). The only bad thing is than I will be unable to call people "stupid space monkey" with my AI xD
But maybe you should consider forget the monkeys and replace them with a new stient species.

The AIs established a base of operations and the monkeys fearing a new invasion retreat and strat to study them in secret, pretending to be a primitive society.
Even if that is the problem it will only imply a few extra lines in the story. The real discusion is this:

Allow the primus to exist or not. The rest are just details.

There is room for only one monkey faction in my heart - Bananas Empire ;(
Anyway, the writeup the monkeys DID have (in disco before their removal) was that they were colonists that had their DNA vastly changed due to radiation .
Thanks for reading the lore and replies, it is much appreciated.
@Echo: Just because robots are visual in game and controlling the planet does not mean the monkeys have just magically disappeared? (Unless the all monkeys are dead in the devs mind) Lore can be written to say that the robots took control of an colony that is not in Federation territory. Planet Primus is a big place without large oceans to fill up the land, the monkey do not simply have the power to have a presence everywhere. I can equally say that AI took control of the docking ring and directed the landing tube to one of their controlled colonies instead ?
@Coin: Your insight are very helpful, I must have missed the details when I wrote up the lore on separate days. I will certainly look into to your suggestion and see if it could be changed or integrated into the history. They certainly need some enemies to shoot at. The naming convention is also a good idea too.
@Snake: I simply do not get grasp your disapproval for the Monkeys, I believe like many other new faction it should be allowed the chance to see how it turns out .
- You created Sirius Alliance 4 Months ago,
- You didn't object the proposal of Omega Defense flotilla 2 weeks ago
- You certainly didn't even oppose the Starlancer idea 2 days ago, even though it is equally as unusual like the monkeys
So why I am confused to your sudden suggestion to focus on existing factions. I am not sure if it is because the fact your position in the AI faction also makes it means you will lose control over an entire planet and system if the Monkeys rise up.
@Pancakes: Was it an actually official right up ? At this point I am hearing different versions of the lore which is confusing.
Sorry if my post above sounded a bit frustrated or aggressive, I am just having trouble perceiving why AI are allowed to go ahead, where as Monkeys are not allowed to progress at all without giving it a single chance. AI combined lore did not exist until very recently (well about 1 year) . From my view, all it needs to take is a re-write and merge the story, edit the texture files to revert the skins and change the planet docking ring to Monkey IFF.
