Mzbundifund posted:Are those traits set or randomized? I thought the preset characters were randomized apart from the skill offsets and job restrictions from the background, this version of the pawn may just have those high skills due to being rolled as a genie. Incapable of violence is a horrible job restriction to have from your background, so without being a genie this guy would just suck.

A slave ship passed by and one of the slaves was the fiance of a colonist. I bought him and stuck him in jail for the usual Convert/Recruit process (arrived as a slave) and within like five minutes, his fiance came over and broke up with him  At least he's got 9 planting skill

The Misogynist trait may just be there to make it more difficult to get him in a relationship rather than admitting that he is an actual misogynist. I wouldn't read much into this. Incapable of Social just makes it so they can't do social tasks, like trading, wardening and child care, but they will still interact with other pawns and build relationships.

I think they were more talking about the highest intellectual, but I think that's just because he's a genie. Of course then the issue is 'why is he a genie'.

IIRC pre-gen pawns only get fixed backstories and everything else is random? Also that's not Tynan? Thats the dude that does the (kinda non-vanilla now) Vanilla Expanded? lurksion fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Nov 16, 2023 |

Oh yeah, I saw that a long time ago but didn't see the need for it at the time, and forgot the name/description when searching recently. It was neat the first time I saw Yuu 'Hakuja' Ito roll as a random pawn in scenario setup, and progressively less interesting each subsequent time I see that pawn in random encounters, so I'm looking forward to installing that mod for future colonies. Thanks!

Seriously rooting for the violent death of all my pawns in this runthrough. Dude has 1-priority mining and 1-priority construction and I have tasks assigned to both and he's 3-priority hauling poo poo to the stockpile zone. World is crumbling around us, everything is critical, no time. Defying orders to do the dumbest poo poo imaginable and play hoop stone for 16 hours a day. Also LOL at running out of both steel and components in tandem with the exact moments I unlock air conditioning and a horrific heat wave hits.

If a pawn is ignoring priority 1 stuff to do priority 3 stuff instead, I would check to make sure you don't have him accidentally zoned away from the work sites. Or if you're using mods, double check that you don't have something interfering (I can think of While You're Up and While You're Nearby both being applicable here, if I'm remembering the names right).

After I posted I had some guy cleaning and he had a blood stain in the pen from a slaughter and one in my entry maze from an attack that were kind of close together spatially, but on the other side of a wall and a good 1 hour walk and rear end in a top hat would take one swab with his mop, walk an hour to the other side, take one swab, walk an hour to the other side... I hate these people.

just had a colonist "go for a beer" with another colonist. in typical dogshit Vanilla Expanded fashion, it looks like if there's no beer available they'll just grab something else, down it, and keep on looking, so i had two colonists drink about enough psychite tea to go to 50% tolerance within a very short timeframe one of them was eight years old and had a colossal overdose, and is now bedbound with brain damage and withdrawal, giving everyone in the colony a "sad youngsters" mood debuff. e: a "group social fight" (another vanilla expanded social event) has broken out between someone on the edge of the map, and the bedridden imprisoned eight-year old five screens away Inexplicable Humblebrag fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 18, 2023 |

I had a social fight yesterday between the only colonist I liked (Carla) and some other dude. Just a fist fight, and Carla had high melee. Like 3 blows exchanged and Carla drops to the ground straight-up dead. Never seen anything like it. So I check the other guys mood to see if he had any remorse and he actually had a bonus from killing his rival with some text like "I'm glad he's dead". Like wow, dude, okay.

Vanilla Expanded Social Interactions or whatever it's called is dumb as poo poo and has no real upside to use in terms of either gameplay or story and just uninstall the drat thing. Vanilla Memes Expanded:Schisms is pretty much equally horrible and both are good examples of not needing to use all their mods even if you enjoy the collection overall.

How do people handle their animals breeding like crazy when they don't want them to? For pen animals I just butcher them on a tight schedule but I have a terrier army that was getting out of control so I just decided to sterilize all of them. Are there any down sides to that?
