shackles of no use

[Xbalamque]

I robed shackles and wanted to use them but it seems it is not possible because evenif i unlock them i can't use them . Any suggestion or better i leave all that stuff of 0c in the desert ?
Anyone to make a mod to change that strange thing beacause at the contrary i can use things of anyone without any problem ?

Shackles are locked so only the faction who made them can use them. They are still useful because they're heavy enough that if you carry a lot of shackles you can train str.

anyone able with a mod to allow us to suppress that restrictionleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssse.......

They also do function just fine if you put them on a character, even though they are unlocked. They generally won't try to remove them, and will still suffer all of the penalties associated with wearing them.

ok i am going to try this. Thanks

Usually dropped shackles on ground after Reavers slaves wearing them being eaten by the beak things are locked ones. You could collect them and put them into a chest for your intended use. As for unlocked shackles, you can get them from slaves you brought at slave shops.

beak things are an enemy. Large giraffes with no eyes and a beak the size of a sword.

My base is in Gut which is filled with beak things, a species of animals, that eat other lifeform whether alive or dead. Reavers always attack my base and ended up dead from either my turrets or beak things. Reavers usually bring some of their slaves with them and their slaves always wear locked shackles that drop on ground after beak things ate them.

Sometimes I put locked shackles on my prisoners. There are two different kinds of shackles, one that can fit on ankles of greenlanders, scorchlanders, and sheks, the other shackle type that can fit on body of hives and skeletons which is more rare. Reavers usually don't have hives and skeletons as slaves but you could kidnap some from slave shops instead of buying if you wanna the locked ones to bring them to Gut. Beak things can eat hives but not skeletons.

Ok. Thank you. I tried and it didn't work for now. I am going to investigate this with more atention. anyway i use to carry a prisoner and put it in jail. Then i give him an infinite food when he accept to join my squad and it's always ok.
I succed one time to kidnap a very good caracter and sincerely i don't know why it works.
My problem is when i am far from my base in exploration. I may find a good element but untill know i didn't find a way to put him a chain or shackles. I put ones and not locked but he escaped.
Do you know if it is posible to destroy completely a base of sacred empire, for example in a sacred mine or sacred farm... and then to make peace with the sacred nation or you stay always with a bad level with them ?

You can't enslave people with shackles. You need a mod called prisoner recruitment. Then you put people in cages after you reach tech level 3 and research imprisonment. Once the person is in your cage, you can talk to them and try to recruit them.

yes, i use to do it but as i said if a get poeple far from my base i's a real problem. Never mind, i'm going to find a way
