Crafting slave shackles

[GREEN M]

Hi so ive been playing for a few days built a base and about 10 prisoner cages but can never get any prisoners to join me. Or anyone for that matter unless i recruit them in a bar. So i wondered if its possible to craft shackles? and basically enslave those i take prisoner i.e forced labor can we do that?

it is not
and keep trying on freeing or buying slaves, you just have a low chance of them joining you.
and zero chance if they high level ( above lvl 25 ) or you placed them in jail or sold them into slavery.

Recruitable prisoners mod. That will add dialoge options to recruit the various people you capture. It's not a 100% chance and you will have to figure out the dialoge trees that lead to the chance to join option as they varry from group to group.

Hi. Within my knowledge can only recruit slaves that you freed from slave shops/farms. This also some percentage of them joining you. Otherwise they will just leave. Cannot enslave NPC/recruit them them via your own cages. Even at the slave farms/camp if you gave them to Slaver Vendor/put them in cages they will not join you.
Don't know about possibility of crafting shackles. Maybe browse through the Workshop & find 1? Good luck.

Hi all thanks for the replies seems odd we cant craft shackles and be slavers as they are already in the game. Would be useful to force these bandit attacks into free farming labor! or miners. My morales have gone out the window! Thanks Kenshi.

slavery is something for the player to overcome, the Dev did not intend for the player to be the slaver.

I still think shackles should be craftable in game. Ive had so many bandit attacks sometimes up to 30 bandits in cages. Its not being a slaver thats not my intention im just protecting my settlement and people by putting them in cages so they dont attack again same as every settlement in kenshi. So if i could put shckles on some then let them out and they work to earn thier freedom over a time period? With a chance of staying once they serve as they integrate in the settlement during thier time perhaps that would be a better mechanic? Also if we have good warriors as prisoners it would make sense that they offer to join you for freedom they have no loyalty to thier group and have a skill to trade after all for that matter any prisoiner should be able to do that for example "im a great cook let me cook for you, cant promise ill stay after 30 days but it beats sitting in this cage" or perhaps negotiate like in a bar and you pay them to join you but its reduced as they want out. So "Look i need out was a bad choice joining these guys but i was desperate youve built a good place here and i need a new start im willing to join for 1000 cats need to pay my debts its a good deal i usually charge 5000 for merc work but i want to settle down start a family im tired of raiding" Perhaps swear loyalty? Have a loyalty mechanic?

To follow on from that if they attack you and kill your settlers surely there should be a mechanic to enforce punishment? and law? If someones a crazy cannibal killer and just keeps trying to kill having an execution mechanic for prisoners would make sense. Such as behead or what ever when they have killed your people in a town or settlement. Same should happen to you if your caught doing the same unless you can break out buy your way out? So many endless things that can be added to enchance this.

It is morally reprehensible to take slaves. Instead I take my prisoners back to my base, cut a leg off of them, leave them in a bed while I beat on them - then once the warriors are done, we toss them down a hill where they will eventually wake up only to be knocked back down again and again by my farmers and laborers as they desperately crawl towards my open gate.

I considered slavery as rehabilitation for those who deemed to deserve it for being uncivil. Slavery should help starving bandits to learn how to farm so they can feed themselves on their own. If they don't want to be slaves then simple be civil and learn how to farm, trade, build, upgrade, hunt wild animals, etc.
