New Arrivals....still....

[bebopdrums2424]

In the never ending saga of my 70,000 mods not working in perfect harmony with each other...., i have not yet been asked to name my faction! Anyone experiencing this, or was a change made while i was on tour and theres a diff vanilla mechanic in re: to faction naming?

Thanks!

and to clarify, im already 1 year into my game 0_0

I have seen a bug report on it on the main forums, but I believe that person too was using mods, I have not heard of anyone running with no mods with that problem... so my guess is a mod messing with something incorrectly.

Quite a few people with varying setups (including vanilla, I think) have been reporting this, but no one has been able to convincingly pin it down AFAIK. So no one can take it over to Ludeon and be like "hey THIS is what broke it!"

For me, I have received option to name my community after 3-4 days, without fail, during every version of A17 including release.

right so have i, but i had to get a new computer and i needed to reload ALL my mods and frankly the order is a bit messy now because i have so freaking many. ironically, i had the mod preset mod but because i had to start from scratch, it didnt remember my mod list lol. Quite a few errors in the debug log ive had to whittle down. This isnt game breaking so i can certainly deal with it but i wish i knew how to directly pin the red error log entries to the specific mod thats creating them. Im just not the cat when it comes to that ;)

Do you have map reroll? My limited testing points to that mod being the cause. It's one of those "basically vanilla" mods that so many people use without thinking about and would explain the number of reports of people having the issue. I noticed it was doing some other wonky things, like the reroll button wasn't going away even after a save and reload, and people have been reporting crashes with it after a few map rerolls, so I removed it and started a new game and got the name colony thing exactly when expected.

you have to meet the story tellers minimum number of colonists. If you use a story teller x2 mod then you need twice as many as before. that is why minimum colonists is always so low.

I'm having this issue too. I have a few mods but not a whole ton. 3 months in, and 6 colonists on Casandria. I don't have Map reroll but I do have ENB Carefully Prepare, it's "basically vanilla" too so that could be another cause?

I have prepare carefully and always use it. Had the issue in my first two colonies but not my third.

It might be a vanilla bug then and just doesn't always happen.

I'm using default story tellers and population settings, and all three games I've started in a17 were tribal starts with 4 pawns, so if there is a pop requirement I was above it in all three games right away, yet my first two games went a full season before I manually triggered the naming through dev mode.

i found that building a 2nd colony can cause the name your faction to trigger if it has enough people there.

On a side note you can name your faction and colony using the debug menu (enable debug - action icon on top of screen - search "name" - select colony faction option - regular dialog window appears - pick name - done)

This happened to me on my latest file (which was my first on 17b ) and after like 2 years I finally got the prompt.
