Prisoner Resistance

[f1rools22]

Anyone know what this is? Rescued a guy from a droppod, he just wandered off after I healed him. Decided to capture this next guy and he has a resistance stat of 10, I can reduce it apparently but I have no idea what it is or why I would reduce it. Any help?

Resistance must be lowered to 0 before a prisoner can be recruited. They go through all the reducing resistance before the RNG recruitment happens. Setting it to reduce resistance only reduces the resistance, while recruit reduces resistance and then starts recruitment when resistance is broken.

I would be surprised if it didn't work better the other way around. You show off how awesome you are by having a great prison, good food, and drugs, at least that's how it was before resistance was a thing.

Well you can break them, you can make them live in such bad conditions that they will agree to anything, i guess its time to create torture chamber for "lowering resitance"

Right, I was wondering about the mechanic, it makes sense that breaking them would be a thing, and then recruiting would be a different thing. A lot folks already used a 2 stage prison for building a relationship, and then when they're next up, you move them from general prison populace and put them in the palace to recruit. It would be extremely similar in that case, I suppose.

Only in a Rimworld forum.

Considering this is a similar game to Dwarf Fortress, the game that gave us "encase Mermaids in lava stone, then kill them slowly for expensive mermaid parts for massive money", I can't possibly surprised. XD
