Gifts via transport pods not registering goodwill favour

[Scarlet]

I have tried with different factions, different goods (first time misc items, 2nd time 3 boomalopes with old weapons and clothes and third time full of shih-tzus) and different days (in game and real life)
Everything looks like it is working fine, it shows me the goodwill I will receive, I see the pod travel there but once it arrives - nothing.
I have a fair amount of mods loaded, obviously something is bugging out but anyone had a similar issue? Can list mods if needed, cheers

Try sending a colonist with the gifts. If I remember right, gifts had to have a colonist present to be considered a gift.
I'm assuming you are in dev mode or something and can test it easily.


Edit: Oh, you are right about sending gifts, it looks like it should not require a colonist. I was thinking of trading and selling things. If selling then it does require a colonist.

Thanks for the quick reply, not in dev mode and in commit mode so cant test that way but hoping to make it work without the colonist. I'm sure it is meant to work without having to send someone and don't want risk them walking back. All good I think I'll just have to caravan next time, thanks again thou

Scarlet,

As your game seems to be bugged out you need to look into the errorlog and test stuff out. You still can do that in ironman. You need to back up your save file (dont forget *.old of the file) and then just try it out. If you find the error you delete the save and put your old one back into the folder. Easy.

It has most definitely to do with mods. I just had something similar yesterday and was only able to find the error via dev mode and the method I described. Good luck.

Noticed someone posted that gifting animals via pods isn't increasing rep. Suspect that's the issue here as tried it myself seems its a bug.

I am requesting that Rimworld is updated for two things:

1. Giving animal gifts via a transport pod stopped increasing relations due to the last update. Can you make it so that it does so again?

2. The Imperial Shuttle that arrives after hosting the Imperial Leader used to not have a weight limit but now it has an unknown limit. Can you remove it?
