They probably have a spot in the forums to raise your fist.

The purchased names are in like a compressed file, those text files are just for the randomly generated names.

If you find nothing else: What's the name? People might have seen it.

It should be Birch, i think i set the first name as James but idr exactly

I haven't seen it...but I use a mod that disables all of those 'preset' names. It's why I know they aren't stored in the same text files as the random generation...I had googled it because originally I just was going to delete them all, but when that wasn't an option I resorted to using a mod.

Looked more, they're in resources.assets, which you need to extract. The name you requested (you're right, you did make the first name James) is in the names file, at line 68769.

how does one extract it, also is it just chance that it rolls the paid names? because ive killed tynan a few times

[Jaggid Edje]

Yes, it's a random chance. It's a pretty high chance for it to use the pre-set names, but there's quite a few of them.

As far as extracting them, the game uses unity, which is a very common game engine at this point...meaning there are a lot of different tools for it you could use.

Here's a quick tutorial in the steam guides section: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1549288210

I used UABE[github.com]. Download, extract, and run, file > open ...\steamapps\common\RimWorld\RimWorldWin64_Data\resources.assets, the program will complain because it's not up-to-date but it'll work if you pick the bottom of the list, sort by type and hunt for TextAsset after the ton of textures, select all of them (it also includes some not-name stuff like backgrounds and Tynan), plugins > export to .txt, pick a folder, read the .txt files.
