Having issues with recruiting and taming

[Bowser]

I have done everything right. I have broken there resistance and got them in a nice room but they wont recruit have been trying to tame animals forever and I cant. I am playing modded and the temp in the rooms are good and the beauty is good and my warden is level 17.

You need to be a bit more specific... who are you tying to recruit?
What is their recruitment difficulty rating?
Taming works a little differently, but again, what is it you're attempting to tame?

[The Knowledge Seeker]

You have to make sure that you are selecting the recruit resistance option.

If this doesn't work, then it would be a mod issue and you need to post the mods that effect prisoners.

[ShockedHearts]

if you are on the recruit option, make sure you have someone who will recruit so have someone on 1 warden if possible. once you break resistance every attempt is a dice roll based on their difficulty so it could take a day or a few years depending.

Well I have 4 prisoners and they all are broken and have been for 25-50 days now and one is 70 theres a 42, 40 and a 33 percents. And the animals im trying to tame are horses and sheep. the mods that I can think of that would affect recruiting is prisoner labour. I have a full look at my list in a sec here.

Make sure you change your interaction with prisoner to RECRUIT now, not Lower Resistance.

[Bowser]

Maybe hospitality mod? Im not 100% sure what we do it

[Bowser]

Its not set to lower resistance I have it set to work and recruit

I had recruiting issues with work and recruit mode too because when the prisoners are busy doing tasks, your colonist doesn't attempt to recruit them. Try just recruit?

(I also vaguely remember that I couldn't manually get them to chat when the prisoners are busy.)

[Bowser]

They are attempting to recruit as I click on my warden every once and a while he is in the labour area talking to them and It says "attempting to recruit" and all that, and Isnt after there done "attempting to recruit" action. Isnt there like some sorta of thing thats supposed to appear if it failed, like "Recruitment chance X%" or something like that.

[Kiwi]

I can't tell if that action is completed or not either since you didn't get a failure message. I don't know if an interrupted recruit action would be counted if the prisoner suddenly does a task while being recruited. Yea, sorry, don't know. But just to isolate any problems, I used to just make sure the prisoner wasn't doing anything and the only interaction was to be recruited by the recruit mode.

Work and recruit?

*work* and recruit?

Are you running some slavery/prisoner/jail mods or what?

[Bowser]

Its the prisoner labour mod. And I tried stopping them for working and one of my people things had "inspired to recruit" and It still never worked. And the taming isnt working still, I tried everything to tame something. I tried on sheep, horses, muffalo, thrumbo, rats, boomrats and even hares but no luck.

[Grimelord82]

Animal taming/training doesn't work unless you have a food the animals can actively eat and they are ASSIGNED to eat it, if you have a mod that does that.
I have the horses mod and Prison labor mod, never had an issue recruiting or training/taming

Set a prisoner to "Recruit". If you get even more frustrated I think there is a dev-mode command for it.

having 17 on talking helps but some characters are impossible. I've heard wounding them or placing them in bad conditions and moving them to good helps. i use mods so some species or back stories are impossible like .5%

Just turn them into a hat
