How i can save a particular colonist (i hate the random colonist creator)

[Death]

in the ~6 hours i "played" Rimworld i searched 4h+ for a good group with the ♥♥♥♥ing random colonists creator !!!

I just want one guy who looks like me who is between 18-30 years with dark brown hair and i dont want look like Mother♥♥♥♥ing Jabba the Hutt or Hulk in nude :D )

I love games where i can have a "connection" with "my" group, and for that i need someone who looks like me a little bit. I must click every time about 5000+ times before i find someone who have ♥♥♥♥ing dark brown short hair who is not fat ( i dont have problem with fat people but many colonists look like Jabba the Hutt 1:1 or Hulk ) most time when i find someone who looks like me he`s disabled. ( 1 time "my Charakter" had a problem with the hearth in critical condition, 2 time he denied all important works like mining building shooting fighting cooking ...
1 time he had problem with the leg and with his brain and he was ugly. )

For the maker of the game please make something that u can choose what u want/search in the colonist creator ( woman/man, hair colour, hair cut ) because i hate the random creator so much
I LOVE the game but i hate it if i need 90% of my game time to find 1 ♥♥♥♥ing colonist who looks a little bit like me.

Can u make a personal Colonist option where u can make 1 colonist how u want?
I mean only from the look, so that anyone can always use his fav. colonist in the team, with personal stats like: how often he died, how he died, how many colonists/animals u killed with him, whats the Average survival time, ..... :D

#I love Rimworld

Pls dont think thats a Hate vs u`re game because I LOVE IT !
I love games like Rimworld, Prison Architekt,.... so much and i think games like this are 1000 times better as then most triple A title like COD BF who are just copys of the predecessors.

( sry if i write some words wrong/in the wrong time because my english isn`t the best)
Hope u know what i mean with the Text and i hope you will not find it as an art attack on your personality because i think u are AWSOME and u`re GAME is GODLIKE I LOVE IT

There was a mod for this but it hasn't been updated for 14. I am hopeful someone will take it over and get it updated though soon.

This is exactly what the Prepare Carefully mod did. Unfortunately, that developer stopped updating it. Hopefully someone else will pick up the torch or Tynan integrates this into the base game.
So in short, no you can't right now.

With the scenario system you can edit them and add conditions for colonist generation like between x age and x age or % chance to have certain traits. Its not as quick and easy as the mod was but it gets the job done,

It won't work on the Steam Version of the game though. :(
It needs updating.

Yeah, I think i agree with OP. The Dev needs to give an option to save a colonist, so we can reuse him / her at the next new game we play. My reason is simple, because sometime, I have too attached with that character, and when I restart, I feel a lost because my favorite colonist is no where to find.

My desire for this mod is for more evil purposes, it would make for great experimentation, colony of psychopath cannibals? Yes please.

Try not to get hung up with a particular colonist, a well placed calamity can kill them. In some cases you can't recover in hard mode.

Your request is fine, but look at what you're doing to try to achieve your result (spending a long time with the random creator instead of playing the game).

If you wanted a true representation of you in the game your character would have to be "obsessive/perfectionist", working slower because he takes a long time to "get things just the way he wants", and some mood where he gets overly attached to something, maybe his pet, maybe some object, and he spends time taking care of it, and if anything bad happens to that object he gets very frustrated and stops working to go write in his journal how annoyed he is.

The flipside could be that when he does finish working the quality is above average since sometimes the details he obsessed about turn out to be desired by other people as well.

you can make a scenario where every starting colonist has a certain trait, in this case the cannibal, psychopath.

Pretty sure that Prepare Carefully mod will not be updated. It was announced by the author of the mod.

Many people over the last few years have made comments that "Prepare Carefully" should have been part of the vanilla game all along but Tynan never added it (up to alpha 13) and I have no idea if it's part of alpha 14 but I would be very let down if it wasn't because it was such a needed mod so you could create all your starting colonists with the exact skills, traits, looks, health issues, etc. etc. etc... that you wanted them to have.. So I can only hope EdB continues to update "Prepare Carefully" for alpha 14...

Damn.. I just found on a cached page from Ludeon.com that you're right.. I feared for the worse when i saw you wrote this and I am very sad that it's true.. Such a great mod now gone. :(
