Xenotype XML

[LoboOscuro]

Got a mod that lets me control what pawns spawn in factions, great except it doesn't recognise custom xenotypes. Grabbed the mod that lets you export your custom xenotypes to use them with the first mod, it worked for one now it refuses to do anything else.

I tried looking up how to make a XML to slap into the def folder but I keep getting guides on making factions, I just want the xenotype XML. Does anybody have any advice or guides to do what I'm trying to do?

Why not just use the one, single mod that already does all of the things you are asking for?
Or do you mean it doesn't recognize "mod added" rather than "custom" xenotypes?

This one does everything you talked about, assuming you actually did mean custom xenotype.

I use to use that but it's not updated and it's kinda messy to tweak. Increase one option and all the others decrease, never played nice. I'm trying to use total faction control, it doesn't recognise custom made xenotypes so I tried to use it's recommended xenotype exporter and that's where the issue with the XML files come in.

It isn't updated because it still works fine.

yet there's reports of it crashing the game?
Regardless it's still very messy sadly, you have to tweak every single pawn type that spawns in the faction. miss one and suddenly you have baseliners spawning in your orc tribe or something XD

don't get me wrong, if I can;t get anything else working I'll attempt this again but it's a last resort.

I've played hundreds of hours of the game in 1.5 with that mod. "Reports of it crashing the game" are likely the typical ignorant user who blames mod x, y, or z when they really don't have a clue and have 0 logs nor any other useful debug information to show.

You see that kind of 'report' in the comments of pretty much every single item on the workshop if you scroll through them.
