How the hell do you actually prevent slave rebellions

[victor]

All of my slaves have collars and harnesses, my halls are lined with terror buildings, they're at 100% suppression 24/7

And I'm still getting constant rebellions. Just put down a grand rebellion and the instant they're all out of bed after getting tended I get another rebellion

[Conflict]

Yeah, I’m having same issue. It’s driving me insane!

[S1]

out of curiosity how many colonists do you have and how many slaves do you have? it might have something to do with that. I only occasionally get rebellions and I don't use many terror buildings but i only have two slaves

Its how the game is. Can't have you actually enjoy the benefits of slavery now can we?

Btw I believe they need to be kept away from weapons ... this includes wood piles which can be used as log weapons lol. You did keep them away from wood right? It's a very dangerous substance ... as soon as they see a piece of log on the ground or within a few tiles radius, they will instantly start formenting rebellion and planning to take you out with the infamous log.

Still can. Just sell the slaves to some other faction. Get money.

Wood (and some other things like smoke grenade launchers) don't effect slave rebellion chance anymore.

I'd assume if it's constant there's actual weapons available to them or a disproportionate amount of slaves compared to colonists.

Besides having a weapon nearby, having a path to the edge of the map also severally increase the odds of a rebellion.
But even if you do everything you can the chance is never zero.

Off the top of my head, the amount of slaves you have, the move speed of an individual slave, low mood of the slave, proximity to weapons, and proximity to the edge of the map all increase the chance of a slave rebellion. Suppression decreases it.

For the record, I currently have 11 slaves, and the rebellion interval is roughly every 10 years.

Explosive collars are a thing that mods add

[Astasia]

You can't prevent them, you just reduce the frequency. If you look at their rebellion frequency you will see what is affecting it. You should probably aim to keep it above like 2 years.

By not having slaves, you monster.

Or at the very least having the number of slaves stay half or less than the number of non-slaves in the colony. When the slaves outnumber your own pawns you are basically asking for a revolt.

[akabishop]

My peeps demand slaves, as it is demanded by their ideology. I had like 2x more slaves than free people. All armed in melee weapons. Normal clothes. No rebellion until something happened (do not know what was the trigger) but now they are rebelling like 4times a day (in-game day). Decreasing amount of slaves did not help at all.

This playthrough is unplayable now, either remove slaves and have people mad, or have slaves and fight in constant rebellion.

Anomoly actually fixes this with lobtomies. Otherwise pretty sure they are garenteed eventually. A slave with a whole brain is a slave that can dissent.

Please do make a new thread don't necromancy an old one.

[akabishop]

Anomaly didn't help a lot, didn't know about lobotomies.
I found a possible problem, it's silly as my slaves are armed. Raids make your arsenal grow, and amount of weapons now is quite greater than earlier.

So, no need for collars, no need for any other preventive means like terror buildings, just smelt away all not needed weapons. Need confirmation on that though.

Necromancy is a valid skill. Since google and other search engines post to 'most reliable' information source and made me come here

Weapons will definitely cause that sort of issue. I do find collars pretty useful as it lowers upkeep work from wardens as opposed to directly preventing rebellion.
