Rituals ending prematurely?

[Woobie Woobie]

Hi, I looked around and did not find anything about this, so here is my issue:

Some of my rituals seem to end prematurely, ending up with them being disappointing, sometimes giving -12 mood, and this is obviously rather annoying.

Is there something specific causing this termination? Or is it just something to live with.

Thanks!

I've had an odd thing where dance ball rituals get cut short and have to be started a few times occasionally because the dance ball loses power for some reason despite very full batteries. It's never actually eaten the cooldown or caused any mood loss though, just forced me to start it upwards of 3 times.


Edit: i just remembered an old old thread from years ago about something like your issue and dubs bad hygene was causing ideology rituals break. I'd have expected it to have been fixed over such a long period though.

I don't have that mod installed, but I could see how that could be. For more info, it's one of those ideograms, or whatever they are called, not a disco ball that I have causing my orgies to end basically the moment a couple people get there. So odd

Do You have work scheduled when they end?

[Woobie Woobie]

Only sleep and anything, I will test if it is because sleep, thanks :D

I for myself only had the problem when i schedule work - probably because when i did that, it´s the most hours per day. I also asked myself why it happens, and then i found that they would always leave the exact time, when the work schedule begins. Never had it happen with sleep or meditation, but it might be about the times.

To add on this - You can´t even start a ritual (i tried execution) when work is scheduled - it would insta end after You click to begin it. First i thought about a bug as well, but i guess it´s rather an oversight. Imho a ritual - a manual set up ritual - should overwrite whatever schedule there is.

Also they would all end when You draft someone - but i learned that early, after i did it the first time.

One possibility/circumstance for abandoning ritual is if the temperature is unsafe for a participant. Cold snap / heatwave for example.

Hello, I have returned:
I have set the schedules of everybody to anything, at all times. The ritual still ended prematurely. Dunno why

I have checked, and the room is safe, nothing that should be causing it, but good idea

What ritual is it? Is it something which demands some prisoner to move somewhere, but he falls unconscious? Or someone leads the ritual, but walks off to breastfeed their kid? Some mass social fight? Someone would fall unconscious because malnutrition? Only guessing, as i never had it happen outside of the above mentioned case - but i don´t do that many rituals. Usually only once per year.

Could it be a mod problem?

It's an orgy, think it just requires everybody to gather in one place. Like 3-4 people get there, then it ends immediately.
It could be a mod problem, I do not know where I would start looking, was just trying to see if anyone know something c:

I don´t think there´s an orgy in the vanilla game, so You perhaps need to look for the mod which adds it.

My guess is now - that all the vanilla rituals work, because You said only some do not work.

Indeed that is very much a mod ritual so always good to check of it's just that ritual

I think we may have found it then, something wonky with the mod.

Thanks everyone for your input :D
