How to choose base style for objects and items with ideology?

[CanadianCogs]

Thats all. I just want the base look of the items and construction from the game while still haveing ideology enabled.

Following this. I thought I knew at one point, but I either forgot, or never did know!

can you not choose the style when you make your idiology?

The more I think of it, the more I think you just have to make sure the one doing the building has the ideology. Not sure you can select to have someone without the ideology build in that style. And whoever does build something WILL use their ideology style. But not 100% on that at all.

if you have multiple to choose from you first need to put down the bp and then choose a artstyle....

When first editing an ideologion and picking 'style', it shows what objects will be changed by said style. If you want, you can just remove it entirely. You won't have a ritual ambient music, but you also won't have any stylistic changes. It's the little part at the upper left, below the structure icons and to the left of the little music playback button.

Im just curious how to have the style be the generic buildings while useing the classic like idiology.

Any chance someone can show a screenshot of the interface that allows you to choose style, please.

Just gave it a try in game, and maybe the issue is all my pawns have the one ideology right now, I was still expecting to be able to set the basic, no-style at all as if ideology wasn't on. Is that not available when using ideology?

If you want to edit an ideology mid-play, turn on dev mode and then in the ideology window there should be a 'DEV: Edit mode' with a red X to the right of it. Click that X to turn it into a green checkmark, do your edits, uncheck the mark again and pretend it was always that way.

Forgot to add, the DEV: Edit Mode will be at the absolute top right of the window. You want the X to the right, the X to the left is for 'DEV: Show all' which shows hidden ideologies for the ancients and such.

Looking at your own screen, you have Show All checked, not Edit Mode.

[Steelfleece]

I'm saying, look at the screenshot you showed. See the top right of the ideology window where it says 'DEV: Show all' then a green checkmark followed by 'DEV: Edit mode' followed by a red X? Click the red X to turn it into a green checkmark. Then you can edit the ideology.
