No Random Relations

Description
Description

This mod disables the creation of random relations during the game. No more blood relatives, ex-wives, lovers, etc showing up that should have been left behind. Relationships formed by your colonists during the course of the game, "social" relations, and children (if using a mod which enables such a thing) should have relations generated normally.

Only newly created pawns will be affected. Existing pawns (including ones in the world) will not have their current relationships removed. If you wish to clear those as well, check out RuntimeGC or other mods which can clean up world pawns.

As of the 1.5 Update, I have fixed and resolved any Biotech issues.
As with previous versions, if you find that there are relatives appearing in a playthrough despite having No Random Relations installed, this is normally as of a result of adding mods mid playthrough that add new pawns to the world map, this can be via New Factions, New Races, New Threats, etc. No Random Relations patches all world pawns at the beginning of a playthrough, when everything is generated.

I'm curious as to how this affects NPC relationships. Are those cleared as well, coz that would be weird. Iunno about removing relationships entirely though - like, is mod this scenario specific?

For example, if a pod falls to the ground, and your colonists were New Arrivals it should be possible (if however unlikely) that pawn may be related ton one of your colony pawns, but I agree that being related to some native tribal should be impossible.

Of course, the reverse holds true as well. A New Tribe colony should have relatives on the planet, with a higher chance of encountering them - not no chance of an off-worlder relative.

is it possible to only remove specific relationships? Like if i wanted "father" to still show up but never have "brother" randomly appear

Was ambushed and had to kill the ambushee's daughter. She started a cascading failure that ultimately wiped my colony out. About the dumbest fucking thing I've seen in this already frustrating game.

Will relatives and friends of captives still show up during the raid?

@Johnny Correct, the creation of new outposts is creating new relations outside the scope of this mods functions

Wait is it because of More Faction Interaction mod? Due to pirates creating new outposts/colonies over time?

I'm still getting pawns with relations to my original colonists, tough to be honest I've been adding mods mid playthrough although none of them should've added any factions, incidents or races, just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation or if this mod is still working fine.

这个mod会让敌人的亲戚关系失效吗

Thank you so much. Just feels impossible to relate to a big chunk of my colony being sad over some dudes they've never even met, *just* because those guys were blood-related. Especially because those people were literally in the middle of trying to kill them and ransack their home.
