VFE - Ancients and Empire at Peace

i treasure this mod

THANK YOU FOR THIS was so strange that this was never mentioned anywhere on the mod page for VFE A good job well done!!

Lol, just closed down the game to add the "New Vault" faction to the "except" list for the empire by Hand.

in case anyone needs this for other modded factions here is how you add them manually (probably exactly what the Mod does here)

save your game with the faction you want to play as, Open the safefile (its a .rws file but you can open it like any .xml file with Notepad++ or similar tools) and search (with the CTRL+F function) for "faction" one of the first 10 results should be your player faction ( in this cas ei believe VFE_Ancients ) This factionname is hardcoded to the faction you play as regardless of how you call your faction ingame. Now you know your factionname.

then open this file: steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/Data/Royalty/Defs/FactionDefs/Faction_Empire.xml

and look for "PermanentEnemyToEveryoneExcept"
add <li>YourFactionNameHere</li>

save and you are good to go.
always make a copy of the file just in case a typo bricks the file or something. you never know.

I seem to be having issues here, in this case not because of the Empire, but because of the new Deserter faction!

I thiiiink they've doubled-down on the Ancients vs Empire, and just assumed Ancients + Deserters.

Could you take a look? Maybe... nullify if so?

Helpful!

Thanks for the patch king (or queen)

Thank you!

Updated to 1.4
Let me know if you have any issues ;)

Please update to 1.4

As someone roleplaying the ancient it never made sense how we are just hostile to everyone and even ourselves from sleep caskets or openning vaults.
