Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Puppeteer introduces a brand new, rare psycaster path available only to those who studied the secret arts in their childhood - notably, high imperial nobles. Puppeteer is a path focused on providing the master of puppets with mindless servants that he or she directly controls. It allows the puppeteer to move their consciousness and personality to a random puppet, essentially allowing for a wicked sort of immortality.

Puppeteers are able to subdue their prisoners with a twisted psychic abomination called the brain leech, which will lay the foundations of a brand new puppet. Such brain leech can then seize control of the prisoner if the puppetmaster sends out a puppeting signal. Puppets care not for recreation, joy or comfort, and exist only to serve the puppet master. Any experience they gained is shared with their overlord, and if they are chosen, they may be ascended - their existence fizzles out in a blaze of utter destruction, while anything that they were becomes food for the evil psycaster that puppeted them.

As stated before, this Psycaster path is only available to those of Imperial backstory, similar to the Archotechist. Your colonists may, however, become puppeteers if they gain a puppeteer neurotrainer.

I ain't gonna fill out a bug report but just an fyi for anyone here. Do not travel a gravship when you got pawns under subjugation effect. It will remain in place but won't take effect when landing at the next site. Meaning you will have to reapply it and wait the whole 7 day count down again.

does mind jump work on archon?

It would be really funny if you added the ability to physically transform someone's appearance, end of time style, I'd love to be able to make stupid doctor who references in my silly little warcrime game. Also I think it should work on captured wild prisoners

Be careful people as this mod has a crazy performance impact, even if not using other mods (only the required) and even without a puppeteer pawn

Changelogs would be good, but in these cases, you can go to the Github repo and check for new commits to see what happened.

https://github.com/Vanilla-Expanded/VanillaPsycastsExpanded-Puppeteer/commits/main/

For this update, it was one commit.

Commit text:

Improve puppet mental state handling
The puppet will only enter mental state if their puppeteer successfully enters one, rather than any time they attempt to (but possibly fail)

Can you subjugate prisoners that you can only enslave?

Heads up for anyone with a puppeted prisoner that isn't converting into a colonist;
I had to prisoner->release him before he actually joined the colony.

In the past they just auto-converted for me.
