Medieval Things: Rogue Work

Medieval Things: Rogue Work adds a collection of morally questionable, socially manipulative professions to your colony. These non-violent specialists use charm, deception, and subtle exploitation to benefit your colony in underhanded ways — all without swinging a sword.

Targets visitors and pack animals, stealing items from their inventory (excluding silver).
Prefers caravan animals over pawns.
Base success chance: 75% — increases with each success.
Failure results in a mood debuff.

Attempts to poach caravan animals at night.
Only targets animals not carrying inventory.
Base success chance: 50%, improved by Animal skill.
Failure causes a mood debuff.

Initiates formal, faction-respecting conversations with visitors to improve goodwill.
Base success chance: 40%, improved by Social skill and beauty.
Failure results in awkward rejection and a mood debuff.

Trades the cheapest item in their inventory for a higher-value item with visitors.
Always succeeds, but Social skill affects the quality of the outcome.
Does not attempt to act without a tradeable item, requires at least one item in inventory.

Secretly obtains Psylink Neuroformers from Empire visitors — for a price.
Only activates if the colony has enough silver to pay the smuggling fee.
Requires the Royalty DLC to smuggle Neuroformers, but modders can extend this system for other items and factions.

All rogue professions are handled through a unified Roguework job category. These pawns are not assassins or warriors — they are manipulative opportunists operating in the social shadows of your colony.

The Roguework job is higher up in the jobs do the limited amount of time a pawn has to act before visitors leaves the map. Recommending setting priority to 1 for this.

Colonist will attempt to conduct Roguework when coming across non-hostile factions on other maps.

⚠ Safe to add mid-save
❌ Not safe to remove mid-save (uses custom comps and job drivers). You can just uncheck the Roguework job category for all pawns.
