Probably not :) It's a good idea, but eh

I'll add it to the todo for this mod, for when I'm really bored.

@ChoGGi
not sure if you're still modding for this game, but in case you are, I have a suggestion if its possible. say you have an engineer, but you make that engineer work in a botanist position, they spend the 25 sols learning this new Spec, but then let's say that you move that same colonist back to an engineering work position at some point in the future, I think in that case, that engineer turned botanist should be able to "remember" and or "relearn" their past knowledge a lot easier and faster this second time, something like taking between 5 to 10 sols ish, for them to relearn a previously known spec.

though also might consider how many times/layers of knowledge an individual colonist can do this, like how many details of their previous professions/specs do they still remember before they no longer get the faster learning benefit.

@ferschltobias I updated my Colonist More Hover Info to show spec by exp days trained:

most of ´em, I mean

Not all my other mods ;)

just want to tell you: this mod has no disable mod in the mod options like all other of your mods (otherwise it is perfect)

I'll take a look.

following upgrade idea: a counter how long the colonist needs to specialize
(only if it isn´t too much of an inconvenience)

Thanks again, sorry to bother this much.

good point, updated

(thanks for making it easy for me to update)

Thanks, leaves only saves with broken specialists, maybe if the condition obj.specialist ~= work.specialist was something like not obj.traits[work.specialist] so that we can refresh setting solstotrain to 1 or waiting 25 sols..

v1.0
Re-fangled setting spec.

My last sentence should probably be != nil, not != "none", since i saw specialist == "none" and traits["none"] == true

Oh, that's probably it, thanks (it's older mod that I should give more tlc to).

Maybe not use SetSpecialization because it clears traits[self.specialist] if the colonist has the specialization.

Martian University uses AddTrait and SetSpecialization seems to be called by trait:apply in AddTrait already if needed.

For saves it may be needed to process all colonists with specialist != "none" and check if they have traits[specialist] set to true....

Thanks for the update!!!

good to know, thanks

Thank you for the quick update, it fixed the problem in my save.

Updated, it might work, but I'm not really sure why it doesn't already...

I tested it and I can confirm that if this mod set up with the override on, it does something so that the game doesn't count those colonists that got the specialization by the mod, they don't show up in the command center either if I filter to a specific specialization.

But they show up in the command center if the mod is set that way that the "Override Existing Spec" is set to Off, and they count for the expedition too.

Probably because of the new update, but even if the colonist become a specialist, when I start an expedition needing some specific specialist, they don't count.

A biorobot is a normal colonist with the biorobot trait added. I never added any checks to skip biorobots, so it should work fine for any colonist.

Just wanted to clarify since I had some biorobots that didn't seem to be specializing. I may have counted the number of sols wrong. Thanks for the response.

biorobots are colonists

Heya ChoGGi. Thanks for all the great work you do. Your mods make the game so much more enjoyable. I do have a quick question about this mod. Does it work on Colonists only or Biorobots as well?

thx cool

Updated

hired == already working at a workplace

that would be super nice.

what exactly is the definition / difference between newly hired colonists (from earth) / whats an already hired colonist / is that with no specialisation?

sorry i just started the game a few days ago ^^

"Works on saved games, but only on newly hired colonists (you can use Expanded Cheat Menu to fire everyone)."

I guess I should add some code to make it work with already hired people.

is this still working in 2021? i manually edited the time to 2 sols but it dont seem to work?

v0.5
Hopefully fixed the NonSpecialistPerformancePenalty issue (thanks Dunkelzahn).

I'll add something to update the nonsepec.

Hi, Choggi, sorry for that but i found another bug :). When the colonist get his speciality he still have the NonSpecialistPerformancePenalty applied on him until you fire him and put him back ( only refreshed with SetWorkplace() ). I have tried to modify your code with a few lines taken in ChangeWorkplacePerformance() of the colonist class. After i tried that code in a newDay() event in a other code file but it doesn't work. I'm beginner in lua so i'm probably doing something wrong. I sent you a friend invite, if you agree i'd like to send you by mail what i have tried to do.

nice mod, thanks ChoGGi!
