Hope it helps anyone!

This can be regarded as a truly great mod. I hope there will be a sequel. Thank you!!!

it works but there are no options to control the percentage before raiders flee.

Seems to be working. Tested with 300~ mods

Does this work without even needing an update? I might as well give it a try...
Galzein Jul 25 @ 1:53pm 
do these projects have a github?
Khorne Flakes Jul 21 @ 4:57pm 
Assuming Murmur is actually done with these mods, you could request Mlies(the guy whose made it his mission to fix outdated mods) to update this... presuming Murmur would be okay with it.
Groucho Jul 21 @ 11:59am 
Fingers crossed for an update or continuation, this was one of my essentials.

Waiting till someone take over this mod and faction raids cooldown. We need these 2 mods updated...
Khorne Flakes Jul 14 @ 7:01pm 
I'm going to assume that since these mods(this, Faction Raid Cooldown, Faction Resources) are delisted, they're never gonna get an update?

1.6?

I'd like to second a request for an anomaly patch. It looks like cultists (who are usually genies and thus have the wimp trait) will flee despite having reduced pain perception. Maybe disable the wimps always flee setting as a fix?
Farbott Apr 23 @ 10:20pm 
Shamblers seem to try to self preserve, any hope of an anomaly look for patches?

This mod is causing error log after the enemy that is fleeing left the map, is it possible for you to check why this happens?

So the higher i set the "Pain % to Flee" in the mod options the higher pain must a pawn be suffering to flee right? because im having trouble finding this to trigger
Willow Oct 22, 2024 @ 9:06pm 
It'd be pretty neat to have an option so that unwaveringly loyal pawns never flee. Makes sense to me, die for the cause and all that.

Can confirm fungoid related shenanigans. Custom race enemies who have mind coalescence also sent my own pawn with the same gene running off the map to never be seen again!
orion♪ Aug 8, 2024 @ 11:39pm 
cai seems to work with self preservation - only combat issue i had (which may not be because of either mods) was the ancients fleeing after having a crashed ship event where i killed two fungal ancients (from VE fungoid). after about a day or so, i got a notification saying the ancients in the ancient danger were leaving. that was the only issue

I would consider increasing what it takes for raiders to flee, it is really low rn, a single shot and they run away, and then if enough of them do that they just run away even sooner. It's like you're barely fighting a raid.

IMO, I would create an option that could for example prevent fleeing until maybe 25% of the raid is dead or downed.

Then, I would have it be so a group of 2-3 pawns decide to flee together instead each pawn deciding individually because it looks really weird when you have an entire group of raiders and then one guy just randomly starts running away. (or a mix of the two).

Thats just my thoughts on the mod.
hlo120435 Jul 20, 2024 @ 7:29am 
kind of a turnoff. i think it would be cool if raiders setup a designated med zone for enemy pawns to fall back to when injured, instead of giving up.
Marcus Jul 19, 2024 @ 11:27pm 
Does this mode make enemies rescue their downed allies when fleeing?
D3K43 Jul 5, 2024 @ 1:38am 
This mod was a lifesaver for me when CE wasn't updated to 1.5.
TehJustOne May 20, 2024 @ 10:27pm 
It would be nice if there can be a variable range of when enemies will retreat. Ie: at 25-40% pain for example
Definitely a Virus May 5, 2024 @ 5:20pm 
Just wanted to report that the new shamblers, despite being mindless undead who cannot feel pain, will flee when injured
uhhmm Apr 30, 2024 @ 10:35pm 
I feel like it'd be interesting to have a setting for a % of enemy's to "courage up" after being hit and fleeing for a while.
Basically like they go "Man I don't wanna die, but I can't let my friends die"
Murmur  [author] Apr 27, 2024 @ 9:34pm 
When half of a raid is no longer able to fight the whole raid flees. That's just the default way Rimworld works, this mod doesn't affect that part so the settings wont matter.
(≡◉‿‿◉≡) Apr 27, 2024 @ 9:29pm 
My settings is set at 10% health percentage instead of pain. I managed to kill about 30+ of them, but they have like 30-40 left and they're hurrying to left the map. Or maybe my settings is wrong??
Murmur  [author] Apr 27, 2024 @ 5:40pm 
I didn't change anything related to when the entire raid flees, that's all vanilla so if there's some other mod that changes that, it should work with this one. Granted I have no idea if a mod like that exists but it sounds like it should.
Leoraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Apr 27, 2024 @ 5:38pm 
I'd love a setting like that as well, if it's not too much trouble
(≡◉‿‿◉≡) Apr 22, 2024 @ 12:38am 
Hello, can you please add a setting like if their number is reduced to 5-8 they will flee? I really love this mod but they still flee even with 30 raiders left.
Murmur  [author] Apr 20, 2024 @ 9:00am 
I have no idea, if they can feel pain, probably. If they don't feel pain, probably not.
Dümbük Enişte Apr 20, 2024 @ 8:55am 
Does this make dehumanized pawns from Anomaly be able to run?
Murmur  [author] Apr 17, 2024 @ 9:13am 
Yes

Hello, safe to remove?
Winter Apr 4, 2024 @ 8:37pm 
You're welcome. Thank YOU for this mod. :steamthumbsup:
Murmur  [author] Apr 4, 2024 @ 8:27pm 
@Winterwolf, thanks for the info that's super helpful
Winter Apr 4, 2024 @ 8:22pm 
Make sure you grab Tacticowl https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2936140288 (it includes optimised versions of Run n' Gun, Dual Weild & Search & Destroy) All features are toggleable. Run n Gun has a Flee n Gun option (they will open fire as long as they have line of sight & are in range) Personally I raise Flee n Gun scale to 80% as there are seemingly very few wimps & cowards in RimWorld.

So in short, Tactiowl is the perfect compliment to this mod for those who want more spice in their combat soup.
Murmur  [author] Apr 4, 2024 @ 7:33pm 
@Dax, that's interesting, I might have to try it out sometime, never used Run and Gun before.
Dax Apr 4, 2024 @ 3:46pm 
I wonder how well this pairs with Run and Gun, cus the raiders will defend themselves as they flee and won't have their backs lit up.
Murmur  [author] Mar 30, 2024 @ 11:40am 
@Aira, I don't know, give it a shot and let me know.
Aira Mar 30, 2024 @ 11:38am 
Compat with cai?
Murmur  [author] Mar 16, 2024 @ 11:33am 
@ALE199, yes I will definitely be updating this mod soon.
ALE199 Mar 16, 2024 @ 5:51am 
Hey! love this mod, would you be able to update for 1.5?
Murmur  [author] Nov 30, 2023 @ 9:56am 
@lordvetinari, that was something I had looked into before but couldn't figure out a way to implement. I may try again in the future.
lordvetinari Nov 30, 2023 @ 2:56am 
Is there a way (or would it be possible to implement an option) to make it so that turrets and my army stop targeting fleeing enemies without midromanagement? It feels rather cowardly to me, plus it's a wast of defense time when you're facing a huge raid. and there are other people who still pose a threat to the colony
Wolf_Speed Sep 9, 2023 @ 10:24am 
I feel like this mod would fit good as an ideology precept, so maybe some religions would rather flee and keep their people alive. And you could maybe make an opposite preset where they rush at you and never stop fighting unless they are seriously injured.
Murmur  [author] Jul 12, 2023 @ 5:57pm 
yeah
(≡◉‿‿◉≡) Jul 12, 2023 @ 5:48pm 
@Murmur hello, can I remove this halfway?
Graves Jun 5, 2023 @ 4:16am 
@Farbott Zombieland in general is awful for performance
Farbott Jan 14, 2023 @ 1:46am 
Is that what may be causing lag for me? Ive always had some issues with jombieland and I never figure'd it might be this.
