I lied.
Finally use the social opinion thought def
Add option to disable it.
Add option to require shared passions or not.

Last update I think for a while.

Hey, this doesn't seem to be taking the Talking stat into account. I have a slave without a tongue, and she's chattering away, but only with Craftsmanship talk events.

Just unsubscribe. you might get red errors the first time you load up to play after, but they are safe to ignore. after you save and reload they should be gone!

Not planning to uninstall but how do we do it just in case?

Updated. :)

@Jr.Troopa thanks for the info

Pawn education does a similar thing:

vanilla social interactions adds a similar effect as this mod if people are looking for a replacement that will stay up to date.

Basic testing shows now obvious errors, however I noticed the frequency was much less.

Will Craftsmanship have any issues with Speak Up?

It has some sort of framework, so maybe not.

If the "interests" mod uses the games built in method for passions, it should work fine. :)

Any idea of how this interacts with the "Interests" mod? (in short it adds new passions, most of them with a twist of some kind)

I likely goofed my loadfolders xml, I'll fix it tonight when I get home. Temp solution would be to copy the folders into 1.3

thank you so much!:)

Basic update for 1.3 in place. Life is pretty busy. Sorry!

So, concept: turn the bug into a feature: If pawns talk about a topic that one is incapable of, on average (99% of the time) they just react as if insulted, disliking each other a little more and getting a mood debuff, but on the odd occasion, it can remove the "cannot perform job" for that skill

@vorshlumpf I've noticed this as well, pawns with passions are just teaching any other pawn those skills, a little annoying that they're teaching pawns that aren't even assigned that work type

"Pawns will often chat about skills they both are passionate in."

In my game, this restriction isn't in place. Pawns without any passion in a skill will talk about it, even to other pawns who also don't have any passion for that skill.

I also think the boost from these conversations is too much. It would be nice if we could adjust the amount in settings.

By the way, I noticed a typo: "... spoke about amputating limps."

Hello!
I'm interested in translating this mod, where should i send it when its done?

Award given, good work :3

jelly, i want you to know, you are an absolute champion for maintaining this number of reuploads.

It seems like the mod is activating for pretty much any pawns, regardless of whether they have either a passion or a high level in the skill. Generally one of them does, but the other one could be a 2 skill no passioned pawn and they'll still have the convo.

Quick question - is this mod compatible with [D] Interests ? Thanks!

Should have seen it a couple of patches ago... it was REALLY op then lol.

Thanks Jelly! It's mods like this that make the game feel complete. I'll give it a go here soon.

@Kryox I've just pushed an update attempting to address this. Seems ok on my end so far.

Mod is great but it seems to be happening non-stop. The once pointless banter of two pawns passing is now always a comment about sharing skills. It's actually pretty rare that my pawns have any normal conversations anymore.

not at all you got my blessings ;)

@YodaDoge! Are you back to rimworld?! Let me know if you want the reigns back!

Sweet!
