Thanks for all the time when I could use this mod in my games. For some reason it was very important to me that my colonists look very different.
Glad to hear that the mod has been implemented into the base/main version of the game. This is no small tribute to the Creator.
May Randy be kind to you.

cleaning out my old mods and delighted to see this has been rolled into the base game. congrats

Read below Superhumanon, honestly you've got no excuse.

1.4?

based beardds vanilla now

No, it's integrated into vanilla game itself.

So, this mod is integrated into the Hair expanded 'base' mod now, right? it's good to unsubscribe from this to clean up my mod list some?

@Oskar Potocki Your bleach analogy is addressing an argument I didn't make. If you had actually read and understood the point of my comment, you'd know I wasn't defending people who used this mod for 1.3. It clearly isn't compatible for 1.3.

My point was that it wasn't clear why the mod isn't compatible for 1.3. Not until you just updated the description after 7 pages of discussion about it.

But it's updated now. So setting aside the poor reading comprehension and non-sequitur response, I think we're done here.

@Lennybolt7 Yes, it does now. At the time of writing my comment, it did not. He just updated it.

@nullptr This is mentioned in the description. Right under details.

"WARNING: This mod is now obsolete and has been included in the main game."
Reading the description helps immensely

... what if I drizzle it with a bit of ammonia?

If someone reads a bottle of bleach that says ‘do not drink’ as ‘do not drink, but maybe add it to the pasta sauce so I can eat it’, that’s on them.

Let's say someone comes across this page and sees that the last supported version was "1.2".

How does that person tell the difference between these two scenarios:
1) The mod author just hasn't gotten around to updating the mod for "1.3" (so maybe prompt the mod author for an update in the comments)
2) The mod doesn't even need a "1.3" version, because it's content was integrated into the base game (so no prompting necessary)

They can't tell the difference. Not without browsing through the comment section, which isn't an ideal place for information to be stored, hence why you include the FAQ section.

That was the point of people saying that info should probably be in the description. You'd get less people asking you to update the mod, because they wouldn't have to wonder why the last version was back in "1.2".

But I guess answering the same question over and over again in the comment section with increasing passive aggression gets the job done as well.

MY PLEASURE

This mod has been implemented with the official 1.3 update to RimWorld. No need to update. THANK YOU.

HELLO PLEASE UPDATE YOUR MOD THANK YOU

Then it's probably fine to run it - it just has no effect, as beards in vanilla use a different system, so these beards simply don't appear in the game.

Whatever you do, don't report any errors to any modders if you're running mods not compatible with 1.3. Every time I see such errors reported, I close the case by saying 'Don't report issues when you're running outdated mods'.

there are only errors in the log because this mod is incompatible with 1.3 (which is why i asked for clarification) most other mods do not have this issue

Fortunately the game will spew out errors when you have this mod active on 1.3, so that should give players an idea that it does indeed NOT work.

Unless you will say that people disregard error too as ‘it might work’, in which case I lose all hope

The majority of the playerbase are wrong

The majority of the playerbase that mod Rimworld use logical thinking to determine that if a mod is not updated for 1.3, and does not acknowledge the existence of 1.3, then it has a decent chance of working and the mod author has not had the time/effort to spare to update the mod or the description. This is especially true with mods that don't alter core gameplay mechanics (like mods that just add additional textures).

If you don't want to follow suit and make it easier for the majority of the playerbase that's completely up to you of course, but don't attempt to shift blame away from your own actions when people ask for clarification.

You are a smart person, you understand the same thought processes that I described above. You just don't agree with it, so you tell everyone that the way you have chosen to "inform" us that the mod should not be used with 1.3 is the correct way to do so.

It's as wrong as the people who say "ignore all errors in the log! They don't matter!"

Fair enough, but it's not like it's that troublesome of a request. Many mods do still work with newer versions even if they aren't updated to say so, so I can understand why someone would want a clarification. It's not wrong to use mods that aren't technically updated to 1.3 but still work with newer versions.

Nah I'm just being trolled by people. Please note I was not rude until someone said:

'please indicate to others that this mod is not compatible with 1.3'

This mod literally doesn't have a 1.3 version in 'compatible versions' section.

you're being unnecessarily rude to people who are asking a reasonable question lol

L'eau de toxicité

It's not my fault :)

The description does state the mod is compatible with 1.2 version of the game. Why did you assume it's compatible with 1.3?

Do you also assume it's compatible with console edition? With Terraria? Do I need to list out all the things that it doesn't work with?

I'm done here. Don't call me toxic if you're the essence of toxicity.

just put like "DONT USE FOR ANY VERSION ABOVE 1.2" in the desc then. why are you so insistent on blaming everyone else for your faults?

Well, have you tried perhaps to write it down in that description that people absolutely never read???

Description already says 'USE FOR 1.1 and 1.2.'

You're right I'm stubborn, that's where I draw the line. I won't update description with every new rimword version simply because some people think 'it might still work'.

I don't think he's toxic.. just stubborn lol

just add in the desc "DONT USE FOR 1.3" no need to be a prick

dude like half my mod list is "non compatible" mods, simple stuff normally works fine and i give a lil update in the comments (like i did here) to ask if its compatible and if they are still working on the mod.

YOU. ARE. TOXIC.

‘Work fine’. No. Don’t use mods that are not made for the new version of the game. Don’t eat out of date pills either. It’s logical thinking man!

You can draw the line wherever you like. Just don't act surprised or like you can't wrap your head around why people keep asking. There are a large amount of mods that mod authors haven't bothered to update to 1.3, but they work fine. So for the average player that goes around mod-shopping, they will see the 1.2 tag and ask whether it will work with the latest version of the game.

But where do we draw the line? Do I need to inform the players it won’t work on B19 either?

The list of versions this mod works with is listed right under the mod image on the right. It’s a feature supported by steam. I’m sorry, I’m tip toeing around saying it, but if someone can’t read it, they’re either blind or ignorant.

And if someone read it and still decided to add it to their mod, despite having newer version than the ones we support… well, that’s on them too

I suppose it would be a good idea to have a section in the description where frequently asked questions can be listed, to avoid wasted time on the part of the mod authors and users

Indicate how? It’s already NOT UPDATED TO THE LATEST VERSION and not a part of the VE collection. How can it be more obvious?

Hi, I am average Rimworld player and don't pay as much attention to the base game as you do

Can you please make it easier on the majority of the playerbase and indicate that this mod is redundant for the latest version of the game?

No. If you pay attention to the base game, these beards have been integrated to 1.3 and are now part of the base Rimworld experience

sad ):

It is not fine.

just wondering if this is fine to use in the latest version because its warning me about it being "for game versions 1.2 1.1 1.0" and i dont wanna ruin my save

Thank you Einhart

I guess I didn't have it unlocked because I couldn't see it even when searching for it

It's there...

Would it be possible to put the barber's table into Vanilla Hair Expanded? I have hair on my colonists I want to change but this mod is only for 1.2 and I don't really plan on getting Ideology just to change some hair

Hence it isn't updated to 1.3.
