Thanks ferny for asking permission, Oskar for giving it and changing the license - 1.5 update: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3360164489

If you made and posted some art for free, and someone really liked the style and wanted to perhaps recreate it, would you give up the files with the original layers, source material, inspiration etc. you used to create it?

People are under no obligation to provide you with source files, they can keep it closed if they want. Regardless, as I stated before, you can reverse engineer the mod with extreme ease and it'd be quite fine of an alternative to him open sourcing it. Yeah, you'll have to do a little bit of creative work and think on why Oskar made decisions in the code, but it otherwise will provide you a full binary of exactly what you need.

If your not gonna update it to 1.5, Why keep it closed source? You gain nothing by just holding it hostage like this. People wanna play with it, it seems really cool

That said, RimWorld mods are very easy to reverse engineer, and the code behind it (C#) barely obfuscates anything. Unless Oskar made a specific point to make it unreadable/extra obfuscated, you can reverse it yourself. I've done this with a different mod before.

It is not. Sorry.

I don't suppose the code for this storyteller is open source? I love randomisers in games and this was the closest I could find for rimworld, whilst idk anything about rimworld modding I'd like to give updating this to 1.5 a crack

Awh. I fully understand why it wouldn't be worth the time to continue maintaining a mod you made as a joke, but I will very much miss Oskar wreaking havoc on my colony.

How do I downgrade my Rimworld Version? I want to Osk my last ar.

well, guess randy random is the only vanilla story teller not getting their "up to eleven" upgrade... already have Paz Peaceful (Phoebe Chillax) and Major Madness (Cassandra Classic, aka: turn rimworld into Plants vs Zombies).
But well, Oskar, this book ends for you and I can respect that

Just bought Rimworld with the release of Anomaly, sad to hear you won't be updating this mod for 1.5. I understand if it wasn't a fun or worthwhile endeavor, you do you. While i would have loved to have played it, can you at least grey his name out like Roland and Winston are, so people like me don't get their hopes up?

No.

@MeaKyori Is this mod not going to be updated to 1.5?

I'm gonna miss this mod. Definitely one of my favourites, the randomness is so fun.

YO IS THAT OSCAR THE MOD MAKER???

Q: Some value changed to something very negative. It’s broken! How do I remove a patch?
A: I don’t care. That’s the card you’ve been dealt. Roll with it.

Thats hilarious, lol.

Today I had a very stressful Oskar experience:
NewPatch:
-Immunity Gain Speed 100% -> 54%

A bit later:
-Sleeping Sickness on 2 of my 4 colonists

Even with preach health, good medicine the disease overwhelmed the immunity gain speed

I already gave up on those colonists when the disease was about 20% over the immunity.

NewPatch:
-Immunity Gain Speed 54% -> 174%
THANK GOD, MY COLONISTS SURVIVED!!!!!

That is him. He's part of the vanilla preset pawns

Mr. Oskar, i dont know how but i got colonist with: your name (Oskar, Potocki), young life - modder and he's very inteligent colonist also has interest in crafting. AND most important, he looks like you

I think it changed how much fuel you get from the Ancient pipeline section in ancient vaults, from 75 fuel to 98 fuel.

In a recent patch then I had "Ancient Pipeline Section: max changed from 0.75 to 0.98"
I have no idea what min and max means for my gameplay or how it'll affect my colony's activities (obviously some old pipe probably wont change much but for other stuff then it might)

@bopman15 It would help if you gave an example, are you asking what happens if the min / max values of stat def related patch notes are changed?

Most of the stat names are pretty self explanatory, but what do "min" and "max" mean? How game changing is it when something's max goes from 0.75 to 2.23?

@Smash Phil

Thanks, I actually posted on Reddit about this because several mods had the same error message, and someone basically said "Don't strip your mods, anymore." So yeah, no more stripping mods with RimPy, ha.

@Darth Tater Yea that'd be from this mod. That file is part of the mod, you shouldn't be missing it. It's possible RimPy is removing that file, I vaguely remember it doing stuff like that for certain file types in the mod's directory it considered unnecessary. I've never used RimPy, you'll have to ask the dev of that mod.. though you do need that file.

I am replying to an old thread here I know, but I saw this same error thrown from several mods after I stripped my entire mod set with RimPy. I suspect that's what the original commenter had done. I don't know if this means that file should be put someplace else in the mod directory structure where it would not be stripped or if it is a harmless message.

Only mods installed are Vanilla Expanded.

It's already updated to 1.4, Oskar just needs to push the update. Just sit tight and wait a little.

Hi Oskar, is there any possibility of this eventually getting an update?
Sorry if you're being bombarded by requests, no worries if it's on a low priority. Just wondering is all.

he gave me 10% global learning rate for 2 years, made all ranged weapons deal around 5 damage or less per shot, and melee weapons deal 270% damage

social fights have been the biggest killer so far lol

does this storyteller disable trade ships from having anything?

Was having an error from this, somehow the patches.txt wasn't in the mod folder. Downloaded it from the github and the error went away, so I'm assuming occasionally the manifest gets messed up.

I bet that storyteller dosent like patching his mods for CE

Holy fuck, is this story teller broken... AND I LOVE IT.
Never did I have the opportunity for hunger to deplate x2 faster and rice to be grown within half a day, and for pain threshold to be set to 4%, so that even the slightest damage results in knockdown. Then dodge chance global stat changed to 40%.
It makes the Rimworld experience that much more unpredictable and I'm constantly on the edge of my seat, adapting as I go along
10/10

This is fantastic, thank you

This mod is missing Cheese @Oskar Potocki. I did not realise you were Sheogorath.

No, sorry

is there a way to have oskars patch notes with another story teller?

This storyteller is very fun in short run. Is is possible there will be a similar storyteller or function which whenever new patch notes are introduced, the old patch notes will be reset? Therefore despite horrible patch notes are introduced, you can try to survive until its end.

Is it possible to disable certain affects to be in the patch notes?

Nah, its okay he also gave me a much higher general work speed and research speed.
My researcher has a research speed of over 500%

Oh jesus I'm so sorry.

I think Oskar really dislikes me, he gave me:
Global Stat:
Harvest yield changed from 100% to 3%

Then a few patches later:
Global Stat:
HungerRateMultiplier changed from 1 to 3

RIP

Hi! Love the mod, but it seems like with combat extended installed there are too much defs about shots and weapons. Even with max (10) defs chosen in settings, i get interesting patches only once in 3 patches. Can max def amount be higher than 10? I cannot call this an actual problem, it isn't that interesting, when patches just do nothing, changing speed of some kind of arrows to make them slower. What can be done to make it interesting?

@HibiscousDragon: Can I get the hugslog? You might want to also test this in devmode by going to the debug actions menu and manually triggering a patch. After that, you should also check the error log and see what is outputted.

Just a reminder, I need the full log in order to see what the issue might be. Thanks!

Oscar hasnt been doing anything after the first patch. i was confused so i turned the ticks between patches down to 1000, then 100, then 10... no patches Whats going on? is there maybe a mod incompatability? I even tried swapping to andy then back to Oscar, no patches... the only other storyteller installed right now is Void... help is appriciated because i dont want to have to go through my ~80 mods...

No. You gotta deal with it or restart your game and lose all the patch notes.

Is there a way to manually undo any of its changes without disabling it entirely?

I have a question. Will they(Any Storyteller mod) affect the mod-add event?

Right click them?

my patch notes don't seem to go away after I look at them. they just stay on the side of my screen flashing blue. Any idea whats causing this or how I can fix it?

i've restarted multiple times with the mod disabled, it's probably not because this mod i think. Basically the recipe for any meal is "Requires 0 nutrition (raw food)" so it might just be a mod incompatibility
