RIP Diego Dire, the only VE storyteller to my knowledge whose alliteration has been revoked.

I think that the old story tellers have been integrated to the other faction mods, could find him in the list even tho the mod was disabled

@PhantomO1 nope, I can still research it. It is not just locked, this mod doesn’t work. Ofc he decides to not update it the one time I want to limit tech levels

pretty sure they are no longer updating any of their mods... so someone needs to fork it, / continue it

@oskar Potocki i appreciate the response and im sure your asked this qustion alot but will this mod at some point to 1.5?

can you still use it in 1.5?

Oh Diego my beloved

diego i miss you and your industrial technology restriction

will there be a 1.5 update?

Will there be a 1.5 update?

for those that are saying they can see the research tree, that works as it should, the mod doesn't hide research, it just locks you from researching them

started a new game with this (and many other mods of corse) and it still shows the entire tech tree as well as micro electronis already researched. im using a lot of VE mods as well as rimwar. thanks!

His name is Diego Dire.

It does not work. Tried with only this mod active and vanilla expanded framework. I could research microelectronics, geothermal power etc. Yes, I waited until the pawn started researching and yes it was progressing.

I'ma assume "Faction Control" Also means Faction blender x-x; sorry sorry.

Sir, can you read mod descriptions?

it seems this mod disables some factions from spawning;
Like for example the faction blend mod
or the Nyaron mod.
or anthro mod;
Why is that?

@TeleportBehindYou

I had trouble figuring this out as well, but as you read the description. The wording might be a bit confusing. But Spacer tech can still be researched (For some reason.) But not only that. Vanilla tech gets limited. But NOT any other mod technology.

So yes, you can research WW2 technologies.

When using this storyteller with the Rimworld War 2 mod does it limit my tech to the equipments introduced in that mod? I just want to play a WW2 campaign without any extra fluff

@Tyche33 I'm not sure if this is correct but the tech limitation seems to only take effect when you generate the world with this storyteller, so I guess you could start with someone like randy then switch to this one right after the game starts

Does anyone know if I can keep this story teller, but make it so I can turn off the industrial limitation? Thanks!

Both of them got changed.

So was the name change and artwork change to set This Diego apart form the one in Vanilla Factions Expanded?

It let's me select them but will take me a while to get to researching them as I am tribal. I will give it a go and see what happens once we've developed. Got some expertise to try out now too! :D

Did you actually research anything from beyond industrial tech or do you mean you can click them?

Because selecting them and researching them are two entirely different things

I can see on Medieval that some tech is locked in the bottom left of the research screen but on Diego Industrial it allows me to research anything as long as I have a prerequisites and it doesn't seem any of them are locked to prevent me.

Works fine for me.

Assuming this never got fixed based on the old comments? Just tried using it and it isn't locking tech. :( medieval ones didn't lock tech either

Quick question, does diego spawn mechanoids?
Just curious.

no alliteration for the storyteller name? i vote for "ingrid industrial".

I can also confirm the tech locking is not working.

Addendum: tried restarting RimWorld, powercycling my PC, changing mod order, starting from a working medieval modpack and building Diego back in - still not limiting the tech level.

+1 for Diego not locking research at industrial any more. Tried moving the mod to the start of the modpack and the end of the modpack, but still not working for me wither. Any suggestions anyone?

I am experiencing the same issue as @FlimFlam stated. Doesnt seem to be actually locking research past Industrial as Maynard does with Medieval. Any help would be appreciated. I love your mods btw!!

Can confirm that unlike Maynard, Diego isn't locking tech currently (for the player). This isn't a huge issue if unlike me you can resist the urge to research past industrial, though I am curious where the lock points are. Tested with only ideology DLC, harmony, expanded framework and Diego on. Then tested with expanded medieval swapped for Diego and Maynard locked properly.

Then just don't research it

love this thanks but I wish I could not research more than industrial era stuff^^

This is my favorite of the storytellers

Does someone know what can be causing a bug where I am able to research all techs like I normally would?

No, it only does what it says on the box. It will prevent factions from spawning, but if any of your other mods add laser guns to tribals, they will still spawn.

Will this prevent enemies from spawning in with spacer weapons (ie, charged shots, power armors)?

Ok, that is fine. I will just make sure to remove outlanders when I generate my next world. Thanks.

Interesting, Elite Mercenaries can either be from vanilla (often used by Pirates) or from a mod. I didn't know Outlanders can use Mercenaries tbh. In this case, sadly there is nothing in this storyteller that would remove them.

We have:

Crink Zavala, elite mercenary, mute, logger.

Guy Moreau, elite mercenary, medical assistant, geologist.

Margarita Frey, elite mercenary, shelter child, escaped convict.

Levin Lossfelt, elite mercenary, street child, slave chemist.

And several others, but all with the "elite mercenary" tag, so that seems to be the culprit.

What is the name of the pawnkind with power armor? When you click them it should show what is their name, their backstory and then for example Archer of Example Kingdom. I’m interested in that bit.

Many other mods, but nothing that I can see that makes changes to the gear or the factions beyond the vanilla expanded (using medieval, frontier, settlers and vikings on top of this storyteller). I even double checked that I was using the correct Diego, which I am. However, I am using Rimcities, which may mess with the factions, I am not certain. That said, it is not a city that is having the issue, as I attacked two cities, and they were at the correct tech levels, with the expected gear. All the raids have been fine as well.

Any other mods or just vanilla plus this storyteller?

@Oskar Potocki

They are named South Thiareera, which is a rough outlander union. It has pawns using Recon Armor and Helmets, as well as biocoded weaponry.

What faction base are you attacking now?

I am using this mod, as well as several others, to run a nomad style playthrough, where I essentially go town to town raiding, putting down roots until I am restocked, and move to the next. This was fine for the first three towns, but this last place had people wearing recon armor and helmets. This is odd, as it that is space level equipment. Any tips on what happened, and how to fix it?
