Hi this looks a great mod :) does it let you stop a faction from carrying weapons? I'm building a zombie xenotype and I use the mod Xenotype Spawn Control to make a faction spawn as all zombies, but they either end up having bows or guns depending on which faction I use, would be great if they just used their fists!

This mod is outdated.

@malsala23 it wont ruin it but u wont be able to edit it anymore once u have the mods in it since it will be linked to said mods

Anybody know if adding more item mods will ruin my preset?

I know I'm late but I'd also like to put in my request for the 1.3 files back. I'd like to be able to complete an old run of mine, but both Total Control and Homebound seem to have lost support for previous versions with their updates. Sadly, i didn't make a backup of these two mods apparently and they were automatically overwritten.

Alternatively, if anyone has an extra copy of these two mods for 1.3 it'd be greatly appreciated!

NVM after much hardship and reloads I got it working to majority of a succes

Cant get the factions to actualy use the presests, tried making Rough Outlander unions into the NCR even shrank their forced apperal to just be one set of armor and guns and they still dont spawn with it when I attack their settlements

Heck yeah, I'll try that and see if it works. It'll suck that I have to redo my whole preset but so long as it consistently works I'll be happy.

There is a fork up for this, it might update to 1.5 sooner than this since it was handed off.

And yeah, I've been having a good time fighting the empire and spacer tech factions with my personal edits to them, thanks to this mod, but it seems that most of my preset doesn't work whenever I start a new playthrough, which is extremely unfortunate considering the hours I've poured into totally revamping EVERY combat oriented pawn in several different ai factions. It worked fine in my first playthrough, but in my second playthrough most of my faction presets stopped working. The only potential fault for this I can think of is the fact that I removed vanilla psycasts expanded and added a rimworld of magic and jecstools to my modlist before starting the new playthrough. Could that be the cause? Or are player made presets incompatible with new games? Really hope it's the former and can be fixed just by re-adding vanilla psycasts expanded, I REALLY don't want to rebuild my preset all over again. Any advice on fixing this without losing my preset would be appreciated.

@rebel that's not true for me. I uninstalled that mod and I still get the black box when trying to edit modded factions.

Plz fix the color wheel when you update this to 1.5, thanks.

Hello, i was wondering if you are setting up changes to the colour pallets to allow darker colour options or paint mods that can be compatible with this mod? Thanks.

Hey, mentioned this mod in the Best Mods • Meta collection. Hope it's ok!

Why does apparel color setting uses base game lamp color wheel? It's so limited as you literally can't make darker colors.

is ti possible to prevent certain items from being used??

Had an issue where I couldn't edit Ancients, thought it was my huge ass modlist but they still seem to not work even after reducing it to just the gear I wanted to give to them, still no, man, this mod really needs some fixing.

The colour selector wheel doesn't allow to select the black colour, really.

Everyone becomes naked even though the force naked box is unchecked.

Found the mod that causes the black box issue.
It's Common Sense Mod.

My brain has conjured an idea:

What if there were health effects or implants that added vanilla traits, and then just disappeared? If on something that can't have traits like an animal or mechanoid, they just disappear without doing anything.
And then this mod could be used to add those health effects, thus creating a roundabout way to force certain traits for factions or pawntypes?

How smart dumb big small brain possibly unpossible would this idea happen to be?

So I'm having the same problem as other users being unable to edit non-biotech tribal factions. Has anyone else found a solution to this?

One more small (Hopefully!) request/suggestion: Would it be difficult to add an option to populate the faction pop window with the CURRENT, unedited popbreakdown so we can see what it currently is? That way we can easily see what the current balance is and more easily edit, rather than totally recreate it form scratch.

This mod is soooo needed! Is it at all possible to edit names of factions, or better yet, create our own factions that we could then edit?

Sorry if this is asking a lot but wacky (amazing) idea:

Forced traits for human pawns of factions. Only problem is that means having to differentiate people from animals.

Yep, I've also been testing what causes that broken pawnkinds bug today, and can confirm that disabling Xenotype Spawn Control seems to fix it. It's a shame, cause that mod allows for more detailed configuration, but it is what it is.

For people who want to use custom xenotypes but are getting the X bug (or black box bug? It’s only been a red X in a square for me) I’m thinking that using the Custom Xenotype Exporter Tool mod may help.
Using Xenotype Spawn Control seems to cause the rendering error and I’m guessing it’s because Total Control only pulls from “default” (as in always available/not registered as custom, vanilla or modded, like hussars or saurids) xenotypes.

Assuming Total Control doesn’t cover them, factionless or otherwise specific pawns like wild men or beggars could still be edited through Xenotype Spawn Control.

Again though, this is only a guess from someone who doesn’t know anything related to code, and I can’t test it myself for a while. Hopefully this does work though!

true

v The individual below is both wrong and likes to eat socks.

I don't think this mod is gonna get any bug fixes or any updates at all

I absolutely love this. I haven't run into this black box bug people are talking about, but I've gotten it going through menus from some other mods when not using this one.
Out of curiosity, is there an option to make it so that any change only applies to humans or humanoids within a faction, without having to go through every pawntype? I looked around and couldn't find any, but I've stared straight at obvious solutions without them actually registering before.
I want to add death acidifiers to the Rimsenal Federation faction but idk which pawntypes are human and which aren't, and using devmode or character editor to go through every single one to find out would be agonisingly tedious.

I have found an ad-hoc solution for the shadow box error with some factions. it appears that the mod requires a Xenotype Set in the factiondef to properly display factions in the editing UI. If there is none, it will give you an error. The fix I found, is just to copy a xenotypeSet from a working mod (look at Vanilla Extended) into a faction you like to be present.

I am not a coder, I was literally just throwing mud at the wall and see what sticked. Maybe it helps to solve the shadow box issue in an future update

It appears like the issue with the shadow boxes is related to Biotech. If it is disabled, all factions, including modded ones, can be edited without issue.

If possible, it would be amazing if the mod could be brought back to an pre-biotech state

Can we edit the genes of pawns? Also now that vehicles are out can we add vehicles for factions to use?

The mod seemed really useful, too bad there's no dark, gray, and black colors available in customization options.

Please, this mod needs an update and bugfix. We beg of you

Great mod, thanks to author!

Color choosing as of now is weird, it would be cool to have the old one back, if possible

For some odd reason 1 out of the 10 factions i have just straight up errors when i try to edit them with this. EIther that or a black box appears and spams my error logs.

I second the need for change of the color editor.

Running a large mod play through, and I'm encountering the black shadow box bug. Does anyone know some of the incompatible mods?

Can we get specific custom xenotypes in the spawn xenotype option? Also it would be cool if there's an ability to customize world factions already spawned in the map including duplicates.

nvm, I find it out I clicked all active and turned them all into disabled lol

same, also edited few faction but none of them change and appear with what I edit

A blacklist option would be nice. So that instead of having to pick every single piece of equipment that they can wear one by one, you rather select a few that they arent allowed to have.

Needs color choosing fixed on apparel, impossible to give pawns dark/grey apparel from the limited RGB color selector. I need this fixed urgently if you've got the chance.

WARNING: Just when i press edit, game crashes instantly, this mod isn't working for me at all

I would like to choose dark colors on the apparel settings. Currently only bright colors can be chosen.

@Marz Xenotype Spawn Control would serve you well alongside this mod.

I'm also having an issue where settings for one faction apply to another. Civil outlander union and rough outlander union seem to merge pools when spawning in. The previews work fine, but when the pawns actually spawn in the pools become merged. I was using the global overrides for both, so i think the game might believe the loadouts apply to all pawns instead of all faction pawns.
