just stumbled across this mod, and absolutely is my favorite mod of my entire collection. will be showcasing this mod, a lot.
as a nonbinary person, thank you for taking on the role of maintaining it.

@Nezeltha No, you'll need to use Pawn Editor.

Is there some way to use dev mode to force a pawn to be non-binary?

Awesome work, saw that Erin's FFXIV Races got a patch. It's a shame that they got so upset about something that was clearly breaking the game, but either way nice work!

🌸The Kitsune🌸Xenotypes are not races, so that will not be an "easy xml patch". The issue is actually with VEF and how it's implementing gendered genes. Fixing that will require a deeper dive than I'm prepared to do right now, since it will affect more than just head/body types. If you add Body_Standard to the xenotype it will stop trying to give them the thin body type. They'll all have the male body type instead, which I don't like, but it will stop the errors.

Can we get a patch for Erin's FFXIV Races?
I believe you'll only have to patch two of the races, being the two Au-Ra xenotypes since they utilize gendered body/head textures.

@QOMRADEQUEER Check the discussion called "non-binary pawns are faceless" for instructions on how to fix that. If you need help, feel free to come by the discord server or message me directly!

Using this with Intimacy - Gender Works without issue at the moment.

However, I seem to be having a problem with NL Facial Animation, specifically when using EyeGenesis2. Coloured eye genes don't seem to be properly working for nonbinary folks, meaning their eyes are always the default black despite the gene colour.

@Leef They/Them Yeah, I think I see what's happening. The way I'm keeping track is per game file, so it wouldn't get saved with the ideo. I have an idea about a way around that though, I'll see if I can make it work.

Thanks for this mod! One issue I've encountered is that making a custom ideo (fixed) and saving it won't save the non-binary title for the leader role properly when you save it for later. When loading it and trying to use it it'll create a whole lot of visual jank with quests and factions and such during gameplay due to failing to load a field with a null value. It's easily fixed with devmode during gameplay even by regenerating the leader role and adding the name back in, but it gets a little tedious to do that with mods that let you use your saved ideos for the world's factions.

Богу стыдно.

Thank you for making this :) I'm not nb myself, but I have a lot of friends that are - enough that it feels really weird for enbies to not be present. Also the mod Simple Trans' description says that it kind of makes Non-binary Gender compatible with Way Better Romance. I've been using all three together and they seem to work okay so far.

Sorry about that! Thank you for your time to clarify that!

@ONTIME Way Better Romance and Non-Binary Gender are explicitly marked as incompatible until the rework is complete.

Thanks for making this!

I tried to think of something silly to say but I'm just really happy you made this mod :) thank you!

very poggers mod thanks for 1.6 updates

These pawns don't have any biney? That's so cool...

Got it! Thank you for the answer :)

@Paprikahörnchen It will be fixed soon but it's not a real error.

Hello I got this error:
Error in Non-Binary Gender, assembly name: 0DivineFramework, method: UIFloatRange:Draw, exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: void Verse.Widgets.FloatRange(UnityEngine.Rect,int,Verse.FloatRange&,single,single,string,Verse.ToStringStyle,single,Verse.GameFont,System.Nullable`1<UnityEngine.Color>)

@surefirecure
It should work well with Pawn Editor 1.6!

Anyone here in the comments know if this works with Pawn Editor 1.6? It does not work with Character Editor 1.6 which is not surprising.

bruh
just why

i agree with nevermore

I agree with amber

based mod + fuck that frank glass guy

ew wtf

Thanks for the quick update

Thank you very much!

@Baad Fixed, thanks!

(getting raided by non-binary raiders) I'm fighting Tooth and Nail over here

This is the mod I'm using: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2016453798

@short_circuiting Please read the bug reporting section and get me a log.

Thanks for all your hard work! I love this mod. I've discovered a couple bugs with the mod. When I go to generate a new world, only 1 Faction Spot is on the map. Quests also seemed to be generating with error messages instead of descriptions.

@Baad I'd have to look at the mod in question to know what they're doing, so could you please link it?

Hi, thank you so much for maintaining this mod. I noticed I have one small problem - when a nonbinary colonist from a tribal faction spawns, they'll end up being called 'Errorname [Nickname] Errorname'. This seems to happen because I have a mod which replaces the vanilla tribal names with different ones. Would there be any way to make this work with mods that replace vanilla name banks?

@divineDerivative ok, that makes a lot of sense - thanks for the explanation! I'll just delete any unwanted relationships from the one gay pawn and wait for the overhaul. :)

@Drej I have not done anything regarding orientation other than to limit non-binary people to bisexual or asexual. Code wise, gay means the genders have to be the same, and straight means they have to be different. (Which is hilarious to me because it makes straight more inclusive.) So you would see this same behavior from a female pawn.

The upcoming overhaul of Way Better Romance, which is being done specifically for compatibility with Non-Binary Gender, will have per gender attraction so orientations can be much more varied, and actually make sense in the context of non-binary people.

Hi - I apologize if this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a workaround for an issue I'm running into where it seems like the non-binary gender is treating pawns as strictly female.

Basically, I have Pawn 1, who is nonbinary, and Pawn 2, who is male with the Gay trait.

Pawn 1 and 2 cannot romance each other due to "incompatible orientation", unless I remove the "gay" trait from Pawn 2 (which will unfortunately lead to him flirting with women). I am not sure if this is a bug, or just a limitation in the way the game views genders, but figured I would ask if there's a way around it.

Thank you in advance!

@mellomagic Non-Binary Gender is currently incompatible with Way Better Romance. I'm working on an overhaul of WBR that will make them compatible.

Thank you for putting this together! I was really excited to start a game with it, but unfortunately, I think it's contributing to a planet generation bug somehow? I have planets generating with no more than a handful of factions, regardless of setting. I spent a while turning mods off and on and this was the only mod that fixed the issue. I still get this issue when it's the only mod in my list.

I doubt it's this mod directly causing the issue, but I have a couple different suites like MO mods, CE, VE, My Little Planet, Way Better Romance, and Simple Trans, along with some other smaller bits. I will make a formal bug report with my load list and logs when I have time but I thought I would leave a comment in case someone is having a very similar and specific issue.

Thanks again

@The Dreamless One Prepare Carefully is badly coded and permanently modifies pawn generation, which destroys many late game saves. It has been on the 'do not use' list in the modding community for years. I will not be adding support for Prepare Carefully.

Deleting and Re-posting my comment since I can't edit.
I hope you add support back for Prepare Carefully. Though you said removing support for it was an improvement it to remove it, which I don't fully understand how that's an improvement, EdB Prepare Carefully seems to work more consistently without issue then Pawn Editor. Also it seems that the one behind Pawn Editor won't be updating it anymore.

I was actually looking for one that was a gene one too so i could make Null Xenotype

well there is like no mod that dose that i could find i'm looking for so i geuss il have to shit my self for my stupid sci-fi ideas

@Stachman This mod is intended to represent a non-binary gender identity, not a biological sex. So it makes no sense to have a gene for it.

dose it have a gene? i need to create my identical, gray skinned and bald, androgynous sexless workers who feel nothing, want nothing, and only to serve the continual existence of a society that is more of a ant hive then a human society, with no art, no identity, no individuality, and no love.

Oh and they make themselves more of themselves through artificial methods.

@dUdebroborn1165 No, not even with IVF, it's mentioned in the notes section. Universal Pregnancies and Simple Trans should work though.

Hey quick question, can-binary be parents biologically (No IFV)?
