Hi there! I was wondering if some aspirations were perhaps trait locked, since I never see them generate, and since some traits prevent certain aspirations. Like, I've never seen the aspiration Burn or Use Luciferium generate, are they restricted to only showing up on teetootaler or chemical interest pawns for example?

What counts as a flame weapon? Ive tried a few but they dont seem to unlock the aspiration. Do they actually need to be used against an enemy pawn?

is there a dev mode command to force complete a particular aspiration for a pawn?

No

can i disable this mod mid-run?

Yeah, no plans to tweak that, though

Oh and also Ideology stuff if ideoligions are turned off but the DLC itself is active.

Pawns can wish to destroy an insect hive even if the insect faction was removed from the world.
I'm not planning on making a formal bug report for this.

Suggestion:
Make a mutation of arm to flesh whip from the Twisted obelisk anomaly count in aspirations "Get a tentacle"

Can this be removed mid-save?

Yeah, that's not a bug report, so I can't tell you anything

Hey i just encountered this bug ( https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/opfejn/pressing_next_after_choosing_an_ideology_doesnt/ ) and to fix it i had to remove aspirations expanded from the mod list, the game worked fine after. Is this a known bug or is there anything i can change to play with this mod. I am running a couple other vanilla expanded mods with prepare carefully and visit settlements.

That'd basically require a new mod to be made from scratch

Would be great if aspirations were based on some kind of conditions. I mean, I have a colonist who wants to create a legendary work… they have no passions related to crafting, artistic, or even construction, and about a 3 in each of those skills. Not only is it basically impossible, it doesn't really make any sense from a storytelling standpoint.

The aspiration only cares if Anomaly is installed

Bug: I have anomaly events disabled, but my pawn still got aspiration "play with golden cube" which is not possible with anomaly events disabled... (disabled via the anomaly settings in AI storyteller)

Well, without a proper bug report, what do you want me to say besides "it doesn't happen with only this mod"?

No, seriously, how do you think I can help?

Very helpful...
I did my due diligence by reading through to see what could be causing this problem, and made sure my situation doesn't fall under the stated known issues. You are the author here, considering how many people are commenting about issues with aspirations resetting on death, perhaps there's something else going on here? I have nothing that should conflict here.

Yes, another mod...

I don't have the corpse info mod, or anything that (I think) would mess with corpses, yet I had a character's aspirations reset upon resurrection with a mech serum. Any idea the issue here?

So far, the book-related aspirations seem to be very random which I assumed to be just a balance thing. It's not difficult to get a bunch of books after all.

@CeasartheUndead - same thing here. Tried an Excellent book on a double passion skill, no dice.

vore fetish aspiration is insane

man the aspiration to get digested is wild! vore kink pawns

I'm have a hard time with pawn with the book/tome aspirations.
Does it need to be excellent quality or some thing?

Enabling the "aspiration need" for children has them get it the moment they are age3
but the selection of Aspirations in the last growth moment overrides the existing ones.

Would it be possible to change the unlock of the "aspiration need" to happen
after the third growth moment regardless of other factors?

@A shitton of shitties, it's way, waaaay easier to just edit aspirations via dev mode - no randomness there :p

Random pro tip: Character Editor doesn't save the aspirations in saved characters, so if you've built a character you like and then realize they don't have good aspirations to match the character, you can re-import the character and they'll have random aspirations. Might have to do it a few times.

Oh, thanks for telling. I should check the settings and see if I can turn this specific clearing check off.

Aspirations don’t disappear on death unless you have some other performance saving mod that wipes that information from corpses

@QiaOnline, I actually had the exact same issue.

feels bad not being able to get aspirations on any of my awakened androids. As if it wasn't already hell to feed them power and get them neutroamine

I have a colonist with an aspiration to experience resurrection, I euthanize them and resurrect them, they get that aspiration fulfilled but other aspirations are changed including already finished ones.

I'm having an issue where a pawn only has 2 skills to give passions to (looking in the Bio it has several level 1 and 2 passions) and I can't continue and clear the notification from screen.

Every time I load a save I get the message that a random pawn I don't have as colonist (I'm on a solo run) has achieved his aspiration. Is there a way to remove this message?

@KindaLikeThat there is a mod options page for controlling which aspirations can appear. if you are trying to edit them on a particular pawn, you need to use Dev mode to add or remove them manually.

how to edit aspirations

The warcasket aspiration doesn't work with Alpha Mechs' Mech Master Warcasket becuase of it giving a different warcasket trait and not the regular one

Tried to play CryptosleepCasket_Accept on camera but it has no on-camera subSounds.
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
(wrapper dynamic-method) MonoMod.Utils.DynamicMethodDefinition:Verse.Log.Error_Patch5 (string)
Verse.Sound.SoundStarter:PlayOneShotOnCamera (Verse.SoundDef,Verse.Map)
Verse.LetterStack:ReceiveLetter (Verse.Letter,string,int,bool)
VAspirE.Need_Fulfillment:Complete (VAspirE.AspirationDef)
VAspirE.Need_Fulfillment:CheckCompletion ()
VAspirE.SatisfactionPatches:CheckGeneral (Verse.Pawn)
(wrapper dynamic-method) Am I the only one who made this mistake?

Will there ever be a android specific aspirations mod expansion?

Hello! Sent a bug report as well, but you're missing some mayrequires log attached. https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/25f3b8d150aea9e1cf048055b2d8aca1

Hi there,
i really like your aspirations-system! It adds nice goals for a playthrough and is also pretty difficult (as i havent managed to get a reach a growth moment yet).

i have some aspiration ideas, if you don't mind:

Tame a thrumo (or similar big animal, so modded would work too)
Kill a thrumbo (or similar big animal, so modded would work too)
Survive an Illness or Infection.
Destroy another Settlement
Trade with another settlement
Be happy (max the happiness bar)
Get younger (for Anomaly or Biotech DLC)
Recieve a bionic Limb (arm or leg)
Recieve an archotech limb (arm or leg)

I take my hat off to you and thank you for your dedication!

Yeah, we can't assure compatibility with mods that modify the triggers

Wasn't sure to throw this as a bug report or not but my pawns aren't completing the aspiration for bonding to a guaranlen tree. I believe this could be due to something changed by Guaranlen Trees Reworked . I can do further testing for a report if needed but I wanted to ask if the mod and compatibility was on the radar/already confirmed working.

Not sure what happened. Reloading the game on the same day didn't work, restarting Rimworld on the same day didn't work, but for some reason, reloading it after waiting a real life day (and over a year in-game) may have? After quite a while, the growth moment UI no longer asked for 3 aspirations while simultaneously hiding the option to choose them. The request for aspirations didn't present anymore.

Is it intentional that, after achieving enough lifetime aspirations to trigger another growth moment, skills and traits can't actually be accepted because a UI option to select 3 more aspirations isn't present, and these must be selected before pressing "OK"?

Yes, intended

@Sarg Bjornson Is it intentional that some of my colonists have only four Aspirations and others have the full five? I can come back with mod research results if I know it's a bug.

Yep

yeah but i did the aspirations but they didn't get the thought about destroying the insect hive because "insectoid supremacy" ideology, so i didn't complete it even though they killed the colony :(
