Should be!

Should my save be alright replacing the outdated version with this one?

No

Can anyone using this mod please tell me if it is possible to only get the expertise without getting the passions? I don't want the debuffs they add to other skills

so got a guy maxed out on all the skills but seems they won't learn anymore now

@[C|⦿] Typical Lama [✚] check out Alpha Skills. Its like VSE Expanded. Includes a fair few new expertises, including "crafting yield" and "crafting quality"

Really enjoying the expertises. I have a self-imposed rule I'm using where I do allow multiple expertise under one skill, but only once the previously selected expertise reaches level 15. At which point I need to go in to the options, enable expertise overlap, add the new expertise, and then disable expertise overlap again (otherwise the "can gain expertise" message remains up). Would it be possible to either enable an option with such logic (that is, for each skill, if each linked expertise is at the threshold, enable expertise selection for the skill again), or allow an optional keybinding to quickly enable/disable the setting?

If i transfer from the outdated version to the new version mid-game, will my pawns' passions and expertise from the previous mod transfer?

This makes Rimworld basically Burning Wheel

Hey Oskar, just wanted to let you know you still have the outdated version of this mod listed on your Vanilla Expanded master collection.

I added more than 2 expertise skill on my pawn, so the Bio window of the pawn extended out of the screen frame. Is there any way to solve this problem.

The crafting experties feel really underpowered. And the tailoring one is just baffling. We can craft weapons faster but not armor? Each pawn needs serveral pieces of armor vs just one weapon + weapons have a debuff for selling them, so it's not even like you can make them a good way to make money?

Is there a way to change the weaponsmith to a generic blacksmith?

Hi, just to say i like this mod. But i find something lacking, the value for cooking speed seems kinda weak compared to every other modifier, only +1 at level 20 is really small i think.

Could i ask for a small config addition?

i'd wanted to ask for the possibility to select the offset of every expertise, rather than a universal multiplier. Would that be possible?

I was considering jus changing the base value itself, but i wanted to see if it could be added as a config option, since i'd assume i'm probably not the first one to want to config every expertise.

Dev mode probably

Is there a way that you can max an expertise level for testing purposes?

It also says that for me as well. very weird.

on a fresh install this mod shows up twice in rimpy unless i right-click and reinstall the mod, and then it comes back again after the game is closed? is there a file that's still flagged under the old workshop mod id or something lol

The piercing expertise is pretty confusing. The actual description says "when using sharp melee weapons". The explanation as listed above doesn't specify "sharp", just that it improves armor piercing. And when you hover over it in-game, it says the actual effect is increased crit chance. Would you mind explaining a little?

Use mod options

It should not be possible to have two Critical passions, or at least the two negatives shouldn't stack. The pawn gets 2.2% learning speed in everything except their two Critical passions, which they have 75% learning speed in. Makes zero sense and breaks the pawn.

How do passions work? Do I get to choose them, or are they assigned based on what expertise I choose?

Can I just use expertise without passions, as I like the idea of my pawn specialising in a particular skill, but I don't like the idea of debuffs given by passions (reduced learning speed & increased forget speed)?

I usually play with Perfect Memory traits & by late end game I have all my pawns at max skill in everything, and passions throw a monkey wrench in this plan I think.

PS: Thanks for all your mods! They've kept me playing RimWorld for ages!

Oh now I feel silly. Hovering over the "select expertise" button gives the detailed breakdown! My bad.

What does he "sniping" expertise do exactly? There are a couple expertise' that don't appear on the explanations list on this page and the explanations in game aren't very helpful. In fact I would highly recommend changing them to be more descriptive of their actual in-game effects as I've had to check this page for a lot all of them to be sure about what they actually do. Also, the mod options feel a little vague. Does editing passion commonalities affect how frequently the appear on new pawns? Does setting them all at zero turn off the new passions being added to pawns altogether?

Other than things being a bit too vague I really like this mod, good job!

Minor complaint, with mining yield capped at 125% in vanilla expertise like Prospecting is more or less useless past rank 5. A built in option for increase the cap so that expertise up to rank 20 means something would be awesome.

i wasnt sure if it was better to post this here or on vanilla traits expanded so i posted it there to, but i got an idea for an expertise

Firefighter/Flame Adept

- Pawn will no longer panic upon being set on fire, instead will immediately focus on putting themselves out
- +10% fire extinguishing rate (idk numbers so if you wanna make it more or less, feel free)
- deconstruction/tree cutting/axe proficiency? if you wanna go the full firefighter route.
- slight resistance to heat and/or smoke inhalation? again, up to you. im picturing this as if it was being trained on how to be a firefighter so youd know how best to handle those situations

Hello, thanks, that's so cool! As my screen is tiny, after 3 specs, the pane get out of my screen. Making bio panel scrollable would be perfect :)

nvm, I think it's a steam problem, after restarting steam, mod appeared just fine

only fix I found: when Rimpy shows missing mods, edit the steam id to new one (3400246558) and then use SteamCMD to download it. but the mod will be installed as a local mod, not workshop one. weird

mod does not appear in mod list after subscribing for some reason? rimpy also outputs an error, telling to download missing mod, but it only links to outdated version

Thanks Drankara. Noticed that, but I'm not sure either.

Mod settings are in the options, and if they are not there you can modify the distribution via the defs, easiest way is though the mod manager under advanced-open folder, from there its whichever version your on, i.e 1.5 then defs then passions, I think changing the commonality to 0 should stop them from being applied but not sure.

I really like the expertise part of the mod, but not the changes on passions. Is there a way to use the mod and have the default passions AND their native distribution? (I mean how they are in the base game).
Thanks.

So if anyone has problems getting skill experience, its likely because the critical passion reduces the amount earned by other skills by 75 percent, I think this stacks for each critical till you get next to none.

Nothing? Dude, you're being agitated for nothing, I was simply just stating an issue and then I figured out a fix for it which is to disable some mods, who knows maybe someone else has the issue and is looking for a fix. I've just left a note, not a forum. Relax my guy.

"I couldn't be bothered figuring out what mod is the issue"

I'm trying hard to not be an asshole here, but what exactly do you want me to do about it? It's obviously on your side. You have something outdated or something conflicting

I turned everything off but vanilla expanded and the mod shows up but I load my mod list and the option isn't there when I search it, literally the entire option for "Vanilla Skills Expanded" does not exist, and I couldn't be bothered figuring out what mod is the issue.

Literally the first mod option, "Maximum expertise per colonist"

Nevermind, it's a mod conflict. Not sure which one.

And by change, I mean change the amount of expertise you can have.

The setting isn't coming up in mod options to change the expertise.

You have a mod conflict

One more question, is there some sort of specific method to leveling up these professions? For some reason I'm not getting any xp for them and I'm not sure why. I would of sent a bug report but A: idk if I'm just missing something and B: for whatever reason, hugslib tells me I'm not authorized whenever I try to get the log for it

Oh cool! Sorry, I'm still new to this game and learning all the mechanics and buttons and stuff

Ui was to big so i can not control. i use custom UI to reduce side of Ui that will helpful

Do the Architecture and Art Quality expertises allow you to make legendary structures and art, or would you still need an inspiration or specialist?

i would love to have a child caring expertise. any plans adding this?

Already in mod options

is it possible to add a way to get multiple expertise?
