Hello brother i like your mod recruitable prisoners for kenshi, but i can't recruit npc's like ''securitybot'' ''turretbot'' using Iron Will Faction mod because they dont use a vanilla dialogue, can you make a patch please

Hello, it's a grate mod, I found a really small "bug", when you recruit a || Error Code 0xFFFFFF || at the last dialog option, the third option dose not have an english translation file. Thanks!

is the cool-down timer based on prisoners being close to each other? or a world spanning thing after speaking to any prisoner

Question! Does it HAVE to be a prisoner cage made from the player, or can the PC talk to anyone in a cage? I turned in the Dust King to the Squin police, and I was planning on recruiting him, but I don't see any options to talk to him. I could've sworn I was able to recruit Tora The Fearless before, and I also turned her in to the Squin Police

@Nanogiraffe is it save to remove the mod in an ongoing save without the need to starting a new game?
Nanogiraffe  [author] Jul 3 @ 6:40pm 
@Seiver actually this mod doesn't need a new save or import as it only affects dialogue. An import is only needed when a mod adds 'something physical' to the world like an item or place or a new npc :beeped:
@Chuckles are you using mods that change NPCs? Do they talk to you? Did you disarm them?
Seiver Jul 3 @ 5:33pm 
Did you start a new file?

Cannot recruit anyone

TRASH USELESS MOD

@Nanogiraffe I was thinking it could be that as you said in your mod notes above but was wondering if it was due to hunger. Playing with a couple mods that limit my faction and dont allow me to recruit unique NPCs so this is a great mod to include for this run. Thanks for the reply and for the great mod!!!
Nanogiraffe  [author] Jun 29 @ 8:00pm 
@Roughtymes - it shouldn't affect that. Are you using mods? it may be that they are a modded version of one of the NPC
@Asraiel - this seems to be a common problem - the general fix is save/load or import
@MiraMi - Me alegro que lo disfrutes.:beeped:

Como todo buen Habitante del desolado Yermo, poder reclutar prisioneros es de mis actividades favoritas

Recruited prisoners don't seem to be eating automatically when assigned to jobs. I recruited two starving bandits and ironically both insisted on continuing to starve...
Do I need to feed all recruited prisoners manually?
Roughtymes Jun 29 @ 7:56am 
Does hunger affect the ability to recruit? I have a couple from Holy Nation Outlaw faction that have no option to talk to them. I know I recruited another Holy Nation Outlaw unit before but I think it was another unit type.
Nanogiraffe  [author] Jun 25 @ 11:38pm 
Yes, it should be possible but the chance is 2 30% ( may be higher - i think i increased it) in a row. if you use the right recruiter and choices, so a 9% chance ( i think...)

Is it actually possible to recruit HN paladins? I've tried 20+ times to recruit them but it never succeeds.
Gguy Jun 19 @ 5:52pm 
@Arak Rebirth's recruitment has always been random. I once only managed to recruit 2 people there when I first tried that start ages ago.
harps225 Jun 18 @ 2:02am 
how do i recruit holy nation paladins and other soldiers? they wont crack no matter what options i pick
Arak ♕ Jun 10 @ 12:15pm 
this problem may not be with this mod, but everytime i started at Rebirth i could recrute 10-all slaves there, but now im having a issue, the few i can talk too deny joining and im delayed to talk to anyone else... anyone having this problem?
leoneltrujillo2014 Jun 8 @ 2:36am 
I hope one day I can recruit Savant
harps225 Jun 7 @ 2:48am 
cannibal hunters cant be recruited i think

I made a skeleton only save, anti slavers to destroy UC, HN and any form of slavery, most skeletons I found (error 0xffffff, screamer, ponk, ashland skeletons etc, HN robots) worked well however, when I finally saw a P4 Unit at a bar I was overjoyed to get my hands on the very rare vanilla P4 generic recruit.
Then, I clicked on it and... no dialogue. It was a TRAP! It was just a flavour npc from the drifters faction.
So I abducted the offending P4 unit and brought it home. However, and this is what I don't understand, I stripped it bare, put it in a prison of mine and I get no option to talk to it. I have Ponk recruited so it's not a P4 only issue but I can't figure out what is wrong.
Any ideas?

Este mod incluye razas elegibles, dos canibales y algunos neblinos...

Something I just found out, which feels absurd and MIGHT be coincidence: I tried soooo often to recruit someone by clicking dialogue with the mouse... never worked... done it with keyboard promts now, worked 3 times in a row... either that is the most odd luck, or there is something to it. Maybe it helps someone else.

Very buggy most of the time. I take away equipment, put in the cage, and get 1 of 3 outcomes. A thousand yard stare with no talk option, pops up only once to never return after a week, or around 1% of the time it works every time. One game I can recruit 6 berserkers over the course of a month before it breaks. Another game can give 4 sand ninjas in a single day until breaking. Other times, like my current game, it will work once and then shit the bed.

Tested on a group of empire peasants after wasting an entire week and not getting a single bite. Made a line of 8 cages and topped hunger off to see how long it would take. First one was fine with no issues (prince), but the option didn't pop up for any of the others after 5 days of waiting and most dying from starvation. Reloading, picking up and setting into new cage, freeing then attacking just to put back in, exiting the game, resetting computer, importing save and having to grab new labrats to try the same thing again. Nothing.

I want to know something. I caught a Skeleton Bamid to join my team, but I've been trying to convince a skeleton for days and nothing's happening. Any suggestions? Or can't they really be recruited?

quiero saber algo, atrape a un bamdido esquerleto para unirlo a mi equipo, pero llevo dias con un esqueleto intentando comvenerlo y no pasa nada, sugerenias?
o realmente no se pueden reclutar?
MrVideoGamer May 26 @ 6:14am 
is this mod still active? or at the very least does it work well?
Captain Morgan May 25 @ 11:38am 
I found an interaction with another mod. I turned off the 256 squad limit because I didn't have large squads. This mod would go through the dialog and then not work. It usually didn't even say why except one single time it said my squad was already full. This mod started working again when I re-enabled the 256 mod. Hope that helps someone.

When talking to prisoners in cages, the dialog is random nonsense EXAMPLE: " , . ! , / ? , " all of it looks like that

lol i haven't played in forever started a game. Needles and Biggie got knocked out by dianium theives, I ran stuck em on a spike. Just started the game and now I have 2 60+ stats characters lol. not even fun have to restart
Inflanev May 20 @ 12:49am 
Are characters recruited by players considered 'dead/kidnapped' in the world?
For example, would recruiting Phoenix lead to changes in Blister Hill?
AJABOOBOO May 17 @ 3:15am 
@Dilda
yes you can and its: common english
then: 1 3 2 1 4 4 1 2 3 1 1 4
Dilda May 15 @ 8:26am 
Why when recruiting: "Error codes 0xFFFFFF", at the moment when the skeleton * shudders*, all the wrong combinations of words come out (I wrote the right words separately and the wrong ones.) always, that is, these bastards can not be recruited.
(I spent 2 hours on this shit)
And so the question is:
Is this a mistake?
Or is it a joke?
Shurlockbones May 10 @ 5:45pm 
I haven't back to Kenshi for a few years, but the mod was working then. It doesn't work in 2025. Dang shame! It was a good one.
suomuhauki May 9 @ 3:42pm 
anyone struggling to recruit drones, for me it worked when i stripped them of all their possession
Damion Wolf May 8 @ 1:04am 
Really cool mod. Coming back to Kenshi again after years and it's amazing to see this thing still up and running.
kukuruzzzzzka May 4 @ 8:30am

奧特曼 May 3 @ 12:16pm 
I tried to recruit the samurai elite from the attack event, but I couldn't even talk to them

Is valamon ever going to be recruitable?
HelloWaterSlip Apr 24 @ 2:01pm 
worker drones must be loyal like that lol
lewbear13 Apr 22 @ 8:04am 
cant seem to recruit worker drone keeps saying they work for the queen
MrFrengLitch Apr 15 @ 12:59pm 
This mod for whatever reasons makes it where you can use the training dummies from the shinobi thieve tower in the Hub in my modlist. I dont really understand why.
Barabus Apr 11 @ 6:02pm 
why can I recruit all the ashland dome characters besides HAT-12?
