Hi @Orion. Good day and thank you for the mod. So to confirm, is Hospitality incompatible with Mechs and Animals for NPC Factions since it adds Animals to them? Thanks!

Yeah, and you shouldn't. If they would bring a pet, your game would break horribly. That's why all mods that give guests pets or slaves are considered incompatible.

I haven't ever had any group with animals.

Do visitors ever bring a pet? I added an animal bed to their rooms to make it pet-friendly but I've never seen them use it

That's per group, though. But you can send groups away if you're full.

@Hammy The default max guests is 5 but it can be configured in the mods settings

I have a small complaint: The guests never come proportional to the beds. In order to get money from this and not have no one show up later, I need to give them my colonists' beds. Can you try to edit it so that guests will either go away if theres no more beds, or have the group sized by limited by the amount of available beds on entrance.

Sorry. I'm not making changes to the mod anymore. I suppose you could just not use it?
If it helps your head canon, to do it you have to build a lot of raport with them, a fair amount of friends, and the faction hates you after doing it. 🤷‍♂️

Love this mod! One thing though -- would be it be possible for to get an option to disable the "force recruit" mechanic? I always feels weird being able to make someone turn their weapons on their former comrades because we demanded them to. At the very least could there be an option to make "force recruit" an enslavement mechanic instead?

Have the same problem as Claunine (area settings revert back to home from restricted) I reported ages ago. I have the map settings set to unrestricted.

That's really hard to track. You do get standing back when they leave the map.

I just had a guest visit and drink herself into a coma, but I lost standing because of it even though I rescued her. Can we prevent the downed = lost if the pawn recovers consciousness before a certain time?

Damn, oh well. Thanks for the reply!

Then I'm afraid it's a code-only thing and will be more difficult to remove 😔

I searched through all the defs, but couldn't find anything about alerts. Best I found was one for letters for guests joining, but that was about it 😭

There should be an alert def entry for it that you can remove.
I don't know what it's called from the top of my head, though.

Hi there, I was wondering if it was possible to remove the "guests have nothing to eat" alerts, either through toggles or if I could edit the defs somehow?

If you select a single guest you can make their area settings the default. Maybe that helps. Otherwise maybe make a guest zone yourself and assign that. Could be something affects the area settings and unrestricted won't work.

When using this mod, I encountered an issue where the allowed activity area settings for visitors automatically revert from "Unrestricted" back to "Residential Zone" whenever I save the game. This leads to another problem: if I use this setting, whenever there are separate residential zones around my base, visitors entering these zones get stuck in an endless waiting loop. The error log indicates they're trying but failing to pathfind to bed locations. Do you know any solutions for this? Currently, my only workaround is manually resetting visitors' activity areas to "Unrestricted" whenever they arrive, which allows them to properly pathfind to beds.

@Robin Banks
@Orion can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the confusion here is that that setting isn't "If I currently do not have any free beds, disallow more guests." but instead: "If the guest bed item does not exist on the map do not allow any guests."

Since the guest bed item exists on the map the setting will untrigger since the condition is met. So far as I know there is no way to prevent guests beyond the number of guest beds available.

You said you have five beds. That means the setting will turn off when the next group arrives.

Yes Sir, I know. But the thing is, that I have to set it over and over again because I get new guests although I don't have any more beds.

Okay, let me explain. It will send away guest groups until you have beds. You can also do this manually when they arrive. Just select someone in the group and click "send away".

Whatever. Doesn't help at all though.

Yeah, it's in "something like that". It says "Don't allow new guests until you have guest beds."

hm... I actually love this mod, but I feel like somethings wrong here; actually you can select "don't allow new guests until you have free beds" or something like that. But it keeps deacitvating by itself all the time apparently. For instance, I have 5 beds for guests. So if I have 5 guests now, it shouldn't allow new guests but it does. I surprisingly have like 10 and the notification "not enough beds for guests". Sorry, might sound weird. I'm bad in describing things in English but I still hope you get my point though.

Ah. I don't think there are any differences to normal colonist at this point.

I had an event where a guest wanted to stay/join the colony, the text within the pop-up window said that the guest spoke with their faction and the faction approved of them joining my colony as an ambassador.

I had a porblem of my guests not going to the area I wanted, even if i created one, marking it, creating beds and everything, selecting each guest to the area... But one tiny detail, that is very hard to "get it" - well the solution was to: klick the guest tab ---> Klick the 3 dots beside any fo the guests, then mark your guest area to Only let the guest roam around there.

I take it you're talking about the job of entertaining guests? It's just that. Giving guests positive memories (temporary) for a higher rating and increasing the relationships between colonists and guests for recruitment.

Could you provide any information explaining the mechanics of an Ambassador? I cannot find anything through search engines, and Steam does not offer a search function for these posts and comments.

Is an ambassador temporary?

Is there a relationship penalty if the ambassador dies when the colony is attacked?

Does the ambassador serve any functions outside of normal colonist duties?

What differentiates an ambassador from a standard guest-recruitment (aside from no relationship penalty)?

the image links on the page broken? when I clicked on the vending machine one it took me to a TF2 hat mod page?

Hospitality triggers it - so for all I know, if something goes wrong it might trigger it multiple times. This has happened before in cases where a group couldn't leave the map for some reason. It's hard to say where things go wrong.

I didn't know the gift-giving mechanism was Vanilla's. I thought you could impose restrictions to solve the problem.
Yes, the problem must lie in other mods. But there was no error message prompt, which made me have no choice but to seek help here.
Recently, I have seen many discussions about similar issues in the game community. There are some speculations that it was caused by Vanilla Trading Expanded. It seems that I have to make a choice.

Hey, i've been having an issue where at one point guests just stop coming and usually aren't interested. Is there anyone else with this issue?

It uses the vanilla gifting mechanism. So probably some other mod messes with it.

Sometimes, visitors leave tons of Glitterworld Medicine and high-end parts when they leave. It even led to the wealth of my colony instantly reaching 'NaN'.
The game can still proceed normally without error prompts. However, from then on, the 'History' button within the game will turn into a bomb. Clicking it will cause the computer's memory to overflow. This outcome cannot be changed by rolling back.
However, if the visitor gifts are turned off, the fun of this mod will be reduced by a lot. Could an upper limit on the value of the gift be added to solve this problem?

is there an option to let guest stay safe during raid
instead opening doors for raiders or run into hot zone to meet their death
when they decide to leave

That's a cool idea, but I'm not adding new features anymore.

So I love this mod, it give you a way to make money with out actively trading but I was wondering if maybe you could add a feature or maybe even another type of service where you can rent out pods to visitors, having them pay a X amount to use your pods to get to places, I'd love this as I use Helix gas pods and other then power and cooking I use them as pod fuel to launch gifts to hostiles near by to keep standings up but I'd love to be able to make some silver off letting visitors use the pods for transportation.

Hospitality has always had issues with the various android mods because they change pawns so much, usually.
I've not seen this one before, but I'm not surprised that it doesn't work.
Unfortunately, there is no way to exclude races or factions. Unless you make them hostile.

Is there any way to disable a particular race or thing as potential guests? I'm running https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3096501398 and hospitality floooooods me with errors trying if a droid guest shows up and I don't have any way to disable them as potential guests

There's nothing stopping them.

are colonists and guests supposed to be able to get in a relationship? just asking so i can figure out if it's intended or a compatibility problem

There should definitely be a difference noticeable if the room stats are different.

Is it expected, that different rooms give same amount of attractiveness? I have wooden and golden, both are equal in terms of price and attractiveness

Sorry, not doing new features anymore...

Could you add an automatic checkout machine? The kind that works without needing a colonist to operate it! I really love your mod by the way :)

I'm glad to hear it's still enjoyable. I don't really have time to fix it much anymore, so it's good to hear there are still people having fun with it.

Just wanted to say thank you. I've been playing with this mod (and other mods of your's) for years and Hospitality really is the center of my modlist. Great work, thank you very very much.
