No Starting Research

for this mod i use https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735268789&searchtext=tech+level
that way your colony tech level advance whith research

@Teneksi Sadly can't do anything about that, in the coding it's either one thing or another, can't change it midway, unless you know that a mod is capable of doing such a thing, I'd like to hear about it.

When I start the game and have no research, that's when I know the mod worked. When we have a fully industrial colony with power armor and the game continues to call us "basic," it's insulting

@Namira Well I made the distinction so that everyone playing would know if the mod was working and if they were doing the correct colonists, the name not having a difference would make it harder to know if you, for exemple, went into an old save.

Changing the name of the colonists could be an option I could add once I figure out how to make an options menu for my mod. But for now, what I would suggest on doing is going on the drive where you installed RimWorld, and then go into "Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\No Research\1.5\Patches\Core\Factions_Player.xml" where you'll find <pawnSingular>basic colonist<pawnSingular>, change that to whatever you want, you can then also change <pawnPlural>.

Hope that helps

Is there a way to make it so that the UI doesn't refer to my dudes as "basic colonists"? (e.g. "raiders are attacking your basic colonists" It's only a tiny thing but it's a weird pet peeve for me that it doesn't just say "colonists"

this is just what i needed! :)

Updated the mod to be compatible with both 1.5 and Anomaly.

Will work on a fix later (Don't know when) for the issues @Dragon of Desire and @mesi brought up

@NewsofPE I think you might just need to re-compile the mod to comply with the 1.5 structure? I might be wrong but I've seen a few different mods where that was the fix :)

@matarile I should have done that when 1.5 was in beta but didn't have the time or pc, will look into it in the following days. My guess is that the 1.4 version still works for 1.5, but if that isn't the case, please warn me and I'll get right on it.

hi any idea about 1.5 update?
