Compatibility with other mods report
Any mods that do not change NPC settlement maps (different from quest maps like outposts) is likely to work with Powerful Faction Bases. Below is how other Faction-related mods I use work with mine:

This mod is compatible with
* Faction Control
* Real Ruins
* RimCities; although not mandatory, base count setting of 1 is recommended.
* Large Outposts
* EdB Prepare Carefully (load EdB Prepare Carefully first on mod order!)

This mod is incompatible with
* Misc. MapGen FactionBase
* Large Faction Bases
* Vanilla Faction Expanded - Mechanoids

Does this mod affect factions from other mods?
Yes. Settlement of other modded factions will have more costs to spend for the defenders, besides the fact that base number (which can be set from mod settings) will essentially multiply the number of enemies present within a map.

Can anyone bump me if faction discovery works with this mod. Thanks!
If I have time, I'll do it myself.. It took me 20mins to load the game.
So changing the mod list takes another crap load of time.

I see this mod entirely overwrites a lot of Defs, just to edit a few values.

Are you aware of xpath? This patching mechanism allows you to edit just those values that need changing, without overwriting other mods.

Thank you! I actually made Patches version once, but momentarily reverted it due to some bug reports that followed thereafter. I haven't received any confirmation that aforementioned edit was responsible for these problems, though, so will restore it.

Actually, I recognize you as one of active Rimworld modders, so may I ask you for an advice? I wish to create a mod option that changes

<GenStepDef>
<defName>Settlement</defName>
<order>400</order>
<genStep Class="GenStep_Settlement">
<count>3</count>
<nearMapCenter>true</nearMapCenter>
</genStep>
</GenStepDef>

of MapGeneration/BaseFactionMapGenerator.xml

so that players are able to change number of bases that spawn on the map; this would allow them to choose a desirable difficulty. Do you know if it's possible to do? I have absolutely no knowledge of C++ so I'm not sure how difficult it will be to do (if it's possible).

It's possible. It's not too difficult either, just a bit convoluted the way RimWorld has set up mod settings. Reach out to me on the main RimWorld discord at https://discord.gg/RimWorld and I'll guide you through it.

To make it easier on both of us I recommend reading the "setting up an environment" article on the official RimWorld wiki and get as far as you can. Just ask if you get stuck, the discord is a great place to get modding help.

EDIT: One mod which might be able to serve as an example is the "adjustable trade ship frequency" mod. It should do a similar thing.

There is an incompatibility with EdB Prepare Carefully.

For whatever reason (probably over-writing/replacing base defs?) if your mod is loaded first Prepare Carefully does not have a functional button.

I updated the list, thank you for the report.

Dues this work along side large faction bases?
#7
NilchEi  [developer] Aug 11, 2020 @ 10:02am 
Unfortunately no, as both mods try to modify the same thing (settlement map generation). I suggest you give both a try and use what you want. My mod can simulate large faction bases by following mod settings: base count 1, base size 100+. However LFB base layout is definitely more refined.

NilchEi  [developer] Oct 12, 2020 @ 10:25am 
Both my mod and Vanilla Faction Expanded targets same Settlement generation algorithm, and is therefore very difficult to make compatible.

Anybody having issues where it takes long to generate a map? The only mods from the list are EdB Prepare Carefully and Real Ruins (EPC loads first, then RR then this mod)
I just installed it into an existing save and won't load a vanilla pirate base. Running on Linux BTW

Generating large bases do seem to take some time, I suggest you tweak base size & count on mod settings if the loading takes too long.

Seems like lowering overall pawn strength did for me.
