Vanilla Factions Expanded - Classical
Config Whitelist/Blacklist For Senator Quests
It would be very nice if you guys could add a mod config for VFE: Classical which lets players blacklist certain quests from being chosen. Whitelisting quests would also be interesting I suppose in case some quests are not available and players want them to be.

In general the quests are very balanced for gaining a senator's favor; defeat a handful of bandits at a far away camp and you get the senator's favor. Every so often, however, it is not.

In my case specifically, I am getting VFE: Insectoids 2 "Destroy Hive" quests with as many as 16 hives on the map. That translates to over 50 insects I would say, which I can't even handle at my own base with all my colonists in defensive positions. I am playing as a neolithic colony which needs Classical techs to advance to the next tech level so I am not particularly well equipped, and certainly not for that many insects.

I suspect this may be an unintentional interaction between the two mods; either these quests should not be offered by Senators or they should have significantly less bugs. I'm filling out a bug report just in case you guys need it for that reason, but I think a config blacklist would be nice either way as I imagine there are other mods out there which add quest types that would be seriously unbalanced for the same reasons.

Agreed with this. I've similarly had problems with being given emerging hive quests that I was nowhere close to being able to handle. I've also had the "approaching siege" quests from VFE Medieval 2 show up, which don't actually award the senator's favor, since normally their "reward" is not getting a larger raid (plus camp loot).

In the meantime, I've just used Cherry Picker to disabled those quests entirely, but that has the downside of removing a bit of the emergent gameplay that can happen from them occurring normally.
