so I'm not sure if it counts as a bug but I'm having a slight issue when it comes to using the mod to swap xenotypes, I can't seem to swap those when I'm looking to build the characters. I can manually change them before I hit the button and they look like they keep the xenotype they had before I pushed the Prepare button but after it just does nothing when I try to change to one of the others.

edit: so I was playing around and realized that it works when using the randomize option but I have to chose what xenotype each time. will continue to play around and see if this is just me or if I actually need help.

i can't choose custom xenotypes, only the defaults.

Custom Xenotypes revert to being baseliner. Setting a colonist as a custom xenotype resets him to baseliner upon starting a game, and setting the custom xenotype during character creation and hitting randomize also sets it back to baseliner

im having trouble loading presets it does not save the pawns backstory and then everything breaks is it just me?

What other people say with baseliner types. odly all the superpowers transfer over but they count as baseliner so they cannot implant genes

Thanks all for letting me know about the custom xenotype problem. I'm working on a fix.

A new version of the mod (1.4.2) has been released that should address the issues with custom xenotypes. Let me know if you are still seeing problems.

I have unsubscribed and resubscribed a couple of times but the mod still shows 1.3 as its latest compatible version in my game.

After a reaaallyyy long time of trial and error, I'm proud to say that the mod "Open World" conflicts with Prepare Carefully and won't let you click on the Prepare Carefully button to create colonists. Double checked it, this is the only change I am making that lets me enable/disable the bug.

Thankfully, I can settle with changing my mod list whenever I want to play online.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS TECHNIQUE WILL LIKELY PRESERVE YOUR CHARACTERS AND SAVED CHARACTERS.

This was happening to me, and there was a specific work order I had to do in order to get this fixed. Under your 'Advanced...' options for eDb's mod, click open folder to browse to the folder holding this mod (remember this folder random numbers ##########). Next, unsubcribe from the mod on the workshop. (remember that folder from a moment ago?) Now delete that folder from your steamapps content folder. At this point there should be no trace of eDb's prepare carefully mod, except for your saved-character-manifest (no idea where this is store). At this point, when you subscribe to the mod again via workshop, you will need to reenable the mods in your mod list.

I can confidently say that I see that a fix is in place where the xenotype definition is now supported after a custom xenotype has been created. Unironically I had ran in to a bug on my campaign and tracked it back to this, not but 4 hours after the author updated.

This bug should be verified fixed. Thanks author!!

now lets you choose xenotype but does not transfer to ingame!

Trying to understand from the comments if the latest release (1.4.2) fixed the problem with custom xenotypes. I see the comment from @Gula suggesting that it's fixed, but the comments from others (@bigmalf98, @littlekoala1014) suggest that when you start the game, the pawns that you set up with custom xenotypes in Prepare Carefully are showing up as baseliner.

Anyone else? Be sure that steam updated you to latest version of the mod (1.4.2).

Apologies for this bug. I know it seems like it should be straitforward to fix, but the way the custom xenotypes work in the game make it a little more difficult to get it working than you would think.

Thanks @Pluto for letting me know. I will fix this.

@Gula Thanks for posting those instructions for forcing the mod to update to the latest version. I'm not sure why that happens. I think it's a Steam Workshop issue and is out of my control, but if anyone knows otherwise, let me know.
