I have asked the forbidden chatgpt what might be causing this mod to have the effect of removing slaves from settlements, and it gave some opinions. I am not a programmer, so I have no idea if it is making crap up or not, but maybe it will help. https://imgur.com/a/RHqL2Sm

I have 2 mods that alter the stock generator for settlements. One of them is "FSF Tweaks", which has a patch to change the number of slaves that settlements are able to stock, and the other is "Tribals Always Sell Slaves".

When I use your mod, it disables both of the patches in the other mods, and makes it so that settlements never have slaves, except for the Empire.

As soon as I disable your mod, all the settlements have slaves again.

To everyone who is complaining about it removing good traits - a lot of "good" traits are simply a different severity version of a "bad" trait, so e.g. the "super immune" trait is internally called "sickly" but then with a modifier to move it to the opposite end of the scale - so a simple code to remove sickly will also remove super-immune (and vice-versa).

Therefore, I would recommend the creator of the mod modifies their mod to account for the intensity/severity (I'm not a coder so don't know quite how to make this, nor am I quite certain of the variable names, this is based on observation during the game and looking at game logs)

I used the mine tune reward, and it removed the Jogger trait, when they also had Gourmand, Cannibal, and Recluse.

Why would it think that Jogger is a bad trait? I reloaded and did the ceremony again a few times, and it removed the same trait again on the same person, and the 3rd time it was gourmand on the same person. On the 4th attempt, I told that person to leave the ceremony before it completed, and it still removed the gourmand trait from them. I would expect that if a person leaves, they would not have the reward applied to them.

I have other people in the group with psychically deaf, chemical fascination, wimp, misandrist, creepy breathing, chemical interest, a second pawn with wimp, a third pawn with wimp, and misogynist.

For the Mind Tune ritual, can you use what we've set up in Ideology Virtues mod to decide what constitutes a bad or good trait? I have a run where I like my pawns to have a trait that this mod considers "bad" and wants to remove. If it could check against Ideology Virtues to see what should be removed, what should be ignored, and what should be added, that would be great!

and/or any advice on rebuilding your assembly. short version of the 3 errors is:

1. 'RaceProperties' does not contain a definition for 'wildness'
2. 'WeatherManager' does not contain a definition for 'growthSeasonMemory'
3. Argument 3: cannot convert from 'bool' to 'Verse.ThingDef'

I wouldn't upload or share any of your files of course, just want to make a local change for testing to the success chance in Class1.cs, but like I said I can't get "build" to work even before I make any changes

Awesome mod! Any way you could add a mod option to increase the chance the heal ritual reward works? I'm building a mod allows you to include "downed" pawns in rituals, with the express idea that people would use it along side your mod in order to heal incapacitated pawns. Right now I'm doing testing though, and the low chance to heal would mean many reloads, and when I tried to rebuild your assembly.dll I got three errors even before I made any changes to my local copy to your mod.

could you possibly add a version of the "Heal" ritual that resurrects instead, with an even lower chance? :]

Random option plzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Also peak mod

You should make a masked apostles one for either the cultist one or the anominity where a bunch of masked guys come in to help

Reward suggestion (or a bit of a request), research random unlocked technology (or give progress to currently being researched). I'd love it for a playthrough based on where you can't do researches normally but instead have to use prisoners/slaves for it, so an execution ritual could reward with techs like that.

Very cool mod, @Sinnamon, thank you! But i want to report some wrong (for my point) behavour. Mind Tuning removes Fast Walker when i have High life meme active. I wonder why it considered "bad".

random option

What a fun and wonderful mod. Definitely going to use this for some extra fun chaos on the Rim. :D

Any chance you can get random option going again?

Appreciate the work hard work on this mod!

I confirmed that the mind tune is suffering from spaghetti.
I am currently working on it to rework it!

lmao, yeah. Its not gonna push it's self i guess. Thanks for the hard work on this one. it's fun!

well, you were busy pushing that boulder! :D

This has been out since 2021 and I just found it. I've been missing out!

oh yeah.. that doesn't sound right... let me take a look

Mind tuning just removed Body modder from my transhumanist ideology... Something isnt right...

Cheers for the update i'll give it a go!

Thank you for the update!

Thanks! It should not be restricted to a particular meme though, since they are not a part of ideology.

oh I remember seeing creepjoiner while translating the game, but I don't have Anomaly.
maybe ill do some digging and see if I can add that reward for the inhumane meme

Thank you so much

I would love to see one that attracts a creepjoiner.

Thanks!

I've updated the mod to support 1.6
I will now look into some of the suggestions.

does this mod allow you to have your ideologions preferred xenotypes come as the new colonist instead of a random xenotype? Thanks!

I think I fixed the code, but didn't get to check to see if it works in game yet.

How is the progress? Would be nice to get an update.

Does the Mind Tune reward work with the Ideology Virtues mod to determine which traits to add/remove? It seems like it should, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Ideology Virtues lets you set preferred and disapproved traits as part of your ideology, so it would make sense that this reward would use that as a guide to determine which traits to add/remove.

Take the time you need, congrats on the new family member!

No worries Sinnamon, take your time. You have a good mod here and thanks for the explaination on the random reward. Im still shocked this wasn't put in the base game as is.

If you're changing random reward, could you make it a ckecklist so we can customise the pool?

and as for the random rewards, I think I temporarily removed the aurora and random reward, because they were throwing errors. I couldn't split my attention to do debugging.
Once I get some more free time on my hand, I will look into adding those in.
If I end up getting Anomaly and Odyssey, maybe I can think of couple of new things to add too, but it's no guarantee.

I will revive it for 1.6 in about a week! Sorry everyone who has been waiting for so long.
I wanted to update the mod for the Anomaly, but a new family member was added, and couldn't get myself to start playing games for so long.

Author not commented in a while, not sure if this is being continued?

Does it work with 1.6?

These ritual rewards are SO much more interesting and thematic than the vanilla ones, thank you for making this mod and I hope to see it working in 1.6!

Very much miss the random reward part! Thanks for the good times

This mod rocks, fingers crossed for 1.6!

Will this be updated for 1.6?

Wasn't this the mod that had the "random reward" option?

If so why'd it go away? =(

oh god i just came for interesting spice to my ideo , that "Mind Tune" is a Eltex Material !!!! Can we use it any amount of times on single pawn ??!!

Why was the bountiful harvest removed? :(

@sinnamon - By chance do you have a github? Im curious in digging more into the Mental Tuning ritual. In playing around I have seen some instances for the traits that have degrees that sometimes the ritual reward doesnt seem to act right (ie remove the degree 2 Industriousness perk and Ive also had the same pawn gain degree 1 NaturalMood and then have a subsequent ritual "change" it but instead of making it the degree 2 it removed it instead).
