Crime and Vindication

Description
Trigger warning: This mod includes depictions of domestic, verbal and physical violence.

Introduction
In the current meta, Security Stations aren't usually worth it. It's easier to ignore Renegades, or, if you are playing with Rebel Yell, to move them into a murder dome. Some mods have added a few ways to deal with Renegades, but I felt like they were missing something, so I made my own.

I wanted to:
1. Replace Renegade murder domes with Rehabilitation domes
2. Make Officers and Security Stations more appealing
3. Make Crime more diverse and punishing
4. Make Rebel-Yell more fun
5. Add more Renegades to regular games
And I think I've accomplished all points with this mod.

If I have time, I will rework Vindicated to make it less brainwashy; (most people make a death dome for Renegades, one of the goals was to make something better than death domes possible).

I did imagine someone could try something like you describe. I tried to balance the mod to make that harder; you'll need a lot of manpower and resources to keep the Renegades in line, and not only it will take a lot of time and effort for them to become Vindicated, but you also expose yourself to multiple Renegade-based events (such as blowing up your rockets and other facilities, dome's going rogue, people killing each other, shuttles being stolen, massive morale loss colony wide, etc), in addition to all the new crime I added. Security Stations and Rehabilitation Centers don't affect Story Bits.

Given the lifetime of colonists, I don't think it's worth it; but it might work if you have Biorobots. I guess the path is there if you want to explore it.

My intention was not to encourage the creation of Renegades. The system was based around community support groups in south america, where people are helped out of drug use, homelessness, etc, and given the tools to help others avoid the same fate. But I can see how that can be interpreted as brainwashing. I was hoping to make something different, but I could only reform the initial implementation; a total redo would be too much for my modding skills.

Vindicated was chosen because most of the time, it's the player's fault the colonists become Renegades, and Vindicated people in the dome actually lower the chances of others becoming Renegades; though the actual mechanics are a bit complicated to explain (in interrupts the code that turns people into Renegades).

The 30% chance is both for game balance and based on domestic violence statistics found online: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/violence-against-women (30% of women have reported some form of domestic violence). The numbers are probably higher, since this is only accounting reported cases. It was difficult to both model the statistic and balance the gameplay.

If you have 100 Renegades not in Rehabilitation and without any Security Facilities in the same dome, then yes, they could potentially steal 100% of your money. The big Security Stations reduce this by 5*performance, the smaller ones by 2*performance, and none of the Renegades in Rehabilitation participate in any crimes.

i like the idea overall, but i have to ask...

what kind of dystopian hell hole do you live in where unhappy people commit domestic violence 30% of the time?

and if i have 100 renegades, they can somehow steal every penny in my coffers?

and this seems to encourage you to create renegades only to rehab them for the +20 performance bonus.

so i should have a hellish "hardening" dome, then a rehab dome, then my actual active domes with the improved, hardened, tough, loyal, brainwashed colonists?

I like these changes/additions.

Haha I think protests should be in another mod entirely and not a "crime", tho it kinda fits "renegades"...
Tremualin  [author] 17 Jun, 2022 @ 5:48am 
Only the largest will apply.

Thanks.

But if my IoFP dome has 2 or more kinds of medical facilities (like my screenshot link above : that dome has Sanatorium and Hospital) then the effect of "Criminal Psychologists" stacks? or only the largest is applied?
Tremualin  [author] 16 Jun, 2022 @ 11:03am 
That's a good idea. I'll add that in another update.
