Random Factions (Continued)

Update of Dr. Plantabytes mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2896649114

- Added translation support





Randomly add factions instead of choosing them manually. Every world is unique!



If you like installing mods that add new factions and xenotypes, you quickly accumulate a large number of factions. Adding them all to each world is tedious, and you don't really need 3 flavors (pirate, rough, & civil) of every single new culture you added to the game.

Wouldn't it be much more fun if each world had a different and unique combination of factions?

Of course that's more fun! And now you can! Just fill your faction list with a dozen random factions and presto! Every world is unique.

This mod pairs well with the Planet Setting Randomizer mod.

This mod depends on the Hugs Lib mod. Please make sure you install that mod first and have it load before this one.

Random factions adds 4 placeholder factions (see below), each of which is randomly replaced with another faction. Dr. Plantabyte personally recommends 4 random, 2 civil, 2 rough, and 1 pirate factions, plus 1 each of Mechanoid hive and Insect geneline, but you can do any combination you want.

After clicking Generate, you will only see the random factions as '?' icons. You won't know who your neighbors will be until the game starts. As soon as your pawns spawn in the new world, you will be able to see the new factions in the world map.



From the main menu screen, click Options - Mod options - Random Factions to see the options for this mod.


* Re-organize Factions: If checked, then the New Colony screen will start with only random factions instead of standard factions (checked by default)
* % Xenotype Frequency: ()if you do not have Biotech DLC installed, this option does nothing) 0-100% control of how often to convert a baseliner faction into a random xenotype factions (default 15%)
* Allow Duplicate Factions: If checked, then the same faction may be chosen multiple times, e.g. your would could end up with 3 different Rough Outlander Factions (unchecked by default)




Note: Hidden factions such as Mechanoids Hive, Insect Genelineand the Empire will *not* be randomly selected
* Random Faction: replaced with a randomly selected faction
* Random Civil Faction: replaced with a randomly selected neutral faction
* Random Rough Faction: replaced with a randomly selected aggressive faction
* Random Pirate Faction: replaced with a randomly selected permanently hostile faction


If you have Biotech DLC installed, then not only do random factions pick a faction when the game starts, but may also substitute the baseliner humans for a randomly selected xenotype.

For example, if you have both VFE Vikings and the Mythic Biotech Expansion mods installed, then there is a chance that your world may have *Dragon Vikings*!

Any mod that adds a new faction will automatically be detected by Random Factions and will randomly be added to the world when you use the random selection factions described above.

In addition, the following mods unlock extra features when installed alongside Random Factions:

Random Factions does not interfere with Faction Control, nor is it affected by it.

As of update 1.4.2, new factions added by Random Factions will be ignored by VFE Core's mid-game new faction detector, since there is no logical reason to spawn them mid-game (previously, VFE would spam you with pop-ups after adding Random Factions mid-game).

If VFE Mechanoids and/or VFE Insectiods are also installed, then Random Factions will add random factions called "random mechanoid" and "random insectoid", which have a 50-50 chance of turning into either the vanilla version or the VFE version of mechanoids or insectoids respectively.

Installing Random Factions will have no effect on existing game saves. You will have to create a new game to utilize the random factions mechanics.

In general, uninstalling any mod which adds a faction or xenotype used in your game save can cause data corruption. Uninstalling Random Factions itself can only damage your game save if you have Biotech DLC installed and a xenotype version of a basliner mod was added to your world. In this case, those random xenotype factions will stop working when you load the game without Random Factions.
