Thanks for making that mod available! it's never make sense to me that pawns with irreligios or atheistic ideology is still pray.

Thank you for this. The vanilla prayer activity never made sense to me. Who or what are they even praying to and why? Plus, if I'm making my own specific ideoligion, I'd rather pawns only pray to or worship what they're supposed to, how they're supposed to, when they're supposed to.

I get "Screw you, dad" vibes from this

is there any similar alternative with compatibility with ideology? so that only pawns with gods within their beliefs will pray

Based

people get offended by everything lol

I wonder how this mod will keep up with the new ideology expansion. or maybe not..

well...people got offended.

Found the redditor

edgy, hope u get that reddit gold

Author provides a mod that removes religion and recommends a "cult" mod as a more realistic depiction of religion to whoever wants religion in their game. I love it! have an upvote!

thanks everyone

Thanks, I linked your Mod :)

Hi VISilt, I made a little No Prayer mod that's similar but allows meditation (so pawns still have an in-room recreation option). It uses the "new" XML patching system to improve compatibility. You're welcome to use my patch code to update yours, or link to mine, or whatever. I'd also be happy to link back to here if you want. Thanks!

How does one "take over" this mod? Is this in git ?

It should still works as it is

Can anyone update this one?

Pretty-please update for 1.1 ?

Thanks so much for this!

This is the mod I've been praying for!

haha,I am totally ok with this mod,maybe because I'm from china~

Thank you.

Sweet! This is the mod I have been wanting for ages.

Love this mod, thank you for updating to 1.0!

This mod only removes praying, nothing else.
As I said before, Colonists still meditate, which can be interpreted into anything. There is also a fifty percent chance, that a colonist will never ever pray. That means that Missionarys have by default a fifty percent chance to never pray anyways.

I am not trying to be a troll. If I was trying to be a troll, I would have said a few other things. And I would keep talking. Peace out!

Did you remove Evangelists and Missionaries? Seems out-of-character for those types to not pray -- and you know their flavor of meditation will also be religious, since that's when they soak it all in, usually before bed. My Missionary does that before bed sometimes. But per his character, he should do it every chance he gets before bed, so it is too bad you won't add more.
As for recent events, my Missionary colonist, after a recent visit from an old Evangelist from another tribe, went on a peacemaking trip to a hostile tribe to both the colony and this Evangelist's tribe. He went alone. But he made peace with them, and now not only will they not attack, they are the friendliest faction known to the colony now. STRAIGHT UP EPIC.

Sry, but I won't add that

What I mean, is, I want even more awe-inspiring procedurally generated epicness in my game, at least with the Missionary types. {Seriously, can you blame a Missionary for praying?} Here's what happened in my game, since I posted that, all procedural, of course. You have to admit, it is something interesting:
I have one colonist who is a missionary. This was set by the game. He has made a lasting friendship with someone whose first words to him were insults, has deep conversations with his new friend about humans being the only sentient life, and she (who insulted him) now likes him and is gaining respect for him twice as fast as he is respecting her. He totally forgave her, and that's epic, it seems, to this other character. Oh -- and he loves his brother 18% more than the game can actually display (add up the percents and it's 118%, but the game only shows a 100% total). This is all done by the game, not me, and that's pure epic. This is right after my post.

New type of raid: "Crusade"

Actually, not all Colonists pray. By default, only half ever prey. But it is beyond our control who does and wo doesn't.
But I can only agree, that it should be expanded

I wish religion would be more expanded in game. Having some pawns that are religous, others that aren't or even opposing religions. Maybe let us build churches, or have facions declare war on each other because of religous differences

Praying falls under "meditative" Joy. Besides that, there is Meditate, Skygaze, Go for a walk, Visit Grave, View Art & Build Snowman.
Other Joy kinds have far fewer examples, so there is no need to replace Praying with sth. else.
There is still Meditate, which can be interpreted into whatever you do alone in your Room

And do more pastime

He probably wants you to do some kind of replacement.
For example,not to pray, but dreams or something like that.

What do you mean?

Can you add a more praying option?

iirc, there was a mod that adds "masturbation" to random pawns so they do that rather than "pray" or "meditate" in their rooms for "joy"

so how about adding joy activities like : "contemplating the universe" or something.. haha.

thank you for the mod

*facepalm*

crgzero woah the edge

Thank you!

Good for you Silt. And good job anyways. I can see lot of people used it so at least it was usefull. ^^

I found it annoying, and it only took a few minutes to make this mod. I don't think it's pointless. Maybe unnecessary. But I've been using this mod for half a year now and prefer it this way.

I am an atheist myself, but this mod is kinda pointless. The word "praying" can be interpret anyway you want. It doesn't have to be gods. It can be merly wishing for yourself a little bit more luck. Anyway, it's as little influencial thing that making mod for it is much unneded.

Thank you for this mod!

Wow, some of the comments, OMG IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE JUST LIKE ME!

Anyway, thanks for the mod. I think religion is a crutch for weak minded tools that have never gotten over the fact that religion was invented by uneducated people who couldn't explain lightning.

It's nice to have the option for those that want it. Thank you c:

@Silt Ah ok, I see then. Sorry for the assumption.

@RainbowChicken3 - I customize my colonist when I start (Prepare Carefully), and I like to start with myself as a Colonist, and it felt weird to see him (me) praying
