Chinese translation，just in case.

使用示例：
在NPC城镇收集独特角色并解散他们。
在雇佣兵公会附近解散一个训练好的角色。
在城镇守卫附近解散一个训练好的角色。
在商队守卫附近解散一个训练好的角色。
在敌对派系附近解散一个训练好的角色。
解散角色后，可以在附近的城镇雇佣他们。

这个MOD允许被解散的角色自愿加入NPC小队。你可以解散玩家角色，使其成为“NPC守卫、商店守卫、雇佣兵、商人士兵等”。
使用方法：
解散玩家角色。
被解散的角色变成技术猎人，游历世界。
当角色在游荡时发现NPC时，他会加入NPC小队。
角色会变更为参与小队的设定（派系、AI、对话等）。
*目标NPC需要在技术猎人看来与其保持中立的派系关系。
我们不能参与派系关系不变的小队，例如野生动物。
原本是技术猎人的角色可能无法参与NPC小队。
使用MOD生成的角色可能无法参与NPC小队。
使用步骤1和2的行为与原版相同。
在参与的小队中，需将目标角色以外的其他角色排除或击杀，才能成为队长。

Instructions unclear. What you need to do is 1. have your squad member FOLLOW someone in another faction and 2. then dismiss that squad member. They will join the faction of the person they are following.

Lol, my bonedog talks to me :0

Any recruits I hire from Holy Nation territory will not become anything other than Tech Hunters (tried Trade Ninjas, Holy Nation Outlaws, Shinobi Thieves, even back to Holy Nation as guards). The "..." dialogue pops up when near a squad, but always remains Tech Hunters. Verified that recruits from The Hub still work though.

Izumi: "I want to do science!"
Mod: You're a gate guard. Good luck.

Dismissing them near nomads or cannibal hunters' camp guarantees them joining the respective faction.

参加させる先の勢力はテックハンターと中立の勢力である必要がある、とのことですが、テックハンターと同盟していると駄目でしょうか？
……というのも、テックハンターが中立的勢力と同盟を組むMODを併用しておりまして、どうやらそれらの勢力にキャラを参加させることができなさそうでして……。

If you want to make a specific character the leader of a mercenary squad or bar thug squad. Simply pick up all other members of the squad at the same time then put them back down. Since all the other members were technically in an "unconscious state" it will assigned the squad leader function to the specific character that is left standing.

Works for Me. It's really cool feature, thanks for creating this.
I ordered one of My members to bodyguard gatekeeper and then dismissed her, then she ran for like 3 seconds under the Tech Hunters faction and then switched to Holy Nation.
Now she is Running around shopping and guarding the town's gate.

So with Recruit prisoners it didnt work ?

元奴隷のキャラクターを解雇した場合に分隊への合流が発生しないように思われます。
恐らくもともとの所属は浮浪者かならずものあたりでしょうから、そのへんがテックハンターと敵対していないかFCSにて確認しましたが、友好度上の問題ではないようでした。
仕様上避けられない挙動になりますか？

So they join the surrounding faction?

So, they will not join a faction that i'm allied with?

Tech Hunter is just temporary until they find another faction. Try having them follow a faction you want them to join before you dismiss them.

I still have my dismissed members turn into Tech Hunters and go for the Wandering Trader job like in Vanilla after some shopping. Is it possible there's a conflict with Kaizo? Only other mod Im running that affects AI as far as I can tell.

@Mazza +1

Hello, would this Mod work with the other Mod - Sparring Partner? I think they both use the dismiss character option, so i wasn't sure? thank you

a trader guild slave joined trader guild lmao

Had a tech hunter bonedog before your mod. After your mod it is now a Shek Kingdom gate guard! Thanks for a great mod Stilldoll!

Stilldoll, I was reading about your adventurer NPC AI attempt.

Other mods make NPCS buy things like weapons and armor by adding them to a shopping list. If these items are purchased from a player controlled shop, they are removed from the stall.

Can something like this not work for the adventurer AI?

残念ながら野生動物や草食動物、放浪者などの
友好度が表示されない勢力には仲間になりません。
また、テックハンターは友好度が表示されますがこの勢力も仲間になりません。
この問題はMOD側で変更が出来ない部分なので残念に思います。

ホーリーネイション壊滅のため、メガラプターを仲間にしていたのですが、建物インポートののちにメガラプター・アイランドに行ってみると、また別のメガラプターが居まして、その目の前で自前メガラプターを解雇したのですが、仲間になりませんでした。
もしかして、野生動物にはこのＭＯＤは適用できないんでしょうか？

I use translation.
Yes, this MOD does not work for factions that do not display relations such as "Drifters".
Thank you for your comment.

Never mind. It was because of the drifter faction. Switched the guards to Mercenary guild and it worked fine!

So, I'm doing a play through where I'm trying to restore Bast to a glorious state. I've added some guards and a shopkeeper to the residents in Bast. They spawn fine, but when I dismiss my freed slaves in Bast, they don't join the town. They might wander around for a while in town shopping or patrolling, but after some time they just walk away as a wandering trader. What am I doing wrong? I believe everyone is faction drifter.

I use translation.
I returned to Steam for the first time in 4 months.
I thank you for your comments.
Also, I could not reply.
I'm sorry.

After working out my bug that wasn't a bug after all i've played with this mod a bit and wanted to report my experience with it.
I made some unique looking npcs with the plastic surgeon from slaves i'd rescued and then dismissed them next to a merc squadat the waystation (borderlands), after hiring the merc squad those same npc in a massive merc squad (thnx to my npc donations) are now patrolling my base on a single merc contract.
All in all awesome mod thnx for making it.

really want them can be the npc of my own town，i try to let mercenary guard my town and dismiss my teammate near them, but it didn't work

Ignore my last comment lol, i just discovered it never WAS a button but you have to DRAG a character onto it lol.

for some reason my dismiss button cant be used and it doesn't have a box around it, any ideas? i thought maybe it conflicted with dark ui mod but after removing that to test it still wont work.
I tried with multiple characters and in multiple towns.

can you m ake them NPCs for your faction town? I want people in my town, but don't want to babysite 80 people.

so does this only work on unique companions or all companions (probably a stupid question but ha ho)

Thank you for this amazing mod that I have included in "Kenshi: The World Divided". This Mod Collection has been fully tested and works perfectly. Thank you again for the great mod to add to this collection. Timesplitter.

I use translation.
Hubs can join only limited factions.
For example, Holy Nation Outlaws, Trade Ninjas.
If he could not find them, he would leave the hub wandering with tech hunters.

Also, they do not join the Drifter faction staying at the hub. That's because it is an unchanging faction of the same relationship as animals.

didnt work. i dismissed the unique npc cats and left him in the hub for later but he dissapeared.

Thanks still doll.
I thought i noticed this when i saw npcs at shops. They used money but never actually take anything apart from food.
Its interesting because the devs where talking about improving kenshi 1 while making 2.
I hope they fix this so npcs can buy anything.

@grimwold
I created an AI, but that was impossible.
I'm sorry.

When it sets shopping, the character will try to shop, but there will be no items in the inventory and only money will be consumed.
Also, food is the only thing you can shop for.
It goes into the inventory.

And automatic equipment was also impossible.
However, if the character is not equipped with weapons or armor, he will steal weapons from the knocked out NPC.

Automation is not possible with the current Kenshi, but there is hope for Kenshi2.

Thank you stilldoll

OK!
It's certainly a complex AI, but it is a lot of fun if it is possible.
Also, as you say it may be impossible to implement.
I will check if that AI is possible, which takes a long time.
I will comment if possible or impossible.

Hey that is great that you understand my intention. I was thinking of more of a adventurer A.I. It could play out similar to a interactive wanderer.
Ideally it would auto equip and buy med packs and food. But i do not think that will be possible.
So it could play like a screen saver.
If you do not understand i can elaborate a bit more.
Yes it was me on player ai mod. :)

I understood your intention.
It might be possible to implement if it is a Players AI MOD.
What is your automation?
For example, find an enemy, roam, patrol a town.
I already implemented that mod, but if you wish I will create a new AI.
But complex AI may make it impossible.

Also, I remembered you.
Last year I received a comment on Players AI MOD page.
I'm glad.

thank you ill try it,
I was intrested in the automatization of the player character.
just for fun.

I'm sorry,
I could not implement the player character go up level.
But that mod has its potential.

There is a recommended mod for you.
It is an NPC and a reliable partner.

Is there any way to activate this without dismissing.
So say you only have one character you activate Each Person's Life and you can the watch your character level up.

Thank you for your accurate comments.
I fixed the MOD.
If you have any problems, please let me know.
I will fix it.
Thank you for your comment!
