Hmm I'll check that out.

Not only that, some of the slavers will give you food every time, because your shackled bony butt is intimidating them somehow.

You can ask your slaver for food and they might feed you.

Ah, it was for a joke. So it's either a joke, or can't beg without starving. I'll go for can't beg without starving for now.
Lawh  [author] 19 Jan, 2024 @ 7:20am 
I'll have a look at that, I think I might not have made it mandatory to be starving though that would help a lot of things. Thanks for the heads up!

Very cool mod so far. I noticed I can beg when I'm not hungry?
Lawh  [author] 19 Jan, 2024 @ 3:10am 
Should be fixed now.
Lawh  [author] 19 Jan, 2024 @ 12:09am 
Be advised, I noticed one occasion where this mod opened up the wrong dialogue on a person, but since I didn't write it down I forgot which one it was. It wasn't anything crucial but I am looking to fix it, right now actually.

Going to give this a go. Hmm.

Not dead, thank goodness, haha, did get my little mods to work, but they are sort of cheaty in the fact that they produce something out of nothing, perhaps if I took the time to make them to some large number it would help not to spam their use.
Glad to hear the dialogs for animals have changed, it would be interesting to see if your begging would work for them. If you want to take a look, if you have time.
I could look and see how you did it, but dialogs are new and I don't grasp all of how they work.
Anyway, glad you are back and hope it looks workable.
Thanks for considering it,
Teal

Hey!

This is a late response, but I was unsubbed from all my mods and didn't realize it, but am back now going through mods one at a time fixing them.

Apparently there has been a change with dialogue where animal dialogue now works more similarly or exactly like human dialogue. If that's true, then adding something like this is something that I can do. However, it's been almost a year since your message, so you might be dead.

would you consider a dialog for animals, meaning that people could offer food to homeless dogs and goats and other animals? I am doing a dog and goat only play through and trying to get ways for animals to survive without starving. I have two little mods I am putting together for an auto animal feeder and a dead corpse. So, the circumstances for close to city and also out in the wilds could be covered for finding food. Theoretically my little mods should work, but haven't built them yet, so I don't know what kind of issues I may run into. But saw your begging mod and thought a dialog, much like animal tamer mods, might be able to give food to animals when animals can't 'talk'. Anyway, just a thought, take care and I'll let you know how I fare on the other little mods. I have made a few, but there is a ton I still haven't figured out, haha.

为什么乞讨一直不成功啊
Armorguy1 17 Aug, 2021 @ 4:04pm 
does that mean the UC will kick you out as soon as you try to ask a guard for food? xD
Vader_Talloran 18 Jun, 2021 @ 6:10am 
nice

@LawH, can't wait - just started the new playthrough and testing :-) My 7 half-wits (from the Starving Bandits - Player Start mod by Teirlandin) whining they are hungry and begging for food (your great mod) and trying to survive (Ironman mod). True Kenshian way! :-)
Lawh  [author] 20 Oct, 2020 @ 9:59am 
There had to be consequences lol, glad you like it my friend :D
Mezla 20 Oct, 2020 @ 9:36am 
That should be a feature in Kenshi2! Imo a great addon to deeper immersion. 😉 And that chance for critical failure when the guards are haha, fed up with this filthy nuisance to the public order? Brillant! Shared in the FB group and going to play now with this mod installed.

Lawh  [author] 12 Jul, 2019 @ 7:31am 
Got a few spare minutes and took a "break" to add a beggar to Mongrel and Clownsteady as tests. I will add him to other towns as well once I have tested it out :)
Lawh  [author] 12 Jul, 2019 @ 6:57am 
Modding is fairly limited in some aspects of this game, so I'll have to check that job out. I could do it by placing a building in a town, in front of which you can beg, and get some food really slowly.

I was also planning on adding beggars to towns that will ask for food from NPC's and players, with the same response system as it is right now for the player.

I have been busy with my Take Over the World mod, and am now testing other mods as well, but I will make note of this and begin work asap, probably tonight in the evening :)
y-man 12 Jul, 2019 @ 6:18am 
Oh yes, professional beggars :)
If you have a house with a food storage inside they can go and store every food item they begged.
That is a vanilla job that should be before your begging job in the list. I hope the begging job is possible.
Sir Luis 27 Jun, 2019 @ 3:30pm 
hey is there any progress? on this? to automate the job?
Lawh  [author] 25 Jun, 2019 @ 2:14pm 
Hmmm, I think I could do it. I know that NPC's can't take your items, so they can't beg, except as a cosmetic background thing, but as a job I think yes.

I'll have a look at it asap.
Sir Luis 25 Jun, 2019 @ 12:15pm 
is it possible to automate this as a job? where someone begs for food automated?
Lawh  [author] 10 Jun, 2019 @ 11:57am 
The pleasure is mine! I actually heard of some of your mods/modlist just yesterday :)
Timesplitter 8 May, 2019 @ 12:06am 
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. :steamhappy: Timesplitter.
Lawh  [author] 5 Apr, 2019 @ 1:58am 
The problem is that if you make NPC's beg, there's no way to have them TAKE an item from you. What one could do is make an atmospheric addition to this mod where people beg for food from other people and then get responses from them, like put them in jail etc.
Lawh  [author] 5 Apr, 2019 @ 12:39am 
So that they will beg for food, or that you can beg for food from them?
kingboy 4 Apr, 2019 @ 10:22pm 
Is it possible to add this to the NPC AI (like the empire citizens)
Unahku 27 Mar, 2019 @ 7:37am 
*evil grin* Excellent
Lawh  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 7:36am 
lol. Added that.
Unahku 27 Mar, 2019 @ 7:33am 
Should happen only in the UC cause its illegal to be poor...lol
Lawh  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 3:34am 
Done :)
Lawh  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 3:25am 
If that's what you enjoy, then I won't make you wait!
Remorhaz 27 Mar, 2019 @ 1:48am 
there should be an option for critical failure where the guard belts you across the face and throws you out of the city for being a vile beggar
Lawh  [author] 20 Mar, 2019 @ 5:05pm 
The plan is to make this possible with town guards, some farmers and the like, random people like civs in towns. Some traders can be asked for food as well, but in some cases no.

I think the best way to figure out how it works, is talk to them, they'll give you a response. Begging however is not a respected profession, so there will possibly be some faction rep losses, which you can make back slowly. But this gives a realistic chance for people who don't like loading games to at least not starve to death.
Unahku 20 Mar, 2019 @ 3:54pm 
So hows it work?
