Can't for the life of me get this to work for me. I did everything went to the hub and came back and it just says "No faction" no matter what I do. I tried editing in the "shift+f12" mode but the dust tower statue cannot be moved or deleted. I'm just gonna have to give up and try another place for a settlement.

Curious concern.
Does this mod foul if you kill the Dust King BEFORE talking to the Drunk?
Because I did.
So far have not tried the fix actions for the claiming yet. WIll attempt and then keep you posted if it does not work.

I love this location, but sadly I had the same issue (without LW) - tried several different variations but always the same result: ruined tower and no ownership. Honestly I would have been happy owning the ruined tower to start a settlement it's such a gorgeous spot on the map overlooking the river (and the trade route) :)

Recruited the drunk, let the dust king die, and then walked to waystation and back.... but now the tower is ruined and belongs to Holy Nation Outlaws, and a few HN outlaws are camping in the ruins. I have living world installed so perhaps conflict

I once had this mod on and I found a dust bandit camp and I talk to them and 2 of them talked like the drunken bandit and joined me and they said stuff about being in a cage so this is a bug but anyways the rest works and I can own the dust king tower

I got control of the tower but a mercenary squad was at the tower and after some reactive world dust reaver bandits knocked me out the mercs healed me and picked me up. now im 100% healed and stuck in the arms of a merc as bandits occupy my new tower.

wondering if the mercs are from this mod or reactive world?

Got it to work so far as to spawn the Drunk bandit and have him join my party...
but do i HAVE to kill the dust king? I handed him in for the bounty and it says the tower still belongs to him.

I have figured a way to stop the tower from turning back over to the dust bandits. If anyone else is having that issue. of course you need to edit the mod files. I am testing it but I;m fairly certain I've done it.

you can build an impregnable city without crooked walls anywhere in the world, including in the sea using primitive terraforming.

Not working anymore

I moved my whole party to Stack and back, but nothing changed appart from the dead bodys despawning.

have you walked away then come back? the game needs to reload the location to do an override. usually for this mod I walked to the waystation nearby then came back and everything was swapped

Just Living World, but i don´t recall that one tuching the tower.

Aftert importing my save i found the bandit and am now allied with PC - DKT, but still cannot build on the property and the building ownership hasn't changed.

@hunter S. Thompson Nam Tran? is that from another mod? If you have another mod that changes the tower other than reactive world that there will be issues.

guess I have to import the save

I got back to the tower and only found Nam Tran there, no drunken bandit.

yes, for the override the dust king can be imprisoned.

In my current save I captured the Dust King and brought him to the Holy Nation, where he sits in his cage.

Will the override work in this state of the save?

Ok, this is the weirdest thing... But i found the drunk at the Waystation bar... He really IS a drunk!

after reaching waystation and coming back to the tower, the drunk is still not there. What am i doing wrong?

I can't find the dust king. I raided and murdered everyone at the tower and still don't have control after talking to and recruiting the drunk.

I totally second the motion to add the Ruined Holy Outpost to the list. Thank You for putting all that effort into making Kenshi even better!

It would be most excellent if you could also do the Ruined Holy Outpost to the south of here!

@Disnag Burnazog Not as far as I know

I don't think Living World does anything wth tower right?

Nice thanks

@disnag burnazog that should've been far enough. Do you have any mods that change the tower like the new weapons dissemination or reactive world?

@Wolvgar the state relies on him being ok so putting him in a cage will work for the override. As for recruiting him there are other mods like recruitable prisoners to get that done.

can you change kill dust king to a state where we could jail him and recruit later maybe?

I took Dust King to Squin jail long, looong ago.
Tried walking away till I couldn't see the tower, but maybe not far enough, hm...

have you walked far enough away from the tower for the override to happen and killed the dust king? usually I walk to the waystation to the south of the tower.

So I spoke to the drunk bandit, what now? Tower still belongs to dusties.

Any plans to do the ruined holy outpost in the Border Zone?

sounds like it will...

I believe that Triangle bandits from NWDM take over dust king tower after the dust king is killed so that may need a patch
