Updated to 1.4 at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3123785404 . Will delete that one on author request of course

pawnmorpher and v.a.e is updated to 1.4 it would be nice if this was updated to 1.4

would be cool if this was updated.

Could we get an update, please?+

ok I should have looked at the change notes first, hmm... I would say 5% is acceptable to me - i wonder if the 10% will apply when "wanderer joins"? whatever, that's fine. 5% for the other VE Factions and vanilla factions and 0% for any other modded faction in my game (according to your comment below)... I can dig that. Throwing it in.

is the chance adjustable? I'm just about to start a new game and wondering if I'm ready to re-insert this mod

They work for the Vanilla Expanded Factions. But yeah, for any other custom factions for right now, they can't spawn with these backstories. The way Rimworld handles generating which backstories for a pawn is a bit annoying and the easiest way for me to tone down the use of my backstories during generation was to make them their own set and patch the set in as a chance.

Hoping for the day you figure out configs, because I actually liked how frequent the backstories appeared, lol

Does the way it works in the update you pushed today cause it to not work with custom factions? Because I liked that aspect too.

thank you for update!!

will this be updated to 1.3 now that pawnmorpher is? no rush though!!

Well. It has been a minute since I checked up on this. To respond to your suggestion lilairen, that is what I am planning/currently trying to do. I have been teaching myself C# (it has unfortunately been a slow process) to hopefully code in such features. In my current test build (which if desired I can push out to live), I was able to change the frequency of my backstories appearing, however it's more of a static setting (editing and patching XML defs) and it breaks compatibility with any custom faction (eg any the Vanilla Faction Expanded factions) having my backstories (unless I explicitly patch them in).

To back up what Viper said I'd love it if there were a frequency slider option for the backstories, because I would love to run with this but it's just overwhelming my other pawn options.

fyi one more note, unloading this mod from a save results in the the backstories being replaced randomly and no adverse effect to the savegame, as far as I can tell. Looks good so far.

Fair warning: This amps up the prevalence of morphed pawns significantly in your game. The backstories become available to randomly-generated pawns so you will see a lot of morphs in other factions and coming from "wanderer joins" or "transport pod crashed" type events.

And I dunno why, but it seems to select these backstories for pawn generation far more frequently than I'd expect from a random selection. I was getting morph after morph. It was making Pawnmorpher content rather overwhelming and central rather than the additional side flavor I'd wanted out of it.

I do like these backstories (one of my favorite colonists in my current playthrough is a Chaocow Herder) but I think on my next playthrough I'm going to proceed without this mod. Unless you have a way to reduce/prevent the backstories' usage by the random generator?

well good thing i never use prepare carfuly in the forced regard of mutations for i instead just use it for customs and than drop a item for the mutation so i play it safe :P

Thank you, also these are pretty well written.

Hey-o. Apologies I have been busy recently doing many things (including making more backstories. Currently at 24 as of writing this including 3 for DLC/mods). I updated the description with a list of the current backstories.

Could you add the new backstories into the mod description?

I think it would be a good idea to write on the description at least some of the content and it's features, i don't really understand what it exactly does.

Didn't see any mention of this in the official Pawnmorpher Discord so I've tossed a heads-up their way. You might want to do the same. :)

You might want to add Pawnmorpher as a dependency, someone that hasn't seen the mod might think that this adds all the effects of it in vanilla.
