Great mod idea, better than completely removing tainted or adding a "washing machine" style fix. I really like the way you include testimonials in the description about it being OP, as if people wanting to get rid of the vanilla tainted mechanic thought doing so would not affect game balance.

thanks

Gotta love how people say it's op while also find no issue in post apocalypse or war movies and shows when characters loot bodies for clothing. Like, do you think people in vaults in Fallout just remade clothes every time someone dies? Or recycled pipboys? Nah, this is more of a realistic change if anything. People who argue that games need to be challenging all the time for things like if the character is uncomfortable with the clothing they're wearing need to reassess what a game is. Not everyone plays to challenge themselves, they also play to relax and escape the shit in the world. Why would people who want escapism and to relax want to dive into artificial shit?

I'm grateful to find a mod that is unapologetic about being beneficial. People have internalized that gaming is supposed to be miserable, I swear, the base game needs mods to eliminate ridiculous and unrealistic difficulty components. Tainting clothes makes sense but not immediately.

I had no plans to update this tonight, but I figured I'd check if all it needed was a quick recompile. Seems like that was the case, though I've only done some light testing in 1.6. Report any errors in the new discussion thread for 1.6 bug reports.

Before anyone asks...

Yes I already know the mod doesn't work for the unstable 1.6 branch.
Yes I already know it makes all pawns completely unkillable.
Yes I know it needs to be updated.
Yes I will get to it soon.

"OP" bro then don't use it, it's like someone saying using a bridge is stupid, I love the challenge of swimming through the river.

Thanks Inglix

Anyone claiming this is "op" are idiots, when the game already allows geneva convention violations and cannibalism.

Pushed an update that should hopefully resolve the issue. In testing with over 900+ other mods I could no longer reproduce the issue, but let me know if it persists for anyone.

Seems like the issue may be due to a conflict with Big & Small Framework. I'm able to reproduce this issue with only that mod and this one active. It's certainly no fault of RedMattis, as it's unlikely they would have predicted that a mod like this had a Harmony Postfix on Corpse.RotStageChanged.

Now that I know the likely culprit, I have some ideas on how to resolve it. Stay tuned.

First of all, I apologize for the prolonged silence. I've been a bit out of sorts lately and haven't been in the right headspace to do much of anything beyond the bare necessities of life.

I've just tried to reproduce this with an otherwise empty mod list and it appears to be working as intended. Seems like this might be a mod conflict of some kind. If anyone experiencing this problem could submit some Hugslib logs in the pinned Bug Reports discussion thread it might be helpful in tracking down the culprit.

Adding one to the "durr broken" pile - humans seem to be tainting clothes instantly upon death.

HOWEVER, with modded xenotypes (I tested some of the big and small xenotypes, the vanilla expanded xenotypes, and the venator xenotype), it seems to function as intended.

In my experience it is only affecting vanilla baseliners... so far.

It is not OP, if i find a power armour in a normal playtrough, i am using it even if it is tainted, and even so, in most cases you can strip your enemies in time. Also, that horrible quality tshirt at 20% hp is pretty much worthless

Also not working, would love an update

Same problem. The mod should go before mods for performance, but after all the others, then maybe it will work.

Chiming in, also stopped working.

FIVE SECOND RULE!

I too, am adding a 'not working' to the pile. Maybe a common dependency mod updated to change or otherwise overwrite the 'Corpse.RotStageChanged' and/or 'Pawn_ApparelTracker.Notify_PawnKilled' methods, but I'm not sure which it could be. I haven't exactly been tracking updates myself tbh.

stopped working suddently, shame since it's a must for me

adding another "not working" to the pile. no error, nothing in logs. no idea whats up.

Oh, it stopped working for me too but I switched my modlist so until I saw the other comments I thought it was an incompatibility and therefore my fault lol
It seems like the apparel stays clean for a split second after the pawn dies, but then becomes tainted as usual.

Haven't had time to investigate what changed yet, but I will look into it as soon as I can.

Same thing as other people are reporting, suddenly stopped working and I don't know why lol

Has very suddenly stopped working in the past day or so.

Also not working on my end

Seems like it recently stopped working.

it doesnt seem to be working for me, clothes are becoming tainted as usual

Too many years of "Loot the Corpses" for one game to get salty about it. Love this.

Damn... "Five Second Rule" would have been a hilarious name for this mod. Talk about a missed opportunity!

Yes! The 5 second rule should apply to dead people, too~

This should be Vanilla (even if it is OP, tainted clothes don't make any sense). Thank you for the mod.

I was never so unfathomably rich before

from me view u forgiven yeah it a bit broken but if people dont be looking for something as this they dont be downloading it anyway and if u rly care for balance just make washing machine that remove tainted status after a long work something as this for example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Pyykki-Maija_crank-operated_washing_machine%2C_1940s.jpg

I don't know if I can forgive you to the damage you've caused to rimworld gaming, but it's a whole new brave world now...

Well that's it everyone. Mieke has opened my eyes to the harsh truth which had thus far evaded my sight. Since I have now been shown the error of my ways I have no choice but to delete this mod and forsake RimWorld forever.

I will spend the remaining years of my life repenting for the unforgivable crime of disrupting the difficulty balance of a single-player sandbox game with an entirely optional mod. I am a monster who does not deserve forgiveness, and I can only hope that the gaming community can someday recover from the grievous damage I have caused.

Thank you Mieke. You have saved this community.

This mod makes the game too easy. There's a reason why clothing is tainted when raiders die

allowing tainted & tattered clothes are from Scrapper Ideology in this mod
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2636329500

For those saying it's broken. I dunno if it's Ideology by default or some xtended ideology mod I slapped on, but there's an option to make your colonists not bothered by tainted or even tattered clothes. So the only thing this mod really does is keep up their sale values.

this should be vanilla

oh wow this mod is a great idea.

Well here we are again. I've recompiled this against the assemblies from the 1.5 unstable branch and it appears to be working as intended. If anyone is trying to use this on 1.5 and pawns refuse to die, that probably means Steam hasn't updated this for you. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to force Steam to download a fresh copy.

This mod is one of my favourites and really improves Rimworld for me. Thank you!

Already tested it and could tell

Installing this mid-game won't remove the taint from any previously tainted apparel. Similarly, if you remove the mod mid-game, non-tainted apparel stripped from corpses won't suddenly become tainted. The only thing this mod does is patch when the taint is applied.

Does this work mid-game? You know, already existing clothes being untainted and those onwards being well, untainted till it rots

Great mod, but I now have way too many clothes since my colonists are cannibals lol

Funny there's criticism against untainted clothing when back in ye olde days the game never had a tainted mechanic, and when it got implemented, most people hated it and mods quickly came out to remove the taint.

I still miss how the game was back then..

can be tied to the integrity of the corpse and let's say up to 95% of things from the corpse are not spoiled

@[BRE] Gaston / Zanderman You want mend & recycle for that, it can remove the tainted mark on tainted clothing as an option when mending
