Thank you for the update! Hard to imagine not playing with this one :)

"Stranger in Black" just has a cooler sound to it anyway.

I didn't even know it was gender locked! thank you for making this!

@Serotonin No, sorry, nothing to tweak, just gender neutrality.

jesus christ i can smell the B/O from some of these commenters lmao
anyhow, does this come with the ability to tweak the likelihood of someone in black joining?

At first I thought this was a mod for a "Creepjoiner" version of the "Man in Black" for the Anomaly DLC, but this is fun too~

I don't care about gendered terms, so I won't install the mod, but it triggers the anti-pronoun-snowflakes, which is nice enough to get it in the favourites folder, lol !

A10 WARTHOG in black when ?

unrelated to previous comments, a ''lady in white'' would be a dope concept, a cutie like that magical elf in the LOTR movie

its just

changing it to also allow women, i don't see how theres an issue

@alt4s no it doesn't, but nobody is forcing you to use the mod or make a comment on the page

does everything really have to be gender neutral?

Thanks for the update!

Has anyone tested this to see if it works in 1.4?

Huh, didn't realize Man in Black actually had a fixed gender.

Should be Man in Black, Lady in Red.

I am a bot, and am offended that this mod does not allow for androids in black.

The "normal" man in black, also gives females. I love the name change for this mod tho, makes it more realistic, at least to me. And all the toxic commentors, move on from the page. you are not forced to use this.
- Thank you for making this mod! :)

@Maddy Kane.
Heheheh the expectations subverting machine goes brrr.

Johnny Cash never came to a dying colony and, guns blazing, ever saved anyone's ass you wanking complainers.

Love his music, but this mod adds fun to the game, grow up.

Does this mod even do anything other than change the name? My last Man in Black, was a woman. I don't understand the need. When you use character editor paired with Faction blender, you can also get female colonists in Man in Black gear. It's not limited to men only, in my experience at least.

nice one pastalion!!

Isn't this JUST a mod? If you're not satisfied then why are you looking at the mod page? Why spread unnecessary hate. I'm sure EVERYONE knows the M.I.B. reference. I'd understand the reaction if the game developer Tynan did this, but this is unnecessary. Go play rimworld without this mod instead of arguing on the internet. And yes, I am a loser for typing this out in the comments, you're free to shame me.

I don't know why people got offended by this mod.
This seems to offer more randomness into the game. An offer that one may or may not take.
I don't see how it could be a wrong thing to do.

bruh.

you know that Man in black is specifically a man because of cultural reasons

besides you couldve just added in Miss fortune like how they did it in fallout new Vegas

Or...perhaps the creator of the event intended for Him...to be a...well....a HIM

ohh my god this comment section is soo toxic it adds variety a bit.

what is this cringe

cool! this mod add more randomness to gameplay. such a good mod!

mf mad at a fucking MOD

anime pfp that's all you need to know

anime pfp that's all you need to know

This does put a smile on my face.

Microaggression MOD haha.

they/them in-black next?

@Gota I can't find any references to the Man in black event in the Vanilla Achievements Expanded code, but I would imagine it would work just fine since the only thing this mod does is remove the pawnFixedGender tag and change the title of the in-game letter. If another mod references the event by its vanilla id StrangerInBlackJoin (unchanged by this mod) then I don't think there would be any problems.

I just want one with an actual Medical skill so they don't show up just in time to watch my last colonist bleed out, then get gunned down themselves because they only have a Shooting of 2.

Anything would look odd at first but we all use mods to get different looks or feels for the game, each Rimworld is our own Rimworld.

Anyone got an idea whether this plays nice with Vanilla Achievements Expanded? Since there is an achievement that is about the man in black and an event you can trigger.

@koolpin You gave me an idea for a mod, it would replace the man/ stranger in black with Santa Claus if the season is winter, sadly I am not a modder nor skilled enough to make one.

@Rocky Bukkake
Johnny Cash is not Santa Claus, and cannot be everywhere at once

Johnny Cash was a male tho.

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMALES IN MY VIDYA!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

does it really matter?

I like it. It brings variety! Thank you for sharing this!

cool i guess if you care about genders

honestly, who cares.
but still, nice mod for those that want it.

Doesn't really have the same ring as the original, tbh.

lmao It in black
