Would it be possible to create ways for the leader/people with positions to try to change the duration of their terms in-game? I mean, I know the settings allow me to determine the duration, but would be fun if there was an in-game way to "call for a new vote" if a lot of people are unsatisfied or for the leaders to "push" the next elections (granting themselves more time), which might make some people unhappy as well, and so on. Anyway, just a few ideas - love the mod!

right on thx

@II JAR II Updating all my mods, see discord for progress

plans for a 1.6 update?

you probably wanna disable this early game because some ideo roles can sometimes disable important jobs

I like this, and I even like the challenge of having a potentially corrupt or untrustworthy pawn deciding who gets which role, but I'm not so sure about how well this would go with any non-democratic ideals. It doesn't seem to have anything to disable it for the god emperor types, but I didn't exactly check.

@kongkim my recollection is that it doesn't like to elect the same leader to consecutive terms. So if there isn't anybody who is suitable to the leader role, it gets weird about it. (just realizing that was a loooong time ago...)

Is there a way to force an election to happen?

Is it normal for the candidate letter and role election to show up more than once? I've gotten both the leader letter and the role election letter twice before the 60 days were up. I didn't mess with the mod settings or anything.

@Mlie i tried play ahead without giving the "Winner" the role via the dev. The a new election was hold some days after and a whole new pawn was selected.. So don't know, seem wired :)

@kongkim Not sure but the new leader might get their new role in a cermony later.

So i got a bug, when they elected a new leader after 60 days.
The old one loss the leader role, and the election say a new one have been found, but the role is never given to the pawn. Only way i can do its by the dev mod.

I'm also having the below error twice now. Weird, because the first election worked fine.

For some reason, every election fails "because candidates disappeared" and log shows nothing about it. Really strange but I remember seeing comments about it on the older version's page.

@Mlie sounds good, is it long aways :D? want to start a new game with it :P

@kongkim Its on the todolist

@Mlie The exclution of androids, was it something you would look into? Or is it a no go :)?

@Mlie Yah thats right, but the 2nd type is self-thinking / Awaken so that would make sense they can vote.
Can you exclude on a gene or something, don't know. :S

@kongkim Well, their race is still human. They just have a gene. Also, there are two types of androids it seems.

@Mlie The mod add a new "Gene" menu for androids only, were you can choose what they can do. So a basic can nothing but you can get them to do all.
The problem is that my first Android got given a role and not the other humans.
Would really like them to not be a part of the vote.
So exclude them on race?

@kongkim Not sure, dont know what it should exclude them on. Are they incapable of anything?

Hi @Mlie

If i use this together with Vanilla Races Expanded - Android, they also vote, are there a way to make an option so you can disable that?

@Zeleskinator You dont, they do this themselves. See description for info on when it happens.

How do I force an election? I loaded it in mid-run and idk how to start the actual election

Hello, is there anyway I can prevent mindless droids from voting?
It's fine if those are intellectual droids, but it's kinda weird when the soulless worker droids all vote...

this is really cool. yayo's ideas are awesome. I might try this next run since right now I am doing royalty and I am a dictator : D

Okay, So I moved the mod to the highest I could in my load order and now I had a Note pop up with election candidates... so I guess that fixed it.

@Mlie Yes I have, I did the first election, nothing happened, I waited for the ritual's cooldown which was like 20 something days, tried it again, and still nothing.

I have never seen anything like what the screen shot above shows. No window with results have popped up like that.

@KomradeKD And you have waited 2 days?

@Mlie No leader is being elected tho. The ritual completes and nothing happens

@KomradeKD From the description: ” Two days after a leader is elected”

So I have a question, and maybe I am doing something wrong, but I did an election ritual and the votes were taken and counted and then... nothing. Everyone just went back to what they were doing, no indication of who won or anything. Not sure what's going on, any insight would be appreciated.

Apologies for not updating, the breaking was due to this mod REALLY not liking dev mode being enabled. Disabling that fixes it immediately.

@Nova:
Please try the steps described under "Reporting Issues" above

It breaks the social menu. I dunno why, but it makes my colonists social menu completely blank. Not sure if compatibility issue, but I know it's this one, as the issue disappears after uninstalling just this mod.

Sooo sweet :D

Eww... Democracy...

bless you
