Can you get the special passions on a child pawn during growth moments?

Huh... I didn't even know Crafting Yield was a stat that existed.

PRobably not compatible with mad skillz right? :D

No idea, you should ask whoever is managing Cherry Picker now

is there a reason why some of the passions don't show up on cherry picker? same story for expertises. I do want to filter them but I can't. they are too stacked with VE Skills and some of them don't work with my mods anyway

Weapon/Apparel Dealing expertise (modifies weapon/apparel selling price)

Trapper expertise (modifies damage for traps built)

Sanity expertise (Vanilla Insanity Expanded)

Every weapon

how does the firestarter exactly work, does it work with every weapon or do you need incendiary weapon for it to work?

can you make those extremely rare? or include options to make them appear less often

2/2
Additionally, as a separate balance question. I'm not sure how often you expect a pawn to naturally generate with more than one synergistic/critical/obsessive passion. Currently they seem to be multiplicative with each other. so a synergistic and an obsessive passion result in 1.1*.9 = .99 final modifier for other skills. or critical + synergistic give 0.275 for skills other than the critical or synergistic. Would it be possible to have an option to have these combinations for "other skills effects" calculated additively, before being applied multiplicatively against the rest of the modifiers?

Regarding the "synergistic" passion. Initially it looked like multiple synergistic passions from two+ skills can impact a third skill skill (expected), but only if that third skill has no passion itself (unexpected), even other synergistic passions.

After diving in a bit, it looks like the "impacting other skills" behavior you implemented is tied to the same "Critical affects passions" toggle from VSE. I'm guessing the same also goes for "obsessive" passions

Is there any plan to later separate the configuration, such that "synergistic", "dedicated", and "critical" can individually be toggled to affect other skills with a passion? 1/2

does the dedicated and obsessive passion have any other effect other than just bonus learning?
if not that would be neat otherwise the dedicated one seems indifferent form vanilla

Is it possible to disable the Passions but keep the Expertises?

Man, what can i say?

There is a problem with VE Androids: When a Android gets awakenend, you can choose there Traits normally with a little flame. With this very nice Mod it is always a vengful Trait. Does anybody hav an idea how to fix this?

No, increases output, as long as the recipe produces more than 1. Bricks, yes. Weapons, no.

How does crafting yield work? Do they bring less materials to the bench?

Do you have any further plan to make it co-work with Biotech Children Growth's Passion upgrading method better? Appreciated if there is one.

thanks

First thing

so how does firestarter work? does it make it so any melee has a chance to set them on fire? or does it just make the chance of the melees that already do that higher?

I don't think there is. The component issue should be fixed now, though

Is their a debug command to removed a expertise ?

salvaging is giving me Advanced Components. The skill says components not Adv. It seems to happen alot ..

I assume that this is A bug / Broken ...

Thanks for making these, they're pretty cool!

Any chance for a romance related one? Like when a pawn gets a new lover or gets married, there's a chance for them to gain a temporary passion for a skill their partner has a passion for?

Not a modder, so no idea if that's possible or if it'd be easy or a pain to implement, but it'd be a nice touch.

Ok, then while i am at it.
I dont know if it would be feedback for this mod or Skills expanded itself:

I am not a fan of getting critical passions from growth moments.
It feels very one-dimensional. Making pawns into one-trick ponies.

Ironicaly this is especialy true for pawns born with several Skill genes,
especialy especialy if they manage to get max Gmoments,
making them far less useful than they should be.

Ive had several children now that HAD to take one or more critical passions
because everything else was already taken.

And while i could turn of the penalty for learning from criticals
that in turn has other issues, like making "Great memory" a joke.

Turning off "multiple critical passions" does not change any of this.
Children with criticals can still get more during growth.

Thanks, it's rare to receive valid balance concerns, the are appreciated

The Endurance specialty for melee need another look.
Its waaay to strong for something that can be gained this quickly.
Is basicaly another tough trait for every melee fighter.

It ought to be turned into a multipler first and
likely also nerfed to 4 or even 3% per level, not 5.

a welcome variëty in pawn interests, with toggle-able settings! You spoil me sarg. I'll take 50.

I didn't realize those were editable trom VE Skills menu. Thanks for the heads up!

I did set the chance for all passions from this mod to 0 but i still had
a pawn (out of about 40) turn up with several. No error messages but im also using
a pretty large modlist (317). If i get more information i will come back to this.

Its possible i fixed this myself since i had to remove a bit of pawn spawn code,
it didnt want to cooperate with too many other mods.

Or just use mod options for VE Skills

maybe you can use character editor to remove and replace the drunken passion whenever it shows up?

I really like the mod, but it would be great if there were some settings that would let me disable individual passions from the game. For example, I don't really like the drunken one, but all others are great.

W haiku

@deadmanreaper thanks, though very annoying to use a slider for fine numbers

@sworx mod options - Vanilla Skills Expanded has sliders for all the passions, just put to zero to disable its spawn chance.

can you turn off/disable certain passions?

Question about Panning/Salvaging, is the extra drop chance referring to mining gold/components, or is it mining in general?

@Sarg Bjornson yes my good sir, that would be indubitably well suited within many a playthrough, good day kind sir.

Nah, the explosion is better

sarg is always working

Make the pawn lose a random bodypart instead.
Weighted the same as bodypart coverage.

Next update: an expertise that gives huge bonuses but the pawn explodes if he eats without a table

I liked that haiku! Here is one:

Bloat makes Rimworld great
Disagreement is okay
Optional downloads

Some of those passions are real freaky. Happy you weren't cruel enough to make them provide a malus on learning outside regular conditions.

My bad, I had it active since yesterday.

@StockSounds : That was fixed, your mod is outdated

can they change throughout colonist life? how does it work with children growth moments?

DeadmanReaper's idea is great, that should be one of the new things implemented.
