is the cool-down timer based on prisoners being close to each other? or a world spanning thing after speaking to any prisoner

Cant recruit screamer the false with the skeleton tech line (makes it look like you can but it wont work)

Question! Does it HAVE to be a prisoner cage made from the player, or can the PC talk to anyone in a cage? I turned in the Dust King to the Squin police, and I was planning on recruiting him, but I don't see any options to talk to him. I could've sworn I was able to recruit Tora The Fearless before, and I also turned her in to the Squin Police

Hi, it's possible ti use this mod with Living WORLD ?

@Nanogiraffe is it save to remove the mod in an ongoing save without the need to starting a new game?

@Seiver actually this mod doesn't need a new save or import as it only affects dialogue. An import is only needed when a mod adds 'something physical' to the world like an item or place or a new npc
@Chuckles are you using mods that change NPCs? Do they talk to you? Did you disarm them?

Did you start a new file?

Cannot recruit anyone

TRASH USELESS MOD

@Nanogiraffe I was thinking it could be that as you said in your mod notes above but was wondering if it was due to hunger. Playing with a couple mods that limit my faction and dont allow me to recruit unique NPCs so this is a great mod to include for this run. Thanks for the reply and for the great mod!!!

@Roughtymes - it shouldn't affect that. Are you using mods? it may be that they are a modded version of one of the NPC
@Asraiel - this seems to be a common problem - the general fix is save/load or import
@MiraMi - Me alegro que lo disfrutes.

Como todo buen Habitante del desolado Yermo, poder reclutar prisioneros es de mis actividades favoritas

Recruited prisoners don't seem to be eating automatically when assigned to jobs. I recruited two starving bandits and ironically both insisted on continuing to starve...
Do I need to feed all recruited prisoners manually?

Does hunger affect the ability to recruit? I have a couple from Holy Nation Outlaw faction that have no option to talk to them. I know I recruited another Holy Nation Outlaw unit before but I think it was another unit type.

Yes, it should be possible but the chance is 2 30% ( may be higher - i think i increased it) in a row. if you use the right recruiter and choices, so a 9% chance ( i think...)

Is it actually possible to recruit HN paladins? I've tried 20+ times to recruit them but it never succeeds.

@Arak Rebirth's recruitment has always been random. I once only managed to recruit 2 people there when I first tried that start ages ago.

how do i recruit holy nation paladins and other soldiers? they wont crack no matter what options i pick

this problem may not be with this mod, but everytime i started at Rebirth i could recrute 10-all slaves there, but now im having a issue, the few i can talk too deny joining and im delayed to talk to anyone else... anyone having this problem?

I hope one day I can recruit Savant

cannibal hunters cant be recruited i think

I made a skeleton only save, anti slavers to destroy UC, HN and any form of slavery, most skeletons I found (error 0xffffff, screamer, ponk, ashland skeletons etc, HN robots) worked well however, when I finally saw a P4 Unit at a bar I was overjoyed to get my hands on the very rare vanilla P4 generic recruit.
Then, I clicked on it and... no dialogue. It was a TRAP! It was just a flavour npc from the drifters faction.
So I abducted the offending P4 unit and brought it home. However, and this is what I don't understand, I stripped it bare, put it in a prison of mine and I get no option to talk to it. I have Ponk recruited so it's not a P4 only issue but I can't figure out what is wrong.
Any ideas?

Downvote this useless junk

FOG MAN, Qué horrendo que suena neblino así, en español.

Neblino

Este mod incluye razas elegibles, dos canibales y algunos neblinos...

Something I just found out, which feels absurd and MIGHT be coincidence: I tried soooo often to recruit someone by clicking dialogue with the mouse... never worked... done it with keyboard promts now, worked 3 times in a row... either that is the most odd luck, or there is something to it. Maybe it helps someone else.

Very buggy most of the time. I take away equipment, put in the cage, and get 1 of 3 outcomes. A thousand yard stare with no talk option, pops up only once to never return after a week, or around 1% of the time it works every time. One game I can recruit 6 berserkers over the course of a month before it breaks. Another game can give 4 sand ninjas in a single day until breaking. Other times, like my current game, it will work once and then shit the bed.

Tested on a group of empire peasants after wasting an entire week and not getting a single bite. Made a line of 8 cages and topped hunger off to see how long it would take. First one was fine with no issues (prince), but the option didn't pop up for any of the others after 5 days of waiting and most dying from starvation. Reloading, picking up and setting into new cage, freeing then attacking just to put back in, exiting the game, resetting computer, importing save and having to grab new labrats to try the same thing again. Nothing.

I want to know something. I caught a Skeleton Bamid to join my team, but I've been trying to convince a skeleton for days and nothing's happening. Any suggestions? Or can't they really be recruited?

quiero saber algo, atrape a un bamdido esquerleto para unirlo a mi equipo, pero llevo dias con un esqueleto intentando comvenerlo y no pasa nada, sugerenias?
o realmente no se pueden reclutar?

is this mod still active? or at the very least does it work well?

I found an interaction with another mod. I turned off the 256 squad limit because I didn't have large squads. This mod would go through the dialog and then not work. It usually didn't even say why except one single time it said my squad was already full. This mod started working again when I re-enabled the 256 mod. Hope that helps someone.

When talking to prisoners in cages, the dialog is random nonsense EXAMPLE: " , . ! , / ? , " all of it looks like that

Круто

lol i haven't played in forever started a game. Needles and Biggie got knocked out by dianium theives, I ran stuck em on a spike. Just started the game and now I have 2 60+ stats characters lol. not even fun have to restart

Are characters recruited by players considered 'dead/kidnapped' in the world?
For example, would recruiting Phoenix lead to changes in Blister Hill?

@Dilda
yes you can and its: common english
then: 1 3 2 1 4 4 1 2 3 1 1 4

Why when recruiting: "Error codes 0xFFFFFF", at the moment when the skeleton * shudders*, all the wrong combinations of words come out (I wrote the right words separately and the wrong ones.) always, that is, these bastards can not be recruited.
(I spent 2 hours on this shit)
And so the question is:
Is this a mistake?
Or is it a joke?

I haven't back to Kenshi for a few years, but the mod was working then. It doesn't work in 2025. Dang shame! It was a good one.

anyone struggling to recruit drones, for me it worked when i stripped them of all their possession

Really cool mod. Coming back to Kenshi again after years and it's amazing to see this thing still up and running.

i have tech level 6 and takling to tinfist using screamer, but still cant recruit him. when i pick option 1 it just kicks me out of dialogue

I tried to recruit the samurai elite from the attack event, but I couldn't even talk to them

Is valamon ever going to be recruitable?

worker drones must be loyal like that lol

cant seem to recruit worker drone keeps saying they work for the queen

This mod for whatever reasons makes it where you can use the training dummies from the shinobi thieve tower in the Hub in my modlist. I dont really understand why.

why can I recruit all the ashland dome characters besides HAT-12?

General Hat-12 isn't recruitable?

Damn, dude. that puzzle on skeleton recruitment!
fuckin' loved it! felt an amazing "Aha!" moment when i figured it out!

Are Fogmen recruitable wif dis here mod?
