[RETIRED] NPC Custom Faction Fixer

Description
Update

As of the recent Minor Update 1.187.1, the faction bug has been resolved. As a result, this mod is no longer required!

Description

After update 1.187, custom NPC factions are not created properly. This mod adds those factions back to your game. Can be used in conjunction with any mod that uses custom NPC factions.

This mod is only a temporary fix until NPC factions are fixed on the game's end of things.

Not what I've observed. New worlds are creating all the factions properly, and as long as you have the required mods/settings loaded, ships will appear with the proper faction.

If using a mod that requires NPC Programming Extender, make sure in-game scripts are enabled too.

It looks like the problem is back after the Survival Update. Ships show as Sprt.Faction.Name again.

Still custom NPC factions dont get created tho, I can only see space pirates on my list.

@Tontow- It's no longer being updated, since the issue it was designed to fix has been resolved by the devs. Should the issue come back, then I would remove the tag.

If this is still working and being updated, then maby remove the "[RETIRED]" bit from the name?

++ Great appreciation for your work. You've added unexpected behavior (this is good), elevated aggression (even better), to encounters. It's been far too easy for to long to just sit outside of .sprt engagement range, disable their defenses, then just fly up, lock on, and take a mostly intact encounter home. Corruption and Reavers... harassing, pursuing, or sniping at me.. basically turning the table on tactics I once employed? Respect deservedly given. Yeah, some of them just creep me out and I like that. Thank you! :2016trophy: :steamhappy:

I'm aware of the bug. I have it fixed on a local build I plan to upload today or tomorrow

@[GMRC] Carnaxus what Cargoship mods of his are you using ?

The custom faction(s) for your mod(s) appear to not be working even with your fix mod installed. All the ships and stations spawn as part of the pirate faction, and the server log says something about not being able to find the requested faction.

I posted the first question on your Planetary Cargo Ships mod as well; answer wherever you go first, I don't need nor expect you to waste your time answering me twice.
