hrm, are you suggest subjecting prisoners to the trials, and then when they manage to reach the Elders stage, recruiting them?

In theory, this would work perfectly well. Recruiting the prisoner isnt impacted by the prisoners social I dont think. (could be wrong, but im sure its all colonist side)

In practise, let me know how many of your colonists they knock out with their bare hands.... :D

Precisely!

I wonder if the story-telling engine would see a difference between prisoners who died during the trials, and perhaps someone who was recruited before the last of their trials and died after becoming an official colonist.

I'm impressed by how fast how many mods are updating to 1.0.

For an unrelated matter, would you happen to be able to point me to any interesting resources on nuclear energy?
