try using prepare carefully, it also appears that in the screenshot that you might need dead colonists, put in those coffins in order for them to come back

I got one by rerolling randomly (start).
The other one was a prisoner rescue. (1426 year old was a dead giveaway)

i bet he was bonedry too :)

Nice pun

Maybe that means that if we raise the age to an absurd number with the Prepare Carefully mod we can get skeletons

True sounds like a smart idea but in some case it would only get pawns age with debuffs nearly instantly (know from experience aged pawns tend to be glitchy)

You only need to use the Dev menu to raise their age. To do so reliably... i suggest using an auto-clicker, freezing time, and then tossing the auto-clicker to 1 millisecond and let it rip for about... oh idk, 10 seconds? That should do it. After that, you SHOULD have a skeleton, if that's one of the ways to get one.

Age has nothing to do with it sadly, i got a pawn to over 25 thousand years of age using the DevMenu, nothing happened.

Slave Traders tend to have some... TBH all of them in my run thus far had ONE but I could be lucky... And their seems to be chances that they can come from the Escape pods too "low chance it seems" and as for raids Pfft nope nothing thus far. Hope this helps.

If you use prepare carefully you can save a character then load it to get more, you just got to roll the first one. :D

omg i really needed this suggestion :D

that is useful info.
in my games when i try a new game as a test - usually there is always a skeleton or 2, plus 1 or 2 from other mods - it is probably just a random thing, but i think there are different weightings to how often (or likely) a particular type of person will be available as a quest or trader item, so maybe some factions have weighting with this mod too?

so if a corpse gets super old does it turn into a skeleton or what

i havent seen that happen (but they can become rotten or dessicated....but there is a soylent mod for that which lets you extract a bit of food from it + genetic rim can also thankfully work with those too)
