A bug I have found is that after putting my potential recruit into a cage I don't get a dialogue option again, I have found a work around by saving and reloading, but i'm going to tinker with this a bit more to see if it's a bug on my side or not.

what about the captains that the south hive sends when you steal the queen?

Can you give me the name of the units? All units added by the mod SHOULD be recruitable, but I can double check for you if you want.

I seem unable to get the western hive praetorian to give any dialouge. The pawn is called "Royal Praetorian".

There's definitely something buggy going on with the Praetorians, I've held a Fog Praetorian prisoner for 25 in-game days now, checked everyday at least twice but never once did an option to talk pop up. Furthermore if you beat them up and put them in a cage, they don't give you an option to provide first aid for them, you have to take them out and do it outside, which feels related, both options are missing while they're caged.

Okay so, no it has nothing to do with my mod, my mod simply adds the dialogue packages to the races. As evidence I have attached the actual dialogue packages being inside both the Fog Praetorian and the Royal Praetorian

of course if there was something that I could do to help I would, if you want I can turn the chance for the speech to appear to 100% if that would help, but the lack of it spawning has nothing to do with my side.

I've been off kenshi for a little, but if you'd like I can hop back on and see if that problem is still around. I'll get on and start some games, try testing that specifically and see what happens. It may have been unique to that save file, who knows.

Wait actually I looked at the save and I remembered that after a really long time it finally gave me speech and I was able to recruit the one western praetorian.

For the record, I have not had issues with any other variant of praetorian, and there was only one western praetorian in that save (idk if that's normal, but it just so happened to only be one), so I wouldn't have a way of knowing if that was a one-off problem with that specific praetorian without further testing.

The only pawn from hives expanded that I have consistently 100% of the time had issues with was the South Hive Ronins. I remember that it never gave me the option, no matter how many I captured or what I did with them. THAT I was able to extensively test, as I wanted one to make into a thief. Did anyone else ever report that issue? Last I checked in with this mod was in January when I made my original reply.

lol great name btw, I haven't heard about the issue with South Hive Ronins but I can def take a look, most of the issue I have been getting reports about are the low spawning ones, like the robots (very specific dialogue path that you had to take) or some of the generals (which have like a 5% chance of spawning the chat at the time)

hey im not able to recruit cannibal tenderisers or cannibal punishers
