Vanilla Psycasts Expanded powers getting wiped upon retrieval of kidnapped pawns.
Making a thread as requested for reporting an issue.

-I am running 1.5. This issue started occurring after the update and was working well before then.
-I am using the Anomaly DLC.
-This occurs after a pawn has been kidnapped by a raiding faction and returns via the reunion quest. Whenever I see that they are about to be kidnapped, I allow it to play out fairly but use Character Editor to assign them the ally tag before they are taken so that they will return back to me at some point between 5-15 in-game days.

When they eventually do return (usually via 'entered the map', I do have the other quest types allowed drop pod, raider camp etc. but so far this is the most frequent one I receive) they are 100% healed but also have no psycasting abilities. It's as if they've been regenerated as a whole new pawn with the same characteristics but their health bill is wiped.

-From what I can tell, it is Reunion since I get the [Reunion] letter and can instigate it through dev mode.

If there's anything I can do to fix it then that's great but for now I've just been keeping a careful note of the state my pawns are in before they're captured or taken off the map and try to re-apply it manually whenever they come back as a work around. Thanks for your time and reply, and for this great mod!

I have an idea what's going on, my 1.5 update introduced removal of temporary hediffs on getting lost to heal up any injuries when you meet them again but that seems to have introduced a different issue, which is what happened to you.

Currently it checks that the hediff is:
- not permanent
- not chronic
- not a missing part
- does not cause a Need (e.g. drug addictions)
- is not an implant

If it fulfills the above condition it will be removed.

So it seems like the psycast hediffs are removed as well since they are none of the above (I guess it is coded to be non-permanent?). It will take some time for me to identify what makes a psycast hediff (if you know someone who knows that'd be great).

But in any case I can't work on this at the moment so you will have to live with it for now. :(

I know it's painful to lose progress due to a bug but you can headcanon it as being experimented on by enemy raiders. Rimworld is a story generator after all :steamhappy:

And also you have to treat kidnapping as a serious threat now (and not a short holiday for the pawn). :steammocking:

ALSO:
Kidnapping will NOT bring a pawn back via Reunion quests but I guess you already know that since you modify them with the traits as they are getting kidnapped. If you don't already know that, now you do. You can let them get kidnapped and there is a high chance they will contact you again to rescue them (this is part of the vanilla game so I suppose you will get them back without bugs caused by Reunion). There is also a low chance that they are gone forever so there is that... If you use "optimization" mods that clean up "unused" pawns, there is a high chance of losing them, so be careful of that.
