Before you comment about a possible bug or issue, please look at the following information:

1.) THE MOD WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING ON THE GATE OF HORN BETA BRANCH. You can access this beta branch by right clicking on CultSim in your library, going to Properties, then going to the Betas section and selecting the appropriate option. If you did this right, you should hear the custom soundtrack play when you start the run/

2.) THE MOD WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE DEPENDENCY MODS INSTALLED AND IN THE RIGHT ORDER. Your enabled mod order should go, from top/first loaded to bottom/last loaded:

• Ghirbi
  
• Roost
  
• Contemnant
  
• Proterant
  
• Obdurant

3.) You should also ensure you are using the most up to date version of each mod; unsubbing and resubbing to each mod should be the easiest way to guarantee that if you suspect something isn't updated.

UNIQUE MECHANICS
Contemnant also takes away several tools available to players in Obdurant/Proterant, but offers several alternative tools/methods to help mitigate those weaknesses.

1.) Provision events now need you to supply an Ally or your lore in order to actually acquire Provisions, and there is a chance to fail at this rather than automatically receive like in Obdurant Proterant. However, enemy, ally, and neutral corpses can all be put into the Relinquish verb to be turned into Provisions. This has a 45% to produce infamy, and 25% chance to make Refugee allies leave your service. Eating Unnatural Corpses from Otherworldly enemies produces 2 Provisions, and does not cause Refugee allies to try and leave you. Scouting in the Ruined Country also has a chance to reveal a Farm you can raid for supplies (this happens once per trip through the Ruined Country).

2.) You cannot ask for reinforcements when at a Warzone. However, placing the Ruined Country card in Communicate will let you draw a random group of Refugees and/or Deserters you can recruit. This can be done once per trip through the Ruined Country, including at the very start before you reach the first Warzone. You can also give Provisions to neutral Soviet units at your Warzone to recruit them temporarily, but remember that they will turn on you if you have 3 or more Infamy.

3.) Refugee units do not have very high aspects. However, you can hide your Allies by putting them into the Communicate with Sewers, Ruins, Woods, or Night. This will make them untargetable by Enemy attacks (except for the Edge Long) and give them a large boost to their aspects - useful if you're having trouble meeting the gap on an enemy with higher thresholds. Dreg Soldiers, Arsonists, and Scavengers can also be hidden this way. However, if a Hidden Ally is used, exhausted by some means, or injured, they will lose Hidden status.

4.) You can find useful items like Armour-Piercing Munitions, Explosives, and Flares by looting fallen Enemies and Neutrals. Place an Ally into Communicate with a corpse and you will be able to loot it. Sometimes this produces nothing.
