Rimsential – Total Control: Continued

This is the continued version of the Rimsential – Homebound mod handed over to the community by Orpheusly and continued with their permission. The packageId has been left unchanged in an effort to ease migration however as the name has changed anything using a PatchOperationFindMod may need to update.

Bug reports and suggestions are welcome as Github issues.

Enables the complete customization of faction pawns. It’s the faction editor you deserve!

Q: Can I Make a new pawn kind instead of editing existing ones?
A: No, even if you did they wouldn’t be used. You’d need to deeply understand how to make factions to use it.

Q: Can I add an entirely new faction instead of editing existing ones?
A: No, as above, you’d have to understand so much about faction making it’d be faster to make a faction normally.

Q: Can I edit pawns that aren’t in factions like creep joiners, wild men etc?
A: Sort of, I have to add each type by hand as a fake faction. Make a github issue and I’ll do it eventually.

Q: Can I use custom Xenotypes?
A: Sort of, because of how this works use the linked Custom Xenotype Exporter Tool to export it as a real xenotype

Q: Can I ask for the ability to edit some new thing?
A: Sure, make a github issue or It’ll get lost
