yc’s Faction Editor
Tired of tribal raiders with terrible gear?
Want to modify faction group generation logic?
Looking for a sandbox battle with modded equipment?
Need to adjust faction xenotype probabilities?
Want to spawn friendly settlements near your base?
Dreaming of creating a realistic US Marine faction?
yc’s Faction Editor makes all of this possible!
This Mod allows you to deeply customize any faction’s equipment, generation logic in real-time, and save your configurations.
- Precise Control: Not just factions, you can control down to specific pawn types.
- Group Control: Trader groups, combat groups, settlement groups… customize generation pawns and equipment as you wish, even add mechanoids and animals? Try adding them in Group settings.
- Extensive Options: Budget control, tech control, xenotype probability, health conditions, and more for deep customization.
- Real-time Preview: No need for dev commands to check modified groups, one-click real-time window preview.
- Forced Equipment: Designate specific weapons that pawns must carry.
- Material & Quality: Set weapon materials (e.g., plasteel, uranium) and quality (e.g., excellent, legendary).
- Biocoding: Set the probability of weapons being biocoded to prevent easy looting.
- Create New Factions: Build new factions based on existing templates, with support for manually adding settlements on the map.
- Modify Factions: Name, description, icon, goodwill, and more.
- Save Factions: Saved factions can be used in new saves just like **pawn presets** exported from character editors.
- Easy to Use: All operations are done in-game through a modern enhanced UI.
- Advanced Filtering: Filter items by Mod source (e.g., show only "Vanilla Expanded" series equipment), combined with tech level, damage value filters to quickly locate target gear.
- Preset Management & Sharing: Save your configurations as presets, export to share with friends, or seamlessly migrate between different saves*. (*May have bugs, currently in testing)
- Copy & Paste: Support copying configurations between different pawn types for quick batch application.
This Mod is inspired by the classic Total Control.
- If you need more comprehensive, low-level game mechanic modifications (not just equipment), we recommend subscribing to Total Control.
- Enter the game and open Mod settings.
- Find the editor button for yc’s Faction Editor.
- Select the Faction you want to modify from the left panel.
- Select the specific Pawn Type from the middle list.
- Configure Weapons, Apparel or Health Conditions in the right panel.
- Click save, and the configuration takes effect immediately (applies to newly generated units).
- Existing Saves: Can be safely added to existing saves. Configurations only affect newly generated units.
- Harmony: This Mod requires the Harmony library to run.
Q: Is it compatible with Total Control?
A: Yes.
Q: Is it compatible with CE?
A: Currently, the pawn kinds can generate weapons and ammunition properly, and all stats are working fine.
Q: Does it support Mod factions?
A: Theoretically yes.
Q: Is there a way to add new pawnkinds to a faction?
A:Due to some code limitations, it is not safe to add new pawn kind Defs directly. However, you can achieve a similar effect: Go to Faction Editor → Faction Groups → select a group (e.g., "Combat#1"), then add non-faction pawns / mechanoids / animals. Raids will be generated using the pawn pool you set here.
Q: Will this affect existing units?
A: No. Modifications only affect
units (such as newly spawned raids, reinforcements, or caravans).
Q: Can I add this mid-save?
A: No problem.
Q: What happens if I uninstall the Mod?
A: Only the Mod’s configuration data will be lost. Game saves are usually safe, may show a few red errors, but won’t affect normal gameplay.
