hey thats real cool Don but uh.... can you get on the operating table really quick?

Keep the title but if you want to sound fancy you should refer to this operation as a "laryngectomy" in the description. removing someone vocal cords alone will cause them to die by aspiration.

will this mod be updated to 1.1

No, it is not.

In the screenshot, the pawn with removed vocal cords also has no fertility. Is this from the vocal cord removal?

Ahhh if I put this on my prisoner they won't gang up anymore

Intresting. And thank you

@bedrockthynightwing If you still care, there's now a negative mood effect for pawns without vocal cords.

Masochistic pawns will not receive any mood change.

If you have any other ideas to fix those small annoyances, just tell me, I'll make a mod of it. =)

I can't count how many times my prisoners have started a chain reaction of chaos in the colony due to paranoid rambling. Removing their vocal cords? What a genious mod. Just brilliant. One less hassle to worry about, as long as there are other recreational activities they can perform to satisfy their needs besides social interaction.

Just noticed this mod. If it works with my collection, it will become a permanent addition. NO MORE PARANOID RAMBLING. Thank god.

Thank you

@bedrockthynightwing No, not yet, but it will be added soon.

I dream of a colony where everyone has taken a vow of silence. Now that dream will be realised.

@BillNyeTheRussianSpy
No. Vocal cords are impossible to replace.

hmmmm does it add a negative mood? or something? does it harm relation ships?

Are you considering adding a way to replace vocal cords

@Neshimi I'll do that.
It's probably going to cost plasteel + components, for that you'll get +50% talking.

That comes from RJW, which I was testing at the time.

Sorry for the off-topic post...Where does the "Fertility" in your screenshot come from? o.o;

I suppose you could maybe make a surgery that requires an Item like components to set the hediff to another value? Like, Prosthetic Larynx/vocal cord surgery cost 1 component for 60% talking and a social debuff to their aquaintances for "robot voice" (or even just the good ol' annoying voice?) and then 2 adv components for the other surgery? maybe a social buff?

I don't know, man, but I'm sure you'll figure out the best course of action. I just find myself getting excited over peoples projects.

@Neshimi Currently the vocal cords are not a body part, but I can probably make them. For now it is a simple Hediff. The operation is currently non-reversible, this is because I found no cases of a successful repair of completely cut vocal cords.

The bionic parts are a good idea, I haven't considered them yet. I'll look into it.

@Neshimi my great grandpa had to use one of those, i couldn't really understand what he was saying.

P.S. Merry Christmas!

This is a fantastic Idea! though I would also like to know about what Kirby asked. Do you get an organ item for the surgery, can the operation be reversed, and would you consider adding a Prosthetic/bionic for replacements? Especially if this part is capable of being injured in combat.

I imagine that the prostetic would be like the one in mad max or this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riHLUOXt1Aw

And bionic would be be like regular speech with some added versitility. Maybe a bonus to communicating with animals? Like they could make animal noises?

Just when you think Rimworld has reached it's low, now you aren't even going to allow prisoners to speak before harvesting their organs and turning their skin into hats.

Hell, I have a mod that turns pawns into living batteries. But taking away their ability to speak? That just feels wrong. My hat goes off to you, the rimworld gets darker with every mod.

Wow... the voiceless need to have a serious mood penalty.

This mod reminds me of I have no mouth and I must scream. Pretty neat, thanks.

no voice for the voiceless.

Since you are able to remove the vocal cords from your Colonists or Prisoners in this mod...

Can you Sell their Vocal Cord to Traders for Silver or Give it to someone else if they somehow lost their Voice?

It's DDA Security.

It's quite interesting actually. I'm also interested - what are those walls on the picture? They are not wanilla what mod do you use on them ?
