so anyone here can recruit a fog praetorian ?

I've now tried each dialogue option over 85 times. I give up.

I've tried each dialogue option for fog praetorian 10 times. What am I doing wrong.

Recruitment is very random. It can be frustrating, but even the correct path only has a small-ish chance of success. You're also only allowed to try so often. You'll need to refer to Recruitable Prisoners to see what the correct dialogue path is and how often you are allowed to attempt it (usually every few in-game hours).

So the fog praetorian keeps spitting at my feet and stealing my money when I try to go "wree wree" at him. Is this a bug or am I missing somehting? I have both required mods

Sorry for not coming back, reloading the game did the trick, thanks for the awesome mod

Recruitment sometimes does weird stuff (like your turret gunners still shooting at the recruits), try save and reload, that usually fixes the weird behavior.

Is it normal for them to not take food from containers?

If they're not unique, they have recruitment dialog. If by "the general" you mean Eyegore, I *think* Recruitable Prisoners already had that set up.

What about shock-troopers and special hivers like the general?

Its working! great mod mate

Go hang in the Hub, or someplace even further away. Have none of your characters near that region.

Shouldn't need to, but I recommend leaving the fog islands for a few in game days, to refresh the spawns. Praetorians are rare. I didn't change their spawn rates at all, only added the correct dialogue package from Recruitable Prisoners.

did i need to make a new save?

You're welcome! I made the mod when I was doing a Hiver run myself and ended up collecting a set of 6; 2 Fog, 2 Western, and 2 Southern Praetorians. My Queen was *very* protected XD

I'm doing a Fog-queen run with the mod that lets you play as a fog queen, and i just found one of these things kicking the shit out of some flotsam ninjas outside my base.

I would like to say thank you for making this beautiful mod that let me recruit it. Fog queen's got herself a new royal guard today. didn't even know these things existed until now.

Good to know though, I'll incorporate this in my current save when I do my mod clean up and import and remove acid rain fix

It shouldn't

Nice! Did they setup Deadhive sub-races to be proper? Like making them immune to acid adjusting the hunger rates to be like the other Hiver sub-races? This mod still does that.

Recruitable prisoners working for me on Praetorians without this patch

Awesome, glad to hear it :)

Sorry, should have worded it better. Yes, it worked without Hives expanded

It worked? Or it required Hives Expanded?
In cases like this, you can ignore the launcher telling you there are missing dependencies, it only checks the *name* of the mod. UWE merged the contents of HE, so it should have all the records that this mod requires.

surprisingly, it actually did

Probably not? Give it a try and find out ;)

might be dumb and i'm kinda new to workshop modding, but do i need hive expanded if it's already included in UWE?

No problem, good luck!

alrighty, great mod and many thanks for your aid

Nothing off the top of my head, but you can try asking for help in the Kenshi modding discord.
Praetorians are a rare spawn. In my last hiver game it took a *long* time to find even one. I ran around the entirety of the Fog Islands multiple times.

They usually spawn as part of a Fog Prince squad, and those are always moving. So it's possible you've just been very unlucky and keep missing them. It can also help to make sure you are nowhere near the Fog Islands for a couple of in-game days. Like, take a vacation in Shem or something.

alright, any way i can check spawns to see if there's an issue?

Maybe. Just make sure that this mod is below both Hives Expanded *and* Recruitable Prisoners - with dialogue

i do, and after some tweaking in the mod list they finally existed, but nstill don't spawn, i think it's a spawnpoint issue, maybe it requires a new save

You need the Hives Expanded mod.

the deadhive praetorian doesn't exist im my saves for some reason, i tried a deadhive praetorian start and he wasn't even there, replaced by a deadhive prince, i have mist horrors and fog hounds for fog related mods, any help?

you can make it possible to recruit the queen

For me at least, praetorian fogman talking only with Hivers, but it works!

Cheers man! I just spent an hour tracking down and capturing a Fog Praetorian alive (no mean feat lol) and realized he didn't have any dialogue options in RP.

The Fog Praetorians are rare and the West and South Praetorians only exist as the Queen's bodyguards.

Wish I could at least find a praetorian. Lol

I don't know, I might need to update the mod. I'll take a look at it sometime soonish.

i got a southern praetorian in a cage and killed the queen, whenever i talk to them they just say something like "nooo i wont leave my hive." How do i recruit them?

You're welcome :D

Glad you're enjoying it!

Thank you very much for this mod, because I needed it when I wanted to recruit a praetorian for myself, but I didn't have this mod, but now I added it to myself Thank you very much again

Haha, great, was coming to ask the same question. :D Thanks.

@NixinOmnia many thanks. Also thanks @Tumor for a much needed mod!

Its worth noting that the launcher will flag it as missing a dependency but it works anyway.

@Tumor Can confirm this works with Hive Expanded via Genesis integration. I now have 4 very stout Praetorian Droneguard recruits thanks to your patch.

Hmm, maybe, maybe not. It's worth trying for sure.
Alternatively you could ask the Genesis mod team to incorporate this mod, which they are free to do.

will this work with the most recent genesis modpack?

make sure you've put recruitable prisoners and hives expanded higher up on the mod list than this mod.
