Great mod, also noted that you no longer can invite sibblings, but I think this is a change in the game? Sibling visited, I wait for them to leave but there is no option on console. However checking with Charachter editor the game do no seem to save these pawn anymore, they are created to walk into the map, walk of and get deleted?

Seems to be not working anymore. Example: caravan shows up with a colonist's sister, caravan leaves, trying to invite her, she doesn't show up in the list.

Did the problem with not actually having the ability to invite family members ever get fixed?

Apologies, I was using RimSort all this time without looking at Rimworld's modlist menu, and RimSort was showing dependency for HugsLib while set for 1.6 RW folder. Checked Rimworld menu for mods and it doesn't alert of the missing dependency there. Turns out the issue is only on the RimSort side

Zibrolta16 - that's how it's supposed to be, modDependencies is only used for older versions (that don't know about modDependenciesByVersion, or that are not specified in it), the empty list in modDependenciesByVersion for 1.6 overrides the non-versioned tag and tells the game it has no dependencies.

I've checked the mod's file and the about.xml has HugsLib listed in the modDependencies list, ther modDependenciesByVersion only have Harmony seperately listed for 1.4 and 1.5, while 1.6 is also included there but having no mods listed.

Zibrolta16 - there shouldn't be any dependencies in 1.6, the mod uses modDependenciesByVersion to specify an empty list for that version

Could you please edit the about.xml of this mod so it properly shows dependencies for 1.6 because as of now it still shows the requirement for HugsLib on 1.6

Thank you so much!!!

Updated to 1.6 and added an option to allow inviting "Left behind" colonists

please fix this mod, its my favorite!!

5th... no option in the comms to invite family members

To test started a new game with only Core, Royalty, Ideology, Biotech, Harmony, and Long Distance, crashlanded start, 2 colonists have relations (lover for one, a daughter for the other) with pawns that were left behind on character selection, and god mode in a comms console and some power and no option appears to invite either character.

Tried disabling all DLC so just Core, Harmony and LD, same thing.

4th. I love the idea of this mod but sadly I'm not seeing any options in the comms console to invite people. I've even tried calling the faction they're in (lover of one of my colonists) thinking it might be an option from there, but no dice.

Third... there is no option to invite the fiance of my pawn. There just isn't an option to even talk about it.

Seconding what Dewitt said, I can't actually invite anyone because it's not showing up

Communications console does not show invitees.can you save me? my hero

@hex thats a dope idea, go find your spouse/parent and maybe do a quest that spawns near them so the faction leader isnt unhappy that you're stealing one of their members and raids your caravan/base in retaliation.

@fox210121 thre's already a russian translation - https://github.com/bdew-rw/LongDistance/blob/master/Mods/LongDistance/Languages/Russian/Keyed/LongDistance.xml

If you want to update it - feel free to open a PR on github.

Если русский перевод появится добавите в мод ?

Thank you so much. This is just what I'm looking for

I am not kidding. I find this mod mandatory for the game. the drama added by such a simple mod is incredible. imagine hearing your wife survived the spaceliner crash but due to orbital trajectory is on the other side of the continent. you tell her you have friends where you are and its safe. so she embarks on an epic quest to cross the rim to join your colony. I think it would be rad if you could actually go on a quest yourself to go pick them up via shuttle, or caravan. but still this is amazing and the only way to actually have families in your colony.

Thank you very much for making such an excellent mod. I am really afraid that my precious daughter will be deceived by bad people.....

@General Vladislav that's a base game issue. The game loves generating absurd amounts of family relationships even with new pawns.

@General Vladislav: Mother probably spent a lot more time in cryosleep than her daughter ;)
Also, isn't that part of the base game's pawn generation?

Almost work, but doesn't seems to take age into account. Mother, 19y, invite her daughter 41y to join..

Randomly stumbled across this mod, looks awesome!

@shortbear might be worth looking at mods you use that help speed up the game / reduce lag. From memory there was at least one that would delete world pawns as they can contribute a fair bit of lag to a game.

I did not know this mod even existed as I was searching for something completely different and this is an awesome gem of a find. Insta sub

I would normally have picked that as the issue but this is really consistent. like, almost no world pawns remain at all after a bit. I have a suspicion that it's vanilla social interactions expanded so i'm going to try my next run without it and see if anything changes.

@ShortBear Sometimes, but, I always contributed to "background noise". I use Dynamic Diplomacy often, so I figure, people just getting killed in random conflicts, heh.

Anyone had a longtime issue with world pawns just vanishing off of the socials list and being unable to be found? I don't think it's an issue with this mod but i see no errors during the sessions when it happens and it pretty well interferes with everything this mod is about. Happens without optimizer mods like rocketman or runtimeGC but I do have several other mods, just unable to diagnose what could be causing it.

Thank you for updating :) I like this mod

Similar issue, occasionally colonists arrive and hovering over the 'colonists en route' just remains blank, no information given, and colonists are listed as missing.

Getting the same exact error as Cranu mentioned, except the invited colonist never arrived and has disappeared from the game entirely.

Oh god, don't use any polygamist ideoligions with this unless you want massive lists, especially if you use hospitality. I regret the ideoligion, mood bonus might not be worth the chaos (not just this mod).

Doesn't seem to work, even when near the top of the load order.

Quick question, probably noob-ish, sorry. Is it better to try to put this mod near the top or the bottom of the load order? I use a lot of mods and sometimes my colony doesn't get the option to contact via comms console even when I KNOW there are pawns with relationships in other factions.

Hey, I have a problem with the mod since a while. Doesnt happen always, just sometimes... I try to invite people and than it shows "colonists enroute" but when I go over it with my cursor it shows me stuff from above message, not from the colonist. And the colonists doesnt arrive. Last time it happened they still came in the normal period of time, buuut this time nothing. :( And I miss my RImWorldgrandparents so much. :(

Anyone else have a problem where when you invite a pawn when the reach your colony it spams the XYZ joins on the screen? I had another member join before this one and it worked fine? my colony had 4 invites sent, 2 already showed up fine and the 3rd bugs the game with notification spam.

I can send full logs if it would help but this seems to be the main error to me.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Thank you for a mod I needed since I played my first vanilla run! :) Had a colonist that insisted on staying faithfull to her pre crush boyfrend she never so again... Boring. And a second tank you for updating it so fast! :) Great mod! :)

I would love this to have a chance of a quest with the pawn in question as a reward. And some dialogue. "Oh my god you are still alive! Of course I will join you. I will be there as soon as I can!" or "I am glad you are OK but I am afraid I can't join you at this time. My community needs me. You know.. you are welcome to join me here instead. I am sure you will find a nice home here."(+relationship with faction+favor points) or "I am so happy to hear from you. I wish I could come to you but my chieftain would be really angry. We currently have a problem with insectoids surrounding our base here and they need every able hand. If you can help us with this I am sure I will be able to join you. Hurry though. Time is of the essence. I love you." *click*

Oh man! do it!

We'll see when the expansion actually comes out and i had a chance to play with it and look at the code.

@bdew Do you plan to add ideals differences into the calculation of success?

Uploaded a preliminary update for 1.3

If you are testing this version you might need this unofficial update of HugsLib until the official mod is updated: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2537576399

would it be possible to have an option to forbid imprisoned or enslaved colonists?

Where has this been for so long?! Nice!

@bdew hello please can you integrate this with Tribal Signal Fire (Continued). It's an amazing mod but would be awesome if there is a tribal/medieval version of it.

@Bribski that sounds like something bugged out, is there anything fishy in the logs?

When inviting colonists to join, it's telling me they will join "soon" but not giving a specific timeframe. 'Colonists Enroute' is still displaying on the sidebar, but unlike normally, I can't mouse over it to see who's coming or when. It's been longer than the maximum join time since the last time I invited someone. Is there any way to fix this, or make it so that it tells me when these folks are coming?
