Hi!
Could you add an option to spawn psylink neuroformers instead of directly giving a level?
Otherwise great addition to my game :)

If you use the ritual without the additional reward it will only ever give a psylink to the target.

is there a toggle for the "everyone gets a psylink" reward..? i want a way to get psylinks ingame but that reward puts me off using the mod, colony would change completely if i got that outcome..

Done

You have load after info in your about file, but neglected to add the mod dependencies. Please add in dependency flags for Royalty and Ideology . Please add the following to your About file to fix this:

<modDependencies>
<li>
<packageId>Ludeon.RimWorld.Royalty</packageId>
<displayName>Royalty</displayName>
</li>
<li>
<packageId>Ludeon.RimWorld.Ideology</packageId>
<displayName>Ideology</displayName>
</li>
</modDependencies>

Should be fine, though you'll need to either reform or dev edit your ideology to add the rituals or change the outcome rewards.

can this be added mid save?

thank

@csc001, it's not a perfect solution, but you can use the additional reward outcome to tie getting links to any successful ritual. Hadn't been planning on it, but that's a good call out.

Does the author have any plans to add a single player ritual, as some players often use single player for their games, just a suggestion, no offence intended!

Scrounging together my basic programming skills and Visual Studio
i got the attachable outcome to more or less do what i want it to do.
But some options to change the target and amount gained would still be appreciated.

I got some time off coming up in a couple weeks, if I can figure out mod options I'll take a shot at it.

The Steam notification tells me there was an answer to my post which seems to have been deleted. It was helpful but did not answer my post.

I have a good 40 pawns and have the Psylink outcome attached to the annual winter orgy.
However on a great outcome i get 40 Psylinks now. Thats a bit much.

I want a middle ground, such that a good outcome gives a Level to one random participant.
And a great outcome gives a level to one random participant and an upgrade for each participant
that already has a Psylink.

Is it possible to have another option for this mod?
I want only the target and attendes that already have a Psylink to be able to gain one,
not random people specatating.

FYI Steam was a little weird about the download, it gave me the pre-1.5 version a few times until I unsub/resub a 3rd time and it pushed the 1.5 version. Not your fault, this is just something Steam does sometimes.

Fantastic, thanks so much!

Updated for 1.5, version split so it should keep working on 1.3/1.4.

Sad to report this throws errors on loading in 1.5:

looking forward to an update, such a great mod!

this is so awesome, thank you so much for making this!!

@NotSoCoolGamer
Use the psylink ritual without the psylink additional reward option. You can turn it off, set it to a wander joins, whatever, doesn't matter. The ritual will only ever give it to the one pawn, the additional reward gives it to randos.

i wish the everyone gets a psylink could be turned off in mod settings, i really just want one pawn to have a psylink and not 5 other pawns

Seems to work with VPE

Now I can sacrifice unbelievers for unlimited power!

How about a hardcore mode?
Positive gets one level for the target. Excellent outcome gets a second link for a random attendee. But awful outcome removes a random psylink from target and 1-4 attendees.

Probably a conflict somewhere, but with this active I am unable to use rituals. Clicking the confirm button when starting does nothing.

@boy i die!!! ♥♥♥♥ boy
Generated a few worlds and it looks like it's not quite all of them, but it is way more common than I'd expect. I didn't touch anything related to how often rituals should get picked so no idea why it's doing that.
@Wubba Lubba Dub Dub
The pawn will still have the Psylink health effect on their brain, but you don't need to use any neuroformers.

So I don't need a psylink implant with this mod?

Current version adds at least one "psycic channeling" ritual to every ideology generated by the game. Nothing serious but very odd.

Error should be fixed. I had a partial mod options file in my build. In 1.3 it wouldn't show up on the mod page, but 1.4 picked it up.

confirm that the mod settings page blows up bigtime

heads up this can give psycasts to child participants, which I think is very neat but maybe not what you intended.

The settings panel is broken, showing nothing and spewing errors.

@98 Owls I get it. I have a mod conflict somewhere, because in my game I am not able to set a target for the ritual. Pawns will party collectively and that's it. Somewhere in my LO there must be a mod that breaks rituals. Seeing as other users have the same issue, it might be a fairly popular mod. If I find it, I'll report back.

General: 1.4 is up, loads clean locally for me.
@Three-legged Wolf
It should be that whomever the 'target' in the ritual is gets the level. If you've got random psycasts as an outcome reward, those can go to anyone involved who isn't a slave or prisoner.
@Archilyte
Maybe? I haven't looked into the code for VPE. This hits the code to up your psylink level by 1, if they've changed that then probably not.

loads clean for me

Got some red lines on startup:

Any chance on a 1.4 update? Absolutely adore this mod

@Crimson Lupus huh, so it might be a conflict then. Might try deactivating stuff like alpha memes from vanilla expanded. Might be some overlappign somewhere. Sux either way

@Three-legged Wolf Same here. I've used this mod in other playthroughs where it definitely worked. But now I can't select a target either. The ritual is just a basic social gathering now.

@Archilyte it does. No conflicts AFAIK.

does it work with vanilla psycasts expandeed?

@Theron that's even worse :p. I've been raising my ideology "level", as in advancing by having all roles active, and having all statues/artworks, but so far All I can do is perform the ritual and cross fingers that the psylink won't be given to some shmuck colonist, instead of my psy-ops panws. Would still love to have some feedback on the matter...

im with you Wolf. well kinda. for me they all go to the alter but as soon as the focus gets there the ritual cancels.

So I'm likely missing something obvious, but I can't seem to find a way to add a target to the ritual. As in, I'm able to perform the ritual and some random shmuck from my colony will get a psycast... great... He has -80% psychic sensitivity. The mod page states "The new ritual grants a specific pawn a new psylink level on success.", and I've seen a streamer use this mod to achieve just that, so I'm likely the one missing something. I'd appreciate some pointers :)

For some reason, enabling this mod removes my ability to select dance party rituals.

sex

extremely overpowered and fun

Bro you could make a version of this for rim of magic, that'd be really popular. Necromancers that get power by sacrificing people, all kinds of crazy stuff becomes possible.

Awesome idea but giving everyone a psylink level for excellent outcomes gets powerful fast...

@Skullipop! the idea of Andrew W.K beign a psiker is honestly terrifying
