SharonYagami can you ask a Hostile pawn who isnt attacking your colonist to join colony with this mod? I play with the mod Ancient Urban Ruins and sometimes random npc pawns wonder around the ancient ruins but I can't just walk up to ask to join colony so will this mod do that?

This is 100% one of those mods that should be a vanilla feature, absolutely love it. I wonder if it would be feasible to add a "Go with them" feature alongside, where instead of asking "them" to join the colony, the colony member instead says goodbye (figuratively) and leaves the colony to travel with them instead? I think the easiest way to do this would be to give the leaving colonist the "Gave up" mental break. Even the text of the mental break seems suitable. Maybe change the leaver's faction as well. I don't know if there's a simple way to add them to the visitor group, so they don't just wander off alone.

Is it possible for this to work on traders? If not can you also add an option to or guide on some mod to recruit traders?

Hmm, doesn't seem to be working for me. My mechanitor's fiance is visiting as a "visitor with some items to trade" and the only thing I get when I right click on her is to trade.

Is ignoring "Unwaveringly loyal" intended?

@graveknave I'm sorry, it's my fault if they don't come over to talk. I'll fix it as soon as I have time. This is the second mod I've created, and I've only been learning programming for a year, so I'm a bit of a noob. If anyone wants to take over the project and improve it, you have my permission! But for now, I'll fix it as soon as I find time and add more options for social fights. Thanks so much for the feedback!

hi, i love this mod, thank you for making it! question--my pawns dont actually approach the visitor when asking to join, is this a bug? sometimes they will even start a fight from across the map!

ur good bro i appreciate u doing ur best

@TheGamimgLizard Damn, you're right. I'm trying to fix it, but I haven’t had any luck so far. I didn’t notice the issue because everything works fine on 1.6, which is the version I’ve mostly been playing. I only took a quick look at 1.5 and didn’t realize the menu wasn’t working. I’m doing my best to solve the problem, but I still can’t figure out where the bug is. I’m really sorry about that.

yah i still cant see any options i click on it menu--options--mod options---ask to join then its just blank when i click on it lmk if u want ss i got discord

ima try it again td i see u updated it

its just a blank screen for some reason do u got a tutorial ?

You can change the mod settings by going to Options → Mod Settings, then selecting "Ask to Join" from the list.

@GraveKnave: The chances of meeting a friend or relative aren't very high, so it's totally possible that the option doesn't show up very often.
In the new version, I added a 50% chance for a social fight to trigger automatically if the request is refused. This can be turned off in the mod settings.

As for another question I received — no, this mod is not like Reunion.
"Ask to Join" adds a contextual interaction during social encounters that allows you to try recruiting a pawn if they are emotionally close to someone in your colony.
Reunion, on the other hand, focuses on long-lost relatives or friends reappearing as events or visitors, and handles the whole reunion scenario differently.
The purpose and mechanics are quite distinct.

i cant change options

hi! really want to enjoy this mod, but i dont see any option to actually ask to join? seems the mod doesn't do anything.

this is awesome - i've been wanting something like this for so long. it would be really cool if there was a chance of a social fight on rejection, instead of it being an on/off toggle.

It's like "Reunion" isn't it?
