@PeanutGorilla no raids here either, although I was getting plenty of trade caravans

Anyone have an issue where their are no raids ever? No trade caravans either.

@Allyjamy fantastic, this is amazing. so much work on the landmarks :-o

@AllyJamy name suggestions for you

Russia/Moskovia - union of great steppes

Europe - frankish state/magna frankia/frankish federal republic(choose whatever variant your like. named in namesake of charlemagne's empire)

America - Vinlander state(vinland is old norse name for north american continent)

faction in middle east - middle eastern federation

Japan - Yamato technocrachy

China - east asian union

Commonwealth of the islands - the redcoat empire(maybe even make them a shattered empire reskin).

faction in south america - patria grande or la federacion(choose whatever variant you like)

Is there a smaller version of this or maybe only specific continents

@Johnny Dollar try generating world with all the factions you want, then copy it as a new world and generating again. Worked for me but some factions settle in the water.

@Johnny Dollar Hello, I don't know, sorry. There may be other mods that let you do it, but generally thats just not how Worldbuilder presets work.

@Kasspar Overall I tried to give each nation a "different" name from their contemporary name, so conflict on the map doesn't become so personal. Europe should probably have a different name though, but if you have a suggestion for a futuristic name for Russia, then I am open to suggestions.

Dude, I asking without negativity.. Why Muscovia? Why not Russia or something more... futuristic?

@AllyJamy
Hello Ally!
Is there any way to keep the world, but generate chosen factions randomly, like when setting up a default world?
My hand got tired placing faction bases all over the place.

@AllyJamy with your mods installed no worlds(not regular rimworld, not your custom made) with factions enabled not generating. After pressing the button i can see the "generating planet" screen, after that i get sent back to the world selection screen. When choosing Earth with no factions on it, it generates normally with no issue. Trying to disable all your custom factions and generate regular planet with wanilla/other mods factions also throwing errors and not allowing me to generate the planet.

@mik0h1me What are you talking about? I've tested this mod with basegame, ideology, biotech and odyssey as well as in large mod lists. Do you mean that factions do not spawn at all? Do you mean Earth factions do not spawn on a regular rimworld? Do you mean faction base maps do not generate? Do they generate, but not "normally"? or do you mean the factions won't spawn on an already made world? Which in that case, yeah, no of course they won't! The Earth with factions is a preset I set to that world only.

Test the map with basegame and the DLCs, test it with a smaller mod list, or test it with a pre-made modlist like the Progression modpack, get rid of mods you think might conflict with the factions...

Be more specific and clear about what your problem is, because from my perspective: either you are expecting the mod to work in a way it was not designed to, or your 300-400+ homebrew modlist is overly bloated with a tonne of conflicts which is causing the bugs.

worlds with factions still not working for me, game throwing this when generating world with existing factions:
Error in WorldGenStep: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
no factions map generates normally

Thanks bro

@dustin Echoes, Try & use this, Faction Customizer mod: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3336572602

you can change relationships to enemies/allies/neutral for every faction including yours.

Why are americans pemanently hostile and how do I change that?

Ah thank you for the explanation. I appreciate your work. Very detailed.

@Hi5Ghost because these are the presets I have set, use the no factions version I included and use faction customiser to make your own factions. No empire because I don't have the DLC and so its also accessible to those who do not have it.

I gave up and tried the one with the preset factions. Is there no Empire?

I didn't test it without ideology
but it's everything on the earth map and everything but the outlanders and maybe a pirate on the rimworld

Can you be more specific? Which factions in particular, what DLC are you using, does it happen when ideology is disabled.

Why cant's I include my own factions? Same problem as @ Lotl

mod seems to completely delete all faction spawns besides like two settlements

@AnOffensiveMole
@LNBalestra
@Pomparelli
@mik0h1me

Ideology faction bugs should be patched now

medieval overhaul version please?

medieval overhaul version please?

hope the bug with the factions not spawning gets fixed soon!

oh my god this is the one that added 10 billion factions to my game start

Thank you also for your detailed reports. I guess I will actually have to get the ideology DLC so I can properly test compatibility.

So your patch fixed the errors on load up but the:
Failed to find [Faction Name] for settlement [settlement name]

I disabled Ideology and it looks like it works now by turning that off. unfortunate that I have to play without that content but at least I can do a game Run on Earth now. Thank you for the quick assistance in getting it going at least. hopefully in the future there can be some compatibility for ideology. For now we I have a way to play this now and thats good enough for me. :)

@AnOffensiveMole Pushed a patch. It loads for me. If it still don't work I dunno, I'm not seeing the error, maybe try disabling ideology if it persists. (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

on start up its just the culture config error then when trying to start a game anyway I gert:
Failed to find [Faction Name] for settlement [settlement name]

@AnOffensiveMole Is the culture config error the only one you are getting or is there others?

Oh, I did un-sub and re subbed and still the same.

I will also note I disabled all other mods except for VEF, World builder and this one, to test if another mod was causing issues.
getting several errors with:
Config error in Earth_[CultureName]: at least one allowedPlaceTags must be defined in ideology.

@AnOffensiveMole Have you tried un-subbing and resubbing?

im having the sames issues as some others still. Factions wont spawn. I see the planet (looks great by the way) but no factions.

You’re a hero among men

Tested with VEF also, so should be good

Think I fixed it. Didn't really do anything other than renaming a file, reopening rimworld a few gazillion times until the error went away. Weird. Let me know if the error persists.

It is something with VEF though yes.

There is a problem on my end. Looking into it, though it doesn't make any sense to me.

Its bugged bro. Factions are blank with most Vanilla Expanded factions and most stuff by Oscar bugs your factions out

No, i use my own pack, not some specific modlist, with all DLCs and Odyssey included too

I've tested with a modlist of around 150 and it works as intended. Is there a specific modlist you use or is it homebrew?

I am also having the issue of no factions spawning. Mod list around 360. The non-Odyssey version of the mod works fine for me.

Well it's pretty big, somewhat about 300-400, there're mods that add new xenotypes and factions, is it possible that your factions can't properly generate because of additional xenotypes? They also can't be spawned manually on no factions version map throwing the same error in the console. Also the no faction map can be loaded if there's truly no factions enabled, trying to generate vanilla or modded factions excluding this mod factions will result in the world simply not loading as well, though through Faction Customizer vanilla and modded factions can be plased manually with no issues

This is strange. I have never had these problems. what size is your mod list?

No factions are spawning for me too. Dev console throw this for every faction:

Failed to find faction european_feds for settlement Sevile

additionaly other worlds, like normal Rimworld or Mars or Venus don't even generate at all

@Ace of Spades Do you have any other faction mods that might conflict?
@whisper Yes I can look into that.
