Limit or assign backstory to pawn

[TheLockDown]

Since you wrote on your page that suggestions are allowed as issues, I have a suggestion. Can you make it so specific pawns kinds are either given specific backstories or are limited to certain kinds of backstories?

Thanks for making an issue. Sure, seems like a reasonable feature. I'll look into it next time I have a moment

You've even added an option for giddy up!? That's something I didn't even know I wanted! Thank you!

So you've had it for a week. Any feedback? Does it work how you needed?

[TheLockDown]

I love it! Although, if you're looking for further suggestions, I think you should add the ability to copy and paste or clone presets and loadouts. I always have the problem where I have to spend the bulk of my time readding apparel and equipment onto another pawn type that would be far faster if I could copy and paste the load out from an already finished load out. The only way I could technically do it is through the files. But that's a bit of a hassle. Otherwise, it's pretty good!

It's funny you should say that... I have a poc of exactly that feature XD.

[TheLockDown]

Cool! If you like, you can send it to me so I can stress test it. Also, some quality of life improvements. So when I add anything like an apparel or health condition, the menu with all that closes out after applying. It gets a bit annoying having to reopen the menu again over and over again to give the pawn more stuff. So unless there's already a toggle that keeps the menu from closing, I suggest adding that. Also, assigning multiple pawns a relationship. While in a small colony, that's fine, but a big colony requires multiple pawns to be selected at once to apply the relationship, because doing it one at a time is very tedious. For example, I'm making a restaurant with a huge staff and I'm trying to assign all of the employee pawns with the relationship "coworker" from the mod platonic relationship mod. It means the more pawns I have, the more time I have to go into Social and assign the same relationship status one by one. If you could add a function where you can mass apply the relationship onto one pawn, that would be great.

feel free, this isn't a generic all the things thread though, I just happened to have done that for #42
Additional TC requests should be in additional tickets so other people can also do them.

That said, this mod doesn't touch relationships at all, this is faction setup not pawn setup. Even if it was though I'd still say no to that just because the rimworld relationship system is disastrously unstable. I once tried to carefully handle a single relationship and it full on bricked saves every time you looked at it. It took many attempts to even delete it safely. I also don't know what you mean about the menu windows. Screenshots help but if it's not total control requests this isn't where to ask.

[TheLockDown]

Oh damn, wrong mod! I have no idea how I mixed up the two. My bad! It seems my brain stopped functioning for a moment there.
