@☭Ⓐʳᵗ🅡🅣´꒳`ᰔᩚ I've been trying to cook up a good version of that myself!

Hey ferny, based on the generations 2 series there is this idea of a wildmen start having an immortal being to accompany them, I tried to meddle a little with it myself, but I found many bugs trying to deeply use the pawn editor before game start (zero pawns starts, and zero wild man wondering in which should be guaranteed) I wanted to ask yourself if you think a scenario edited version of an easy tribal start (not necessarily true tribal) which gives you a single very advanced colonist (a self energizing awakened android or a rare reviving xeno) sounds cool to you as well?

@sethkwright Gimmie ideas

more scenarios?

@ferny alright

@Rightimar I think, but nothing I fully take seriously at least to my knowledge

is there any mods that add archotech tech level start?

archotech start with archons would be kind of sick ferny

v25
- fishing is now unlocked by default for industrials+

@Reestock That's entirely in the hands of the player to decide how much that matters to them. If you want to start spacer, then you start fully as a spacer. etc.

In terms of the overall Progression gameplay, does it not detract from player experience if you start as ultratech because it'd be so much easier to begin with stuff like a charge rifle and all the necessities of research?

@fernyThank you, I will check it out.

@Мир That seems like an issue with using Progression Production without using VFE Tribals or Medieval Overhaul alongside it

Hi, I'm starting at the lowest level, and the game prompts me to research using a campfire. But campfires don't have that feature. I had to add a research table through the dev mod.

I revalidate my files before every game start to ensure all mods are updated, but I can reproduce the issue everytime.

@-=GoW=-Dennis That's just classic file corruption. Just revalidate.

Oh, interesting, that only happens when you quit a game where you have reached Neolithic and try to start a new world directly afterwards. Once you have generated at least one map, it's sorted back into Animal. Super weird.

For some reason the VFE starts now get sorted into Neolithic (still got sorted into the correct Animal level two weeks ago at my last start), is that intended?

Hey there, just letting you know that due to imgur being blocked in the UK the images are now not viewable here. Don't know how feaseable it would be to switch image host though.

v24 - industrial factions will now start with MO's "Textile spinning" unlocked

@ferny anything else? Or is this kinda like a megamod n all?

@gunningminer69 Harmony.

So what do I need for this mod to work?

Love this.

Appreciate the response. I'll grab it now.

@RynxXK5 Use Vanilla Factions Expanded Tribals and Progression: Core for that

Probably a dumb question, but say I start at the neolithic tech level. Would I be able to build up from that to spacer and above?
I know there is a mod option that you click that allows you to continue your research past that tech level, but every time I research something, there is a tool tip that states what tech level I am in, and the follow research is able your current tech level so it will cost this much more to research. Is that normal?

Yeah, so I've completely unsubbed from my entire modlist, wiped the workshop folder in its entirety, re-downloaded everything and validated the files via Steam and still not taking. I unsubbed from every new mod I added inbetween my last new-game and this one to rule them all out, so now I'm down to it being a conflict created by somebody updating something I've been a longtime user of.

Yeah, didn't do it for me. Deleted the whole mod folder, unsubbed, resubbed, everything is still borked. Spent half of yesterday trying to track down what might be giving it an issue, but still no dice.
Kinda gave up and am just playing a Rimeffect scenario this time around, despite it not really being what I wanted. Will keep trying to crack the problem inbetween that.

@IceMaverick That's classic scenario corruption, just revalidate your files.

Ah actually, it must be a compatibility problem on my end. I just realized that *every* scenario from this mod has completely disappeared. Including ones that are just being patched and reorganized. I guess it's off to start filtering out anything I've installed in between now and the last time I started a new colony.

Has the Odyssey New Gravship scenario added by this mod moved somewhere? I don't see it in my Spacer list anymore, only the default chase scenario.

worked, thanks mate

@EnzyPenumbra Scenario corruption, most common type of file corruption. Revalidate your files.

not sure if i've buggered something but the wild men and true start scenarios have moved to neolithic instead of animal, is this intended or have i broken it

v23 - added Progression Agriculture seed bundles to the new scenarios

Apologies for my poor english but I think what I am trying to say is, is there a way to make a new scenario from scratch where you can pick your tech level? because i know theres "new arrivals" and "new tribe" but im not seeing options for medieval/spacer? im not sure if that would even be something covered by this mod or not.

@horologium So the tech level is based on your faction. So select a spacer faction as your starting faction if you want that.

is there a button im missing somewhere for making new scenarios with a specific tech level? Maybe I just didnt read the colonist 'arrival type' dropdown correctly but I'd like to make a new spacer tech level scenario or one set to medieval but I didn't see any option for choosing starting tech level other than tribal / outlander?

if this is not currently present, it might be a consideration to add in the future.

the vanilla expanded team is working on an archotech expansion

and this is considered industrial, I tried adding archotech llke archogenetics too

what do you need for an archotech scenario? I tried to make a scenario where every colonist started with every part replaced with an archotech part, admittedly this did require Archotech Expanded and Implantify

@Valariz Forever

Do the meteor showers eventually stop or they go on forever?

Hey ferny, any chance playing as the new factions interferes in quest acquisition? I can't seem to trigger the royalty questline when playing as advanced new arrivals. It's probably not this mod, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

so just the game being weird... thank you!

@KittyShipperCaveGirl Revalidate files, scenarios get corrupted super easily

and now when I reload the game it has the steel and survival meals and stuff in orbital chase. confused cat noises, but sure

I am stupid, didn't realise the scenario was entirely from this mod and the vanilla gravship one was moved and had the mech chase element removed, ignore me.

Does this mod make any changes to the odyssey orbital chase scenario? it's the only mod I have installed that should change anything with scenarios and I'm trying to figure out why it seems like sometimes that scenario starts me with steel and survival meals and sometimes doesn't. I'm very confused right now lol
