Hello again
Tried a play through with a bit edited override pawn
Caught interesting unintended behavior between mods
This and WH40K mankind finest

Not sure if problem lies with telepathy or Biscopea
two pawns with telepathy and this stolen gene via chimera keep teaching each other +4 to their current learnt skill level and I think it can go to infinity with limitless growth

I have the following mods affecting skills
WVC
RimDark 40k
Vanilla Skills Expanded
EndlessGrowth

It is really funny but I'm forced to chose between hivemind, space marine gene and game stability at this point

Should be fixed now. If the error occurs again, make sure you have the latest version of the mod.

I believe i found a small incompability with persona mechanoid pawns 2
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3522497657

When i applied the void mechlink into a Persona mech, two things happened
one the button never appeared
second the button appeared but no bandwith and the void mechlink even when it showed in hediff, it didnt apply, i could summon but they couldnt be controlled

i solved it by removing the AI persona Gene with devtools, once i did the bandwith came back

i cant offer hugslibs because it didnt appear any

No, this isn't an incompatibility or a bug. The AI ​​persona gene nullifies bandwidth; with zero bandwidth, it's impossible to control mechanoids.

Could just be something on my end with the number of mods I have but when I try to run the "Long Running Joke" scenario, when I roll pawns to start I only ever seem to get Blankind and Mechakin, despite the scenario description offering other potential options.

Scenario won't suggest other xenotypes automatically. This is an allowed list, not a forced one. Other xenotypes can only be selected manually.

Hi! I'm having this bug only when this mod is enabled:

I have all DLC installed. The mod order is accordingly set up so that you mod is last in the list.

Got a three-mod interaction / load order error. If we have:

Expanded Biotech Style Genes - All in One
Expanded Archite Genes
WVC - Xenotypes & Genes

... then we get:

Exception loading def from file Thoughts_Situation_General.xml: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
[Ref BFD499D9]

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/81432d4b9a200a4ef125526d59928539

if any one of these mods is removed, or if WVCX&G is moved above Expanded Archite Genes, the error disappears.

Guessing might just need to enforce placement above Expanded Archite Genes.

Inverting the order - placing your mod above Expanded Archite Genes - solved my bug also.

It is wise to assume that "Expanded Archite Genes" is the real culprit here.

Edit: it seems it is a vanilla XML bug. I've found this quote on that mod's comments:

There's an error in the vanilla XML loader where if you load a list element with MayRequireAnyOf above any list elements that don't have MayRequireAnyOf, it throws an error. I've reported this to Ludeon in the past.[\quote]

Ok. This isn't the first complaint. I'll add "Expanded Archite Genes" to loadBefore in the next update.

Red errors on startup.

- Tested with no other mods.
- Happens with both legacy mode and non-legacy mode.

Yes, these are old, unused def items. They could only be obtained through cheats/dev mode or with a very old version of the mod.

If your save is more than 4-5 months old, and/or you somehow managed to obtain these items and want them back, there's a legacy mode in the mod settings where they're still available.
