Pawns will go to rejoin whatever faction they were in when released from prison, this includes your colonists. In other words, if you arrested Butcher Pete for stabbing a baby, you can release him again right after and he will rejoin the colony. However, they get a mood debuff for having been jailed, and do not get catharsis afterwards.
Clearly Randy Random thinks that YOU FALL OUT OF COCONUT TREE?
Taking Transhumanism as a starting meme in a fixed ideoligion is shit. Colonists start whining for age rejuvenation long before you're ready to set it all up, and they get horrible mental breaks constantly. Start with a fluid ideoligion instead. It is so hilariously OP. Development points are not hard to get, and you can basically toss in new memes whenever you want. Don't take Transhumanist until you've advanced far enough along the tech tree to have biosculpters, don't take Tunneler until you've actually tunneled underground and built a partial underground base, et cetera. You can basically satisfy the conditions before taking the meme and sidestep the mood hit entirely, or use a semi-primitivist set of initial memes and slowly swap them out for technological ones as you advance.
This seemed obvious once I finally realized it, so maybe you're already doing this, but using your ideologion's moral guide and altar make conversion so much easier. Conversion ritual in a decent worship room can take huge chunks off of certainty or even instant convert sometimes, while the moral guide's convert ability takes off a lesser but still significant chunk every three days. Just note that the conversion ritual still resets the moral guide's ability cooldown, so it's best to start with the ritual then use Convert every three days until you can ritual again. Most prisoners only take me one ritual and an assortment of Converts though, as long as your prison is shitty and your moral guide and worship room are decent.
vanilla hunting can be painful as the pawn will aim to be at the most extreme range of their weapon when hunting (which is long if your using the vanilla hunting rifle). Problem is weapons like the bolt action also have a long warm up and cooldown which means the animal can often move out of range before the pawn has an opportunity to fire meaning you can have a situation where the pawn doesnt take a shot for half a day because of these shenanigans.
keep in mind prisoner interactions are also governed by how happy the prisoner is and how much they like the warden. So if converting a prisoner they are happy, like the warden and the warden has decent Social then you will get a much higher certainty loss per interaction than with an unhappy prisoner that hates your warden. But theres also a benefit of crisis of belief nuking their ideology certainty if they mental break in their cell.
I'm not sure who to get angry at: Tynan for being a greedy fucker or Brainzz for being a spiteful fucker.
Personally, I respect principled spite far more than greed. Spite, especially spite rooted in principle, is a much maligned and poorly understood motivator. But it is not necessarily a negative one. And pretty much everyone with any interest knows Tynan is greedy, by now.
Hey, I have a soft spot for the ratkin mod, okay. I do prefer the mod that gives them vanilla faces though. Anime features when everyone has simple dot eyes is just off.
Fair enough. As much as Tynan loves to wax poetic about game development, he's only released one commercial product.
They do, with the biggest discounts either being 15% for the DLCs or 20% for the main game. Anomaly has yet to get a discount but that was released last year, and I'm guessing Ludeon only starts giving them discounts after their first anniversary.
