Description:
Well howdy fellow Rimworlders!
I'm here to present to you the latest technology in mind altering ... technology.
Erhum...
Are you tired of your lousy traits?
Pessimist are you? Lazy perhaps? Maybe a bit abrasive?
Have no fear, the Mind Altering Device is here!
Just give it lots of power, jump in and brace yourself for a brand new start!
Take a look at our first live test right here!
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bfpbpksg0ni3xx9/youtubeLink.png) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASrawmuCG7A)
Or take a look at our pictures down below!
Usage:
Simple 3 step program:
1 => Install the device using our blueprint.
2 => Provide the device with enough power.
3 => Enjoy your new life!
Update 1.11:
Who needs ethics in this industry, am I right?
Shove those prisoners in the Mind Altering Device, I'd say!

Honest Description:
This mod was just a test to see how far I could go with Rimworld code and my limited knowledge of C#.
The code is not optimized and is held together with proficient amount of ducktape.
The video might be an exaggeration but I couldn't resist taking the joke a bit further.
So it's basically a machine, closely resembling the cryptosleep casket.
Order your colonist to step inside and wait for the process to finish.
Your colonist will now have 2 or 3 new random generated traits.
There are side effects to this of course. (you wouldn't want it to be overpowered would you?)
Closely examine your colonist for any health issues or mood swings before using the device multiple times in a row.
Don't say I didn't warn you!
New Functionality:
As suggested by fapple on steam
After some further research you can now change the backstory of your character as well!
(randomly of course!)

Updates might be slow...
Without going into details, there was an incident around February 2016. After some time I got my diagnosis..
Unable to work and after frequent visits to the doctor/hospital/psychologist/psychiatrist, I can say I'm doing better now.
I'm taking heavy medication which don't come without side effects, but hey. Everyone's got something right?
For this reason I let everything go, including this mod. And if it wasn't for some people (like you Skullywag!) I prob wouldn't have updated this mod.
For the same reason, I can't really say if I'll be able to continue this. Purely based on medical reasons.
Nothing's going to stop me from trying though! :D

Suddenly had a flashback from the body snatchers :p
Sneaky table ain't sneaky any more. It has come out of hiding and is available for downloading.
Also ... nice job spotting that! :p
Great video!! Very funny!
So... new game required or save game compatible? Do we know yet?
Oooooo. Your under may radar now.

Hah! Thankyou! :)
So far I had no trouble using it on existing vanilla or modded save games. (Just added a few classes of my own, and I'm not touching any existing xml files.)
I do suggest making an extra save game, of course, before trying my mod (or any other mod for that matter. Better safe then sorry!)
Also if it doesn't... please let me now!

Didn't try it with a saved game but started a new game instead. Works perfectly for me so far! It is exactly what I was looking for, thanks bunches!!!

That's a pretty specific thing you were looking for then :P Glad it works and have fun!
Update 1.10:
Who needs ethics in this industry, am I right?
Shove those prisoners in the Mind Altering Device, I'd say!
Description:
Added the possibility to order your wardens to haul a prisoner of your choosing and shove them into the mind altering device.
click on your warden and right click your prisoner to see the option.
Hey Izzy, is there any option for a player that always gets bad hatred by the AI in this game (me), to make this OP?
P.S, When i mean bad hatred, the AI throws everything at me at week 1 :D

Well the only tip I could give is to not use the device more then once in a row, always check the colonists moods before continuing.
Not much can happen then. But an actual OP button will never get in the mod though.
Don't think better traits will help your colonists much anyway, when the AI throws everything at you in the first week :p
Heck I use my own mod myself, haven't found the time to try and get my abrasive colonist a new trait.
Too busy putting out fires, fighting of raids, trying not to starve, surviving heat waves, blackouts and balancing their moods just above breaking point. 3 hours into the game, colonists still eating raw food of the floor ...
I know your pain lol
that video tho AHAHA :P
10/10 video. Actually going to try this now :D
I'm pretty sure this is the best mod and the best video, well done :)

i don't actually get this. i play randy or cassie on the hardest dificulty hoping the A.I kicks the crap outta me, and an hour in im self sustaing with decent gear, loads of food, money and no mood problems. i want to get hurt bad, but ive played year long games that never even had a hint of everyone dying. i must've played a hundred games and i never lost a colony except when using dev mode to kill it. so annoying.
Do a vanilla start (no prepare carefully) on ice sheet.
ice sheets my favorite map. and i only use prepare carefully for fun little custom scenarios i mess with occasionly.
Unless you're rolling all cannibals then that is unlikely.
When I order the colonist to get in the MAD, they lie like in a bed and then stand up a bit later. Nothing happens. No menu pop-ups, nothing. They just get the post-MAD sickness.
Bump with a request for an update pretty please :)
Bump, interested in an update as well, maybe a "mind wipe" option that removes all traits and incapables.
Ill give Izzy a poke next time i see him about.
Also hoping this gets updated, it's a very neat mod!
the machine needs a "minion" setting
i dream about a hive mind mod :D sharing skill XP and the like
And of course update xD
Update 1.12:
Update to A13... It's about time
Also added language support... which should have been there in the first place.
Sowwy:
For those demanding a reason for the delay, please check the main topic.
All in all sorry to the people for the hefty wait time
And thanks for the patience.
Yay, thank you for updating! And I hope you are or get better soon!
Thank you for updating.
Important, take care of yourself. There is nothing like health.
Update 1.13:
Update to A14

Hey, hope you'll like it! :)
And I do have an idea for a new commercial (and a new mod to go with it) if you mean that.
But health/time issues are either stopping or slowing my progress.
As for the let's plays, dunno, I might. Even its just to get me in the game again.
HES ALIVE! Hey bud. New mod/commercial would be ace, the last one was epicly good.
Yass, so very glad to see that you're back! Still loving the mod!

Hi! Thx for the kind words a couple of months back btw!
Glad to hear you're still abusing....
Glad to hear you're still providing a better life for your colonists!
(I hope not to many died/brokedown ;) )
can't wait to try this out, thx for making such a lovely video :D
It should have a way that allows narrow positive options, or choose what exactly you want. Like require a lot of human flesh, an special chip / bionic (for the physical related traits).
Example, "Adaptive dermis" 60% chances pawn skin goes suited for the local temperature. 25% to get close the local temperature, 15% random result in a not desirable way: you got cool tolerant in a desert biome. In all cases the skin get more resilient +3 to hp body part(s).
I could provide a lot of ideas t balance it, but dunno how codeable would be.
Hey Izzy nice seeing you back here.
thx for the update
take care, bud
Im loving it! Great mod. ;D
;D,wow,is good
can't see the download link.........
you might want to look at the OP, then look for the word 'download'( in big BLUE letters with a blue open box), then click on it, BUT it is only for a14 at present
1.15
Updated the MAD to A15
After some further research you can now change the backstory of your character as well!
(randomly of course!)
(suggested by fapple on steam)
(sorry for the delay peepz, I'm back home for health reasons... on the bright side I got to update my mods ;D )

... Thankyou ... for pointing that out so I didn't have to <3
This is a cool mod and all. But, is there any chance we will see a separate version which can only remove certain traits (or 'bad' traits) instead of giving them 2 or 3 new random generated traits in their place?
To balance it, you could give the machine a chance to fail or increase the risk of brain damage. (Or maybe have a risk of replacing it with a bad trait instead of removing the old trait?)
I would attempt to try to alter this myself. However, I assume that doing what I wanted would require delving into C++ programming and recompiling the .DLL. Or am I wrong?
So I installed this and misc robots ++ and..Was having fun on the dev mode (creative mode?) then I wondered, what happens if I put a robot only capable of hauling in the backstory altering device? BOOM, an ascetic, prosthopobe and space researcher robot with melee and shooting skills. Awesome.

LOL put that bot on drugs and hes a super soldjer . i was having the same bug where it would do the ... on there chiold hood and it was hard to make them usefull agin
Tried loading this mod in alpha 16 (with changed about.xml of course) but it makes an error log appear whethever I'm right-clicking on pawns.
This mod isn't made for Alpha 16
Can this mod be made for A16? (or is there a coding reason it can't)
I love your mod my man, if you feel like updating it, would you consider making it that If you want to have control over the changed traits and or backstory it would require a tier of research, like tier one is the ability to randomly get new traits, tier two traits and backstory are changed randomly now, tier three you can set the traits but not the new backstory, tier four you can set both the backstory and traits. Just a thought, but thanks for doing this regardless.
Changelog
1.16
Updated to A16
Also ...
For some reason I did not get any mail notification from this forum.
Hence me thinking there was no intrest from this end, and only from steam users...
I should have checked.
I'll look through all comments once I updated everything.

Lots of people want to change but one trait... Someone even asked to be able to pick which one.
I still think that screws over the random nature of this mod, as... well... Rimworld likes screwing with you.
My mod likes that as well. I did have something else in mind (other kind of mod) but simply found no intrest in it anymore.
And yes, you'll have to delve into some programming :)
(Highly recommend you try it if you are interested, be warned though, coding can be addicting!)

I ... ok that's just funny.
My mod only checks whether or not its a colonist...
So yes, I can see that working... sounds OP... But that side-effect is simply to funny to fix!

Well.. To you and everyone else... It's updated now!
As for your suggestion, I'm afraid its the same answer as I gave to Thundercraft.
The tier system is a nice touch though!
Sounds good for a different mod.
(going to keep it in mind)
I just like the random nature of this one, being able to help you or screw you over. Just like Rimworld itself! :p
That was an freaking awesome video man!! :)
can't believe I didn't see this until now, now I know what I will be doing with my most guilty prisoners...
awesome video too

So I installed this and misc robots ++....
Well...my medic annoyed me with having some crappy traits and backstory, so I thought he might be volunteer for my MAD project. And I too use Robots ++
Result: hillarious...and regarding backstory somehow fitting...

i want to turn all my 50 prisoners into cannibals so they stop complaining about the human meat nutrient paste and got into a fight with my wardens every 10 minutes.
i need to know how to configure your mod to just a single trait change. :D
Could this possibly be made compatible with Several Puffins' 'Romance Diversified'?
Also, could you add a flick switch for your machine please?..
Damn, I just released my prisoners before I found your mod ..
This looks mega awesome and is as of now part of the Collection.
================EDIT===================
I now successfully used the MAD on several prisoners. And it worked like a charm.
But there are a few points that I do not like :
1.) For such a powerhungry building it absolutely needs a power switch.
2.) Also it should be miniturisable.
3.) I put Pawns with 4 Traits in, but get only 2 Traits back .. that kind of sucks.
=================EDIT 2 ====================
I have tried some of the wishes myself, but no luck yet.
Any Chance from you to release the code ?
Hello there - I used Mind Altering Device on one of my precious beauty female colonist ... Now She got disease called "Dementia" is there any way to rid it off ?
Are MAD devie generate any personality randomly or habe some preferenes to #bad# traits? I tryed this about 15 times and just 1 tme got better then before entering MAD.
Could you tell us if yu're going to release alpha 17 update?
reserved
Is it possible that this will release for A17?
post above
+1 for update waiting
Izzys a friend of mine. Ill see if i can find out what his plans are. If he comes on steam anytime soon....
If I just change the recommended version number so it loads, will it actually work or not?
Hey guys, I just wanted to note that I resurrected and re-implemented this mod for B18 as part of my Sparkling Worlds mod (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=35373.0)
Some of the code as well as the textures were taken from this mod but I also made some adjustments or created new code.
