What if survivors of previous raids returned stronger. Increased combat stats, better weapons and armor, missing limbs could be replaced with bionic (or maybe even archotech) limbs.

Something like Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor. Raiders that survived raiding your colony could strengthen next raids in various ways - as they already know the defenses of the colony and what they should expect.

Other idea I just got was for metabolism affecting nutrition you get from food.

If a meal gives 1.00 nutrition (Ik they give 0.9, but bear with me), then with 110% metabolism this meal would give 1.10 nutrition. While 60% metabolism would make this meal give only 0.6 nutrition.

Metabolism means how well a creature's body converts food reserves into energy to sustain life, better metabolism means they're more efficient at taking energy out of food.

Maybe better stomachs could also increase the food cap. Go from max 1.00 nutrition to 1.25 for example, or more. (Yes, I know that Royalty DLC already gives stomach that decrease hunger rate, but this isn't exactly the same thing.)

Since masochists like being in pain and tormented, locking them in prison should actually be up their alley. Add to the fact you're binding their hands and legs.

To make it not as OP, maybe the buff should come in effect after actually spending some time as a prisoner (for example: 24 hours) in order to avoid cheesing mood by quickly imprisoning and immediately releasing your pawns.

Solved it: All this time I've been trying to do the Dragorian Wild scenario (One of the add-ons to the Dragorian race mod). It had your faction start as "New Beginning" which somehow prevented the world from generating. Using scenario editor to change it to something else (or simply doing a different scenario) fixed the issue.

The red errors meanwhile were caused by Oscar Obnoxious storyteller.

Hello, I've downloaded some new mods and now I cannot make a new save. The game won't generate the world. It won't crash or lag just be stuck in the "Generating world..." phase.

Problem is going back didn't help either. Now even when I remove those mods I cannot make a new save file.

I've tried making a new mod order from scratch but it didn't work, it only created more problems.

Here's my (current) mod list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cVtqeaKcSm6XbEPCcEf5O9tKMWNESmwpL7BbKPfYQgY/edit?usp=sharing

And here's the debug log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xyMl9kbXosTTf6zY-hxGJHD0AkPIZkUg/view?usp=sharing

[Hearing.]

Increasing these two stats don't give as big improvements as increasing movement or manipulation. So I have few ideas for buffs to make them more viable.

Hearing. Remove the cap. Hearing above 100% literally doesn't give any benefits. Removing the cap would make bionic ears viable for traders and animal herders. Those benefits could have diminishing returns but at least they would do something.

Explanation: According to Bionic Ear's description, with that upgrade you could hear a cat before it appears. It also tunes itself to pick out meaningful sounds. This means it could pick out subtle tells and get a read on a person's emotions, giving you an edge in diplomacy or trade.

Blood pumping. Control the rate pawn's injury heals. According to wiki pawns have a base heal rate of 8, plus modifiers from resting and treatment. A pawn with blood pumping above 100% could have a higher base heal rate than a normal pawn. And a pawn with lower blood pumping could have a lower base heal rate than a normal pawn.

Explanation: Faster blood travel means platelets can get to the injury faster and in greater numbers. Nutrients and oxygen can also get to cells quicker, improving recovery.

This is my first post here, by the way. So hi everyone! What do you think?
