Got this error. Anyone know why?

Are you definitely using the most recent version?  A similar issue was reported earlier and fixed in the most recent.  If you are up-to-date, it would be useful to know which other mods you are using.

Definitely using the latest version.

Just the first?

Nawww this forum is definitely dead.

Do you mean all the <BackstoryDef>s or just one? If you mean all, do I have to change all of them from <BackstoryDef> to <BackstoryDefs>?

Is it possible to create these weapons?

Is this forum dead?

no and yes you can have multiple backstories in one file.

Thank God you replied! Can you help me check this? It's the ENTIRE XML file. It doesn't work for me for some reason.

Yeah, this is the ENTIRE file. Any errors?

Is this forum dead?

Apparently, trying to mod the XML files in the "Traits" folder in the Core folder is a bad idea...
I found out that a few traits are missing from my game (vanilla traits).
I confirmed it by Randomizing the starting colonists (where many vanilla traits were gone) AND with Edb's Prepare Carefully mod (where I could not find certain traits such as Neurotic).

Can someone upload a clean and untouched file of the Core folder? I would really appreciate it!

Any suggestions of me reinstalling the game will be in vain as my Internet connection is extremely weakened.

How do you make new storytellers? How is their portrait made? 

Since I can multiple backstories in one file, is this correct?

</BackstoryDefs>

Some questions :
1) Is the format correct?
2) Is the </BackstoryDefs> between the 2 backstories supposed to stick together or have one blank in between?
3) Is the spawn categories (Civil, Raiders) in the correct format?

Odd... how do you obtain such a hat?

You should be able to make one just like normal hat or tuque. (in tailoring bench)

Well, I do not see the option to make one. Even Development mode (place direct thing option) does not show such an item.

Odd... how do you obtain such a hat? My people need them for the winter before NATO attempts to take Moscow (and gets the same fate as the Wehrmacht and Grand Armee)

Well, my colonists will stand still regardless of how much jobs they are supposed to do after activating the mod. I have put this mod to load first (before Core) and yet they just still stand. I can force them to do work but it is too problematic. I guess only deactivating the mod is my only option....

How do you make weapons from the Second World War era? I don't seem to see them on the Smithy....


And BTW, the descriptions of weapons should ALL be the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page for the weapon.
