Ideas / A bit more realism in caravan requests
November 14, 2018, 06:50:51 AM
Today I got this caravan request:



And it wasn't first request that seemed quite wierd. So what do I suggest is making demanded items and reward in closer tech range. Basicly demanded items can't be lower than 1 tech level. Some examples:
1) If they offer glitterworld medicine, archotech parts and other items that are top tier and trade/ancient/quest only, they ask for spacer items or better.
2) If they offer spacer tech items (marine armors, bionics, etc.), they ask for industrial tech items or better.
3) If they offer high quality (master-legendary) industrial items, they ask for medieval tech or better.

It would make requests more meaningful. I mean, if they asked for 20 armor vests on screenshot or even 20 parka in fall/winter, it would make much more sense to me. It also creates some kind of upgrade ladder for items in your stockpile (that you haven't sold yet), promoting you to find and may be keep higher tech stuff to eventualy trade it for glitterworld items.

Playing without mods.

TLDR: When colonist die "on hands" while being rescued, others get no negative thoughts. Nobody get "My friend died", "My husband died", etc.

Detailed version:
I was fighting mechanoids a bit far away from my base. After the fight I ordered to rescue all downed colonists. One of them died "on hands" of other colonist half-way to the hospital. But, nobody received any negative -mood thoughts. He had a wife, but she is fine. She doesn't have "My husband <name> died" thought. Her backstory is: Cave child, Loner. Traits: Brawler, Greedy, Undergrounder. Dead colonist also had friends and rivals (he had a social fight not long ago), but nobody of them are affected.

Steadfast and Iron-Willed traits have only 4% decrease since A15. They should have 9% and 18%. I belive they got broken when "Extreme Break" was introduced. 5% chance extreme break can only be decreased to 1% (hence 4% decrease) and game uses this value instead of 9% and 18%.
