maybe some inbalanced, but... it's my story and I'm a writer of that )))

Hey..does this need to be updated for alpha 10?

Hey..does this need to be updated for alpha 10?

I think it does; I get an error in the debug window saying "Found no usable data when trying to get Backstories.BackstoryDefs from file NameDefTemplate.xml"

As this did not happen in A9, and the only other mod I've got active is Prepare Carefully (which was previously compatible), I'm guessing its a bug from trying to run an A9 mod in A10.

Now updated to alpha 10!

This is an amazing mod! My one wish is for there to be a way to remove certain backstories, since a few of them (particularly the backer-created ones) are more annoying than anything. It's easy enough to skip over them, but it wastes time and you can't stop them from showing up in colonists you recruit after you've started the game.

Probably impossible though, especially since it'd be a bit rude to people who backed the game early, so Tynan's probably put a little effort in to making sure it's not easy to remove them. Great mod nonetheless, I don't know how I lived before discovering it.

I have been looking for something like this! Perfect. Thank you!

Actually it is easy to remove existing backstories, I could add that functionality in if you wish.

You're welcome!

I would also greatly appreciate this function.

A question of my own: Would it be possible to give backstories FIXED connected TraitDefs?
So you could make a "Serial Killer" Backstory that also always gave "Psycopath" and "Bloodlust" ... just as an example

Since its easy th write TraitDefs that could really open up some creative new ways in my opinion.

This is a lot more difficult to do, I did try to do it earlier but it didn't work so I gave up haha. I'll give it another when I have some time and see if I can get it going, I agree it would be a nice thing to have

Awesome!
I hope you find a way to make it work.

I have added PawnBios, which combine two backstories together to make a unique pawn. I wasn't able to find any way to tie in specific traits with those however

This is great work!
No worries some things can't be done ... now. Who knows what the future brings, eh?

Thanks for continuing to improve this Mipen. Also thanks for adding my backstories. Keep it up !

No problem! They are really good

[Imca]

Can this mod only load one Def of each type at a time?

While all my backstories show up in prepare carefully, they keep getting droped upon the loading of a save.

Edit: Correction, I tried merging them and I am still losing my backstory every time I load the save, it just says that there not found and it is replacing them with a random.

Even though there working perfectly fine in prepare carefully, and on dropping into a new world.
