How do i restrict faction numbers?

[Evul]

How do i make it so a faction only is selected one? A faction never are more then 1 or less then 1 for example?

The arachnids mod sometimes adds 2 arachnide faction and that is not working as intended.

From what I can tell, it's hardcoded to just randomly select from the FactionDefs.

Code Select Expand


public static Faction NewGeneratedFaction()
  {
    return FactionGenerator.NewGeneratedFaction(DefDatabase<FactionDef>.GetRandom());
  }


Which surprises me, as I usually see 2 Pirate factions, 1 or 2 Tribal Factions and 1 or 2 Outlander Factions.

I can't seem to find any weighting options to push the Faction Selection to this pattern though.

I'll add more options to determine how factions are initialized.

I'm curious about this as well. Specifically I'm after having just a single faction be present when the game starts. At the moment the game generates 3 factions containing the only faction I've left in the game.

Reviving this thread, so after that many months, where do I have to look for to restrict the game to only select 1 enemy faction? Specifically if the only selected faction is a custom one?

Edit: Please please let the answer be that it's only a matter of editing XML files. :')

Try take a look at the mechanoid or spacer factions, they are hidden factions but there must be something that makes only one of them
