Prisoner relationship should increase recruitment chance

[Batpeter]

So Julio, one of my colonists got in a relationship with Sari, one of my prisoners. They love each other very much and want to sleep together. However, i still have to convince Sari to join my colony and their relationship does not seem to affect the chance for successfully recruiting her.

Having a relationship with a prisoner should make recruiting it much easier.

How is this even possible, I thought prisoners didn't speak with colonists.

I have had this happen before as well.

The "recruitment chance" will never change, however I believe that all of the rapport you build up during sessions of talking to the prisoner does increase the chance. You'll see that chance during actual attempts, if you watch close a little % chance pops up near the prisoner at the end of the attempt. As your warden does this more often, you should see the % increase. There are also things that make it worse so don't be discouraged if you see it go down all of a sudden too. Things like prisoner mood, room conditions, etc. all affect the actual chance of recruitment.
