What's the difference between refactoring and rebalancing?

Thanks b0rsuk.

Trainables do not show on the training ITab if they can never be done by the selected animal.

Oh god, the iTab? I was really hoping Apple would of been destroyed in some great civil war centuries ago by this point

Could you please let us see the stats of a chased refugee? Would really help in deciding who to take and avoid the annoying mood penalty for captured or killed colonist because the new guy wasn't good enough for the colony. It's especially unpleasant when you have to go across the whole map burying a random refugee which dissapointet you and was left to die.

"Hello? Do I have Colony? ..Yes, hello, I'm Terry "Tipsy" Fredriksson! I am on the run from the banger faction
I have Cataracts, dementia, bad back and I absolutely refuse to haul anything.
I'm extremely volatile, abrasive and neurotic and I've lost my both arms. Could you hel- ..hello? Colony? are you there? hello?"

-Snippets of Dr.Z-

Why not accept them, bring them to a location close to the colony but far enough away to keep the debuffs away, and use that colonist to lure the enemies into a trap. Especially if said colonist is caught in the cross fire!

You can get a pretty good idea by reading description. You get the profession and age. If age is above 50, bad back, frail, or a cataract is likely. Anyone above 80 is a wreck in Rimworld.

Yeah, but the description gives you no idea about the skills, traits and incapabilities the person haves. I have a clear plan which colonists for which tasks I want and I have some no goes which can't be balanced by any skills.
Of course if the description says joywire artist I know it's probably not worth the try but in many cases it's not that clearly which leads to said fussiness.

[A Friend]

How about this:

1. The refugee just asks if you will protect them. They don't join yet.

2. Once the request is accepted the refugee goes into your base like a visitor and may either just hide there or help you fight.

3. When all the chasing enemies are killed, incapped, or fled. The refugee thanks you for your help and asks if he can join. You pretty much had enough time to check his stats to decide. (Suggestion: The refugee may not ask to join afterwards but instead may leave behind an item. A large amount of silver, some plasteel, or perhaps a high-quality weapon or just be an ungrateful little asshole and give you nothing for your gracious rescue and you butcher him and sell him off as leather and meat.)

[Dr. Z]

Well then you would still have to decide wether to fight or not fight the cahsing pirates without knowing if the colonist is worth it. But I like the idea of the refugee dropping something valuable in exchange.

As it should be.

Shinzy and b0rsuk describe why we aren't given too much information perfectly

You have to remember: you're running a colony trying to survive, not a business looking for "suitable employees"

If you're looking for a specific set of skills, turn your attention to raiders. When a raid begins, look at each raider's characteristics. If you happen to come across an individual which you might have use of, do your best to incap and recruit them to your colony. That's what I do.

I honestly don't think the refugee chased event needs to be changed at all, and suggestions for change should probably be started in the suggestions forum under a new topic

The name, ludditte, or settler, or artist tells you the skills they have, and age tells you about what level of skills, and injuries... enough for me to make an informed decision.

[Coenmcj]

If I recall correctly, this was actually a requested feature, something about people finding it silly that they knew exactly what the refugee's stats and story was about, before they made the decision.
