[1.0] Simple Slavery

[Ziehn]

                                                                                                       
                                                                                             Allows the player to take captured prisoners as slaves.

                                                                                Original mod by Thirite, updated to 1.0 by Ziehn. Uploaded with permission.

How to Capture a Slave
   You'll first need to make a Slave Collar at either the Smithy or Crafting Spot, then in the Prisoner Tab, select the new option, "Enslave". After that your warden will fasten it to their neck, and presto! They're now a useful member of your slave-driving colony. Slaves typically won't be happy about their situation and will make repeated escape attempts until their willpower has been broken. You can get a general idea of how low their willpower is from checking the negative mood effect of their "Enslaved" thought: it starts at a -15 mood penalty and rises from there. When a slave attempts to escape, you'll have to send out a pawn to catch them; assuming you're successful, they'll be carried to a prison cell where they will be interned for a few hours. After that they will resume their duties as a slave.

What Can Slaves Do?
   Currently they function very similarly to a normal colonist-- able to perform typical jobs, be designated colonist beds, may be drafted, etc. Of course they will probably still try to escape.

Emancipating Slaves
   Toggle on the "Emancipate" gizmo after selecting a slave. A warden will then autonomously set them free, or you may prioritize it like most other orders. Once this is done, they will be considered a released prisoner and leave for home. However, if you emancipate a slave while they are in a prison cell, they will stay as your prisoner- though freed of slavery.

Buying and Selling Slaves
   Slaves can be purchased from the same traders as in vanilla- but will now maintain status as a slave when they join your colony. You may also sell any slave in your colony in the same way you would sell a prisoner. Slaves purchased from a trader will already have their willpower broken, and will typically not attempt to escape (with the exclusion of Iron willed pawns).

F.A.Q.
Q. Is this compatible with Prison Labor?
A. Yes, I haven't used Prison Labor much myself but this takes a different approach. It pretty much comes down to which roleplaying flavor you prefer, Prison Labor makes it feel like your running a prison camp while Simple Slavery does better at playing being a slaver. They can be used at the same time.

Q.My normal colonists keep equiping the slave collars, why?
A.Collars are still just normal apparel, thus need to be forbidden in your outfit settings. I suggest making an outfit just for slaves too.

Q.I can't unequip collars, help!
A.If you are using the Rpg Inventory mod click the "Show List" button to view and unequip collars.

Note
   This is still a work in progress, but it seems pretty stable from my quick tests. It should be suitable for normal (non-debugging) gameplay but I'm sure the balance is likely in need of refining.

Disclaimer
   This mod is not meant to condone real world slavery, whether past or present. If you can't differentiate between a videogame and real life then you shouldn't be playing RimWorld to begin with.

Cool!

What do you think of having an option for beds to be "For Slaves" in the same vein as "For Prisoners"? Would give more disparity between colonists and slaves, and it's something I could probably punch out very quickly. Since I'm actually around right now, lol.

Not sure there would be much of a point to having slave only beds when you can just assign beds on a per colonist basis, but you could be right in that there needs to be more disparity in colonists and slaves. I could however use some help with the "Enslave" prisoner designation pushing "Execute" off of the PrisonerInteractionModes list due to 1.0 making the window smaller. (HugsLib continues to confuse me) Grab latest version, added comments I forgot to Source

My current plans would be adding 2 new collars - The ever popular and requested Explosive collar with an ankle bracelet option (less lethal if their leg goes boom rather than neck) and a Glittertech Stasis Collar to freeze escaping slaves in place. Both activated with a widget like Emancipate and Shackle. I'll be working on these whenever i get over this cold and lack of sleep lol

I would like to see violent escape attempts.
Unlike normal escape attempts, slaves pick up weapons and actively attack nearby colonists while escaping.

Ah, right, totally forgot about that. That was even something of a small problem in B18. I will see about making that window taller asap.

I would actually like a slave designation for beds.
For one, it stops new slaves from going to the fancy colonist bedrooms instead of the slave barracks(and yeah, I can manually command them, but manually doing that for every slave is a hassle). If slave beds are a thing, I can just designate a bunch of beds to be slave beds and be done with it.
Also, slaves escape every now and then, and need to be captured. However, to capture escaping prisoners, you need a open prisoner bed. This probably isn't a problem for people with large prisons, but if you happen to have tiny prisoners, tend to convert the prison rooms of recruited/enslaved pawns to colonist/slave rooms, or just don't have a prison open for whatever reason, you need to find a suitable room to temporary prisonify just to bring the slave back, which is pretty annoying. If slave beds are a thing, we could just pick up escaping slaves and toss them back to their rooms instead of in random prisons.
And yeah, more slave/colonist disparity would be nice. The current mod is kinda like insta-recruiting a colonist in exchange for some steel/leather and extra mental breaks, sometimes the slaves don't feel like slaves, but just colonists with more frequent bad moods.

Love the mod, just one question though - is there a way to turn off slaves being able to escape completely? I understand it adds challenge but it's frustrating having my slaves escape all the time, and I have lots of them.

When their willpower is reduced to 0 they get a +5 mood bonus and will not attempt to escape anymore.

Would love to see explosive collars that detonate when leaving the home area or any area they're allowed to be in.

Thanks for nice update.
I was often annoyed by colonists becoming really sad by deaths of slaves, because I like to use slaves as disposable cannon fodder.
