Yes this is an allways must have mod, no new colony without one !

And i think the "Use point limits" should be on by default, or some new player think that many points are normal for new colonies.

And i think the "Use point limits" should be on by default, or some new player think that many points are normal for new colonies. The points system is an interesting measure of colony start. With five tribals I get around 20k, and with a custom scenario of five industrials that was 40k someone declared "OP" to the starting provisions. So that looks like a range of about 4k~8k points/colonist. I like to impose skill-point and passion purchase costs on myself to make skill selection more interesting. My starting team gets skill-5 across the board A primary skill at skill-10 Two secondary skills at skill-8 A disinterested skill at skill-3 One burning passion Three passions

the current system either displays or doesn't display them according to meeting the various prerequisites.

This is not the intent.  It should be showing all of the backstories.  Can you give me an example of a backstory that is not appearing in the list?  I have not looked at the details of how backstories are assigned to randomly generated characters, but I believe it limits which ones are chosen based on the backstory categories defined in a faction's XML definition file.  The mod doesn't look at these categories at all right now; it just grabs the entire list of backstories from the vanilla game's "backstory database".

Will the new version display the stats of apparel? Like how much social or accuracy it boosts or adds a penalty too?

Recently I've been running into an odd behavior that I'm guessing is a memory issue during neolithic tribal starts.

When I go to load a pre-existing set of colonists (not a single but a group) a message pops up complaining that it failed to load and that I should make sure all appropriate mods are loaded. This doesn't always happen but it has happened with some regularity, maybe 1 in 5 starts.

Tonight I did something different: When I arrived at the main prepare carefully screen and attempted to load my defined starting set it failed. But then I deleted two of the five colonists on screen and then tried loading my preset group of five and it worked.

Great Mod, Can't wait to jump into A17 with this!

I was considering contributing some changes to help with the mod, but it looks like all the work you've done on the previous page hasn't been pushed to the github repo.  Did you want it to remain separate for now?

Thank you so much for this!

I've released a test version for Alpha 17.  There are probably a lot of bugs, but if you want to help me find them, please give it try--let me know what I broke!
