Is there anywhere where we can share presets or colonists? I always struggle to decide what colonists to use.

It would be nice to be able to get some pre-made "medic", "cook", "farmer" colonists that can just be tweaked.

yea.. I'm looking forward to someone more creative, making a firefly/serenity team.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. StorymasterQ

Love this so damn much! thank you so much for all your work and effort! sorry to ask though, is there a way to add more than 10 colonists to start with? i know it may be asking for a bit much, but i'd really like to start the game with a bunch of people i know. i'd probably even start recording the whole play through. haha!

10 people is a bit much for the balance of the game.   ;D
Though it would make the first few days quite interesting,
i'll watch a play through of that for sure!
I remember the days of giving prisoners peg legs, and then removing them to immobilize them.

The issue with adding more than ten colonists is that I would need to rework the tab UI at the top.  As you add more colonists, there is less and less space for each colonist name.  I can look at it again, but I'm not sure that I'll be making any changes.

The Dropbox you have for the newest version of the mod doesn't seem to work.

The Download button is grayed out and we're unable to actually download anything without it.

Anyone else seeing that or is it just me?

Understood, although i think that i should bring to your attention that Ive cheekily found a way around it, ive saved a group of people, gone into your EdB Prepare Carefully file in App Data, opened up my saved group, copied and pasted the pawn data, overridden the save and opened it again in game. I mean, it works, the tabs are functional, if not a bit small, which i see as no problem. Its just that when i try to start the game, a message pops up at the top left of the screen stating that "You cannot have more than 10 colonists."

I believe i got around it by mashing the button.
Try clicking it 2 or 3 times.
Worked when i just tried.

Even though the button appears grayed out, clicking on it should still trigger the download.  I know the Dropbox prompt to create an account is a little annoying, but I personally prefer it the ad-driven download sites.

As an alternative, I always add the mod to the original post as an attachment--you'll find the link at the bottom of the message.  You do need to be logged in to the forums to see that link.

For some reason, the attachment link for the mod was removed for a little while--I must have forgotten to update it with the latest version.  I have fixed it, and it should be available again.

This is seriously my favorite mod for Rimworld. I hope Tynan adds it to the offical release at some point. Great work!

Please add a way to put in a number of an item your getting, other wise it can take hundreds of clicks to put in how many you want.
For Example I want to take with me lots of cloth, 300 or so I will need to click 300 times to put it in.

You can click the 'number' between the increase and decrease arrows and drag the mouse towards which ever you want to do and it will rapidly increase or decrease depending on which side you drag the cursor after words.

Welcome, it works on traders too! Or any thing that has an incriminate and the 'choose number' thing like that.
