I'm a bit confused on what the requirements for making a captive into a servant soul are, as well as the best way to get there.
Also if I may suggest it would be helpful if we could sort the glossary by the short terms, since that's what we're encountering in game and usually I'm consulting the documentation to find out what it means
To turn captive soul into servant, you need like 65-72 subservience to you. Can do it with master obedience training, making them obedient. And then either doing some submission training, or hypnotizing them to subservience to you. Mantra works too, but it might come up problematic because mantras seem to be affecting certain perks constantly. Or just waiting out. Think of servants being like not good enough to be deemed residents who have certain rights and demands, but not rightless prisoners.
You can hover over the perks to see what they are. But really look at them as tags. Most of them do nothing unless they belong to soul perk. And even then you might need incarnate certain targets, or deincarnate to souls. But other than that, sharpshooter does nothing except some assignments which tell if it needs for example. Same with other skills so you do not really need to know what they are just what they do. Also look at class definitions in drop down menu, like 90% of class requirements are in the assignment. So if you pick role 1 saying something like scout, and other assignment has scout it would match most likely almost fully. Also would recommend copy templates from those and use whatever means to bring them closer. Though there are certain common things, like aggressors are better from corrupt races because of what traits you get by corrupting people or using certain cursed items. Defenders a bit more from purified races. But other than that you do not care what race you use. In most cases.
Effectively this game is one of remakes of no haven or fort of chains. Some things does better some feel redundant. But again it is far more convenient to play. Because it was a hell to try and figure out what classes did in no haven and what tags came from class and what were random. And with how limited those games were in changing things out it was hard to figure out. (no haven especially had that quirk no bad tags, so we have same kind of assignment having just random set of tags which hard to match.
well the template is in guide. I recommend looking at it it also has hints on how to earn first energy and matter. There is assignment which on constant basis earns you quite a bit of energy to sustain things early on. Though you would need to do a bit of work to see higher values and it is quite easy to empower unlike most assignments. And well matter is hinted in guide.
You can also auto apply template by just drag dropping on target or target on it. Sadly there is not much reasons to get a lot of things. they look a bit redundant. Though I guess each realm more or less balanced and has some purpose to go there and tasks to get matter or energy might be looked as side tasks because you spawned them.
It's roughly what bormoth has said to swap a captive to a servant. The minimum subservience is 35, but it also requires loyalty 10 which (for captives/servants) is largely influenced by subservience (it can be offset by the other stats, particularly fondness or love, though).
The best way to raise overall subservience is to do both basic and advanced obedience training; it directly affects the value subservience settles at and is likely to add the obedience trait that helps further. There's also obedience reinforcement to help raise it up.
I'll think about adding a toggle to swap how the glossary is sorted; having both is probably good.
Also a stupid question does mental condition, physical condition or stuff like boredom or lust affect the loyalty(or where it settles and tends to move)? or happiness or they just there to serve as interrupts on different rests to make sure you have enough service buildings. Because still contemplating how to combat loyalty loss due to intensive work.... Though I guess mental state for prisoner.... is just hint of day stop messing with their brains every day and it would settle back.
Boredom and lust affect satisfaction which affects loyalty by changing respect (and to some extent fondness and love); they also have direct effects on respect/fondness/love (it's meant to kind of model a mix between longer term satisfaction and immediate issues).
Mental/physical condition and wounds don't (broadly, some danger is expected is the idea there).
There's some balance/functionality issues I need to address with characters taking time off, but I'm intending to handle them after certain related things are added as it'll probably be kind of half fixed and need to be redone if I do it now.
