Will this mod work with a 32-bit version of the game? If so, where do I download that version? It's gotta be v 5.22b, right? I don't know how to find older versions of the game.....
This is the new Aric's mod which uses 0.5.25, not 0.5.22b. The game uses the same files for 32-bit and 64-bit, so it won't effect mods at all. Not sure if or how mods work with Wine. If you can't get the mod to work with Wine, then I recommend checking this thread https://itch.io/t/628179/how-to-make-mods-work-on-mac-osx-without-wine
Thanks! The Public Execution is really just a way that I’d made to purge the random NPC lists with a little scene (ie: mostly mechanical) but I evolved into a little feature on its own. The ability to save a slave from it was mostly for those moments you fought someone you really wanted but didn’t have a rope and wanted to keep them from getting purged, but I agree that it could use some balance as it makes gathering slaves very easy. If you have any recommendations for what may help it balance the cost/reward of saving a prisoner better, I’d be happy to hear them.
Regarding the Death List, it is weighed by an Array of which sounded worst to me personally, but I will try to add those into a Document in the Library so it is easier to understand the weight value of each death. Definitely taking suggestions on it, like I said it was fairly tacked on to make the purge immersive.
At this moment expanding this feature further (beyond the Reputation aspect for towns) is pretty low on my action list though, as guro isn’t really my fetish. It just kind of made sense for what the feature was, but I’d likely need more feedback on it and/or a writer who gets that fetish a bit more to really know what the community would want expanded with it.
Regarding Stability, I would make sure you have the fix applied for this version (a post or two below has the link). The overproduction was the biggest issue in this version. Thanks for the feedback!
I don't really have anything to add to the mechanical discussion here, but as far as writing I could try my hand at a few scene variants.
I'm not really into guro in the sense of outright killing either though, I'm more of a "lethal peril" sort. Bonus points if the victim has at least a slim chance of escape. This sort of thing (non-guro, don't worry). Could be a whole public spectacle, a "trial by perversion" kinda deal, heh. If you're interested I'll see what I can come up with - got at least one idea already ;)
Please double check which version of the mod you have installed. It should be v.08.1, if not, then please update.
Have you installed any prior versions of this mod before? I ask because there have been data corruption issues in prior versions.
There should be 2 windows that open when you start the game; one is the game and one is a terminal that reports error messages. If there are any, please either type them or screenshot(on Windows, Alt + PrtSc) them.
Please include a list of all mods used during the save. Even though they don't seem to be related, I don't want to rule that out yet.
Fixed it! As it turns out, I was using the wrong version of the Bandit Tooltip mod. I had the version designed for vanilla Strive, because I installed it before deciding to use Aric's Expansion. Although, I'm not sure why the sandbox save I used to troubleshoot had the same issue, even though I had uninstalled the tooltip mod beforehand.
Not a spell, a limit to the stress generated. https://itch.io/post/1090470
I've posted under it some fixes to the fix that are needed.
That limits it some, but the next version (which is coming but a series of sicknesses, deaths, job craziness, and breaking the game attempting to build a whole new area has delayed) will address that far better.
Without too much detail, it’ll break down growth into Temporary for pregnant slaves vs Permanent/hyper growth & hyper-lactation for trained cattle. Should provide a happy medium to both sides of the “expanding slaves” and “usable slaves” aisle.
Damn, didn't realize how much you had going on in your life right now (I just figured you were generally busy)... hope you're doing alright, especially given "deaths" being included :|
As far as pregnant slaves' boobs, I hope it'll also be a little less extreme? Most women just gain a few sizes while pregnant IRL. Though (regarding it being temporary) they don't always lose all of them afterward, either - you could make them have a maybe 30% chance of ending the decrease a single size bigger than they were to begin with.
I’m glad you’re hyped! I don’t have an ETA yet. 2020 has been a rush of work and some serious life stuff, but it seems like it’s calming down a bit for me to hopefully get back into finishing the update.
I will hopefully post something soon with an update on the progress if I can make some progress this week.
I do! I use even some of my custom art and gimp edited images to match colours. But even then, this game is too promising. Actually I am discussing with my gf (we are both artist) to start a project to complete this game with art and more events/scenes/custom npc. Would be so great. But its just an idea, for now XD
Its a bug. There is currently no reliable way for them to be ok with it if you have their consent (except sometimes randomly), and I think the "sometimes randomly" happens specificaly when you DONT have consent. You can easily edit them to be ok with the baby by editing save files. Open the save file (go to your saves ingame and choose "Open Folder" to easily find their location) in Notepad++ or something similar, then find the slave by searching their first name and from their name find the next instance of "wantedpregnancy" . Change "wantedpregnancy":false to "wantedpregnancy":true AFTER they become pregnant. If you try to do it before, the bug will overwrite it back to false. A bit tedious, but it works as a workaround untill Aric gets us the next version that hopefuly fixes this and the balloonlike expansion of breasts.
First of all, thanks for this great mod, I've just discovered it and I find it exceptional! <3 <3 <3
However, I had a little question about the movement. I just captured a fairy to be a nurse and a dryad for forage. When I captured them, in the "wild" state, one could fly and one could walk. Now both are crawling.
Example for Dryad:
I saw that it could be the size of the breasts (impossible for my dryad), a rules or a "restraints".
Where do you find these last two options? I wish she could go forage but I can't pick the option because she's crawling.
I'm sorry if the question has already been asked, I couldn't find anything in this long topic.
Thanks in advance !
If you used handcuffs on her as I recall there is a bug that makes the handcuff effect permanent, even if you remove the cuffs. I dont usually use them so I havent ran into this bug myself. I can tell from the picture that its not her brest size, nor anything else obvious like no energy or negative str. The only other thing I can think of is if she has the pet harness? If not then its the handcuff bug. Ill see if I can do some save editing magic to remove the effect if/when I can replicate it myself, but from what I remember there was no fix for this when it was being discussed here. Restoring an earlier save without handcuffs may be the only option. If you havent used handcuffs on them and this is some other random bug, a bit of save editing should do the trick to return them to normal.
Well, I managed to find a save editing solution to this problem after all.
Permanent crawling because of handcuffs fix with save editing:
Remove handcuffs ingame from the slave if they still have them, then save. Open the save in notepad++ or some other text editing software. Find the first name of the slave that has permanent crawling, search the next instance of "restrained": and replace "restrained":"cuffed" with "restrained":"none".
When I loaded the save, the game automaticaly detected that this slave should not be crawling and changed back to normal.
I think I found a bug in the farm. Not game breaking but a code mistake. While trying to fix a parse error (One that I did while playing with fire on the scripts trying to make a compatibility patch) I found something quite interesting. At mansion.gd:
At the else, I presume that chefhelped should be false (since chefmod should be 0). Idk if you have noticed it yet. Also, at gold generation (at the end) I added a 1/10 modifier since I think wining 1000 gold per milking slave was a bit too much. I dont know if it was intended or it was another bug but anyway I posted it here in case it helps you. Keep your great work!
Edit: Ignore the obvious parse error on milkproduced, that was the one I was looking for :D
The mod is really good and improves on the game's general experience, i was excited about the incest thing, but when i tested it (with both sister and daughter) i felt it still needs work around it.
Btw, for some reason, the default name that any of your daughters calls you is "Son", sure you can change that with no problems, just wanted to point it out.
Also, something that people already adressed here and i'd like to adress too, is the issue with breast increase and lactation post-pregnancy
As you can see in the image, its clearly broken, Lol
And also, no matter how long u wait, lactation simply wont stop, and i couldnt find a way to, and breasts sometimes wont reduce at all, i used potions to reduce them but they grew back on the next day, and i tried again and they stayed small.
Still didnt test the dark crystal yet tho...
In the end... Amazing mod! I'd really hope if you keep working on it and fix the bugs! Really excited to see the Jail interaction on possible later patches :)
Not sure what i did wrong, but when I tried to apply the mods with what I thought were compatible mods I am no longer able to start a new game and the game doesnt look like it is detecting any of the mods I downloaded
Edit: It looks like there was an error when I was inserting the lactation spell fix into the mods spell file and I was able to initialize a game
