Historian mod?
« on: October 09, 2021, 06:55:52 PM »
I really like the historian added in 0.95 but find it really tedious having to track him down by randomly checking bars. I checked the mod index and did some googling but couldn't find any mods which help.

I even did some digging in the game files and the closest I got to finding the historian was "campaign.missions.BlueprintIntel" in bar events. I tried messing with the numbers but I have basically no modding experience and nothing seemed to work.

Is there a mod which make him show up more? Or a mod which lets you force him to spawn (perhaps by a colony building or by spending story points)? Or is changing random NPCs behavior not really a thing?

You'll want to replace HistorianBarEvent and HistorianBarEventCreator (though the first isn't strictly needed).
(instructions on how to make a mod to do this not provided)

Bar event creators have a getBarEventFrequencyWeight() method you can override to change their frequency. HistorianBarEvent also has a hardcoded thing in its shouldShowAtMarket method where it has a 50% chance to not appear, so you can remove that.
