I made a video about this mod check it out!

[M07]

I have a question,

I have two mod about portrait: Another Portrait Pack and Another Portrait Pack -ReWork-. They were both installed before Nexerlin. But the thing is, I can choose any portrait I want when I start a new game, but every faction I encountered have only the default portrait.

What can I do to randomize the portrait in other faction IN nexerelin? Because It worked fine before I install Nexerelin.

It's not really immersive when three people look the same in the same station haha

Nex doesn't touch portraits.

Another Portrait Pack and the ReWork edition both only modify vanilla factions, so make sure you're checking those. Also, if you're running Archean Order, I'd expect that to overwrite the faction files and thus the portrait definitions. Other than that, I can't say what might be going on.

Okay I understand thank you.

I dont have Archean Order, but I've try to check where I can modify in the script and the game crash because I dont know how to write those commands. Do I have to add new data for the mod the faction that I added?

Because in the data it have all the vanilla faction only

But the point I was saying it before I install Nexerelin, all faction have moded portrait and vanilla portrait. Now only vanilla faction have the portrait mod, so do I have to create new data for the new faction? if so, how?

Oh, nice, someone did a video guide. I left some comments on your vid

Currently though, I've got a standard playthrough going, tri-tach cooperative and expansion playstyle. I'm running into an annoying bug, a bug as I see it. Hegemony pickets are attacking Skathi. It has a low tech orbital station. When the pickets are engaged in battle, I click on them to join battle, but I keep getting the message that the orbital station is letting them go and I can only leave the dialogue. The pickets then fly around a bit but keep coming back to the station and the station is apparently letting them go each time I try to engage the pickets while they are engaged with the station.

I thought that issue was fixed in Starsector 0.9.1 release, but I checked the changelog and they only "may now pursue". I'll make some suggestions to Alex for properly fixing this later.

Look in the data/world/factions subfolders of the portrait pack mods for examples of how portraits are specified in .faction files.
The quick way to add portraits for a new faction: Copy one of the files for a vanilla faction in the pack, then rename it to have the same name as the base .faction file of the mod faction.

(Seeing new portraits for other mod factions shouldn't have happened, with or without Nex. Possibly this was with older version(s) of the portrait packs that modified mod factions as well?)

It only happens when using the random sector mode - the game starts just fine when using the standardized core worlds. For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain the crash is related to one of the other mods I updated or added for this latest play-through (since everything was working fine beforehand). Unfortunately, I just updated about a dozen mods and added almost a dozen other mods that I've never used before (either because they're pretty new or because they were only recently updated to support the latest version of the game). It's going to take me a bit of time to narrow down which other mod(s) are involved, but I wanted to give you a quick heads-up in the meantime...

[RedHellion]

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned somewhere in the depths of this mod thread, but does Nexerelin add any diplomatic means to get blueprints from friendly factions? Is there an agent action to steal blueprints from a faction, or a way to bribe faction officials for blueprints when you're at high rep with them? Most faction's don't actually sell any of their blueprints, even at their military markets.

I'm currently allied with a faction and I want to be able to produce their ships/weapons for myself, without having to try to sneakily raid their border colonies or outright go to war with them. Prism Freeport's blueprint exchange program is useful, but has yet to offer any of the blueprints I'm looking for from this specific faction.

[lollypopalopicus]

So, what do I use agents for, and how?

[Daynen]

So, what do I use agents for, and how?

Go to your intel screen "E" and look for them in the bottom half.  You'll find their menus there.  Once you send them to a location to affect the faction you want, you can pay them to do clandestine stuff like affecting relations and sabotaging things.  Experiment.

Are you running Galaxy Tigers? Someone else had this issue and that's the mod I identified (there may be others though).

Quick local fix, I'll contact KnightOfTigers with the details later (and do some stuff on Nex's end, but that's not coming out for some time yet):

Spoiler

Remove line 133 of Galaxy Tigers Faction/data/config/exerelinFactionConfig/galaxytigers.json
specifically, the {"id":"highcommand", "mult":2},

Optional but recommended: Comment out the {"id":"heavyindustry", "mult":2}, above it and reduce the mult in {"id":"orbitalworks", "mult":1.5}, to something sensible like 0.15
Otherwise almost every market the Tigers start with will have orbital works, instead of just one or two.

There isn't such a method at present, sorry!

I've considered allowing agents to steal blueprints, but haven't wanted to implement such a thing because I'm against having a method of directly converting Infinite Colony Income to blueprints (at least with raiding you have to work for it).
A way to exchange reputation for blueprints (or a more complex rewards system of some kind) sounds nice, I'll look at it sometime down the road.

Yes, it was the Galaxy Tigers mod that was causing my issue. In fact, I was just getting ready to update my post with that info when I discovered your response. However, I hadn't been able to figure out why the mod was actually causing a problem, so thanks for letting me know about the quick fix.

Thanks for the reply! I understand wanting to avoid creating even more game unbalancing with the inevitable Infinite Colony Income issues. Whether it's trading rep for blueprints, or bribing officials, or using agents to steal blueprints (since I would imagine blueprints are pretty rare and factions might not be willing to part with what few spares they have), or something else; I just think it would be cool to have a peaceful way to gain blueprints from factions you're allied with, to complement the existing mechanics for raiding blueprints from factions you don't mind being hostile with.

Just a note that if you enable Prism Freeport (or use Console Commands to run the code to spawn it; don't have it on hand, had to Google it last time), the head bureaucrat of the station in the comms menu will trade blueprints with you. You can turn in blueprints and blueprint packages for points and it has a rolling selection of blueprints to buy with points.

A separate question; is there a config that determines likelihood of saturation bombardments? This current game I'm playing is about 5 cycles in and there's been maybe two locations captured and six or seven stations bombarded into uselessness, mostly by the Imperium. I'd kinda like to disable them to keep the sector from going dark since I'm not one of those nutters that takes over the whole place myself.

Thanks for the tip, but I know Unfortunately they only seem to have like 10 for trade at a time, at least last time I swung by the station. Also, since I'm playing with a decent number of faction mods, the odds of the couple of blueprints I want from the faction I'm allied with showing up there seem to be pretty low. Plus I'm not sure how often that list of blueprints for trade refreshes, or if you trade in more blueprints you get a bigger list of trades to choose from.

I know the independent faction isn't really unified, I do like the idea of them going out and doing *** together like if a faction is bullying them too much.

Is it possible to have the indies make colonies and launch invasion fleets?

[Histidine]

Is it possible to have the indies make colonies and launch invasion fleets?

In Nexerelin/data/config/exerelinFactionConfig/independent.json:

Invasions: Set playableFaction to true*
Colonies: Add a line "colonyExpeditionChance":1 (can change the number to change the chance of them getting picked to found a new colony)

*This should make independents generally behave like other factions, but they're hardcoded in some parts of Nex so no guarantees that everything will work the same.

[Kyatzli]

Is it possible to change the legality of things in invaded markets?
For example, change Recreational Drugs to legal/illegal?

Also wondering about changing player faction alignment.
