Hospitality: Determining frequency of visits per faction and influencing it for modded faction #626

Open Euphoric opened 2 years ago

Euphoric commented 2 years ago

I'm wondering if it is possible to determine frequency at which specific faction initiates visits. I've tried to read the code, but there isn't anything obvious. Only thing I can tell that factions that have closest settlement have higher chance and that royal titles also play a role.

For example, in my current game, I'm getting visited by The Empire every few days. But a custom faction I've added does not visit me at all, despite having settlement closer than empire. Should I be looking for some specific logs?

I would also like to know if it possible to change frequency of visits for custom-made faction. Maybe even change it if they are neutral/allies.

The way it works right now is that if you add a faction mid game, you have to either get very lucky, or just invite them with the Comms Console. If you want to see less of a faction, send them away.

No. This faction has been there from the start of the game. And I'm seeing them a lot less compared to the empire or some primitive tribes.

As for seeing the faction less. What I'm talking about is if I want to create a mod that adds custom faction I want to make it something like "This faction doesn't like to interact with outsiders, so it won't come for visit often, if at all."

Yeah, visit frequency is determined by the distance of their closest base.

I could factor Ideology in, like how open they are for other cultures. Although I don't think many players will understand or notice that link.
