Multiple loadouts for a single pawnkind not possible?

[FoxtrotGH]

I'm trying to get a certain pawnkind to be able to select between two outfits and weapon sets. What I've done is to make each outfit into their own pool and weight each of them to 100% so that when the pool is selected they're guaranteed to spawn.

For reference, these are the apparel sets I've assigned to pools 1 and 2, respectively.

I thought that this would result in the pawnkind being able to spawn with one of two loadouts. However, they always spawn with only parts of the pool equipped, or even mixed and matched. I made sure to tick "force only selected" and I've also tried to increase the apparel value to very high numbers. The following image shows the pawn wearing an armor piece from pool 2 and the scarf from pool 1

They're still able to equip the full set if I changed the selection mode to "always picked". Did I misunderstand what "pools" meant in the options or did I do something wrong? Please advise.

Sorry it took me a while to look into this, had some family issues so didn't have my PC to hand to check. Answer is that indeed you've (quite reasonably!) misunderstood pools.

What actually happens is as follows a pawn will spawn with:

• Every item listed as always picked
• Any items listed as Random chance to be picked are all rolled for individually, so you may get between 0 and all of them.
• 1 random item from Pool 1, the item chosen will be determined by the weight or zero if no items in pool 1
• 1 random item from Pool 2, the item chosen will be determined by the weight or zero if no items in pool 2
• 1 random item from Pool 3, the item chosen will be determined by the weight or zero if no items in pool 3
• 1 random item from Pool 4, the item chosen will be determined by the weight or zero if no items in pool 4

This thing could do with some better docs couldn't it...

As such, no it's not currently possible to force one of several outfits. I'd have to add "outfit 1", "outfit 2" etc as more options to support this.

Though I will say there's kind of a way to do this. TC allows you to edit pawn kinds individually. Raid groups/ trader groups etc are made up of sets of pawn kinds so for example you might have a faction which has both mercenary gunner and mercenary elite. If you set a specific outfit for gunner and elite respectively then if you got a raid with those two types of pawn you'd have your desired one of two loadouts. So within a pawn kind, you can't but by configuring the pawn kinds separately you absolutely can do it.

I see, thank you very much!
