Ask To Join Mod

Updated 1.5 and 1.6

Ever wished your colonists could just ask a visiting friend or family member to stay? Now you can!

The Ask To Join Mod adds a new social interaction that allows your colonists to ask visitors to join your faction. The chance of success is based on social relationships and opinions, adding a new layer of immersion to your colony’s story.

How It Works

• The Option: The “Ask to join” interaction appears on relatives, lovers, or friends. The option is always available for family members, but requires a positive opinion from your colonist for friends and lovers.
• The Chance: The target’s decision is based on their opinion of your colonist.
  • Friends: Have a fixed 50% chance to accept.
  • Relatives & Lovers: Follow the probability table below.
• Consequences: Accepted requests grant a mood buff, while rejections cause a mood debuff that varies depending on the relationship.
• Exclusions: The option will not appear on your own colonists, prisoners, slaves, traders, hostile or downed pawns, and Wild Men.
