Desynchronized: Tales and News Mod

Author of the Desynchronized: Tales and News Mod: mlie

Desynchronized: Tales and News Mod overhauls how information spreads between colonists, making reactions more realistic and less omniscient. Events are no longer instantly known by everyone on the map; instead, news travels gradually through conversations and proximity.

Desynchronized: Tales and News Features

Realistic Information Spread

  • Localized awareness: Optional setting where only pawns in the same room or within range and sight of an outdoor event know about it instantly.
  • Gradual news sharing: Colonists spread information during chats and social interactions.
  • Importance weighting: Pawns may consider certain events more important and are more likely to share them.
  • No off-map omniscience: Colonists generally do not react to events happening on other maps.

Extended News Support

  • Butchered Humanoid news: Added support for related events.
  • Trait Value support: Integrates trait-based considerations into the system.

Project Background

  • Continuation of ClosedDoors by MoobyNooby.
  • Designed to create natural desynchronization of understanding between colonists.
