mlieHidden Enemy Bio Mod hides the biography details of enemies and prisoners until their resistance drops low enough, making prisoner management and recruitment decisions more uncertain and immersive. Instead of instantly knowing everything about captured raiders, colonists must gradually uncover information as prisoners become more cooperative.
Hidden Enemy Bio Features
The Hidden Enemy Bio Mod modifies the Bio tab so that key information about enemies and prisoners is gradually revealed as their resistance decreases.
- Hidden prisoner information: Skills, traits, and backstories remain hidden until the prisoner becomes more cooperative.
- Gradual discovery: Prisoners slowly reveal personal information as their resistance decreases.
- Configurable thresholds: All reveal values can be adjusted in the mod settings.
- Selective application: Only enemies and prisoners are affected. Colonists, slaves, and friendly characters remain unchanged.
- Gene traits visibility: Traits modified by genes are always shown.
Default reveal thresholds
By default, information is revealed as resistance drops to specific levels.
- Resistance 18: Skills with passions and childhood/adulthood backstories are revealed.
- Resistance 15: Character traits become visible.
- Resistance 10: All skills are revealed.
Because resistance reduction depends on prisoner mood, treating prisoners well can speed up the process of learning more about them.
Compatibility notes
- Bio tab modifications: Mods that also modify the Bio tab may be incompatible.
- Save compatibility: Safe to add or remove from existing saves (backups are recommended).
- RimHUD: The mod does not modify the RimHUD interface. Players should disable skill elements for non-player characters in RimHUD settings to avoid revealing hidden information.
- Compatible mods: Compatible with 1-2-3 Personalities (the extra space setting may need adjustment) and Vanilla Skills Expanded (expertise is revealed once resistance passes the vanilla bio threshold).
- Similar mods: Stranger Danger and Well Met pursue a similar goal and are likely incompatible.
- Translations: Includes Chinese translation by BUyue and Russian translation by Osetrokarasek.
- Known issue: Some skill labels may appear incorrectly when opening a hidden Bio tab. Closing and reopening the tab or switching characters will refresh the display.
