[PS] Reconditioning Pod Mod

The [PS] Reconditioning Pod Mod introduces advanced personality alteration technology, allowing you to add, remove or swap traits through a specialized Plasteel Surgery Reconditioning Pod.

[PS] Reconditioning Pod Features

The [PS] Reconditioning Pod Mod expands trait management with a full conditioning system, maintenance mechanics and permanent neural modification options.

Core functionality

• Add: Adds a new trait (can exceed the vanilla 3-trait limit).
• Remove: Removes an existing trait.
• Change: Swaps a trait for another within the same spectrum (e.g. Lazy to Hard Worker).
• Pods become biometrically linked to a pawn after first use.
• All pawn needs are frozen while inside the pod.
• Reconditioning takes one or more days and has a failure chance.

Traits in the Beauty, Immunity, Creepy Breathing and Annoying Voice families cannot be altered by this mod.

Failure and botched conditioning

• Failed attempts cause no change but may result in a botched conditioning.
• Botched conditioning reduces learning speed and movement.
• Botched traits can be fixed using the pod.

Conditioning system

Reconditioning adds a special need with four stages:

• 100%-75% (Fresh): No negative effects.
• 74%-50% (Strong): -3% mental break threshold.
• 49%-25% (Weakened): -10% mental break threshold.
• 24%-1% (Slipping): -20% mental break threshold.
• 0%: Conditioning is lost, traits revert and a mental break triggers.

Base decay rate is 12.5% per day (fails after 8 days without maintenance). Each additional conditioning doubles the decay rate.

Maintenance options

• Pod refresh: Pawns automatically return to their pod below 50% if powered and reachable. Refresh takes ~30 minutes.
• Conditionall: Craftable supplement (5 psychoid leaves + 2 neutroamine) that restores 25% need. Intended for travel or emergencies.
• Neural Cement: Permanent procedure (Medical 15, 20 plasteel, 5 glitterworld medicine). Removes conditioning need permanently but blocks all future reconditioning. Risky surgery.

Additional updates

• Option to configure whether conditioning counts as a bad trait.
• Added support for Trait Value.
• Sorted traits window and added a search bar.
• Should no longer overwrite vanilla definitions.

Compatibility notes

• Can exceed the vanilla 3-trait limit, but additional traits may not display in the UI.
• Conditionall behaves like a drug; adding to existing saves may require checking drug policy settings.

Support and troubleshooting

• Test whether the issue persists with only the [PS] Reconditioning Pod Mod (and required mods) enabled.
• If it disappears, re-enable other mods gradually until the issue returns.
• Post your error log using HugsLib (Ctrl+F12).
• For best support, use the Discord channel for error reporting (discussion threads may be missed).
• If you have the solution for a problem, post it to the GitHub repository.
