Retroliser Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hello, ladies, gentlemen and gentle-duplicants! I am unaware if this particular question has been asked before, but it relates to ones starting duplicants. I have seen scores of people demanding the ability to directly customise the starting traits of their duplicants, so they can craft a perfect start. My query is whether it's within the realms of possibility that Klei, or a modder, can permit the locking in of a particular duplicants identity when picking them at the start. As a prime example, we have noticed that each of the duplicants showcased in the cartoon shorts have their own personalities. We know Liam, the star of Outbreak, was a knowledgeable scientist who discovered the existence of germs, which he promptly allowed to escape his laboratory and cause a mass epidemic of food poisoning. Then there's Meep, the lovable idiot, Stinky, the ever-cheerful cleaner, and Ari, the oblivious lover of Hatches. These three particular duplicants I like to lovingly dub "The Three Idiots" and I have always tried to start my colonies with as many of them as I can. However, there's only so much clicking so that I can get them before my patience runs out. As such, that's why I'm asking if it's possible to lock the appearance of a particular duplicant in the starting selection, such as The Three Idiots, but retain the randomness of the reroll button shuffling their traits around?

crbd115 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 there is a mod called DGSM by Ony. You can customize your starting duplicants in terms of traits, interests, stress reactions, and overjoy reaction. You can also save your starting setup so you can just click load when you start a new colony and it will have that saved selection.

But you can just keep re-rolling the dupes normally until you get the ones you want and then customize from there.

Gurgel Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You can also not roll a Meep at the start, or I would probably be doing that. I make sure I always have a Stinky though, who is going to cook otherwise?

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason as why some dupes arent available from the get go?

Both Meep and Banhi are not awailable from the start, and now they both have thier expansion packs. Coincidence?

Retroliser Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Thank you all for your replies so far! I've just had a look at DGSM, as suggested by crbd115, and, apparently, one of the planned features in the future by Ony is the ability to select which duplicants you start with, in terms of appearance, so that's something I shall be watching with great interest!

Junksteel Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Unfortunately, Meep, Banhi, Liam and Mae can't be picked as initials. Maybe more duplicants are restricted but these are the ones that make me sad.
