No idea, you should ask whoever is managing Cherry Picker now
Wemijei 6 Jun @ 5:22am 
is there a reason why some of the passions don't show up on cherry picker? same story for expertises. I do want to filter them but I can't. they are too stacked with VE Skills and some of them don't work with my mods anyway

Trapper expertise (modifies damage for traps built)

Sanity expertise (Vanilla Insanity Expanded)

Every weapon
Lattekahvi 13 May @ 9:20am 
how does the firestarter exactly work, does it work with every weapon or do you need incendiary weapon for it to work?
Deankiller Turnupseed 12 May @ 1:19pm 
can you make those extremely rare? or include options to make them appear less often

Additionally, as a separate balance question. I'm not sure how often you expect a pawn to naturally generate with more than one synergistic/critical/obsessive passion. Currently they seem to be multiplicative with each other. so a synergistic and an obsessive passion result in 1.1*.9 = .99 final modifier for other skills. or critical + synergistic give 0.275 for skills other than the critical or synergistic. Would it be possible to have an option to have these combinations for "other skills effects" calculated additively, before being applied multiplicatively against the rest of the modifiers?
Dervalanana 9 May @ 1:08pm 
Regarding the "synergistic" passion. Initially it looked like multiple synergistic passions from two+ skills can impact a third skill skill (expected), but only if that third skill has no passion itself (unexpected), even other synergistic passions.

After diving in a bit, it looks like the "impacting other skills" behavior you implemented is tied to the same "Critical affects passions" toggle from VSE. I'm guessing the same also goes for "obsessive" passions

Is there any plan to later separate the configuration, such that "synergistic", "dedicated", and "critical" can individually be toggled to affect other skills with a passion? 1/2
