Tempting Tides

---

This mod expands on Lustful Void with playstyle paths and various extra content, including traditions, federations, agendas, etc. It might be quite unstable so far as I haven't had time to play around with it.

 

I've gotten a grasp of what's possible and provided a taste of what to expect. Future major updates will be much less frequent while hopefully containing more content. I will maintain current versions as often as necessary.

Suggested mods:

Some of the following mods have content integrated in Tempting Tides. Load in any order after LV (w/ or w/o optionals).

• Calcifire's Sex Rights
• Calcifire's Trait Pack
• LV additional things

Please do provide feedback about any bugs and if I need to balance some values.

The artwork is from a variety of artists and quite temporary. I would be grateful for anyone willing to lend a hand on graphical content and/or directions.

Please continue.  More LV related agendas would also be very nice. Also, add a Sexologist council position that can replace the head researcher.

[Railgunner2160]

Enjoying the mod, though what the heck is the Civic's tooltip supposed to say for those of us who don't read or understand latin?

 

Edit: are the lvtt_scripted_effects and lvtt_scripted_modifier files supposed to be empty?

more please!

[walear]

the Concubine Capital/world thing about replacing Clerks doesnt seam to be working

[Railgunner2160]

Minor bug I've noticed: The Sex Studies scientist trait is missing the trait name, trait icon, and it looks like a minor issue with the localization as it is displaying as 'lvtt_sexstudies' rather than I assume 'Sex Studies'.

[truejolle]

great mod   .. building_lvtt_lust_gardens_3 is missing in the localisation files

Thanks for the tip, I will look into that.

The latin is from a placeholder generator 

I have some files that has been used for testing and will probably be used sooner or later. I think there might be some effects and modifiers in v.1.2.

Some tooltips and descriptions is outdated. I might do a hotfix with updated localization as this is quite misleading.

This should be fixed by now.

This is fixed but might change as the descriptions is just copy pasta between the tiers

Bug: Congubinage tradition requires lustfull affiliates tech however the tech requires you to adopt the tradition for it to become available for research

[Nightengale__]

Two things i've noticed: Despite Concubine foundation saying it starts you with Lustful Affiliates, It doesn't seem to be the case?
And

Whenever a madame job is being worked, it keeps trying to 'shuffle' the workers, leading to a bunch of pops being shuffled around constantly- Keeps promoting pops to specialist, kicking them out the job, pulling up another pop, etc etc.

Edit: My modlist is pretty heavy, and im hunting for the conflict that might cause it just incase its a mod conflict- but i just wanted to let you know just in case.

I'm also running into this + weirdness where my food monthly trades are just not being processed (e.g. sometimes the trade just... stops for the month).

 

Rolling back to 1.1 the madame behaviour still seems to happen once the jobs are in (I console'd the tech in to test) - it's actually shuffling pops in/out of the madame job itself, from the look of it, so it could just need some tuning on the eligibility check or logic. I'm not sure if something about being in the job is causing other pops to be rated as a better fit, but yeah, something messy there for sure.

 

Since rolling back, I haven't run afoul of the trade weirdness. That one could be a conflict somewhere but I have no idea how/where since I can't see anything that should be affecting this in the mod.

Nasty breaking bug. Thanks for the heads up. This is fixed in v.1.2b. Have reverted back to Concubinage requiring lustful affiliates as intended from the beginning which was also the reason of giving the tech from civic.

Concubine Foundation now correctly provides the Lustful Affiliates from start.

I tested the job problem. In my case it doesn't matter whether I have a madame or not. When I force filled my 6 concubine jobs and then removed the forced jobs I automatically went down to 5 and I a farmer was added as my food consumption is negative. I ran a couple of months and every month 1-2 concubines was moved to miner and farmer until I got positive numbers. I think this is correct according to standard gameplay with job weights as concubines ain't cool enough until other resources are taken care of. Also my unity was pretty high. My madame jobs though won't get added until most workers are filled and they won't get fired so no extra pops getting raised to specialist. I will keep a lookout though because I only tested with building lusful gardens exlusively with no other worker/specialist buildings.

The production values in the top bar only updates every month and as I mentioned above the switching applies at these monthly updates. As for madames I will keep my eyes open. It's weird because I've not touched the madame for a while

 

Thanks all for the feedback everyone.

Are you using Calcifire's Sex Rights? I tried to run without it and the jobs didn't switch like before. Sex Rights overwrites LV jobs and is not updated with the new weighting system in LV 0.7.5.

Edit: New weighting system in LV 0.7.6.

Have similar problem, job constant shifting, (sex right mod is disabled), and now my council ios full of "?" mark.

[Nightengale__]

Yeah for me, no sex rights or anything like that- but whenever the madam job gets filled, it would boot that pop off the job (making them unemployed) and then pull up a worker pop. This was only with the madame i got from the job replacement that the civic adds. The real issue comes after because it pulls *All* my worker class citizens off their jobs, sometimes tehy pop back on and then pop off again- it marks them all as 'unemployed' and leaves all the jobs empty. Im not quite sure whats really causing that *mess*.

 

that was the old version of this mod, Im just downloading the new version of the mod and ill see if the issue persists. the only *major* mods I have are gigastructural and LV, but that shouldn't really be too bad.

[Railgunner2160]

Minor/Major Bug: The mod seems to be causing issues with the council view, not only is the background showing up as a question mark but also almost all or possible all the icons are question marks as well. Renaming the file to your 'lvtt_' prefix seems to have solved the issue.

Yeah just noticed that issue myself- how did you fix it?

Edit: I also have an issue with some of the techs just being.. unable to finish? there was one that improved envoy's that i got to 2749 out of 2750 and it just wouldn't finish?

Edited April 1 by Nightengale__

[Railgunner2160]

go into the Interface folder and rename the 'council_view.gfx' file to say 'lvtt_council_view.gfx'. That should solve the issue, it's a overwrite rather than amend issue since it's using the default file name rather than a customized one.

[printit]

I just realized that some of the releases I uploaded was not the actual release versions but version including my work in progress 🤦‍♂️
I will correct this. Will also put all effort into the madame issue. But I might need more information about your mod lists as my pops won't get fired from nor upgraded to madame.

 

Edit: v.1.2a and v.1.2b has been corrected and reuploaded

 

Edit: If anyone can reproduce the madame problem on v.1.2b and tell me their load order I would be grateful. Any extra information about selected civics, other non-vanilla jobs, etc. is helpful.

 

Here's my load order that seems to work

1. Lustful Void 0.7.6
2. LV Base Game Overwrites 0.7.6
3. LV Balance Patch 0.7.6
4. LV Tempting Tides v.1.2b

 

I also tried this load order without the annoying madame bug. Worker pops slowly switching to farmer and miner with Sex Rights.

1. Lustful Void 0.7.6
2. LV Base Game Overwrites 0.7.6
3. LV Balance Patch 0.7.6
4. Citizen's Sex Rights
5. Calcifire's Trait Pack
6. LV additional things
7. LV Tempting Tides v.1.2b

Minor bug.

description for Concubine Foundation didn't work for me, changing encoding of "lvtt_common_l_english" from CTF-8 to CTF-8 with BOM, made it work again. it was CTF-8 with BOM in earlier version i tried. and other YML files was saved in CTF-8 with BOM.

 

Edit: is the tantric stuff supposed to be only for spiritualists? if so, maybe should hide the tradition for all others?
