Roebuck's Rimworld Ribbons
Are you tired of your experienced and battle-hardened pawns having nothing to show for victories aside from a few scars and missing limbs? Do you have a pawn that has saved the colony's hide on multiple occasions but no one seems to care? Do your other colonists have no respect for combat veterans and pick social fights with them despite their accomplishments because they a lil ugly? Well look no further!
[b]Roebuck's Rimworld Ribbons[/b] adds multiple ribbons and medals that can be crafted at a dedicated station and then awarded to your pawns!
Features
[list]
[*] Craftable ribbons and medals
[*] Add devices to ribbons to denote multiple awards of the same type
[*] Stackable recognition: pawns that are highly decorated gain increased social opinion from others
[*] Dedicated 'Medals' tab to view a pawn’s current ribbon rack at a glance
[/list]
Compatibility
My current mod list is just shy of 100 and I haven't had any compatibility issues. But there are over 50,000 mods on Steam alone. So if you're experiencing issues with your current stack, drop a comment or start a discussion and I'll see if it's something I can remedy.
Combat Extended is always in my mod list, so this is currently CE compatible (as far as I'm aware). The mod will throw an error on startup if you're [i]not[/i] using CE, since RimWorld won't know what to do each ribbon's "bulk" stat, but you can ignore this. It should run just fine without CE.
Known Issues
Running vanilla right now means you can only have a pawn carry a maximum of (3) ribbons, which is no fun. I'm still trying to figure out if this is hard-coded Vanilla-RimWorld behavior or something I can remedy. If anyone finds a solution before I do, drop a message. In the meantime you'll need to run this with either Combat Extended or another mod that adds expanded pawn inventory, so they can carry more ribbons.
Could this be unbalanced? Well, sure. There's nothing stopping you from just crafting the 'Medal of Honor' equivalent medal and issuing it to all you pawns for a +30 relation boost across the board. But this is an RP mod first and foremost, use your best judgement.
Recommended Mods to Stack
[list]
[*] Combat Extended (for inventory), but it also just makes combat more deadly which has an added benefit of making medals hard-won, and therefore more distinguished.
[*] Non Uno Pinata to keep your pawns from throwing their ribbon rack all over the floor anytime they're downed.
[*] The Museums mod adds display cases that you can use to display the medals earned by pawns that have been killed in action.
[*] Any other mods that make combat injuries less survivable (I like More Injuries, personally). Just makes a pawn with a fat stack of ribbons that much more impressive.

Other Stuff
This mod is built off of GayJ's now defunct "Simple Medals 1.3" mod, albeit HEAVILY modified and enhanced. While the graphics have been updated, new medals have been added, and new mechanics written from scratch, this mod still would likely not have been possible with his initial hard work all those years ago. He's been added as a contributor, but I can't find any of his information to link to on here. So if you're reading this and you're GayJ, drop a message and I'll link to you.
Any issues or anything else, just leave a message and I'll see what I can do!
