Ever wished your best colonists could live on across multiple playthroughs? Ketaros Veterans makes that possible.
This mod lets you export your current colonists to a shared pool, then have them show up in future games through natural in-game events. Your experienced survivors can reappear as wanderers seeking a new home, wild men living off the land, wounded refugees in need of rescue, prisoners awaiting liberation, or even desperate souls fleeing from hostile raiders.
Inspiration
This mod is a direct inspiration from the mod [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1718390789]VeteranColonists[/url] from [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198044599324]Udon[/url], not-updated for sometime. I went in to update it, and started fixing a bunch of problems and adding a lot of new features, making life to a new mod, but I can't not mention the inspiration and base start for this project.

Skills, traits, backstory, relationships, royal titles, ideology, health conditions, and age are all carried over when a veteran appears in a new game.
Getting Started
