A Powerful Faction Editor
Tired of tribal guys having crappy gear?
Edit the faction trade Inventory？
Have a sandbox battle with mod gear?
Compress raid size and increase per-unit raid points?
Spawn a friendly settlement near your base?
Customize a realistic US Marine faction?
yc's Faction Editor makes all this possible and easy to change!
This mod allows you to deeply customize the gear, generation logic of any faction and any pawn kind in real-time within the game, and save it.
✨ Features
🎯 Pawn Kind & Gear Editing
- Precise Control: Not just for factions, you can precisely control down to the specific pawn kind.
- Group Control: Caravan groups, combat groups, settlement groups... Edit the spawned pawns and gear as you wish, even add mechanoid bosses and animals? Try it in the group settings.
- Tons of Options: Edit gear, modify trade inventory, elite raid compression, xenotype probability, health status, traits, genes, appearance, and more deeply customizable options.
- Real-time Preview: No need for dev commands to check modified spawn groups, preview with one click.
⚔️ Item Customization
- Forced Gear: Specify weapons that a pawn kind must carry.
- Material & Quality: Set weapon material (e.g., plasteel, uranium) and quality (e.g., excellent, legendary).
- Biocoding: Set the probability of weapons being biocoded, preventing easy looting by players.
⚔️ Full Faction Customization
- Create New Faction: Build a new faction based on existing templates, with support for manually adding settlements on the map.
- Modify Faction: Name, description, icon, goodwill, ideoligion, xenotype, etc.
- Save Faction: After saving, new saves can directly load it just like exported pawn saves from character editors.
🛠️ Powerful In-Game Editor
- Easy to Use: All operations are done in-game through a modern enhanced UI.
- Advanced Filtering: Filter items by mod source (e.g., show only "Vanilla Expanded" series gear), with filters like tech level, damage value, to quickly pinpoint target equipment.
- Preset Management & Sharing: Save your configuration as a preset, support exporting to share with friends, or seamlessly migrate between different saves. (Possible bugs, testing in progress)
- Copy & Paste: Copy configurations between different pawn kinds for rapid batch application.
💡 Inspiration
This mod is inspired by the classic Total Control.

⚠️ FAQ
Q: Is it compatible with CE?
A: Fully compatible. You can even replace gear for factions that have incompatible CE equipment to achieve CE compatibility.
Q: Does it support mod factions?
A: Theoretically, yes.
Q: Can I add new pawn kind types to a faction?
A: Due to some code limitations, directly adding new pawn kind Defs is not safe. However, you can achieve a similar effect: Go to "Faction Editor → Faction Groups", select a group (e.g., "Combat Team #1"), and add non-faction characters / mechanoids / animals. Raids will spawn from the pawn pool you set here.
Q: Will this affect already existing units?
A: No. Changes only affect
newly spawned
units (e.g., new raids, aids, or caravans).
Q: Can I add it mid-save?
A: No problem.
Q: Is it compatible with Simple Sidearms?
A: Yes. And NPCs can Auto-Switch Weapon by Distance.
Q: What happens if I uninstall the mod?
A: It's safe.
