[b]Why waste lives when you can just pay to make the problem go away?
Adds a realistic extortion mechanic to RimWorld. When a raid is imminent, hostile human factions will offer a "protection fee" based on your wealth. Pay to be left alone, or refuse and prepare for battle.[/b]

Features
[list]
[*] [b]Raid Interception:[/b]
Most human-like raids (including quest-related ones and those from mods) will demand tribute before attacking.
[*] [b]Dynamic Pricing:[/b]
Fees scale with raid intensity and your total wealth—the bigger the threat, the higher the price.
[*] [b]Flexible Payment:[/b]
Pay with silver or barter using any items, resources, animals, slaves, and prisoners on your map.
[*] [b]Custom Demand Policies:[/b]
Lets you customize which payment items a faction accepts—such as disabling junk payments—and allows different factions to have unique needs.
[*] [b]Strategic Choice:[/b]
Buy time when you're vulnerable, or fight to keep your wealth.
[*] [b]Human-like Only:[/b]
Mechanoids and insects don't negotiate—this only applies to human threats.
[*] [b]Double-cross (Default: Disabled):[/b]
There is a chance they will take the fee and raid anyway.
[*] [b]Performance Friendly:[/b]
Extremely lightweight. Logic only runs at the moment a raid triggers.

Why was this made?
Designed for players who prefer a non-combat focus or those caught at a vulnerable moment. It adds immersion—smart raiders should logically prefer easy loot over a bloody shootout.

While I’ve tested this thoroughly, raids involve many systems and events. If you encounter any issues, your feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

FAQ
[b]Q: Can I add/remove it mid-game?[/b]
A: Yes, you can add or remove it at any time.
[b]Q: How is the protection fee different from VFE-Settlers?[/b]
A: VFE-Settlers adds a specific new event that only accepts Silver. This mod covers most humanoid raids—including those from other mods—and allows payment with any resource.
[b]Q: How is the protection fee calculated?[/b]
A: It starts as low as 100 Silver. As raid points increase, the cost scales toward a percentage of your non-building wealth (default max is 20%, but you can adjust this in the settings).
The math follows a quadratic curve, meaning fees grow slowly in the early game but ramp up significantly as the threat level rises. These percentage ranges are fully customizable in the mod settings.
