Social Compatibility for 1-2-3 Personalities

A simple addon for 1-2-3 Personalities M2. Makes pawns like or dislike each other more often, depending on their personality types.

RimWorld features a hidden "social compatibility score" between pawns. This is based on a random number as well as relative ages. This compatibility score makes positive or negative social interactions more likely between certain pawns.

What this mod does is add a configurable modifier to this score, based on how "harmonious" pawn's personalities are with one another as defined by 1-2-3 Personalities. Pawns with matching and "compatible" personalities are naturally predisposed to like each other more, but they will be more likely to have a negative opinion of pawns with conflicting personality types. We can't always get along!

This was most likely supposed to be a feature in 1-2-3 Personalities M3, but it seems that that mod might take some time to come out (if at all), so in the meantime I made this mod to patch in that little feature.

This mod does not add flat positive or negative opinions. Rather, it alters the base game systems so that social interactions are skewed towards positive or negative more often.

The values are fully customizable in the mod options for all 3 compatibility types:

• Harmonious: large bonus
  
• Complementary: small bonus
  
• Disparate: medium penalty

I recommend keeping the values somewhere between -1.0 and 1.0, but you can go higher or lower if you want these bonuses to be very small or extremely impactful. By default, the impact of Rimworld's random "compatibility" is between -0.7 and +1.7 so I recommend keeping the values small.

Note that Rimworld's own random offsets on pawn compatibility also still apply. You can remove this in the mod options if you want full control and more predictability, using the "Ignore Random Compatibility" setting. I think it's better to leave this setting disabled, as this extra randomness makes things a little less predictable and allows your colonists to sometimes still find common ground and get along.

Should be compatible with nearly every mod, including Vanilla Social Interactions Expanded. Probably incompatible with Psychology.

Load after 1-2-3 Personalities M2 (obviously). Should work with the "alternative" personality type mods released by the author (such as alignments and weeb archetypes), but make sure to load this mod after those too.
