When the empire stopped caring about rogue casters and weapon users, neuroformers became unbuyable.

I've never been offered one in my colony, though it might be some subtle mod interaction or the colony being started a while ago (before mechs stopped giving components). Maybe they're just really rare -- I've seen one vanometric power cell and one infinite chemfuel reactor in all that time.

So, has anyone seen one as a quest reward in the last couple of months?

They should appear as quest rewards on a regular basis (about 40 days apart). Though this is hard to test and it's possible there's a problem with this.

Can anyone confirm not ever seeing them as a quest reward, while also not using anima tree and not getting titles?

I never see them in a 3 years colony. Only quests with royal favor reward. (Running 1.1)

The quest will only state the favor as reward and if I accept it with pawns who has yet to reach a favor threshold, the neuroformer will be sent after finishing quest.

I don't think I ever see only item as a reward. No titles and anima tree.

Thanks. That sounds fine, if you were getting titles and thus neuroformers (in 1.1).

I have never seen a neuroformer reward outside of the initial one given in the introductory quest set (save royal pawn from manhunting animal).

Also, on my old play through of a 1.1 game In the unstable patch last week, all pawns who had an existing title did not receive a Bestower quest when ranking up. I waited for about two years for it to occur. Rank ups were achieved via questing rewards.

I was able to fix this by using Dev Mode to demote then re-promote them to their proper ranks. This did unfortunately result in one of my Countesses only receiving one permit points instead of the usual three. I have since not had issues with any colonists ranking up in the same save or in other saves.

Thanks. Yeah you wouldn't expect neuroformer rewards if you're getting psylinks through titles.
I'm gonna ask /u/pheanox to help us look into that other issue though. There may be a back-compatibility bug.

How long should it take to appear after clearing the deserter's quest ? My current colony of 2 years with a wealth of 20.000 never saw one as a quest reward, is enemy with the empire, have done the rebel quest (more than one year ago) and is not tribal. I tried to generate roughly 500 quest with 10.000 points with the dev mode, and no psychic amplifier ever appeared

About 40 days. If you're not getting psylinks by any route at all, and you were on the latest 1.1 or 1.2, you should be pretty much guaranteed to see psylink neuroformer quest rewards. If you're not, it would be a bug - is that what you're seeing?

I will treasure your reply as my heirloom. I love your game so much.

Have another one!

But hey seriously, I definitely appreciate the props. If you want to do me a micro-favor don't hesitate to drop a Steam review for Royalty. Almost nobody reviews DLCs so it looks lonely! Steam link

That's what I'm seeing, yes, it have been more than 120 days since the last psylink neuroformer I got which was with the deserter quest (and thus more than 60 since the supposed deadline of this quest). I started this colony on 1.2. If you want to I can try and grab some values with the dev tools.

We actually confirmed a bug like this thanks! We'll be fixing it and releasing a quick update soon.
