Explosive Slave Collar

Explosive Slave Collar

Three ways to discourage unauthorized career changes. Explosive Slave Collar adds three craftable control-collar implants for prisoners and slaves. Each collar watches for prison breaks and, when Ideology is active, slave rebellions. After a short warning countdown, it responds according to the installed model.

Collar models

• Explosive collar — Detonates lethally. The wearer receives a collar-specific death message, while the blast can also damage nearby people, furniture, and structures. A convincing argument for remaining indoors.
• Anesthetic collar — Releases fast-acting anesthetic and renders the wearer unconscious. It carries two doses and can be refilled with industrial medicine after both are spent.
• Shock collar — Temporarily incapacitates the wearer with an electrical discharge. It carries one charge and is reloaded using a reusable shock capacitor.

Features

• Supports ordinary prisoners and Ideology slaves.
• Visible arming notification and live three-second countdown.
• Nonlethal wearers remain prisoners or slaves after recovering.
• Functional collars slow an Ideology slave's suppression loss by up to 7.5 percentage points per day.
• Empty anesthetic and depleted shock collars lose their deterrence effect until reloaded.
• Active payloads affect any wearer's mood: −6 explosive, −3 charged shock, and −2 loaded anesthetic. Empty reloadable collars impose no mood penalty.
• Masochists, wimps, body purists, and body modders have distinct, stackable reactions to active collars.
• Shock capacitors are assembled, charged, recovered after a successful reload, and reused through a powered machining table.
• All collar hardware is manufactured at a powered machining table.
• Only one control collar can occupy a pawn's neck at a time.
• Removal is non-violating but destroys the tamper-resistant device.

Compatibility

• RimWorld 1.6
• Works with Core alone
• Ideology is optional and enables slave-rebellion detection and suppression deterrence
• Compatible with the official DLC set
• No Harmony dependency
• Preserves the original package ID, explosive-collar definitions, and save fields

Existing saves using the original explosive-only release should continue to recognize installed explosive collars and collar items. The anesthetic and shock systems are additive.
