Here I try to answer some of the frequently asked questions about my mod Better Thralls.
There are 2 ways to open the mod configuration:
The green Better Thralls configuration button on the left side of the character inventory or the command line command in case you have disabled the configuration button:
DataCmd BetterThralls
Regardless of the role (admin or player), the configuration opens in “player” mode.
For the server settings you first have to make yourself admin (“Make Me Admin”-button in the server settings of the game), and then switch to admin mode in the Better Thralls configuration.
ModControlPanel is no longer supported due to its limited capabilities.
The button no longer exists. The additional followers are now also recruited via the white “follow” button.
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that either.
Since version 3.0 (Age of Sorcery), the game alone takes care of the XP for the followers. The additional followers are now also supplied with XP via the standard mechanics of the game. If something goes wrong, then the mod can’t fix it.
Bugreports must always go through the discord server. Only there it is possible to deal with bug reports in detail.
Definitely not suitable for bugreports: the comment area at the end of the page!
The way the Unreal engine manages its files makes it impossible to implement a feature in more than one mod without significant additional effort. Unfortunately I don’t have the time for this effort.
Most parts of the mod are configurable and can be activated/deactivated as admin and/or player. If you miss a setting, you are welcome to make a suggestion. The best place for this is my discord server: Testerles Conan Exiles Mods
See my answer in Is feature x also available as a standalone mod?

would you be able to update this mod so that the “E” to command followers whilst ingame works plz 😉
Always take one thrall as base game follower (white icon). Attack commands given to this thrall are usually executed by all additional thralls as well. All other commands (move, stop, return, …) are planned. No eta
Just wondering if this has an ETA yet? I recommend this mod to everyone, and I love every single thing about this mod except controlling the additional thralls. Haha. If that gets updated/addressed, I’ll have literally no complaints to be said! Thanks!
Hi, sorry I must be missing something obvious … can’t see how to set a thrall as ‘base game follower’ so have had to (temporarily) disable the mod as I can’t command my thrall. Pressing ‘E’ does nothing.
The base game follower is the one you bound with the white follow icon. The green follow icon is from the mod. You can only command the “white” follower with the base game. Currently, there is no way to command the “green” follower(s). That’s currently intended and will maybe change in the future.
So if you leave the “white” follower slot empty, the whole command system will not work.
Therefore, the following rules apply:
1 follower => always use the base game slot (white icon)
2+ followers => start with the base game slot (white icon) and afterwards fill the mod slots (green icon) with the rest of your gang
Can clarification be given for where the XP sharing is located? Currently running on v1.9.14 and under the mod settings the only options are General, warcry, and force truncheon. The general only has hide keybind for an option, Warcry only has the option to remap the button, and force truncheon has the toggle for having the followers user a truncheon when the player does.
xp settings are server settings and therefore require the admin role
Não há como liberar o compartilhamento de XP entre lacaios seguidores, no modo single player? Só estão disponíveis o General, warcry e force truncheon.
Open the mod settings with the admin role enabled and you will see more options
Hi, could you add a function that we have a list of all the thrall, and able to select thrall from the list to follow? and also set their engagement tactic etc from the list? ty.

Hello, is there a way to order thralls to attack a target, like in Ark?
Only the command system of the base game. No other options for additional followers from the mod. Therefore, always use the base slot, and only then put the additional thralls in the additional slots of the mod. So you can give your base follower an attack command and the additional followers will attack with it. For the other commands this does not work.
When I give the thrall command to attack something, in the middle of the battle the game crashes and displays a fatal error message. This happens most of the time especially when there is a Hyena in the group. Could you help me please? This mod was everything I wanted most. Thanks!

Hi, How do I set the mod so additional followers can gain exp? I’ve been on the admin panel and I don’t see an option to turn it on since you have it set to default which is off.
The settings are in the mod settings and require admin rights to view or change. A description of how to open these settings can be found above. If you have problems with the description, I recommend to join my Discord server to get more support:

hi, i’m not sure how to pick up a thrall? the description says you can, but it doesn’t come up in the radial menu regardless of whether they’re following me or standing guard
Check the mod settings. It’s off by default
绿色按钮不小心被我按没了，怎么能让他再次出现
see “How do I open the mod settings?” and re-activate the button in the section “General”
I hid the menu in the inventory and I don’t know how to make it appear anymore
In “How do I open the mod settings?” you will find instructions on how to open the mod settings. The configuration of the button is in the section “General”.
I need to enter a command to display the menu button again, but I am not a server administrator. What should I do?
you don’t have to be an admin for the command
Hello somehow i can’t make the “Force Truncheon (Following Thralls will always try to use the same weapon type (lethal/non-lethal) as the player.)” feature work.
I tried giving them a one handed sword and truncheon in their inventory (me too) but they always use the Sword even tho i’m using the trunch.
See “I want to report a bug? Where do I do that?” above.
How do I increase the number of followers to more than 3?
Open the mod settings as admin (see How do I open the mod settings? above) and change the follower setting
for me i did this but it refuses to go above 3 followers
Same here.
If you have MCP installed, do not use it for Better Thralls. Follow the instructions above.

Thank you for this mod, makes the game even better!

Hello,
Would it be possible to add the non-collision feature? Because sometimes we are stuck without being able to do anything 🙂
Thanks a lot
Use “go away” from the warcry radial menu if your followers block you.
All options in hud menu missing since update today? Green add to Thrall to follow etc.
the green follow icon is no longer needed. you can use the white one from the base game for all followers
Where is the green “follow” button I saw in these videos?
The button no longer exists. The additional followers are now also recruited via the white “follow” button.
Hello, This work on Singleplayer But NOT on Server, on My Server same settings Singleplayer on Server Not Work, the Follow Command !!! ???
Hello thanks for your mod but i have a big problemas soon as I select a second thrall, the first thrall quits and I only have one thrall left. Even in the war party, only one thrall follows me, I’ve tried it with 10 thralls and 3 party settings, but we always only follow one thrall
