Kenshi Slavery modding: request help

[Eloth001]

Hello everyone I would like to make my own modification in order for the player to be able to play the slave owner adequately to the game's lore.

Unfortunately, there are not so many training materials on FCS available for understanding on the web. Therefore, I ask for the help of experienced modmakers who have deep knowledge of this tool.

1. The first stage is the processing of slaves bought on the market. It is necessary to make the purchased slave approach the player and start a dialogue with him. At the same time, the shackles are still on him. The player can choose the options to free them or keep them as a slave. In the first case, the shackles are removed, and the slave runs away or joins the squad with some probability. In the second case, the slave joins the squad and receives the tag "slave of the faction / nameless /" or, with some probability, sends the new owner far away and runs away, receiving the tag "runaway slave" and becoming a target for the guards.

To begin with, such a question is how to organize a system of dialogues and what to link to what in order to achieve such a result? Is it even possible? I just want to understand how everything works so that it will be easier later.

2. I came to the conclusion that it is best to enslave defeated opponents through craftable shackles, which are put on manually and make their bearer a slave of the player's faction. The Paradise Falls mod provides something similar, but there the NPCs act uncontrollably, and can run to the other end of the map if someone is unconscious there. Therefore, it is important to make the process more controlled by the player. Is it possible?

There was also an option with a slave ring in a different mod, but here again the logic is unclear: what does the ring have to do with it?

3. Finally, the interaction through the cage should resemble that in paradise Falls, but there should be an option "now you are my slave", after which the character is "processed", shackles are put on and the head is shaved. Is it possible to achieve this with the help of dialogue system?
