DW Ignored Factions

Soft skip for the DW event picker. Ignored factions never get chosen for auto-events, but you can still adjust their relations manually through Increase Relations and Decrease Relations.

Different from Unlock Relations:

	Locked (from Unlock Relations)	Ignored (from this menu)
Auto DW events	❌ Blocked	❌ Blocked
Manual buy relation	❌ Blocked	✅ Allowed
Diplomacy through vanilla missions	❌ Blocked	✅ Allowed

Special row states

Rows shown in the info tone (no toggle) mean the faction is automatically excluded by DA logic — not a player choice:

• This faction does not seek to claim sector ownership. — the faction has no tag.claimspace tag, so the DW system has no territorial claim to shift. Examples in the screenshot: Alliance of the Word, Fallen Families, Ministry of Finance, Yaki.
• Relations Locked — the faction is Locked via Unlock Relations (Duke’s Buccaneers, Scale Plate Pact in the screenshot).
• Not available — the faction is intrinsically excluded (Kha’ak, Xenon — always-hostile).

When to ignore

• Storyline factions where you want manual control but not auto-shifts (e.g. Scale Plate Pact after unlocking).
• Player-owned or player-aligned factions (though these usually don’t participate anyway).
• Testing / role-play scenarios — freeze the DW picker to a specific subset.

When to un-ignore

• You added a compat mod that expects the faction to be active in DW.
• Save-file recovery — DA should generally pick a faction back into rotation after you un-ignore it.
