1.6 Pawn Permanent Opinions Broken

[Maplespyder]

Rimworld version: 1.6.4633 rev1260
Multiplayer version: Multiplayer Cont. release Nov 2 (couldnt find version num)

Tested in a new game with only multiplayer + multiplayer compat, but opinions such as 'physically appealing' or 'preferred xenotype' between pawns (AKA: permanent opinions) do not show up strictly in multiplayer but show up in singleplayer. I was alone in multiplayer.

Temporary opinions like chitchat, deeptalk, killed rival, etc, show up fine.

One exception: Lovers WILL have this most of the time (it flickers between having and not having)

Most noticeable thing is that 'word of love' did not grant the +40 opinion, but did give the health condition.

I believe that this works correctly, even if it doesn't look like it. Keep an eye on the opinions when pawns are near each other and actually interact with each other. The modifiers should then show up (I tested with both Beauty trait - physically stunning, and word of love) for a brief time and will then disappear again. If that's not the case, please report back and provide the save file for additional analysis.

This happens, because generally relations between pawns are calculated on-demand and cached for a short while. When playing in single player, the social tab triggers the calculation and the value correctly shows up, which is great, but in multiplayer we disable this mechanism to make sure every player has the same game state and doesn't desync. It'd be nice to improve this behavior so it's not as unintuitive. When pawns interact with each other the relations are always evaluated (as that is deterministic) and can be seen (until the cache expires, after 300 map ticks). For future reference, the responsible code is here, classes DontRecalculateSocialThoughtsInInterface and DontUpdateThoughtQueryTickInInterface.
