Title: Integrate the Pawn State Icons mod into the core game
Post by: Kaballah on July 04, 2015, 03:38:45 PM
Colonists have such a huge variety of thoughts (e.g. "I'm wearing tattered clothing, this sucks") and states (e.g. "I'm freezing" "I'm hungry") but the core game does not do a very good job of showing this information to the player - manually browsing through each colonist's Thoughts pane is really awkward and just not very fun.  Please consider integrating this wonderfully well done UI mod, which I'm sure you're already familiar with:

Pawn State Icons (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9163.0)

Thanks!

Agreed to both of the above.

The mods permit that already (along with a lot of tweaking options)

and ofc i support this too

PSI is an amazing mod and should be base game, imho.

Look like a good idea, though I'll prefer a toggle or to put it aside the Colonist Status Bar of theEdB Interface UI (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=5258.0) mods.

It's one think to have an User Interface but I prefer my colonist to be more than datapoint and state.

++1  That's a double plus one from me. I use this mod when it works and miss it A LOT when it's not up to date .
The option of turning it off IS available as has been stated and it's a great visual cue as to what your colonists are thinking about.

+1 to this and to edb prep carefully.

+1. Vanilla is fun to play each new alpha, but seriously painful until the EdB's and this mod are all updated.

I respect your downvote, but I'm curious.. What's your reason to say no?

I dont use this mod, anything that sticks to the colonists and follows them around and is UI should be optional.

As it stands, it is optional.
Having it in the game, will mean the same thing.. and possibly have expanded use as well.
I envisage a hotkey with which you can toggle it to get a bird-eye's view and you can then switch it off for a cleaner world view.

supported 110% so long as it is optional, not that I would turn it off.

I support this too. This mod (along with the colonist stats bar) has become essential for me while playing this game
