Zorba's Miscellanous Tweakery Mods
Most of my mods are intended to make small tweaks to the game. The game is still recognizably Rimworld and should still have roughly the same balance as vanilla Rimworld. These are (mostly) not make-the-game-easier mods! Your characters will still die, they will still be permanently crippled, you will still have to choose between keeping around dead weight and puttin' a cap in the back of their head.
These are make-the-game-slightly-less-irritating mods. And they're generally not big mods, either.
Crafting Hysteresis (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269329#msg269329) - Reduces the amount of churn caused by your crafters running around and topping off stores.
OSHA Compliance (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269333#msg269333) - Deters colonists from walking through already-triggered traps, preventing a rare situation where a trap would be reset at the wrong moment and unexpectedly behead a colonist.
Look At Me, I'm The Worker Now (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269335#msg269335) - Makes the prioritize-work feature a lot more powerful, automatically interrupting other colonists and even allowing prioritization of jobs that aren't currently enabled.
Silly Builder, Surgery is for Doctors (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269333#msg269333) - Changes mechanoid surgery to take colonists with Doctoring enabled. Note that mechanoid surgery already uses the Medicine skill and has never used Construction.
I Can Fix It! (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269336#msg269336) - Destroyed buildings will automatically place a replacement blueprint that a builder will use to patch things up (eventually).
Step Away From The Medicine (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269337#msg269337) - Allows you to set medical defaults for colonists, allies, enemies, and animals.
Slightly larger gameplay-modifying mods!
The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269332#msg269332) - Allows any animal to appear in manhunter packs.
Cosmetic-only mods!
Let's Be Honest Here (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269330#msg269330) (scroll down after hitting link) - Space weed.
A World Without Hat (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269338#msg269338) - Hides people's hats in the quickbar, but not in-world.
More to come!

A15-only mods that are now otherwise obsolete:
It's Dangerous to Come Along (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269334#msg269334) - Prevents assigned animals from following their master when drafted (and, hopefully, from ending up dead by standing in crossfire.) Obsoleted by the new pet management options.
Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269330#msg269330) - Tweaks construction priority order to make roofing a lot less irritating. Obsoleted by Tynan literally doing exactly the same thing in the game.

Crafting Hysteresis
Description:Are you tired of your cooks leaping into action the instant someone decides they want a snack? Would you like them to just
calm down for a bit and stop panicking that your meal stores are at 98% instead of 100%?
Crafting Hysteresis is for you! This allows you to make crafting bills that pause themselves once they're complete, waking up only once your stocks drop below a certain number. Now your chefs can fill your storehouses, then go do other things for a while without being interrupted!
Does not require a new save game (look below for notes)
Instructions(https://zorbathut.github.io/craftinghysteresis/dialog.png)
This mod adds a few new options to the Bill Details menu, awkwardly crammed into the bottom-left corner and defaulting to off. Check "pause on completion" if you want the bill to pause when it finishes its current task. Check "resume on low stock" if you want the bill to restart when stocks get low. Generally, I'm expecting people will use both of these, in conjuction with the "do until you have X" build mode, as shown above.
(https://zorbathut.github.io/craftinghysteresis/rect4206.png)
With the above settings, your cooks will make food until you reach ten simple meals, pause until you're below five, and then resume cooking back up to ten, forever. While the task is paused, your cook will happily run around your base, cleaning boomalope blood off the walls and whatever else you have them assigned to do! Ain't that grand?
Note that "paused" is separate from "suspended" - you can suspend a paused job and it'll cheerfully wait forever for you to un-suspend it. There's currently no way to manually unpause, but I don't know if anyone cares.

CompatibilityCrafting Hysteresis should be compatible with anything that does not modify crafting code. It will work just fine with non-code mods that add new recipes and/or new crafting stations.
Mods that add new bill models (for example, Fish Industry's Aquaculture basins) may conflict, although this will generally just mean the Hysteresis behavior will not be supported on those new objects. Mods that add new bill detail dialogs (if there are any) will probably not work at all.
CH can be added to an existing game without issues, though existing bills won't gain the new options. You'll need to delete those bills and recreate them.
I strongly recommend backing up your game, however.
Colony Manager: Colony Manager has its own bill dialog, and compatibility would need to happen on the Colony Manager side (or, more likely, just reimplement the behavior of CH within Colony Manager).
Balance NotesThis mod likely makes the game slightly easier. Technically, everything it does could be accomplished through micromanagement, but who's got time for that? It will make your crafters slightly more efficient; in theory, this applies to all forms of bulk crafting, but realistically this most applies to cooking (and perhaps kibble making). The end effect is that your cooks are slightly better at working other jobs into their cooking work. As such, it's most likely to be mechanically useful on colonies small enough that they don't need a fulltime cook, although it may be cosmetically useful on all colonies.

Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head
Description:Guys, guys! The building is done! Isn't that great? I mean, the
walls are done. That's the most important part, of course! I'm going to go work on these other walls now. In fact I'm going to go work on
literally everything besides the roof.
Including tearing down this old building! Just gonna tear down the walls here, which,
as we all know, is the most important part of a building, and oh god the roof has fallen on me and I am dead, how could this happen, who could have foreseen it.

This mod changes the priorities for roof deconstruction and roof construction. Roof deconstruction is moved to the top of the construction queue; roof construction is moved right above building objects.
I have not found any situations so far where this order is undesirable.

Balance NotesThis mod makes the game slightly easier. Everything it does can in theory be done with micromanagement, but it's a real pain. On the other hand, it makes the game slightly easier by making your pawns slightly less braindamaged (literally, depending on how well they do from the roof-falling-on-head damage roll). I don't think it's a significant change, it just makes things a lot less annoying.

The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog
Description:So.
Manhunter packs.
Did you know there's a hardcoded list of animals that will show up in manhunter packs?
Not a long list, either. Boomalopes, boomrats, wargs, boars, muffalo, rhinos, and elephants.
Kinda boring, in my opinion. What if I want to fight off a herd of ravenous alpacas? What if the region's cobra population gets, like,
super annoyed at me? What if a ship crashed, full of cats, and they're
hungry?
And what about the humble rabbit?
So: I fixed it. Now any animal can show up in manhunter packs.

Balance NotesOh man. I have no idea.
It turns out that swarms of things are dangerous. I saw a trade caravan torn apart by yorkies. Admittedly, they mostly tore
themselves apart, thanks to crossfire while fighting yorkies. But still. They lost. The yorkies won.
(http://imgur.com/ixfr2Ix.png)
Fighting swarms of animals seems to require a very different strategy than usual. The humble killbox is frequently not sufficient - squirrels are hard to hit, man! And so, in a sense, this - counterintuitively - means this mod makes the game
harder.
On the other hand, you get a ton of meat and leather out of it. Enormous amounts. Because things like alpacas have a low combat rating, and they have a lot of meat.
My gut feeling is that this mod makes the game harder in environments where food is abundant, and easier in environments where food is scarce, but I could, easily, be wrong.
Finally, one warning: The game doesn't seem to handle pathfinding of large numbers of creatures well, especially if they're going through bottlenecks. This mod will cause your game to slow
way down while a manhunter pack is working its way through your defenses. Not much I can do about that, and it shouldn't crash, so just grin and bear it. You get to watch chickens kill your colonists in slow motion! Ain't that grand. It all clears itself up once one side or another is dead.

OSHA Compliance
Description:"Hey! Guys! Guys! Look at this!"
Emmie ran up, holding the remnants of a battered, burnt, and rain-damaged book. Barely visible on the cover were the words "ccupational Safety and Health Administration Guideli".
"It's a book, Emmie. Unreadable, like all the others, I assume. We get them all the time. Toss it in the generator."
"What? Sorry, you're talking to my missing ear."
"TOSS IT IN THE GENERATOR."
"No, look! This page has writing on it!"
They clustered around to look at the single readable page. It said:
"1927.35(b) - Human-lethal traps shall be treated as hazardous regardless of whether they are believed to be active. This prevents casualties caused by poorly-timed trap reset events."
"Huh. In retrospect, that's not a bad idea", Chef said, closing his remaining eye in thought.

Silly Builder, Surgery is for Doctors
Description:Geckulon Decktar's log, Mayor of Togetherness's Crag
Date: 14th of Summer, 5501
We've returned from our -
Now that I'm thinking about it, since when is "summer" a month? I must remember to talk to my astronomers about this.
Let me start over.
We've returned from our last trip to the charmingly named "Fartburg". As usual, the colonists offloaded a huge amount of nearly unusable clothing, several hats made from a rather suspicious form of leather, and "Pemmican, wink wink". It is unclear what makes this different from normal pemmican, aside from the addition of knowing glances and several nods at the hats.
In most ways, the Fartburgian colonists have done a marvelous job of establishing a foothold on this barren rock we call home. In the last year they've built a massive freezer as well as thick walls surrounding the entire colony. Their industriousness cannot be understated, which makes the upcoming events all the more confusing.
On our trip inwards, we met several scythers lying on the ground and slowly rocking back and forth. They were absolutely covered in moss, suggesting that they had been left in the elements for at least two months.
Which means they've been left there since Winter. Which is, as we all know, a month. Winter. A month. Yes.
Anyway. Continuing.
Upon sighting our caravan, several of the Fartburgian citizens left the base and ran to the scythers, carrying bags of medical tools, and proceeded to clumsily tear off the scythers' limbs. Several of the blades were damaged during this action. I asked if they had someone better at surgical manipulations, as perhaps more of the valuable limbs would survive intact, but their response was something along the lines of "you're crazy, surgery on mechanoids is for builders, not people who are skilled at surgery".
(I say "something along the lines of" because he was nearly drowned out by sounds of tearing metal. I may have the exact wording wrong.)
Black, my right-hand man, suggested that perhaps they had no better doctors, but I remembered a skilled doctor by the name of Emu who was tending minor injuries on our last visit, three months ago, in Autumn, which is definitely a month and not a season.
Black suggested we set up our trade post directly in the middle of all their turrets to ensure that we take as much damage as possible in the event of a raid. For reasons that I frankly can no longer comprehend, I agreed, and as we waited for their leader Chef to arrive, we saw Emu herself walking out of a building carrying a freshly-removed lung.
This was concerning until we remembered that lungs, like all body parts, don't rot or biodegrade in any way, and so naturally we offered Emu a large quantity of silver for her still-warm spare lung, which she accepted immediately.
After purchasing the scyther blades and other miscellany mentioned above, we suggested to Chef and Emu that perhaps Emu should do the scyther surgery in the future. Chef gave us a dark look, mumbled "I've tried", and retreated to his room; we did not see him for the remainder of our visit.
As we left, we passed a large fully-automated battle tank lying on the ground watching the stars, and a sarcophagus that commemorated a Fartburg colonist walking around naked while watched by oysters. The epitaph read:
HERE LIES PUSSYCAT
SHE DIED THE WAY SHE LIVED
WALKING AROUND NAKED AND GETTING MAULED BY A PANTHER
We spent several minutes admiring it, and can only hope to purchase art of such beauty on our next visit.

See, there's this weird subtlety in how Rimworld jobs work.
The job definition says which work type is used for the job. So, for example, the "mechanoid surgery" job uses the Repair work type.
Which seems reasonable.
But there isn't necessarily any connection between what work type it *says* it uses and what skill it actually *does* use.
Mechanoid surgery is the same as all other surgery. Like all surgery, it uses Medicine.
Which is weird. Because we're talking mechanoids here. But that's what it does.
Changing it to *actually* use the Repair work type is quite complicated. But changing it to correctly link to the Medicine skill is simple. And, let's be honest, you probably have more skilled construction workers than you do doctors, so it's not like we're making things easier for you.
So now, your medicine-incompetent workers won't go try to remove scyther limbs. They'll fix stuff like they should, and your doctors will go take care of removing those pricey scyther bits.

I got annoyed at pets following drafted pawns around. This is almost never the thing I want, so I kept unassigning pets, then reassigning them, and it was a huge pain.
This mod makes it so that pets will no longer follow drafted pawns. In an attempt to preserve the behavior where pets will protect their masters from kidnapping, they *will* head over to their master if they're downed, for whatever reason.
This has the unintended side effect that characters undergoing surgery will be surrounded by their pets until they wake up.
Unintended, but hilarious, and kind of cute.
I left it in.

The final straw was: Talked to fellow colonists
(http://i.imgur.com/5Psea1h.png)
You know that whole "prioritize work" mechanic?
You know how there's a lot of things that can prevent prioritizing work, and you have to go fix that thing, then bring up the popup again? And if you just needed someone to haul an item, but they didn't have hauling active, you have to turn it on, then get them to haul the item, then turn it off again, and it's just a big pain.
I don't like big pains.
If another colonist is already doing the job, it'll now interrupt them and assign the job to the desired colonist. If the desired colonist doesn't have the right job assigned, that's OK, they'll go do the job anyway.
This is very convenient when you're trying to assign quick work to a bunch of colonists, like "build a really important structure" or "haul some stuff" or "butcher a corpse, I don't care if you're bad at it, just get it done right now."
Caveats:
This won't let you assign jobs if the pawn is incapable of that work - it's meant as a convenience feature, nothing else. It doesn't seem to work well for mining (future updates may fix this.) It is *by far* the most finicky and complicated thing I've written; it may be buggy. It probably is.

I SAW THROUGH HIS HAT. TO THE HAIR BENEATH. AND NOW YOU CAN DO THE SAME.

"This conversation is giving me a headache. TX, what exactly did Zoya ask for?"
ZOYA ASKED FOR A WORLD WHERE HATS DID NOT EXIST. I CANNOT REMOVE HATS. BUT WITH MY NANOBOTS, I CAN HIDE HATS. FROM HUMAN OPTICS. I ASSUMED HER REQUEST WAS FOR GAZING UPON THE HAIR UNDERNEATH. IT WAS THE ONLY LOGICAL POSSIBILITY.

There's this mod that makes all hats invisible. The problem is then you can't see people's hats.
Yeah that's the dumbest thing I've ever said. Bear with me.
See, hats are kind of pretty. But hair is also kind of pretty! And it's also a lot more distinctive, because, seriously, how often do you *not* have all your colonists wearing identical hats?
Mostly, I want to see hats in the main game, but not see hats in the character portraits. I don't need to see at a glance whether someone's wearing a hat, but it seems wrong if they're just walking around hatless in the rain, or fighting off raiders with bare heads. Seems like a bad idea, Morgan. Put on your helmet already. Sheesh.
So I fixed it! This mod removes hats from the character portraits along the top of the screen. But they still wear their hats in the game! That's pretty cool, right?
The name of this mod is entirely inaccurate. Whatever. You've stuck with me this long, you can live with yet another weirdly named mod.
Does not require a new save game - this can be transparently added and removed from any savegame you already have.
TRANSPARENTLY.
LIKE YOUR HATS.

Alright! More mods, new thread! I'm doing a little cleanup on Crafting Hysteresis, then posting some more mods, probably one a week or so, just so I don't get slammed by inevitable fixes.
Mods on the list to be released, in alphabetical order:
* The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog
* OSHA Compliance
* Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head
* Step Away From The Medicine (in development)
* wE hAVe YOur COlonIsT (in development)
If any of these sound particularly exciting, let me know and I'll prioritize that one!
Also, v1.0.5 of Crafting Hysteresis is released. This is entirely an icon change - don't feel obliged to update. Yes, v1.0.4 was also an icon change. Shut up. I'm indecisive. >:(
I didnt know I needed this so much.
I'm interested in "Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head" - not sure what it is exactly, but sounds intriguing!
Raindrops refactors roof construction and deconstruction priorities. You might as well release it right now...

Note that I'm releasing these slowly because writing the descriptive text takes a bunch of time. So, yeah, don't expect amazing stuff from any of these upcoming mods, but you never know - I'm surprised Crafting Hysteresis is as popular as it is.
Anyway, probably posting another one in a week or so, once I can rotate back around to mod releasing :V
Boom, baby! Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269332#msg269332) is released.
Commentary welcome, as always!
I've been playing a tribal game with this mod, and let's just say it makes things interesting, and also, kind of hilarious, right up until the alpaca nation attacks.
Current list of mods I'm vaguely considering making:
* OSHA Compliance
* Silly Stonecutter, Surgery is for Doctors
* Step Away From The Medicine
* wE hAVe YOur COlonIsT
* Let's Be Honest Here
* Don't Define Yourself Through Hat
* Spaceships Are Complicated, Man
I give no guarantee that any of these will be finished. And most of them are *very* small. Some of them are *very* silly.

The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog
So: I fixed it. Now any animal can show up in manhunter packs.
Hi Zorba, First thanks for your mods.
About "The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog" :
does that mean we now can use the xml def located in
Incidents\Incidents_ThreatsBig.xml about manhunter pack? Or are your list of animals is also hardcoded? ^^
The thing is, I work on a mod that add animal and wish to add/tweak manhunterpack. (In fact I wasn't aware it was not working in Vanilla)

The thing is, I work on a mod that add animal and wish to add/tweak manhunterpack. (In fact I wasn't aware it was not working in Vanilla)
It overrides the manhunter pack event with a slightly different code. The new code, when called, grabs all the animals available in the game, jams them in the old pawnKinds list, and then defers to the old code. There aren't any adjustments provided - pawnKinds will be ignored, but overriding ManhunterPack with a new worker class will remove the new behavior.
However, it will include all animal types, regardless of what mod they come from, regardless of where they are in the load list.
So if you want all animal types to be available for manhunter packs, just tell your users to install Caerbannog along with your mod and it'll just plain work :) If you just want some animal types to be available, you'd want to override the ManhunterPack incident yourself (and whichever mod loaded second would get authority over the manhunter list.)
Thanks for the clarification.
So if I want to include a modded manhunter event with say only tigers (defined in an XML file with "<IncidentDef>") as long as I use "<workerClass>IncidentWorker_ManhunterPack</workerClass>"
and set your mod first in mod order, this particular incident can use only a few animals (tigers only in this example) or will it use "all animals from all mods" as you stated earlier.

I believe it would use only tigers. The ManhunterPack event will be overwritten by your mod, and the changes introduced in Caerbannog will be removed. Although I haven't tested it. But I think so :)
All that said, if you don't want all animals in manhunter packs, you should just disable Caerbannog!
What I want to do is several different manhunter incidents , with even some that trigger in some biome only. I was in the impression I could do it easily with the XML tags at my disposition, but then reading your mod description, i understood that Vanilla incident was broken. Or I have totally misunderstood the all thing ?

That should work. The vanilla incident wasn't really "broken", it just restricted the animals rather severely. I didn't like that restriction. But it worked as it was designed.
You should be fine creating several manhunter incidents with different creature lists.

New mod release, folks!
OSHA Compliance prevents an uncommon case where a colonist would walk through a trap as it's being reset. It does this by convincing your colonists to avoid traps even if they're super-certain the trap isn't dangerous right now.
Very small tweak, can be installed in a running game as usual.
Current tentative list of upcoming mods, depending on if I can get time, and in no particular order:
* Let's Be Honest Here
* Silly Stonecutter, Surgery is for Doctors
* Step Away From The Medicine
* wE hAVe YOur COlonIsT
* Don't Define Yourself Through Hat
* Spaceships Are Complicated, Man
* I'm The Worker Now
(Let's Be Honest Here is probably next, though.)
Let's say the only entrance to your base in a 1-tile-wide hallway and it has traps scattered inside. Will colonists outside of this hallway never go inside the colony when using OSHA Compliance? Or will they do it as a last resort if there's is no other way?
*EDIT: Also, there's probably a way for you to make it compatible with mods that change traps. Instead of returning 60 for pathCost you might be able to do "return trap.def.pathcost" or something (I haven't looked into it closely).

They'll walk over the trap if going any other way would be more than about a second of detour. It's only a mild discouragement - it's enough to convince them not to stand on a trap if they can walk a square in any direction, but not much more.
To put it another way, your pawn will walk over 13 disabled traps, but not 14 disabled traps, in order to avoid a single set trap. (Plus distance adjustments.)

It's worth noting that the base code already doesn't provide any tuning factors for those - it's got some faction-specific special-casing so that friendlies and enemies treat it differently. All hardcoded numbers at the moment.
I use all of these. These are rad. You seem like the kind of guy who would implement, say, a mod where you can set default medicine for prisoners so medics don't poorly patch them up with nothing. As a hypothetical, of course.

I present to you: The Disgruntled Rabbits of Caerbannog (https://github.com/Zhentar/caerbannog/releases/download/v1.0/caerbannog-lite.zip)!
This takes the original, and adds a restriction: only animals with a wildness of 35% or qualify, which effectively filters out all pets and farm animals. I wanted a version without pets because :'( and without farm animals because I think the value from taming the survivors would be unbalanced. It also makes the the manhunter event the inverse of the 'farm animal joins' event, which I think is a nice symmetry and a bit more consistent with what "wildness" represents.
Hey just wanted to let you know: your manual download link for OSHA Compliance points us to the Github releases (https://github.com/zorbathut/oshacompliance/releases) -- but that download only has the source available, no compiled .dll.

Compatible with . . . uh, some things? Yeah, this is a complicated one. Likely compatible with anything that doesn't modify right-click menus or object reservations.
This is the stickler part for me, as I have a
lot of mods installed.
You mention right-click menus and object reservations. But what about other mods which modify work priorities? What about mods like Refactored Work Priorities (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26077.0), Hand Me That Brick (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=776679895), Cooks Can Refuel (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=781383672), Work Smarter (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=27551.msg279568#msg279568), Please Clean The Mine (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=795185821), or Smart Snow Clearance (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=797829288)? Those are the kind I worry about.
Also, can anyone name any mods which change right-click menus or object reservations? I can't seem to think of any. Except... I'm sure that I've seen some that change right-click menus. What about Follow Me (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=715759739)? It allows us to right click on a colonists so the camera follows him or her. Or, what about the Achtung portion of Combat Realism (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=27374.0)? It gives more control over colonists. Example: "...select three brawlers and
right click an enemy, then choose 'melee'."
Quote from: Thundercraft on December 02, 2016, 11:11:54 AM
But what about other mods which modify work priorities?
Should be fine!
Rimworld is a very data-driven game. Most "gameplay" things are defined in .xml files as information. When you're right-clicking, say, a stove, the code it's running does something like:
* Find all possible work types
* For each possible work type, see if it applies to this building
* If it does, see if the selected character can do it
* If so, make a little routine to assign the selected character to that job
* Add an entry to the right-click menu pointing at that routine
I'm The Worker Now mucks with that third step and fifth step quite a bit, but it does so in a rather abstract way; it just interfaces with the general concept of "jobs", and it mostly doesn't touch the jobs themselves. It should be 100% fine with things that change job implementation, things that change job requirements and priorities, or things that add jobs; as far the mod's concerned, they're just more jobs, and all jobs are kinda the same.
The stuff it's likely to conflict with are things that add new behaviors that aren't jobs, or that modify how the menu itself is generated. For example, it's got explicit support for the comms console; there isn't a general "comms console job" that it prioritizes in the normal system, that's a special beast. Similarly, rescue/capture is special and taking drugs are special, although, again, the code doesn't care what the drug is, it just interfaces with the generalized concept of "drug".
So tl;dr: if it's just tweaks to a job that can be toggled on and off in the "work" pane, it's probably going to be okay.
But honestly, give it a try! The game contains very little persistent state along these lines and tends to be good at recovering from errors; keep a backup, but if it turns out it doesn't work, you can *probably* just disable the mod and keep on playin'.

Follow Me: I actually can't figure out how this works, but I also don't see anything likely to conflict.
Achtung portion of Combat Realism: Will conflict. Achtung intercepts an earlier function and will (almost) completely disable I'm The Worker Now. For what it's worth, I was considering implementing some of the same stuff, and I may eventually roll it into I'm The Worker Now on its own.
(The right-click-to-melee part is fine, it's "the context menu contains all possible actions regardless of the current drafting status of the selected colonist" that kills it.)

"Glad I could help!"
"Sparkles?"
"Yeah, boss?"
"How are you with melee weapons?"
"Terrible, boss!"

This has made me laugh so much xD
This mod is awesome! It always felt so time consuming and boring to rebuild every single thing after a (successful) pirate/spacer attack
release mods erryday (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=819520926)
or, like, once or twice a week, I guess
----
So! Alpha16!
My plan for A16 is that I'm going to start porting mods over to A16 and releasing those versions on GitHub. There's no good way for me to release A16-specific versions on Steam, unfortunately. Once A16 is released I'll update everything on Steam, thereby annoying everyone who's still using A15, but they can still grab versions off GitHub if they want.
At least one of my mods has been essentially pulled into Core, and I won't be updating that one. You can just . . . you know . . . not use it anymore.
I dunno. Maybe I'll update it with a mod that does nothing. That entertains me. I might do that.
Look At Me, I'm The Worker Now - A real tale from my most recent game and why this mod must be installed ASAP
Willow: "Hey Lexi..."
Lexi: "What?"
Willow: "What are you doing?"
Lexi: "Taking care of Trev, he has been shot 4 times in the chest and the situation is pretty bad... Wish me luck!"
Willow: "Dude... You are at best considered a nurse, I am a surgeon, the best one in the colony! You are going to kill the guy!!"
Lexi: "What?? Come on, it will work... Let me just grab some herbal medicine and I'll..."
Willow: "...Herbal Medicine? We have Glitterworld medicine available what are you doing??? Let me heal him you will only make the situation worse!!"
Lexi: "Don't worry! Jesus..."
Willow: "BOSS!!"
Boss: "What?"
Willow: "Lexi is an idiot, he doesn't have any medicine knowledge and he is going to perform a surgery, the most he should be doing is give medicine to people with the flu or a cold, leave this job for an expert like me!"
Boss: "But he's already on his way to Trev, I can't send you to do something he is already doing..."
Willow: "Just... tell him to stop, send him after a wild boar or into the bug infested cave!"
Boss: "Afff... fine... LEXI!!!!"
Lexi: "Yes boss?"
Boss: "Stop what you are doing!"
Lexi: "But... I'm literally standing right next to Trev, he is in immense pain"
Boss: "Yeah I know, but you suck at healing people, please stand aside and let the real doctors help him"
Lexi: "Hummm nahh..."
Boss: "Jesus Christ are you really forcing me to draft you so you can move?"
Lexi: "Yeah... Sorry about it..."
Boss: "OK. Now, stand still while I send Willow to heal Trev..."
Willow: "Thanks boss!! You can send Lexi to do something else now!"
Lexi: "This is stupid... You are making a huge mistake!"
Boss: "Not really, last time I let you heal a patient instead of Willow you cut off a leg from the patient, and all he had was a cut to the arm, I seriously have no idea why I saved you from the pirates..."
On a side note, is "Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head" compatible with, lets say, Hand me That Brick and Refactored Work Priorities? I'll try it anyways and report back if something goes wrong, but confirmation is always nice :D
I use almost all of your mods by now xD They add so much quality of life I'm starting to love more and more the game :)

It's your choice. But there is a solution which would both prevent the above issue and which
would allow you to release for A16 on Steam. Have you seen the list of RimWorld mods on Steam with the "0.16" tag. There are already 42 of them (and counting). Is there a reason why you won't make separate 0.16 Steam releases for your mods?
Dear ZorbaTHut,
thank you for the "Crafting Hysteresis" mod - I appreciate it very much while playing Rimworld. Great!

I believe that Refactored Work Priorities pretty much subsumes Raindrops - I don't think you need Raindrops at all. Note, however, that Raindrops doesn't automatically flag ceilings for removal, it just takes care of flagged ceiling removals before tearing down the walls. You still need to flag the ceiling yourself. (Yeah, it'd be nice if you didn't, but it's a bunch more work.)

I think players who know to choose the "Alpha15" option are going to be relatively comfortable with installing things manually. And thankfully, my mods aren't very order-sensitive.

A few, yeah.
First, it's a big headache for me. That doubles the number of releases I need to make.
Second, it's not clear how to cleanly transition. If I don't update the "main" mod to A16 when A16 comes out, then everyone who *doesn't* hold their game back will have problems. If I do update the main mod to A16, then we're right back where we started.
Third, it splits up the user list; people use popularity to figure out which mods to use, and I don't want to drop mine in the rankings that far.
Overall I just don't see a lot of benefits to doing that; it's a big timesink for the sake of a relatively small chunk of the userbase.
Also, new mod! (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=26623.msg269338#msg269338)
This is the last new mod I'll be posting for a while - next up is all that A16 porting I need to do.

Is it compatible with Killface's FacialStuff? He does change the pawn graphics method, if for once I'm correct you might want to add that mod to the compatibility list in the description. There is another mod that changes the actual model of the pawns to make them use the thinner model and such, cant remember the name, but the situation should be the same...

I'm honestly not sure. The easiest way to test it would be to just load both of 'em and see what happens - it should take seconds to figure it out :V
Graphics changes will be compatible, new items will be compatible, but entire new pawn rendering routines won't be compatible. I'm leaning towards FacialStuff being incompatible, but give it a try, see what happens!
Edit: I managed to find the source for FacialStuff and it actually looks like it would be compatible. So, reversing my previous guess. Should work! No promises. Should work! :D

I've updated a few of Zorba's mods for A16, however they are untested.
Here is A World Without Hat, Crafting Hysteresis, I Can Fix It, and Silly Builder.
Edit: No longer needed.

Honestly, I've been so busy converting mods I haven't had time to check, I just knew that the mod that Zorba said A16 made obsolete is the pet one, so I simply assumed the rest are still needed.
Various A16 compatibility updates.
For the curious, here's the current state of things:
It's Dangerous To Come Along: No longer needed for A16.
Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head: No longer needed for A16.
Let's Be Honest Here: Updated; no changes required, just a version number bump.
OSHA Compliance: Updated; no changes required, just a version number bump.
Silly Builder, Surgery is for Doctors: Updated; no changes required, just a version number bump.
A World Without Hat: Updated; minor changes required.
Crafting Hysteresis: Updated; minor changes required. I've got some pending pull requests that are not yet integrated in, I'll do that after the rest are finished.
I Can Fix It: Updated; significant changes required. (The version posted earlier in this thread does not, unfortunately, work.)
Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog: Updated. I could have gotten away with minor changes, but instead I reimplemented it in a new way that should make it much more compatible with other mods.
Step Away From The Medicine: Not yet updated. This one turns out to be complicated to update. Will work on it tonight/tomorrow.
I'm The Worker Now: Haven't even looked at it yet, I know this one's going to be a nightmare. Will work on it tonight/tomorrow.
If you still want the A15 versions, they're available via the manual installation route. Otherwise, I've updated Steam!

Yup. :V
Step Away From The Medicine updated! I've added HugsLib (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=28066.0) as a dependency; hopefully it won't turn out to be nightmarishly glitchy. Seems promising so far!
If you get it from Steam, it should just work. If you install manually, you'll need to add it on your own.
I'm The Worker Now will (hopefully) come tomorrow.
I'm The Worker Now has been updated to A16. All my updating is done! I still have a few fixes and updates for a few mods, but in general, they should be stable and ready to use.
. . . okay, I'm not sure I'd call I'm The Worker Now "stable".
But it's no less stable than it was before.
Probably.
Is it... Is it gonna explode...?
Used Crafting Hysteresis and I'm the Worker Now in A15 - now I've just downloaded the majority of your mods for A16.
So useful. Many thanks. Much impressed. :)
The only thing better then the mods themselves is the little stories you add, honestly are entertaining. Good job on the tweaks!
Quote from: Alenerel on December 22, 2016, 08:14:16 AM
Is it... Is it gonna explode...?
Probably not.
No promises, though.
In all seriousness, there's a few of my mods that I'd call rock-solid. I'm The Worker Now is none of those - it does some really hacky and invasive things to the reservation system. I'm frankly surprised it works at all.
But it does seem to work.
On the plus side, it does absolutely nothing that ends up saved to disk, nor is it likely to damage the savegame process to the point where it generates bad output. Anything it screws up should be fixable by simply turning the mod off and loading your last game.
OSHA Compliance 1.0.2 released. This slightly increases the pathing penalty for armed traps to avoid a common case where pawns would still take a shortcut across the trap.
Still no luck in fixing the null faction error messages from Step Away?
Haven't taken a serious look, honestly - I never had a great way to reproduce it, and they seem harmless, just annoying. I'll see if I can get to it after some much-needed Crafting Hysteresis fixes, though.
Speaking of Crafting Hysteresis improvements, v1.0.7 released.
* Fix a missing hook for the tutorial
* New feature - shift-click the +/- in the bill window, or the low-stock-threshold values in the bill details window, to change values more quickly
* Add translation keys
Playing with Look At Me, I'm The Worker Now.
my colonist was hunting something, and before he picks up the dead prey, another colonists took over the job automatically.
So I tried to give back the hauling job to the hunter, but I couldn't. The menu on the corpse wasn't showing up the job option (only "consume corpse" no thanx :D ) until I draft/undraft the colonist who was hauling the corpse.

I too have noticed that it is not behaving as it did in A15, simply the menu is not always available, the situations in which it happens seems to be random, and inconsistent.
Sorry for the shitty bug report -_-'
Fixed some issues with Step Away From The Medicine and Let's Be Honest Here. If you're using Step Away, I strongly recommend updating; honestly the bug is bad enough that it kind of makes the old version broken.
If you're using Let's Be Honest Here, I also recommend updating. If you're not using Let's Be Honest Here, I recommend installing it, and telling all your friends about it, and installing it on their computers,

Added to the bugfix list, I'll see what I can figure out. That said, this feels a little like a mod conflict; normally, hunters haul their own corpse, and nobody can interrupt them regarding this. Are you using any mods that might change this behavior?
(I've got enough outstanding bugs for this mod that I suspect
something's broken, note, this is just not quite the same feel as those)
Ran into a minor issue with Silly Builder, Surgery is for Doctors and the escape pod survivor event. If you choose to rescue the survivor it seems to disable treatment options for them entirely. Can't command any pawn to treat and the pawns ignore the guest until they die (or leave I suppose). It was the only mod active, so other than figuring out which mod I haven't really tested it further.
Also, awesome mods overall, all have been very useful and welcome. Thank you.
I think that's a vanilla issue; there have been a number of similar reports in the bugs forum.
Fixes!
* Look At Me, I'm The Worker Now: Fixed a few cases that could result in the right-click menu not appearing at all.
* I Can Fix It!: Fixed an error generated when non-blueprintable owned buildings were destroyed (most commonly, snowmen.)
reported a bug where new pawns don't have their medical settings set to the mod default:
https://github.com/zorbathut/stepaway/issues/1
- Does the The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog include the whole list like Thrumbo and panthers? Does it change the number of animals or the frequency of the event?
also do they ever calm down or they're like mechanoids - never stop?
- Step Away From The Medicine "reset medicine to these values" - make it a separate button for animals and colonists.
Out of curiosity, why on Earth did you take the approach in your mechanoid surgery mod of making it so that only doctors did it, instead of that it was based on Construction skill? Knowledge of medicine does not make one better at disassembling a TV, but being able to assemble a TV might.
Thank you for A World Without Hats! Tuques and cowboy hats makes everyone look the same xD
Look At Me, I'm The Worker Now isn't working on roofs.
Crafting Hysteresis suggestion: add a way to prioritize crafting with spoiling soon items (the text counting days, not the quality meter)

"Developer"
Congratulations on your promotion!
I love the Rabbits of Caerbannog mod, but it can get insanely laggy when the RNG decides you should get a pack of rodents. Could we get a version that only allows any animal over a certain bodysize?

He did this because it's just an absolute pain to set different work skills for jobs in Rimworld, but it's really easy to set the person who does a job with certain skills e.g. Mechanoid part removal is set to be the surgery skill, so a doctor should do the job, not a builder. Although I do agree with you, a builder should be the one who takes apart the mechanoids, not a doctor.
so why is the Raindrops No Longer Fall On My Head mod obsolete?
Because in A16 the base game was changed to work exactly the same way that Raindrops did, so there's nothing for the mod to do.
A World Without Hats appears to be incompatible with Thirite's Simple Beard Framework (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=29704.0). When using both mods together, the game behaves as if A World Without Hats isn't installed, even when AWWH is lower in the modlist.
I really, really like your novel-like description. A perfect summary of the mods with such interesting dialogues as your mods does.
I downloaded a lot of your mods, and I feel really satisfying... Thank you for making such brilliant mods :)
Hello. I seem to be getting some errors from "Step away from the medicine". Are there any incompatibilities with Psychology? Attaching modsconfig.xml too.
[attachment deleted by admin due to age]
So, for the invisible hat mod, could you add an option in like mod settings or hotkey shortcut to enable and re-enable the mod while you're playing the game live? Or can you not really modify the running config like that? Because I, too, like hats on my pawns on the map, but also want to see their hair on portrait, but sometimes it's nice to have hatted portraits to check what hats (if any) everyone is wearing. We'll just refer to this dilemma as Schrodinger's hats.
So, um, here's some other mods ideas that seem up your alley.
A mod to strip and bury the dead. Or strip and haul, or strip and consume; you know, whatever floats your colony's boat. Basically when you have a corpse on your hands you're gonna wanna do something to it after you strip it. It just makes sense to combine it into one order issued.
A 'Clean your fucking room' mod which is exactly as it sounds. Forces non-cleaners to clean within X tiles of their own assigned bed. They still won't clean anywhere else, just their rooms. I see it playing out like this:
"Sammy, you keep complaining about this place being dirty. Why don't you just clean it up?"
"I don't clean. I cook and research. I can't possibly clean."
"You're seriously claiming you can't take a rag with water and scrub the dirt off the ground?"
"Yes, exactly!"
Fred pauses, then stares at Sammy.
"I'm stuck cleaning the entire colony everyday for two hours straight! I just want you to help out a little."
"I refuse to clean up other people's messes. Even my own. I'm far too skilled for such lowly work."
Fred picks up his gun.
"Sam, you're ugly, no one likes you here and you're unarmed. Just fucking do it or I'll shoot your god damn brains out."
A brief struggle ensues. Fred is able to press a gun against Sammy's head without much difficulty.
"Wait! Don't! What if... what if I just clean my room?"
'...'
"What's your cooking level again?"
< />
The last idea is for a mod that lets you makes tables not tables, but they're still tables, of course. You just can't use them. You're able to mark tables as do not use. They're just decorative, non-functioning tables.
Tables can have high beauty, thus placing them in colonist bedrooms for buffs is useful, but then they don't eat together and get buffs for that.

Hi. There might be an issue remaining from "Look at me, I'm the worker now" or maybe some other related mod (like the poster from here had: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=30561.0 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=30561.0)). The strange thing is I am having the exact same error with a save, but I don't have the mod installed (nor do I remember having it by mistake at the start of the colony, since it's not compatible with CR). Thank you! :)

Also as of late, i have been noticing that, when using a floating menu (like right click on an item), all of the things currently at the screen like pawns and animals, become shaky, and start zig-zaging increasingly more violently.
Also, several times i had the following error when the same shakiness got so out of hand, that the pawns animals just got out of the borders of the map, that error though, didn't happen again when i uninstalled zhentar's better pathfinding:

EDIT: I confirmed that I'm the worker now was the one spamming the warnings, but the shakiness seems to be related to other mod.
Another post for another error, this time is related to "Step away from the medicine" and "alien races framework" somehow:

So, for the invisible hat mod, could you add an option in like mod settings or hotkey shortcut to enable and re-enable the mod while you're playing the game live? Or can you not really modify the running config like that? Because I, too, like hats on my pawns on the map, but also want to see their hair on portrait, but sometimes it's nice to have hatted portraits to check what hats (if any) everyone is wearing. We'll just refer to this dilemma as Schrodinger's hats.
So, um, here's some other mods ideas that seem up your alley.
A mod to strip and bury the dead. Or strip and haul, or strip and consume; you know, whatever floats your colony's boat. Basically when you have a corpse on your hands you're gonna wanna do something to it after you strip it. It just makes sense to combine it into one order issued.
A 'Clean your fucking room' mod which is exactly as it sounds. Forces non-cleaners to clean within X tiles of their own assigned bed. They still won't clean anywhere else, just their rooms. I see it playing out like this:
"Sammy, you keep complaining about this place being dirty. Why don't you just clean it up?"
"I don't clean. I cook and research. I can't possibly clean."
"You're seriously claiming you can't take a rag with water and scrub the dirt off the ground?"
"Yes, exactly!"
Fred pauses, then stares at Sammy.
"I'm stuck cleaning the entire colony everyday for two hours straight! I just want you to help out a little."
"I refuse to clean up other people's messes. Even my own. I'm far too skilled for such lowly work."
Fred picks up his gun.
"Sam, you're ugly, no one likes you here and you're unarmed. Just fucking do it or I'll shoot your god damn brains out."
A brief struggle ensues. Fred is able to press a gun against Sammy's head without much difficulty.
"Wait! Don't! What if... what if I just clean my room?"
'...'
"What's your cooking level again?"
< />
The last idea is for a mod that lets you makes tables not tables, but they're still tables, of course. You just can't use them. You're able to mark tables as do not use. They're just decorative, non-functioning tables.
Tables can have high beauty, thus placing them in colonist bedrooms for buffs is useful, but then they don't eat together and get buffs for that.
just wondering is there any issues that arise from disabling it from the mod menu mid game?

Can it also cause a rebuild order to be issued when fireplaces and torches burn out?

These mod names are as awesome as the mods themselves. Thank you so much my friend!

I just wanted to say thanks for this mod, because it really made my day. My greatest laugh-out-loud moment in my RimWorld play experience has to be, by far, being attacked by a horde of squawking chickens.

These are fantastic, and your descriptions really crack me up. You're a good writer!
Any chance of these getting updated to A17?
please update world without hat
Pretty sure world without hat was incorporated into the main game. You can go into options and disable it from there.
I.... didn't noticed.... TY ;D
Kind of amazing that pretty much all your mods have become apart of the actual game. If only they made space weed a reality.

I found an issue with I Can Fix It!. If something gets destroyed that you shouldn't know how to make it, it still places the blueprint for it. for example, I had a steel mortar I got from seigers and it blew up, then a blueprint was left, even though I didn't have the tech for mortars researched.
I need you guys!
I need "A World Without Hat" :)
please update this mod

When Zorba started helping the dev team didn't that get included in vanilla? Check the options screen. First column, towards bottom, if I recall correctly.
are there updates/alternatives to:
CraftingHysteresis
ImTheWorkerNow
StepAway

Crafting hysteresis is already implemented in the game. The option is "pause when completed" in the bills.
ImTheWorkerNow, I think Achtung can fill the bill. It has a force option that makes a pawn do that job. Example: instead of building one wall, it will build all the walls next to that one. Or sowing an entire zone instead of just one plant. It also lets you force works that pawns arent set to, like you can tell a non builder to build a wall, or to haul something outside the assigned area.
StepAway, Pharmacist.
I also forgot, I think "better workbench management" makes much easier to organize the benches. It gives you several additional options about the hysteresis.
Alenerel, Thanks
