Okay, have a problem here with Recon and Discovery:

My colonists keep sticking livestock into the cryptocaskets. Dead livestock. And when I have them open up the casket, they pop the cadaver back in again immediately.

I suggest adding a 'storage restrictions' thing to the caskets if you're going to use a bodge for resurrection, because I'm getting tired of finding my caskets - not just the Osiris one, but even the ancient cryptocaskets - full of dead chickens.

I've been having problems with the change dresser not being destrucible - it can't be uninstalled or deconstructed, and pawns will try repeatedly to do so if the task is assigned to no effect.

Even using devmode tools to damage the dresser to 0 HP does nothing.

From the log:

Edit: It corrected itself after I made a clothing group in one of the dressers, even though there were no items in the group. Looks like just an edge case.

So, checking out the source code on github, I spotted that someone (richmost) has a fork which is updated for A17.1557.  Unfortunately, he did not provide the compiled assemblies to make it actually work.  Anyway, about 2 hours of getting monodevelop to build for dotnet 3.5 later, I have a working copy that doesn't seem to be spitting errors into the console.

If anyone is interested, I'm including a copy here.  I make no promises about it, I didn't even more than glance at the changes richmost made, so make sure you back up your save file and what not first.

Looks like something's broken, because I get this error in dev console:

I don't suppose there's any plans for making it so you can dump heat into a body of water if your colony happens to have one nearby, are there?
