I used the detour lib of HugsLibs. It's amazing, convenient and safer.
I wish more mods use it.
Good work.

Noticed that when you click on the "food" field, it's ranked by the absolute value of the need (instead of the percentage). The maximum value of this varies depending on the race.
So when having a look at the animal list and sorting them by their food need, it doesn't look well ranked.

And it only happens after you sort it, right? It's a small fix, will include it in the next release.

Indeed.

any plans for [a16] day/night switch? it'd be of great use!

Seems like "Love" did it.

It's definitely causing lags for me. The constant frame drops (much more noticeable at speed 3) is gone with this mod removed.

And yes, I do have a lot of mods.

P.S. Is there any way to get rid of that FIVE verification questions? It's pretty annoying.

I can't replay your savegame.
Can you make a short description ?
- Number of pets, their hunger and access to food within their allowed area.
- Number of prisoners.

that would indicate that the problem isn't unique to my save game, but perhaps a strong indication towards a conflict of the mods.

I had not much doubts the problem comes from the mod.
Yet I want to examine the exact situation when possible and sometime, player don't have so many mods (I personally do !) so I ask for a save.

Definitely. I will post my mod on Github... one day.

"Could not determine food preferability for Mechanoid_Scyther_Corpse, Ignoring thisThingDef... Are you using an unsupported food mod ?"

My mod outputs this warning message, but don't worry, it's harmless for mechanoid corpses. I'll just suppress it.

Regarding the lag.

I can't play your save game, you have too many mods. Thank you anyway ^^'.

So I did the same thing with many pets and figured out that the game goes laggy when few animals (even 3-4 or more) are hungry and begin to seek for food at the same time.
But that don't happen with all races... It's very weird. I don't know exactly what's happening.
Smarter food selection doesn't change the pathfinding itself, only the food score.

I'm having a bad time trying to improve the performance of the food score calculation.

Since A16, all minified non vanilla "minifiable" objects will weight 1kg. I can haul my entire power system with one guy.

Is "No thoughts for hostile prisoners" compatible with A16?

Not currently adding in mods yet just wanting to make a list for myself. Love the idea of that mod as I am really into using prisoners for spare parts. lol

There is a "guilty" tag for prisoners. I don't really know how to make a mod would balance this now.

Smarter food selection is causing massive fps lag when animals are unable to pathfind to a nearby source of food due to either being in a restricted area or locked in a room. When food is in the room the lag disappears, or if they fall asleep.

Can I have your save game please ?

Wishmaster, you shouldn't distribute HugsLib with your mod. Much like CCL it's going to be receiving a lot of updates, and it's better to link people to HugsLib directly rather than including it.

Fixed. Thank you.

A psychic ship just crashed within my walls.
I attack it, it spawns 2 centipedes and 2 scythers. After downing one scyther, the remaining mecanoids began to exit the map.... WTF ?? This never happened in A15 to me. Is this a bug ? Are mecanoids scary now ?
I checked their toils and it was well "Exit map" too...

Found a bug: the quality builder icon (the green arrow) will show up on all maps.

Have a look at my mod "WM Smarter food selection".
It has a lot of features for prisoners and pets and one of them is that your pets will never eat fertilized eggs or crops. Exactly what you need I think.
They will also try to hunt, eat human corpses, kibble or hay before anything else. For more details go to the topic.

I just tried the A15 version in A16 and no, it's not.
I'll try to upgrade it.

Edit: I just tried to upgrade it and it is harder than expected. I won't update it before a week.
