Temperatures below 0K eh? Interesting..

'Playing horseshoes' ismy best guess at an English IG translation of the activity

Undrafted animals will attempt to rescue the same as they do a haul. If the animal has finished a wander, they will look for something to rescue, then haul. If neither, they do another wander.

..and the chance to rescue/haul vs wander is around 1/3 IIRC, so don't /rely/ on pets (even bonded) doing either..

While we're on the subject, do bonded pets have a preference to rescue master? If so is the ^ preference chance upgraded (if not attacking master's foe)?

And the mods you are using are..?

@gianni: first point can be modded in; 2nd is a good idea but can be worked around by arresting the burning pawnthen immediately releasing them (draft/undraft) I think

However, both are good suggestions for vanilla incorporation IMO..

Following what Dargaron said WRT eyes, ears & noses have no replacements available while fingers/toes require entre limb replacement EPOE & RBSE both allow for bionic replacements of hands/feet/ears & prosthetic noses (among other things), but I feel that at least ears/nose prosthetics should make it to vanilla (since dentures are already available for jaws).. oh, & I fully endorse earlier (tech tree) eye protection!

Fairynuff; there's a similar traquer system at Egososoft

Unfortunately the save is only available via sneakernet atm,but I'll try to remember to copy it to a stick sometime soon..

I created an account in the bugtracker to post this there,but I can't see a way to create a new bug issue there..

The way I keep my killboxes clear of trees is to designate them as grow zones; allowing sowing is optional. That way grow pawns will clearcut the areas (plus borders) automatically, & can keep producing food/drugs/textiles as an optional bonu.This method works for windmill areas too..

Shift-click the relevant action when the popup menu shows up

If you click the 'letter' (the warning box on RHS) /that/ will dissapear, but the 'event' will still continue regardless. Is that what you're describing?

I think beer [...]  touches on the point by increasing chance to start a social fight, but by the same token, it should lower social inhibitions and stimulate intimacy and camaraderie. [...] My suggestion? Drinking beer alongside other pawns gives an "attended a party" buff.

I think the 'attended party' buff is too strong for this sort of interaction. Ideally there should be some sort of (specified) social interaction giving a lesser boost: "I had a really great time today <socialising> with the group!". How much work that would take to implement I've no idea, although (going back to 'emotional amplification' of alcohol) it could directly offset 'staying in room' mood breaks, if the broken pawn drinks beer while broken & someone else interacts with them positively.. or triggering 'beserker' or similar if the interaction was -ive..

Hah! Ninja'd by the master

 

• Animal sleep spots can't currently be assigned to specific animals (irritating IMO, but understandable), so how about this compromise: bonded (or even assigned) animals should /prefer/ to sleep near their owners. Bedroom sleep spots could be created for dog/(cat?) pets (incurring no filth) while other animals/pets would be restricted by zones as currently implemented.
  
  I'd still like specific vetinarian spots enabled (pref within hospitals) to heal/tame difficult animals (eg thrumbos) & bonded pets, but that's outside the scope of this thread..
  
  

Ah, mods!

Be aware that this behaviour is exploitable too: you can force them to break (in a designated area with that mod) by buying all their food, if you want their gear without paying for it..

Last time this sort of thing happened to me it was 'cause the caravan members were starving,causing them to break. Check their gear/health & sell them some food if necessary
