ill assume by 'only 1 tile away and not during major incidents' you meant at the start and only do it once^

yeah basicaly

Shouldn't any UI mod be allowed so long as it doesn't afford abilities or resources not accessible to the player in vanilla?  In that vein things like wildlife tab/hunting alert should be fine, and arguably even "hand me that brick" since its effects can be duplicated with micromanagement.

In contrast stuff like prepare carefully allows you to make pawns that can't normally be generated, and stuff like "tilled soil" or embrasures from other mods can be gamebreaking and are certainly not available options in vanilla, so are good examples of stuff that is reasonably disallowed.

i think that hand me that brick is kind of included in the modpack though

Fair enough, where I am right now I can't check too easily.  Still, I think the delineation should be clear per OP: if it gives resources or abilities you can't access in vanilla then it's out.

I would like to point out that the mods were already agreed on.

Permadeath, Project Zero on Rough, 25 rerolls per colonist, no prepare carefully... Only default mods + Wild Cultivation + Editable Backstories + Stack Merger. Longest lasting colony also agreed on.

[TheMeInTeam]

I'm not sure I'd participate regardless, but if stuff like hunting alert + wildlife tab are not allowed and it's permadeath then there's no chance.  Pure UI mods that don't alter game's cost/features being banned isn't reasonable IMO.

[The13thRonin]

I'm Stallion on the Discord. I'll be posting the first update tonight. Stefan maybe you could link to all story/screenshot posts in the original post if you get time?

Thanks for putting up the post man.
