I did a quick search to make sure someone hadn't already begged for this recently.

He hasn't updated the mod yet for A12 and this is by far one of the more popular mods out there. I started trying it at the start of A11 ... totally addicted to it and love it. It's so nice to have your colonists funny little faces on a hotbar across the top of your screen to help you keep track of everyone so much easier. Please consider adding this to the base game!  :)

If you check the unfinished section in mods, you will see he is working on a new version with more features.

I'm cool with using it as a mod, but this post is in suggestions for that reason - to suggest it be added to the base game eventually. It just seems like an intuitive natural part of the game.

I am curious to hear any reasons why this shouldn't be in the core game.

While it is certainly useful, I am sure there are more important things to work on in the game than the interface. Keep in mind every change to the core game like added abilities or commands requires an update to the interface. Since the game is still in development, the interface is usually the last bit that gets worked on before a release, at least it is in my experiences as a beta tester.

quite true,lot less programming needed if you dont have to constantly update 'excess' code that you dont NEED right now.
Which is probably why Tynan added modding capabilities so that he can suck up all the ideas for himself and integrate them at the end :)
