[A11d] Tools For Jobs (v1.2)

[Wivex]

Thanks for the feedback. I wish i had more time testing all the circumstances. I'll do bugfixing after weekend.

Thanks for the feedback. I wish i had more time testing all the circumstances. I'll do bugfixing after weekend.

also some players have bugs with construct job driver:

The newest version is very buggy. I started and had to finish around 8 games because of bugs. For example there is a bug with assigning jobs, and many errors/exceptions about colliding or missing definitions.

This and previous version are too buggy to play imho

I was using hotfix, latest version and crash landing.

Also this version is missing texts for events like quest for treasure or low drone power level alert.

Here's a screenshot:


Also, are my colonists idle because they don't have tools to do the work? Doesn't it add too much micromanagement with equipment? To have every colonist swap between tools and weapons for each raid... I don't think this change brings any good to the mod. IF you really want that aspect in the mod, and make mandatory crafting toolbelt for everyone to let them do their basic jobs, then halve (or even more) basic  work speed without tools and make tools give high bonus for doing the job to compensate. To be totally unable to do the job leads only to frustration and confusement.

To add a final GenStep, you could just define a MapComponent and have it do whatever you want on map start. This way there are no mod dependencies.

And *special event* to find them on the map 
Or it can be set to generate near with landing too?

If non tool weapon was equipped before starting a job, pawn will drop it, but keep reserved to pick up later automatically.

I see tools requirement as necessity, not luxury. You'll have your starting tool pack and can craft more cheap tools immediately. It's hard to survive in the forest without a sharp axe.
This mod is small but has huge impacton the game so use it with caution.
Sry again for the bugs, i'll fix them ASAP.

Maybe i get you wrong, but i think i already did that in v1.1.


skyarkhangel, could you add some core tips from my Features and Behaviour list to your mod list, so people will have better understanding before starting a game. Not many people actually go in this thread before starting a game with your modpack. And you can exclude my mod for now, until i fix those bugs.

Update bump:

Code Select Expand


Version 1.2 update:
- Fixed a bug: colonists trying to repair graves and other non-intended buildings.
- Fixed a bug: made changes to the tool's def names so they don't cause any problems with any other similar def names (like "BuildingRubble" and "Building_Hammer").
- Made tools an exception for hunting job, so pawns won't go hunting with them.
- Replaced sparks animation for contructing and repairing of metal buildings to dust puffs, to be more realistic when building with hammer.
- Some xml optimizations and rebalancing.

Thanks for the great mod  . Really added to the immersion aspect of the game. Tested with A12d and so far no issues.
