I've been getting reports of an NPE with Hediff_Anxiety's Tick function. Please post your logs if you've encountered this error.

Do tell if you need anything else.

Also getting some errors with the Hediff_Anxiety tick. Although, I have a pretty long mod list, including RomanceDiversified, so take from it what you will.

I also want to note, I have two maps running, one of which has 0 active pawns (they all died and their dead corpses are rotting around the base) and I also have a kidnapped pawn (the kidnapped pawn may have anxiety, which I believe is throwing the game off).

Other notes:
Game is totally playable. It slows down quite a bit when trying to log this error (due to the constant attempts with the ticks). I'll come back and modify this post if any changes are made or if the problem goes away.
Edit1: The problem only occurs at night. It stops logging the error as soon as the sun rises.
Edi2: Specifically at the first hour after midnight until about the 7th hour of day time.

Same errors with Hediff_Anxiety ticks. Is there a way to make the error log window disappear?

You can turn dev mode off as a short-turn substitute, but besides that, he's currently working on it (see the above comments).

Can you guys tell me if it's happening on old maps only or also new ones with the latest update?

The only cause I can suspect is maybe that it's ticking on pawns that aren't spawned. This error has not come up on my own save so it's difficult to pinpoint. Being able to look through your save games would probably help.

e: Those of you with the problem please download the attached mod version and tell me if it solves it.

Specifically new maps, although I can't tell you if it happens on old maps or not. I have caravanned to a new location, and killed and ate many pawns, so all I have are new maps. There's a bit before the repeating tick log that was posted above, although I can't seem to reproduce it now, mentioning a pawn and their ID (seems to occur on load in).

I'll try your fix now. Thanks for all the hard work!!

Edit: Seems to work! Thanks again!

New Thoughts
- Imprisonment: They may be willing to join your colony, but pawns you've captured and recruited will be resentful and awkward with the people that imprisoned them, until they get used to their new life.

New Events
- Quarrel: Two pawns friendly towards each other have their relationship damaged by an argument until they make up.
- Homesick: One of your pawns is feeling homesick. They may spread it to other pawns through conversation.
- Cliques: Two pawns who dislike each other separate the colony into cliques of their friends. Members of each clique may come to blows.

Quick question: Does the anxiety health effect ever go away or deteriorate? Is it permanent?

[System.Linq]

Yes, it deteriorates while it's tended and it's immunizable.

I love you! I was just now trying to figure out which mod caused this exact problem. Welp, time to get back to playing!

[System.Linq]

Updated to 2016-12-30 v3. I've decided that the mod generated pawns which skewed unrealistically far towards attraction to the same sex. As a result, the Sexuality Formula™ has been altered to make your pawns less gay. This change will not affect already-generated pawns.

you'll be hearing from tumblr about this

Updated to 2016-12-31. I've identified and fixed a few lingering bugs: The romance chance wasn't checking known sexualities properly, and animal pawns threw NPEs when they had panic attacks.
