Requesting medivac !

Allows you to put downed pawns into transport pods.

Smarter medical bed selection.

Colonists will now go to the best medical beds (eg: Hospital bed with vital monitor) if they need tending, immunity or surgery.
They will leave FREE the best beds if they are tended already but need recovering.

If they need urgent tending however (for severe blood loss for example), they will just reach the closest medical bed.

This works for rescue as well.

Helps your crops to be mature at the same time, avoiding your farmers to lose time when only few or your crops are fully mature.

This works by magically redistributing the growth between your adjacent crops.
Crops grown above the average of the group will grow slower and those bellow the average will grow faster. The average growth remains the same.

This does NOT work if your plants have more than 8% of growth difference.

You can see what effects the magic has by clicking on your crops.

Are you sick of building pods again and again to communicate with your trading outpost ?
This mod allows you to reuse your pods under certain conditions.

Q: How do I reuse a pod ?

When launching a pods group, target a location within the range (max 20 tiles) of a Landing controler and one Pod launcher for every pods you want to reuse.

Q: What happens then ?

If conditions are fulfied upon arrival, pods will land next to pod launchers, at fueling ports where you can launch them again.

Q: What's if I have more pods than pod launchers at destination ?

Pods that can't land at a fueling port will act like vanilla: they land at a random location and vanish.

Q: Is it balanced ? What is the drawback of that ?

All you need is to have Pod launchers at the destination and the new Landing controler building (looks like a trade beacon). ONLY ONE IS REQUIRED.
It costs 15 gold, 120 steel and 3 components and has 300 hitpoints.

Q: I have an error message when starting the game.
If you are talking about the warning (yellow!) message of HugsLib, it's an HARMLESS message. Otherwise please report it bellow. Compatibility
It should be compatible with Mid-Range Drop Pods by Thundercraft and LongRangePodLauncher by xhatti.
However you should load this mod before and you will loose the place helper (lines to the landing controller) when placing the Pod Launcher blueprint. (to be tested).



Groups all identical leathers into tiered leathers item.

Their names become "tier X leather" where "X" is the tier of the leather. The tier is a ranking based on the stats of the leather.
In vanilla, thrumbo leathers should be tier 1.

Identical means: Same stats, same market value, same commonality.

Does not requires a new save and will ask you for updating all world items when using an already existing one.

Does not make your save game dependent on the mod either.

Should be compatible with anything.

On game start, a report should be available in the log. Here is what it is without other mods.

[A15] No thoughts for hostile prisoners.

No more bad thought for prisoners you captured from an hostile faction.

[A15] No thoughts for hostile prisoners

The mod

You may now treat prisoners from an hostile faction as you wish without getting bad thoughts.
This means : execute / kill, sell or harvest organs.

Executing, selling or treating badly a pawn from a non-hostile faction (such as your own colony) will still get you bad thoughts.
Other prisoners will still get bad thoughts if the badly treated pawn is from a non-hostile faction or their own faction.

Unlike the "no organs thoughts" or "no thoughts on prisoners died or sold", this mod won't overwrite the vanilla thoughts but it's all about faction relations instead.

Known issues

Please report any issues you may have.

Features

This mod improves the food selection for all your pawn (colonists, prisoners, pets).

• Food policies:
• • Assign a food policy individually for all your pawns.
  • Available preset of policies. (Standard, prisoners, ascetic, meals only, no hunt, food for animals only...).
  • Forbid, allow or prioritize certain categories of food (eg: awful meals for ascetic colonists).
  • Create your own policies using XML.

• Preset policies:   
  
  •    Plant eating pets will always try to fetch wild grass first instead of that package meal they stand next to (see more bellow).
       Corpses eating pets will always fetch humanlike corpses before anything else. (I assume your colonists don't want to butcher and eat them).
  • Animals like huskies will prefer simple meals and nutrient paste over kibble... that's right. Nutrient paste is much more efficient than kibble. The mod allows the dispenser to force the output of meals.
  • Pets will NEVER drink beers, eat crops or fertilized eggs.

• Improved nutrient paste dispenser:

• • The dispenser will now pick ingredients smartly. Bad tasting raw food > tasty raw food > insect meat > human meat.
    If your pawn is cannibal, it will use human meat at first ! It also prefer ingredients that will rot sooner.
  • You can also force the dispenser to output meals. Very useful when preparing for a travel.
  • Visitors will now use the Nutrient paste dispenser. Seriously, why do visitors take the raw food from hoppers instead of using the dispenser ?
  • Fixes the vanilla error when wardens want to bring food to a prisoner in a room with a dispenser.
  • (Optional) Cannibal nutrient paste meal is now a separated item. Useful to avoid to stack it and mix ingredients with non cannibal meals.
  • Colonists may use the Nutrient Paste Dispenser from a prisoner's room to feed injured prisoners.

• Predator pets (default policy):

• • When not injured, pets will always try to find a prey to hunt within their allowed area before fetching any other food, depending on its policy.

• Ascetic colonists (default policy):

• • Ascetic characters will now prefer meals (paste > simple > kibble > fine > lavish) that are more cost-efficient than raw food, instead of being indifferent.

• Incapacitated colonists (default policy):

• • (Default enabled) Why feed those useless colonists with lavish meals when they can't even have a mental break ? Feed them like prisoners instead.

• Taming & Training:

• • Just like pets follow the food priority order, colonists will pick food the same way for animal interaction.
  • (Default disabled). If enabled, your colonists will use corpses to tame and train animals (unstable).

• Caravans:

• • The food selection works for caravans inventory aswell.
  Visitors and guests:
• Visitors have an improved behavior but you cannot assign them a policy.
  

Food priority order


* Prisoners

Nutrient paste > Simple meal > Fine meal > Raw tasty* > Raw food > Lavish meal > Corpse > Humanlike corpse

* Pets (when part of their diet).

that's a long list...
Grass > Hunting (predator race) > Humanlike corpse > Hay > Kibble > Human raw meat > Insect raw meat > Raw food bad > Raw food tasty* > Corpses > Insect corpses > Nutrient paste > Simple meal > Fine meal > Lavish meal

For example:

* Muffalo's diet: Grass > Hay > Kibble > Nutrient paste > Simple meals > Vegetables > Raw food tasty*

* Husky's diet: Humanlike corpse > Kibble > Human raw meat > Insect raw meat > Corpses > Insect corpses > Nutrient paste > Simple meal > Raw food bad > Raw food tasty* > Fine meal > Lavish meal

* Warg's diet: Hunting > Humanlike corpse > Human raw meat > Insect raw meat > Raw food bad > Corpses > Insect corpses


*Raw food tasty = (berries, milk)

Compatibility

Smarter food selection should now be compatible with most mods that adds new food

Combat Extended
Colonists trying to tame will repeatedly pick up and drop food as fast as possible, throwing an exception.

However some foods could be wrongly categorized driving your pawns to incorrectly select their food (in the wrong priority order).
You can easily create a compatibility patch for a specific mod:
Go to the the Defs/Compatibility folder of the mod and use core.xml as a template. A quick guide to how to make a patch is provided.

Known issues and limitations

* You CANNOT assign a policy to a pawn in a caravan. However the latest policy you assigned him will be active while he's traveling.

* HARMLESS. With Psychology, you will get an error message on start. This is harmless and you can totally play normaly with this.
* Colonists will not fill the hoppers to get food from the NPD.
* Taming colonists will pick unlimited quantities of food when no appropriate food is available for the tamee. ONLY when "control pets" option is disabled.
* (Maybe) some performance issues when having a lot of pets.
* Some pets like cats will wrongly prefer simple and nutrient paste over kibble.

Please report any other issue...

any chance of you uploading your mods to steam workshop?

[Wishmaster]

Unfortunately no. If I could I would do since so many ask it for good reasons.

[mirsan]

Can I control Pawns to use hay first for taming and feed hurt animal with hay?

I'm lack of food and stupid pawns are feeding animal with raw food and cooked ones.

Can I control Pawns to use hay first for taming and feed hurt animal with hay?

For some reasons, you can't use hay. Your colonists will get kibble first instead.
Btw you don't really control your pawns. The mod just changes how they behave however, you can customize that with options.

edit: Actually you can use hay, and even grass ! That's right. Your colonist you pick up grass to feed it to your muffalo.

However, your colonist will only pick food within the allowed area of your pet.
Also using grass to feed injured pets takes a lot of time... I should fix that.

[Wacoede]

Unfortunately no. If I could I would do since so many ask it for good reasons.

ok now I'm curious why can you not upload to workshop? no steam account?

[Wishmaster]

I don't use steam for my games for some reasons.

[cbtendo]

hmmm?
i didn't see any "ex-prisoner still eat using prisoner routine after they were recruited when using hospitality" in known issues. Is it already been fixed?

[Iwillbenicetou]

how do you use the compatibility version of Smarter food selection for VG. I would really like to use both mods.

[Killerdoom14]

Hey, I find that if a visitor comes by or traders, that every single carnivor like Cougars and Jaguars will all converge on that location to hunt 1 single pawn. Is this normal? Any way to fix this? So many bad relations...
