DJMurtz could you please post your HugsLib error report so that we can help further? Error snippets don't always show the best picture. Also, for the comp oversized weapon, are you using Lightsabers or Forsaken mod? I think I remember them using those. Although I'm sure others do as well. Also, I would recommend that you try the game with only Core and Fog of War, and see if you still have the same issues. If not, then you have a mod conflict.

EDIT: Also to the author - could we get any rough estimates on how this mod affects performance? I feel like I am right at the threshold of what I would call performance acceptability. And I really want to play with this mod, but was curious about it's load on the CPU.

Also, could we ever have an option to start with the map "explored" but still have the fog of war? I ask because I almost always use a mountain base, and from what I can recall, I want to say it looked like I was going to have issues using my More Planning mod to plan out squares into the mountain where I had not yet mined, so there was still a fog over them. Don't quote me on that last part, but I want to say that's how I remember it looking, and thinking about how it may give me some issues down the line. However the more I think about it, I want to say that vanilla behaves this way as well, having any parts of the mountain "undiscovered" until you mine to them.

I have another "bug" report that I am not sure is caused by this mod, but I will investigate. I figured I'd report it anyway, since it might be related, and it might be that you know what I'm talking about and know how to fix this.

It seems that if I mark multiple animals for taming, and the animals are not within line of sight, there's a constant stutter every x seconds due to (I guess?) some kind of extreme pathing calculations going on? As soon as I cancel the taming, the stutter goes away, and the stutter also becomes less as I reduce the number of animals marked for taming (I'm talking about 1 to 4 marked animals, with a noticable difference in stutter between having one or four marked).

Thanks for the heads-up about the HugsLib error report, I'll do that next time. As for the bug I reported, I didn't see your reply earlier, so I edited the original post, but I found out the issue was actually due to the latest version of "Jec's Tools", reverting to an older version solved the problems for me.

Messages are displayed, but they will point at the event starting position (vanilla game messages follow pawns).

Ahhh, I was looking for this mod for ages!  Please update it!  It added so much to my campaigns :D!

Apparently you can play with B19 version.

Just change the "Target Version" on the About file in the Mod and you should be OK. Read about this on the steam page of the mod

Maybe someone's asked this in the last 5 pages of the post, but what happens if you try to select something in the "visited but not currently visible" fog that no longer exists? Does this present any real exploitable advantage if you're told it's not there anymore?

Update 1.5.0

Change log:

  • Updated to 1.0
  • Optimized FoW updates triggered by doors opening/closing and elements construction/destruction
  • Optimized FoW graphic updates (CPU load reduced by ~70%)
  • Other little improvements

With latest optimizations, on a mid-rage PC playing a big sized map with ~10 colonists and ~40 animals, performances are almost the same of the base game without the mod.

Once an object has been seen, it remains visible and you/pawns can interact with it normally.

Thank you for another beautiful update.  Sleekest mod in Rimworld so far, baby :D

You fiend! I doubt I will be able to play Rimworld without this mod now. It's just too..epic. Especially when combined with the Real Ruins mod.
