DefendBase Harmony Patch Help Please

I posted this to the Harmony Tools forum here:

Alright, so I'm having some trouble with a Harmony mod.

}

I'm very new to C# and modding. I've been getting help from the forum and the Rimworld Discord. But I've run into a problem. When I test this in game it doesn't allow me to select world tiles unless they are occupied and zoomed out, it creates duplicate side-tabs(ex: Low Food), and it doesn't do what the code says to do. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I was testing in a clean environment, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

So yeah, even when the code is stripped to its bare bones, it still doesn't work. I even realized that the [StaticConstructorOnStartup] was missing, and put it in the code. But no dice. LWM, do you know what might be happening?

Are you sure your patch is even being called? You can throw a Log.Message into the patch so that it puts something in the debug log when called. Ensure that your patch is being called first, because it's starting to sound like it isn't.

This is the sort of thing I do for debugging Harmony that doesn't work:
Also, you have to have an actual C# static constructor?  Maybe that's it.

Awesome! That worked! It's making them wait five days before counter-attacking! Thank you LWM and K! The only problem now is the fact that there was one single enemy pawn that aggro'd before all the others (you sure this shouldn't be a prefix?), the map tile un-select-ability (someone on discord said that the mod could be 'suppressing inputs'?), and the duplicate 'tabs'/alerts (how is this messing with the alerts?). p.s.-I'll work on the debug when I get back home.

Can I use this?:
