4. Done.
Repeat this process for other policies and THEN change between them in one click. WIN!

People feedback
"This mod has saved me a ton of aggravation when it comes to saving my animals during raids. I have an unrestricted (auto) policy during non-raids. When there's a raid I have another policy called "hide" and they go indoors. If it's an infestation I use another policy where my animals rally in a canyon and eat grass while I kill the bugs" by asquirrel

"My God, I do hate to have to restrict every single animal and pawn individually.. This is the answer to my prayers!" by FreyaMaluk

"Thanks for this, just alt-tabbed out of my game in exasperation to look for a mod that would do this - a heat wave hit for the second time in just a few days and I have to tell 25 guys to go put on dusters instead of standing outside in their jackets till they go insane" by sapling

Thanks Lucifer. I'll do test run with anchors.
Lucifer Verone 13 hours ago 
@VouLT. The gist of it is, i got an ancient complex on my map, i travelled there and liked the layout of the map. So I put down a grav anchor there.

I left that location and went somewhere else. After like 2 jumps I tried to change my apparel but all of them were set to the apparel policy currently active.

I had 4 apparel policies, Default, Draft, Duster and Parka. I took off with parka and on the new map all the apparel policies were showing parka.

So to try and fix this i jumped back to the location of my grav anchor and all of a sudden my apparel policies were working again.

Unfortunately i took off after that to see if that fixed the issue but it didnt, and a raid happened on the grav anchor location and destroyed the anchor. So now im just stuck with the issue.

Hi @Lucifer, I don't really understand by what you are trying to explain. Could you explain it, step-by-step, so I can reproduce it without doubts?
Lucifer Verone 26 Aug @ 8:56am 
@VouLT Could it be a mechanic of the game?

Because I put down a Grav anchor on tile and then moved around. When i was away my settings were reset and nothing was saved. But when I returned to the site with the Grav Anchor my setting returned. Is this supposed to happen?

Well, here is my modlist: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3552084136

It's pretty small and most of these are also popular ones. None of these should be an issue in my opinion expect vanilla expanded framework maybe. If VEF is really the culprit, I suspect you'd want to find out.

Apparel policies work fine with my mod list. I assume you have mod conflict that is causing the reset.
Lucifer Verone 23 Aug @ 3:13pm 
Apparel policies are getting reset. I had 4 presets set, after moving maps none of them were active. What they were assigned to at the time of launch is the default for all presets now.

Sadly, apparel policies keep getting reset in my case. I had to reconfigure the apparel policies of my pawns over a dozen times now and I'm growing tired of it.

What I mean by reset: I have three policies (Default, Space and Planet). Space and Planet keep getting overridden resulting in all policies having the same apparel configuration again.
