Smarter Construction

Description
Stop your pawns from constantly building themselves into a wall or blocking something that hasn't been built yet. Great for filling sapper tunnels and rebuilding walls.

Currently only affects construction (not installing minified structures). Right click => construct will bypass the mod so you can trap things intentionally. Can be added and removed from saves, removing gives some one-time errors you can ignore.

Compatibility
  • Blueprints: fully compatible
  • Misc. Robots++: fully compatible
  • Home Mover: uses minify and install so it can still trap pawns
  • Replace Stuff: uses custom code so it can still trap pawns
  • Achtung!: if you force construction this mod won't apply, but it isn't really an issue since it has custom forced job logic
  • Linux: compatible again!

Performance
Now even faster, and with much less fps drop! Profiling revealed a 1.5% slowdown at the peak of the second gif (10 builders and ~600 wall segments at max speed), and no impact when not constructing anything. For optimization purposes areas of 50 100 tiles+ are considered open.

Found a bug?
Please post it in the bug reports thread with a full log and a screenshot if applicable.

Nice, then I can snooze on it.

@Smartkillerzo: seems very unlikely to be this mod, give log if you think it is.

I'm experiencing an issue when running the game.
In the Odyssey DLC, the spaceship fails to land as expected during the landing sequence.

Had no issues with this mod at all in 1.6, so kudos for your work. The getting stuck thing is also common with a few other mods. PU&H is completely broken in 1.6 and causes it and Mad Skillz also causes that behaviour in combination with other mods and mechanics like learning caps

It usually happens when I have one pawn doing a large set of jobs and they stay stuck till I cancel all the jobs.

If I have them do a few at a time it's can be fine.

I haven't seen the glitch happen recently so idk if it's still there.

It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but a fix is now live and it should work correctly without crashing. Enjoy!

As for pawns getting stuck I have seen it and have a hack for it, largely unchanged since RW 1.1. I personally almost never see it and when I do the hack quickly takes care of it. Do you see it often or do pawns get permanently stuck?

@soveriegn

It happens when pawns can complete jobs faster then they can move which leads to them queuing up over 10 jobs.

Try using this mod to fix it:
