No Reasons To Avoid Mothballing

It is hard for me to locate the hediffdef without Cherrypicker , hope it will update to 1.5 soon.

----------------------------------------1.4 description--------------------------------------------

Some simple patches try to reduce the system load.

------ 6/9/2023 update------
A new quest named "Worldpawn Ascent" now available.
A faction is going to send some passangers into the stars, but sensors indicate that there is a mechanoid swarm on the lower orbit stands on their way. They want you to signal the mechs to distract them while the faction launch the starship. If you do, a mechanoid cluster will land at map.
The game will run world pawn GC after the mechanoid cluster has landed, this world pawn GC function is provided by Rimworld 1.4 version(you can find it in Dev.mode).
DLC Royalty required because of the mech cluster presents.

Q & A:

1.What is "mothballing"?
say a pirate apeared on your home map, at the moment he was "alive".

your guys beated him hard and he started to flee, he was still "alive" before he walked out the map.

finally he walked out the map and you can not track him anymore, but since he had a Go-juice and the effect(hediff) was still on going, the game had to simulate him. He is now a "worldpawn" and "alive"

after some time the Go-juice effect has gone, there was no need to monitor him anymore, calculate his hunger or sleep need seemed useless. The game then decided every 1/4 day only update his age record, this is so called "mothballing a worldpawn".

from the story you may find 3 basic status when the game running a pawn simulation:
"alive" - the pawn's all parameters have to be simulated every game tick
"mothballing" - only the age will be updated every 1/4 ingame day
"dead" - somebody is dead but not sleeping

and generally 2 types of pawns:
pawn at home(map)
worldpawn(caravan or backstage)

2.What is "hediff"?
hediff = buff/debuff if you plaw WOW.

3.How the mod works?
Mod patched some hediffs with properties "alwaysAllowMothball" and "alwaysAllowMothballCached".

4.I would like to create a patch.
Find Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2977691833\Patches , there is an example. The mod name should come from the mod's about.xml file.
