Allow Animal Areas (No Pens)

Description
Makes animals use the old (v1.2) area designations, rather than the new (v1.3) pen system.

I've always hated the new system, that some animals require pens. Maybe it's just the good memories from pre-v1.3 where your animals could just roam wherever you wanted. Now those times are back.

Pretty fun when you want untrained animals to ambush raiders or something.

Now which setting would break it ?

I found the incompatible mod! Tweaks Galore breaks it, only took a few hours to find it lol. I appreciate all you've done with this mod and helping me with suggestions on how to get it to work!!

Howdy everyone, I've made sure the AAA patch is working on v1.6 for Odyssey

Also, shows this working on v1.5 (Anomaly) from an existing save

probably not the same issue, i think my issue was related to updating the mod for steam and it somehow being mismatched and just not working.
you can always try and unsubscribe to this mod, load a game, resubscribe and try that.
i seemingly load this mod as one of my last few mods if that helps.

but my previous suggestion about creating a new modlist, and adding little by little as you test is probably my best suggestion i can offer at the moment.

actually, i think i've replicated this issue. investigating now :)

@Derpy Raikou
It's possible that you have a mod that breaks compatibility somehow, or even some of the DLC may change the way things work. I only own the base game so it's not something I can really check or compare.

My suggestion to you (and others) would be to start a new map to do some testing with just RIMWORLD CORE plus AAA_NP to make sure the mod even works for you. From there, you can load the same map and save, with more mods to figure out what is causing the issue.
(inversely, you can use your current modlist and disable a few at a time until it works as expected)
I play normally with a longer list of mods, but that was just to show what should be happening or what to expect.

You can always try putting this mod at the bottom of the list too maybe? That and temporarily disabling mods.

testing the patch on the 'unstable - public testing' v1.6 test branch of vanilla Rimworld. confirmed its working :)

Just coming back to the game again after a bit, appreciate your video showing step by step, but i still can't get it to work :( recreated your video steps, and everything. the only difference i can find is you only used this mod, where my list is...long. put it at the top of the load order under the game and dlcs even
Evono 5 May @ 5:17pm 
Where should this be loaded ? at the top? at the bottom ? doesnt matter ? pls add this info in the description :) rimsort kinda puts it atm somewhere.
