Guarding Pawns

Description
This mod adds 3 different jobs to protect your colony and pawns from possible threats.

Features:
  • Guarding and Patrolling Spots inside the Security category.
  • A Guard tab to handle all the mod's features.
  • Options to stop rendering both Guarding Spots and Patrolling Spots, for aesthetic purposes.
  • Compatibility with Biotech, allowing mechanoids to guard.


UI Content:

Only Pawns assigned to the Guard job in the Work tab will be shown here!
  • Select Job will allow you to assign your pawns to different jobs. Currently, the options are:
    1. Unassigned - The pawn will do nothing. This is the default choice.
    2. Guard Spot - The pawn will sit at one of the spots of the designated color, constantly looking for enemies.
    3. Protect Pawn - The pawn will constantly follow the designated pawn, protecting them from threats.
    4. Patrol - The pawn will follow a route made of the spots of the designated color, looking for enemies along the way.
  • Extra options for the selected job. These change depending on the selected job:
    1. Unassigned - No button will be shown.
    2. Guard Spot - Lets you to change what set of spots where you want the pawn to stand, differentiated by colors.
    3. Protect Pawn - Lets you choose the pawn you wish to protect.
    4. Patrol - Lets you change the route color the pawn will follow when patrolling.
      It also includes a checkbox to indicate wether the pawn should return to the first spot after reaching the last one (1 - 2 - 3) or loop back when reaching the last spot ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 1).
  • The Show Patrolling Spot and Show Guarding Spot checkboxes will stop the respective spots from rendering.


Future plans:
  • Ideology and Anomaly support

Hi. Would it be possible to make it so guards can protect non-player colony pawns? The general idea being that you could assign bodyguards to visitors to keep them safe + have them socialize often.

Yes its possible for mechs to guard.
Giliduck are you seeing any errors in your log

Am I missing something or is it just me, but my militors when on guard duty (any of the 3 kinds) do not respond to threats with ranged attacks, only when they themselves are attacked will they respond with melee. I have to draft them in place to make them do ranged attacks.

goat mod thanks now i no longer have to watch my pawns haul ass like an obese herd of snails whenever there's a raid because these glorified triggerpullers can be just stationed there. You're a hero

I love how this mod works fine if you actually know how to read, but the comments are still full of screaming children whining about what are probably mod conflicts
