ShutdownMechNoLieDown

Description
Don't you think it's strange for mechanoids to collapse when they're not even broken?
I mean, I get it for Lifters, with their ball-like feet. But for something as massive as a Diabolus or a Warqueen to topple over? That just seems unnatural, doesn’t it?
Well, no more! Now, mechanoids will no longer fall over during shutdown. They will remain standing, awaiting their next command – like proper robots!


Compatible with WVC - Work Modes.
A new gizmo is added, allowing you to specify the direction mechanoids face while shutting down in a shutdown zone.

done.
I found it a bit awkward to choose one of the four directions from the float menu, so starting in 1.6, I made it so you can change the direction by clicking and dragging the gizmo.
Personally, I think it feels way more intuitive, but when I shared it in chat, um...
So if you have any thoughts or feedback, I’d love to hear it.

updated it for 1.6, but the patch for WVC hasn't been done yet. I'll create it at a later date

awesome mod but i think it'd still be hilarious if you can somehow make a special exception for ball-bearing mechs so they still fall over when they're idle

bro,I made a translation for your mod and if you mind I will hide it.

Sr i can't give the log, huglib just go time out on me. I can give you the save if you wouldn't mind running 600+ mods, but I already charged all the downed mechs so it's no point.

I have almost 100 mechs in my base and enough chargers for them, only a few of them meet the issue, so I'm not sure what triggered it or when it happened. Only added this mod recently when the issue started.

And for the force charging, because the mech wasn't lied down so they are treated as healthy, the option wasn't shown. It can easily fix with fake down but it is hard to notice with a massive base like mine.

The log mostly spaming about mech threw exception in workgiver DoBillsMechGestator. But I think it unrelated.

@Shork with a Torpedo I am unable to reproduce the issue. I ran several tests using a lifter, and everything seems to be working properly in both normal work mode and WVC work mode with smart charging.
Please provide an error log or the steps to reproduce the issue if possible.

This mod makes mech sometimes ignore the smart charging and charge settings from WVC-work modes. They go shutdown wherever they reach 0% and can't be carried to charger unless I use fake down and wait for hauler to take them to charger, can't force work either.

But they only charge for 1-3% and then run around until shutdown again. Although the setting for minimum charge is 30-50%

@5150 It is safe to add or remove it. You can remove it as is, but it's even safer if you draft all mechanoids or put them in a state other than shutdown before removing it.

Is it safe to add or remove this mod mid-playthrough?
