Pawn Task Display

Description
Ever wondered what your colonists are up to at a glance? The Pawn Task Display mod adds a subtle and immersive way to keep track of what each of your colonists is currently doing by showing their task right below their name!

🛠 See Current Jobs: Easily monitor your pawns’ activities without constantly opening the job menu. Perfect for quickly understanding who's working, who’s slacking, or who might be in danger!

🐾 Human Colonists Only: To keep things clutter-free, task labels are shown only for your colonists and not for animals.

Whether you’re a micro-manager or simply curious about your colony's daily routine, this mod offers a convenient, immersive way to stay informed about your colony's activities.

Compatibility: Works with the latest version of RimWorld and should be compatible with most other mods. *Requires Harmony* Compatible with all languages.

❤️ Feedback Welcome: If you have any suggestions, feel free to share/rate/star on github/let me know!

Problem(s) noted:

Mod is a major contributor to TPS lag, even with performance mods that aim to help increase TPS. An immediate improvement was noted when the mod was disabled from the save, figured out by checking the console and found the mod was spamming the console almost every tick.

Probable Fix: Reduce the amount of times the mod can check the pawns current activities and/or change it to call for an update to the Task Display every time the pawns job changes.

Is there any chance of adding an option on when you want the tasks to display? I would personally love an option of it only displaying the task when you are zoomed in x amount as either zoomed in or out I feel it takes up a lot of my screen :)

I'm sadly removing it, the author seems to have disappeared and it just does not work that well (one minute delay some time between what is shown and what the pawn is doing for real, even with the option of one update per tick). There are bugs so ...

The mod although good is not perfect, by far. Even with a refresh every tick, the task displayed is often out of date and is not the one shown in the colonist info panel. Is it not possible to simply duplicate the line here?

Hi! I wanted to thank you for this mod (it;s very useful for learning that a pawn is doing at any time quickly), as well as making a couple of suggestions.

In the same vein as Toggleable Overlays , do you think it would be possible to add an option so that the task display is only available when hovering the cursor over the colonist, or using a hotkey to display all displays at the same time?

BladesofSharepness, thank you very much! I was playing and just thought to myself, "I wish I could see what they were doing without clicking on them." Of course, I had been meaning to try out modding, and it seemed like a simple enough project idea... the perfect time to try. :)

Hi RocketRacoon, I was annoyed too, so the mod will feature a 'disable logs' setting in the next release!

It's a good, original yet simple idea, keep up the good work!

Or actually I think it's spamming the logs only when devmode is on. Still it would be nice to have an option to disable this
