One-Way Pause Button

Makes spacebar a one-way pause button—it can only pause the game, never unpause. To unpause, hit one of the gamespeed buttons (number keys 1-4). No more accidental unpausing during critical events!

• Spacebar only pauses the game
  
• Spacebar no longer unpauses the game
  
• Use speed controls to unpause (number keys 1-4)
  
• Prevents accidental unpausing

Note: If you don't want to disable spacebar unpausing but you still want "unpause protection" during surprise events, consider using Safe Pause mod instead—it's a more elegant solution, with configurable settings.

This mod only modifies one small method in TickManager, and is now highly compatible with nearly all mods. Works with:

• Camera+
  
• Safe Pause
  
• More Visible Pause
  
• No Forced Slowdown
  
• And pretty much any other mod...

• Added compatibility with:
  
  • Camera+ (fixed a hilarious interaction that made the spacebar do the opposite of intended)
    
  • Safe Pause (minor Harmony patch)
    
• Added mod config setting in-game if you want to toggle it off or on

• Initial release
