Categorized Cleaning - Split

Description
Splits the cleaning filth work into three, in descending priority order:
  • Cleaning sterile rooms (kitchens, hospital and laboratories)
  • Cleaning indoors
  • Cleaning outdoors and in barns

There are already plenty of cleaning mods.
While there are certainly alternatives (for example: Cleaning Priority, Cleaning Area), they use player-configured areas. I wanted a more automated solution.

I want different rooms to be considered sterile.
Which rooms are considered sterile and which are considered outdoor rooms can be configured in settings.

Why two versions? What's the difference?
While it'd be possible to make the difference between the versions configurable in the settings insted, it'd require an approach more prone to causing issue with mod interoperability.
The combo version:
  • Splits the cleaning job into three, but puts them all under the same work type
  • Plug 'n play
  • Colonists will automatically prioritize cleaning by location
  • Will work with any other mods
The split version:
  • Splits the cleaning job into three, and puts them under separate work types
  • Requires configuring work priorities
  • Player can prioritize (or disallow) cleaning specific locations
  • May restrict modded cleaning robots to only cleaning outdoors depending on implementation

What's with the colorful squares in that screenshot?
It's a debug drawing mode that displays which category filth is sorted into. You can enable it with a dev command!

Non-steam version and old releases can be found here.

@The Atomic Option We've fixed that earlier today. Make sure both mods are up to date.

When used with Common Sense mod that makes pawns clean things before starting a job, this prevents them from doing the job. Can you make this compatible with Common Sense or does he need to make his mod compatible with yours?

Just tried this out and yes: I don't thin I'll be able to play Rimworld without it anymore. Awesome mod, going right into the 1.6 starter list. Thank you!
