Shoo Zone - Customizable Animal Ejection Zones

Description
Tired of alpacas raiding your dinner table? Fed up with foxes napping in your hospital beds? This mod lets you create invisible "Shoo Zones" where colonists will professionally evict unwanted animal guests with the ancient art of enthusiastic arm-waving!

HOW THE MAGIC WORKS:
Your colonists become part-time animal bouncers, politely but firmly directing critters toward the exit. Animals get the hint and flee in 30-tile sprints toward zone boundaries. If they're particularly stubborn (we're looking at you, thrumbos), colonists will escalate to "enhanced persuasion techniques" after 4 attempts!

QUICK START GUIDE:
1. Architect Menu → Zone → "Shoo Zone" (find the new zone tool)
2. Paint invisible zones wherever animals aren't welcome
3. Bottom-right toggle button reveals zones when you need to see them
4. Click any zone → "Shoo Settings" to customize the eviction policy

ZONE CUSTOMIZATION:
Each zone is like hiring a specialized bouncer - configure whether to shoo wild party-crashers, your own tamed pets, or even bonded animal family members. Every zone can have its own personality!

MOD SETTINGS BUFFET:
• Set default policies for new zones (because who has time to configure every zone?)
• Adjust how far animals sprint when shooed (10-50 tiles of "NOPE!")
• Control how persistent your colonists are (1-10 attempts before going nuclear)
• Toggle skill experience rewards - your colonists learn valuable life skills!
• Enable animal aggression reactions (some critters don't appreciate the eviction notice)

QUALITY OF LIFE FEATURES:
• Zones stay invisible during normal play (zero visual clutter!)
• No notification spam - your colonists handle business quietly
• Works perfectly with fences, walls, and other barriers
• Compatible with modded animals (even if they're weird)
• Smart prioritization targets dangerous animals first

Perfect for keeping your fancy dining rooms, sterile hospitals, and pristine workshops blissfully animal-free! Because sometimes you need a muffalo-free zone to maintain your sanity. 🍽️✨

I was looking for something to replace the mod Shoo! since it's not 1.6 ready yet, this looks like it might be perfect. But uh... does "enhanced persuasion techniques" mean they go from shooing to shooting? Because I'd rather just let the thrumbos eat the dang healroot than tangle with them if they are feeling stubborn...
