Hope it helps anyone!

I've been trying to learn enough to do a quick & dirty update of the mod myself since the author doesn't appear to be responsive, but I'm currently stuck. Plus, since I don't actually know how to code, I probably couldn't fix any (likely to appear) bugs that'd come from repackaging the mod for 1.3. Someone with a bit more knowledge would have to either help me or update it themself.

Is this still being supported?

1.3?

Hm. So, "Vanilla Traits Expanded" includes a menu to disable the spawning of any unwanted traits from third-party mods like yours … and usually, that's enough.

However, given that your mod is (awesomely!) more complicated, and actually detours vanilla C# methods in an (apparently?) possibly-costly way; would it be reasonable to ask you to add your *own* settings-menu, in which I could, for example, totally disable "Animal Empathy" and all of its detours / associated performance-impact?

Is it midsafe compatible?

Yes, there could be performance issues. For example, Animal Empathy needs to patch a number of functions in order to enforce proper behavior: preventing the AI from selecting invalid targets, preventing the player from selecting invalid targets, and penalizing the pawn for accidentally or "accidentally" harming animals. The overall impact seems to be unnoticeable, but losing a frame or two during very large (~200) raids wouldn't be surprising. Most mods will have some amount of overhead.

This sounds really interesting, could there be any performance issue arising from this?

I believe I've fixed the issue: by mistake, the mod was relying on JecsTools without it being a dependency, causing it to error out if not present. I've properly encapsulated it so that JecsTools is optional.

below mentioned is still broken, yes i do use the latest version, yes i did resubscribe, nice mod idea but until that issue is fixed im gonna have to pass

Thank you for the report. The error was entirely my fault, not due to mod conflicts. I'm sorry if it impacted your play. I have uploaded a fix. Due to my poor planning, this fix includes a new, partially-implemented trait. It is not currently functional. It should not appear randomly, but I advise selecting it using Prepare Carefully or scenario rules.

I get an error in the log when trying to aim (weapons, turrets, mortars etc) manually. Where and whether would you like me to send you the details, perhaps you have a GitHub? It's most certainly because of an incompatibility with some other mod.

This mod is worth it for Drunken Master alone!

I just wanted to thank you for a great and balanced trait mod - these really expand and impact the whole gameplay of the RimWorld. "Drunken Master" is especially great as it links game mechanics with the story, as for proper use of that trait you risk turning your colonist into a raging alcoholic. I encourage you to create more! :D

WOOO! Time to be a drunk monk that lives in a giant nest of spiders :D
