Since people report mod working with 1.6, I'm going to update About.xml to reflect 1.6 support. Please report if any issues will arise.

@yellowdotchunk mod works with 1.6

@Komunre Sorry to bother, but would it be updated for 1.6 since it's out?

Has anyone made an unofficial update to this mod into 1.6?

looking forward for 1.6 update!

Since new update is soon, I'm gonna revisit this mod for workbench requirement update once DLC releases. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to implement it though considering lack of DLCs and experience with them to test it, but it should be fine for at least base game.

Have had no issues in 1.6 so far.

you sir are my hero

I love this mod. cuz i mostly play either Naked survival or tribals so its godly.

most is locked from ultra tech and mere skin hardening takes 34 000p even then you got print to unlock then you industrial (17x) that some hardcore research (^-^)b , makes you stagnate a little unlike speedruns

Current code has nothing to do with benches. Only GameComponentTick increases research progress, and does not involve any bench checks.

this is also suprisingly working in EMI field ... and somewhat broken cause i have high demands for cross Tech level researches, untill i kill Apocriton i cant reach spacer Tech .. so it takes 7x time ... (also need to research all other tech of industrial and below) so this is massive helper, even though i already had like 70% done
..
..
i got like 120 mods so yea i got researches of up to at leat 10million points to do them all D: got 3 lv20 researchers with bionics and many buffs from archotech and transhumanists (with genetics they barely sleep on quick sleeper trait + sleep accelerator xD )

is it just me or its 0,7 per BENCH ?

oml this mod is SO DAMN USEFUL CAUSE MY COLONISTS NEVER RESERCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for making this it's really useful.

thank you brother, that's exactly what I needed to get the baby lone mechanitor scenario working!

Yeah I understand
While you're at it, consider social interaction that also gives research points based on average research capabilities of pawns involved.
Could be at slightly higher chance of those happening if pawn is busy researching
Meaning that putting two or more research benches in close vicinity provide small synergy since researchers would ocasionally talk to each other about ongoing project.

For balance purposes maybe limit it all to only pawns capable of reserch and above certain skill?
Because I somehow doubt that Bob the Semi-Sentient Roomba missing half a brain and unable to write, read or even hold the pen would (or even could) provide suggestion on functions of charged weaponry or cryosleep.

hm, sounds like a fun idea. I may implement it one day. But balancing such would be hard.

I like the idea, but implementation is not exactly what I'm looking for.
What I was thinking about was mod that gives pawns chance to get "Research thoughts" (for a lack of better term) and it would deposit small point ammount into current project based on Intelectual skill plus some random points.
Because I know I don't stop thinking about problem just because I left workplace.
And sometimes uninvolved people who know about problem can suggest ideas on said problem.

Settings are applied immediately. You can confirm that by changing it to some relatively big value and then back to normal.

big question, do new settings get applied only after a restart? I was thinking of doing a colony with the speed changing dynamically, but ofc it wouldn't work if settings are applied only on game restart

now time to lock up "hammer" in the research dungeon!

this is gonna make it so much easier.

Thxmate

Supported version updated to be 1.1-1.5!

Going to start working on roadmap soon. Possible future updates: 1.3 and less support, readdition of workbench availability check, changes in regards to newest DLC.

O7

Updated to 1.5. Good luck with gaming.

Godspeed, my friend. <3

You'll be able to figure it out. Good luck.

Wish you the best of luck, comrade. Разъеби этот код, верю в тебя

Either should be just recompiled or good luck to me with new RM API. Will start lookking into it.

Doesn't look like this mod is fully compatible with 1.5, or possibly there's a compatibility bug with other mods. This error gets thrown every frame, and prevents me from performing right-click actions, like trading with visitors:

System.FieldAccessException: Field `RimWorld.ResearchManager:currentProj' is inaccessible from method `PassiveResearch.PassiveProgress:GameComponentTick ()'

Hmm. Added it to a current save in 1.5 and doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

I guess I could load it in and see if it still works.

This mod should not have any compatibility issue with 1.5 or any other new versions. It involves miniscule amount of RimWorld API and overall is very small. I should be able to recompile it to a new version immediately. I am just unwilling to involve myself with experimental branch, as it might introduce a few issues with assembly compatibility.

I didn't know how much work it was to update to 1.5. I know slowly mods are getting converted over, with hopefully all the major ones done by the time the new DLC drops.

I'm just not good at pawn management, so research always ticks slow for me.

Nope, that was me. I accidentally deleted it.

Also, sorry JCourtney, I think I accidentally deleted your comment

That is a good idea. It's nice for the people that will still be on 1.4 for a long time as they wait for their stable of mods to update.

That was quite fast.

This is one of my most important mods it turns out.

Thanks for taking a look at it.

Actually not going to update until 1.5 is on stable branch. By that point I will probably create support for both 1.4 and 1.5 separately, to have backwards compatibility.

This mod is exactly what the game needs, there is just too much stuff added with mods to be able to dedicate multiple people to research.

thanks for the cool mod :3
With 300 mods researching turns into a real annoying slog tbh so Im glad this exists to make it a bit more fun

Mod will be updated to include workbench check option in time period of few weeks maximum, as I have to code it again, since updated sources seem to be missing.

Actually I just remembered I updated it from outdated github repo, which should have removed some functionality. Whoopsies!

Mod has been recompiled to exclude unity assemblies. Comment if any issues arise

Your mod has unity assemblies, packed in, which can break stuff, can you recompile your mod with just your assemblies? The hugslog shows all the assemblies loaded by your mod

Three cases, zero logs. How do you all expect me to fix something that is not reproducable on most of the people's installations including mine, while not providing any info about yours?

Third case of the map bugging out
