Reasonable crashout

goat mod thanks now i no longer have to watch my pawns haul ass like an obese herd of snails whenever there's a raid because these glorified triggerpullers can be just stationed there. You're a hero

I love how this mod works fine if you actually know how to read, but the comments are still full of screaming children whining about what are probably mod conflicts

mod saved my children great mod

And on this day the comments have been returned. Will users post their log when they get errors? Find out in the next comment!

sned help this mod made the game crash

@Thekiborg Need to get one of my modpack users to send more. Sorry, gimmie a bit 😅

MOD BROKE FIX!

i neeeeeeed a loooooooooooog

Hi, great mod. This appears to break the workdrones from VFE: Mechanoids.

JobDriver threw exception in toil MakeNewToils's preInitActions[1] for pawn broadcast workdrone 2 driver=JobDriver_GuardPath (toilIndex=0) driver.job=(GuardingP_GuardPath (Job_196195867) Giver = JobGiver_Work [workGiverDef: null])
System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

I would love to have a log

Not sure why but mechanoids I have standing guard don't fire on enemies in their range unless I draft them. I am using basic biotechs militors with nothing modifying there behaviour.

I was wondering, is there going to be a way to have like a "squad" that engages once a hostile has entered a specific area. Like a rapid response squad. If not a trigger but something where I can with a click of a button rally a certain unit. I know Defensive Positions does something like this, but not automatically.

uhh i dont change that but i will look into it?

Combat mechs spend 10% energy per day instead 3% (idle) when guarding, since they are not actually fighting can you make them spend less? Thanks!

No, I don't think I will at leat anytime soon
I'd like to do DLC compat first and that's still some ways to go..

will you be adding reaction forces for killing incoming enemies?

Phalanx and Soldat mechs have higher priority things to do than guard your pawns. Like slaughtering animals, cooking, and cleaning. Once all those things are done then they will have the option to guard and show up on the guard tab. If you want them to guard all the time, ask the DMS people to stop making them do other jobs, or you can make a patch so they won't do other jobs yourself.

I have yet to actually get it to work properly once, They just flat out do not have the proper job worktype to do guarding, They just physically can not so if someone told you it works with DMS they are wrong

I've been confirmed this mod works with DMS but it does so sporadically. The mechanoids will stop appearing on the guard tab following some logic on DMS that makes them start doing jobs that they are not assigned to, disappearing from the ones they are assigned to.

i can now make a realistic medeval kingdom now :D

After testing more this infact does not work with Dead mans's switch's mechs none of them have a "Guarding" work activities

Can you add a feature to search for pawns to protect?

No they won't go to them on their own

can you use this to have them man defensive emplacements for their guard job?

Odd because i could only do it with a militor... not a Phalank or a Soldat

It already does

Is there a way to get this to work with Dead mans switch's mechs?

this mod is almost as sexy as you are theki dear

yeag

how do i make patrol spot

Perfect. That will work nicely for my warrior caste; can have them split their time between training and guarding/patrolling.

Yes

So, just to make sure I understand this correctly. Pawns would, during any scheduled "work" periods, go stand at or patrol along points marked by the correct colour. But they would still leave their post to go sleep or eat, yeah?

Would there happen to be an option to automatically draft guarding pawns when a raid alert happens?

Oh yea h CAI was one of the mods this one was made in mind of

This mod pairs pretty well with 'Silent Raids' and the 'CAI 5000' fog
btw thx for the mod

There are buttons in the UI to do that, I think that suffices.

This mod is simply the best one there is! But, one suggestion: Can you make an option for the spots to render only when there are no guards?

log

Hello, i'm getting a weird crash everytime i assigned a mechanoid to a guarding spot, and then a manhunter pack spawns, the game crashed immediately after the guarding mechanoid fires its first shot lmao

Can you assign animals to be guards?

Is there a way to set the walking speed of the pawn while they're patroling? Like change between walk/run/sprint? When I used this mod a while back they would be slowling walking from one spot to another, now they run like crazy lol

@Khias I can't reproduce it on my end, ima need a log.

😭 i'll look into it

Loading a save resets all guards to "unassigned", I assume it's not supposed to do that?

Nice, thank you and happy new year!

Pushed an update. Happy new year

So that's why Trunkzouu's NRE is happening that's so helpful

Also having any objects connected to a wall that a guard spot is bordering, like a wall light, will force the pawn to stare at the wall regardless of the direction you had the guard spot facing.
