ferny  [author] 7 Aug @ 8:29am 
I'll do another look at this mod once my health's a little bit more fixed up
Witch ~ 7 Aug @ 8:20am 
Yea been struggling to find one thats up to date :(

@Witch ~ Sadly I don't think so, still looking for a mod that allows me to form shuttle caravan instantly

@Newfrag I've never seen heard or experienced this ever

This mod is breaking the bestower ceremony quest. It makes the bestowers path off the map immediately after landing with shuttle, thereby bricking the bestower questline permanently. Strangely it only happens with swamp biome (?)

Does this work with the 1.6 shuttles?
PreciousPlum 4 Aug @ 7:15pm 
So weird. Perhaps another mod conflicted then.
ferny  [author] 3 Aug @ 9:55am 
@PreciousPlum Mine works fine with that mod, all my modpack users have it
PreciousPlum 3 Aug @ 8:21am 
Conflicts with Almost There!

Gave many "missing image" errors repeatedly when caravan left. Caravan would make no progress towards destination and errors were spamming log. Anyhow, removed Almost There and the game runs great!

need shuttle patch

one of my favorite mods ever, i used to always use devmode to instantly form caravans because it made me lose my mind watching them slowly move shit around and then one guy goes on a mental break and another gets sleepy
Seanbeag 17 Jul @ 9:22am 
Is it possible to make this work with shuttles? It worked ok in 1.5 but they must have changed something when they introduced the Odyssey ones.

Hi Rimworlders... can anybody confirm if the latest version is multiplayer compatible?
shawyer 15 Jun @ 7:15pm 
Thank you!
PhoenixLabella 11 Jun @ 6:34pm 
Thank you, good sir.

v11 - updated to 1.6
ferny  [author] 11 Jun @ 12:38pm 
@ SuperBoyOk Won't effect it at all.
SuperBoyOk 11 Jun @ 12:29pm 
1.6 adds quick caravan formation, how will it effect this mod?
VORZAP 5 Jun @ 10:35am 
I'm using your modpack and found an exploit involving Visit Settlements and this mod. Basically, I can visit a settlement, grab all the valuables, and sell them back to the same faction instantly—without any diplomatic consequences. Since there’s no penalty, it creates an infinite economy loop. Just wanted to bring it to your attention!

@thesoupiest, use Drop All Inventory
Just select all your animals and click the drop button, and everything they are carrying will drop on the floor.
thesoupiest 12 May @ 1:03pm 
Would you consider making caravan UNLOADING also instant if no hostiles are present? I hate having to manually select recently-used caravan animals and dump all their inventory
Kirba 13 Apr @ 9:26am 
THANK YOU! Caravan formation is the most annoying thing in this game
Pepperoncino 6 Apr @ 3:15pm 
If you have 500 pawns, I don't think you have to worry about balance because that one was taken out the back and shot. Performance would be much more pressing issue :brotherskull:
Tenchi 5 Apr @ 2:58pm 
This is definitely overpowered compared to caravans taking a literal week to form when you have 500 pawns. Now if only this worked with vehicle...

@Sahar Not something i'm gonna cover, sorry but good idea
Sahar 30 Mar @ 2:13am 
Hey Ferny, is there a way to make the caravan list alphabetical?
Baouza 15 Mar @ 5:43am 
Great mod, i pretend to test in my next run
Marky Sparky 5 Feb @ 10:26am 
Absolutely godamn genius!
Im also waiting for vehicle caravans to get rolled in, but ill be making use of this loads regardless. Hell yeah man
ferny  [author] 5 Feb @ 12:08am 
@KawwaK The vehicle caravanning system is unfinished according to SmashPhil, and I won't integrate it until it's been properly given the ok
KawwaK 4 Feb @ 11:59pm 
One of my favorite mods, can't play without it. But the problem is nowadays I mostly play with vehicles and the mod doesn't work with vehicle caravans. Any plans to update it? Am I the only one with this problem?
Simo Häyhä 28 Jan @ 6:24am 
thanks genius
VitaKaninen 12 Jan @ 12:43pm 
@SimplePhysics, that is a vanilla mechanic, but you can drop what the animals are carrying with Character Editor, or the Drop all Inventory mod.
SimplePhysics 12 Jan @ 12:18pm 
Does it happen for anyone else, that if you have caravan animals that have items loaded, and then you add them to the caravan, that they leave with the items? Unfortunately the form caravan window's item list does not show items that are loaded on animals, and this mod makes it so they can't be unloaded, so they might leave and become immediately immobile. It took me a while to track down the cause of this issue but this seems to be what "causes" (indirectly) this issue
PhoenixLabella 8 Jan @ 11:00am 
Thank you!
Real Ruins' 'Instant Caravan' was not working for me, this mod did the job.
iF 3 Jan @ 10:32pm 
Best mod for caravan
VitaKaninen 10 Dec, 2024 @ 8:17am 
@Mia_Pigeon, from what I wrote earlier, that sounds like what I was asking for, but I actually have something else in mind.

I am not actually wanting to leave the map at all. I want to put the person into caravan mode, so that I can tell them to pick things up and add them to their inventory. Then once their inventory is full, I will tell them to cancel the caravan, and they will haul all the stuff back to base.

I am looking for a hauling mod that will allow me to tell a pawn to pick stuff up manually, without having toe endure the pointless delay that other mods add when telling a pawn to pick something up.
Mia_Pigeon 10 Dec, 2024 @ 8:09am 
@VitaKaninen I know of such a mod! It's called "Just Leave Already"

VitaKaninen 20 Oct, 2024 @ 1:34pm 
Ok, thanks anyway!
ferny  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 1:33pm 
@VitaKaninen Nah, unfortunately caravan mods are lacking. That's why I made this as kinda a bandaid
VitaKaninen 20 Oct, 2024 @ 12:07pm 
Ferny, do you know of a mod that allows you to form a caravan just by clicking the pawn, and adding them to a caravan, skipping the load window and skipping the choosing a destination screen? I just want to send a single person alone with nothing else, then click some things nearby and have them add them to the caravan, then cancel it and let them head back to base and unload.
ferny  [author] 10 Oct, 2024 @ 10:45pm 
@VoidSeeker It just functions like normal
VoidSeeker 10 Oct, 2024 @ 10:43pm 
So i didn't quite understand, what happens if you try to form vehicle caravan with this mod enable? Would it form like this mod is not present, or something would break completely?
Pos 4/5 24 Sep, 2024 @ 3:18pm 
Ah, thanks for the reply.
ferny  [author] 24 Sep, 2024 @ 11:14am 
@Pos 5 Nah sorry, this is meant to be like a full immersive comprehensive change to make the reform caravan philosophy apply everywhere
Pos 4/5 24 Sep, 2024 @ 3:37am 
Very nice mod! Is it possible to temporarily enable/disable this functionality in-game? Usually I would prefer keeping the default behaviour since that's part of the game experience, but sometimes there would be bugs and my caravan will be stuck at the edge of the map, and I wished I could just cancel the caravan and quickly dispatch it using this mod. Right now I'll have to change the mod list and restart the game to make it work. It would be really nice to have toggle icon in the right bottom corner to enable/disable the behaviour.
ferny  [author] 12 Sep, 2024 @ 5:40am 
@Blacksoul Vehicle caravans are being retooled/merged eventually if I remember correctly, no work will be done on that until that is clear
Blacksoul 12 Sep, 2024 @ 5:17am 
any way to also handle vehicle caravans too?
megabot 9 Aug, 2024 @ 6:32am 
I just wanted to note that in the second image, it looks like you are on life support due to the road passing through your nose. that is it, Ijust found it funny. thank you for all your mods mate!
