Awesome. Eagerly waiting.

@KWJelly yes, I intend to update it for 1.6

Any plans to update for 1.6? Always find this mod handy when I'm building paths around my colony

@RedPine and @Church.exe

I'm gonna quote myself from a comment I made to a similar question on performance.

To put it simply. All this mod does is keep a record of a colonist's work related pathing. So numbers the game has already calculated are saved, rather than re-calculated.

There's a few other notes too.

Wildlife and enemies aren't tracked
Colonist wanderings aren't tracked either. Only if they are on a job is their pathing tracked

@Delmain

Thank you for the fix! Should be published now.

does anyone know how performance-impacting this mod is? This seems like the sort of mod that could either have zero overhead or tons of overhead depending on how rimworld tracks colonist movement by default. (and how it needed to be tweaked to enable a heatmap of it)

Must Have Mode. Thank you

amen

Hey mission, thanks for updating this to 1.5. I found an issue that came up when multiple colonists left my map at once (a refugee event ended and 3 colonists left). It's inside "RemoveInvalidPawns". I sent a PR on Github with some more details in it.

@Roza Zərgərli banditcamp.com the mod adds a indicator in the bottom right that can be toggled to show a map of where pawns travel the most, it records pawns positions and then translates that into colored tiles (the grid). overall the mod does little actively but when designing a bases pathways to stuff like a kill box or just defenses it can help make your pawns faster by paving the routs they take or optimizing your farm to freezer pathways or recreation to work

what u can do with this mod? can someone explain me?

What's the performance impact? Can the features (and performance hit) of the mod be disabled without uninstalling the mod?

This seems like a more expansive version of:

Path Overlay

This is so tight, great work!

@selest19
I do not believe it affects animal pathing, but I can double check.

does this have a animal footprint?

@surefirecure

For this there is also the Path Avoid mod so you can.. force desire paths and also keep pawns from treading where they should not

oooooh now i can make desire paths without screwing up my crops. thanks for this!

do i recon correctly that this does not work when you're playing on more than one tile? for me it puts tracks from all tiles into one single overlay?!

@Vulkandrache
Nah.

lets find out

Would this not tank an insane amount of perfomance?

Yay! Calculon's back!
