@1trickPwnyta That would be a great addition! Again, appreciate the work you put in

@Xeon @Azure The only thing that should not be possible outside the radius is commanding a melee attack. This is because it is the only action that can't be accomplished using zones. I do plan to eventually add an option to allow it though.

Can be commanded outside of command range however when trying to force attack target , the option is greyed out (Out of command range)

Would be great if this issue can be fixed, much appreciated !

Mechanoids can be controled out of range but I still can't command hem to attack

Is it possible to have an option to only show combat mechs in the colonist bar? or force them on to a second layer or something? They take a lot of space up but being able to control them for combat.

I've been looking for ages for something that makes people go by their first names. Here I find it for children, which is glorious, but would it be possible to get that by default for all pawns?

awesome

same as dirigible, was looking for infinite mechanitor range and instead found all of these great QOL changes

I just wanted this for mechanitor command range but it turned out to have a bunch of sick changes, good job mate

you rock

@JoeOwnage lol what? They took that back out? Good grief...yes, I'll add it back to the mod. Might be a bit before I get to it though with the new DLC having just released.

1.6 unstable gave us the ability to right click and tell a mech to prioritize, now that functionality is gone. Would it be difficult to patch back in do you think?

@Blueo I believe they said they fixed it, but when I tested it was still broken. So for now the option still exists (and whether it is "patched twice" or not, it does work correctly).

didn't 1.6 fix the "Abandoning the exostrider remains prevents mechanitor complex quest."? what would happen if its patched twice with this mod?

Thanks!

@VitaKaninen It should be fixed now. Thanks!

Just a heads up that the option to have children called by their first name throws an error when used with Pawn Name Variety.

>Pawns won't move babies to a safer temperature until the baby has at least initial heatstroke/hypothermia.


YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Oh wow this fixes basically every issue I have with Biotech, normally I don't like screwing with base or DLC stuff too much but so much of this stuff is just really dumb, children getting nonsensical nicknames for one thing. I've probably had like 50 kids called Bicep.

@1trickPwnyta turning off the bug fix works great! Tnxs

could you make it so vat children arent automaticly ejected from growth vats when their born

I would appreciate it, though as you say it's probably an option that should be disabled by default as it goes beyond vanilla. Using melee mechanoids outside of the command range is very tedious.

I personally think the restriction to melee outside of command range made sense for when they couldn't be controlled outside of command range, but now it's just a bit awkward - also technically the melee mechanoids in vanilla could engage/chase enemies outside of the command range assuming they were autonomous and in the patrol state, just not be manually told to do so or who to target.

@~Nols~ That is intentional since it's how the vanilla game works and there isn't really a way to cheese it, so I didn't make it possible.

I might add an option to do this since it wouldn't change much and even in vanilla it's like the one thing that mechs cannot be made to do outside the command range so might as well allow it I guess?

Mechanoids are not able to be instructed to melee attack outside of the command range

@chrisque1 Yes.

Can this one be turn it off? Its a very important bug for magicians "Bug fix: Traits selected at growth moment are unsuppressed by genes that should suppress them (pyrophobia/pyromaniac)."

@Kaschey Yes.

Are there settings to choose what to enable? I really like the changes but most mechanoid tweaks don't feel right with me.

Character Editor compatibility is here!

@浴球不滿 Thanks for letting me know! I will look into that.

Thanks for the amazing QOL mod
Here is a bug I encounter and I tested with only this mod
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Having a lifter use up all its energy and collapse
2.Left click to select lifter
3.Right click the lifter itself
4.Click prioritize hauling lifter
And then the game would freeze
I suspect it is relate to the mechs right-click prioritize tasks option

As far as I can tell, the only issue with Character Editor is clicking the area to change a pawn's name. Doing so breaks the main UI tab of Character Editor until a full game restart. Outside of that, no issues.

If you use an alternate method of renaming, it really isn't an issue at all. Hopefully @1trickPawnyta gets it patched soon as it is annoying but I'm still using them both together just fine.

looking forward to editor patch though i suppose one could use it to make starting pawns and then uninstall to use this in the meantime?

Now I'm looking for Royalty patch just to complete my set.

@Pink Lion Gaming You will get errors in the Character Editor UI that may make it practically unusable.

How big of a problem is trying to use Character Editor and this mod together?

it's finally ok for pawns to leave their baby in a hot car if it's just for a little bit

@Vulkandrache Okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately this mod only does it for children. Adult pawns are not a biotech feature so they're out of scope for this mod.

I am aware of that, but when you are going through about 700 colonists
in a generations playthrough i would prefer an automated solution.

@Vulkandrache You can just type their first name into the nickname field and it will effectively remove their nickname but call them by their first name.

I tried leaving them empty, does not work.
Sometimes it gives them a nickname, sometimes it
starts using the lastname, its a total mess.
I dont know if this changed going into 1.5,
but in 1.4 it was terrible.

@Vulkandrache you can technically leave nicknames empty instead of copying the nickname and itll autofill the pawn's first name into the nickname, which is to say, its so dumb that it sometimes generates with being filled with the surname

@北冥有渔翁 I'm getting the same error with Character Editor. I'll try to fix that error when I can. Hopefully soon.

There is a conflict with the Character Editor, which makes it impossible to change the character's name in the Character Editor, and clicking on the location of the original name will display a UI error.

Words cannot express how much and for how long I needed this patch, you truly are the GOAT!

Where 1trickpwnyta's Royalty patch at? 🤔

(great patches btw)

More like 1trickGOATyta =D

Can you make a small standalone version of the 2 namings?
I am so sick of having to copy a childs name into the nickname every time
to avoid the autonaming.

And is it possible to also make that for the entire game?
The stupid nicknames that random pawns spawn with are infuriating
and the usage of first- or lastname at random sucks ass.
