Better Pawn Control
Better Pawn Control and Complex Jobs
I see a lot of comments about this that are getting lost in the stream. Rather than VouLTs having to repeat themselves i figured id start a discussion after posting a comment about it myself seeking information.

Here was my comment which i have now deleted - VouLTs hope you dont mind me doing this, im hoping it makes your life easier to be able to direct people too as im sure you must get annoyed with answering the same comment over and over.

"Hi VouLT, (i had a previous comment which ive deleted) hoping you can help,
i have installed both [FSF] Complex Jobs and Better Pawn Control - They seem to work together with CJ layout and also the preferences pre-sets appears from BPC. Is the incompatibility something in the background im not necessarily seeing? (Like messing with the actual prioritizisation order or with Jobs that are "added" via CJ?
Thanks in advance and appreciate the time, i know it cant always be easy being a modder!"

Been diving into the comments to find the issue's which led to it being incompatible and i believe these dates back to v1.5 with the most recent comments on the topic in May 2025.
- "Wenn BPC is active, job priorities will no longer be saved and will reset as soon as the panel is closed" - Mod User
- "Assign tab stuck open; all the other tabs open and close as intended." - Mod User
- "Those "tab stuck", or "reset", are very likely mod incompatibility with other mods." - VouLT
- "Some pawns just can't have their work priorities changed at all." - Mod User

Ive got both installed at the moment and have done the below;
- Create Policy - Activate Policy - Close Tab - Play and Run - Reopen Tab - Switch Back to Deafult and repeat.
Ive done this in Work Tab, Schedule Tab and Assign Tab in a colony with 35 pawns. I have Royalty, Biotech and Oddessey ,plus a bunch of QoL/UI mods, installed (i dont own Idology or Anomoly) and cant seem to get the above errors to repeat.

Curious as to weather something in 1.6 or a bug fix you have done else where may have inadvertently fixed the issues previously caused by both being installed?

If any other users have both installed without issues or have installed both and found the above/new issues please do add to the info ive detailed.

MrFlodo / Campbell, does both mods seem to be working for you, with BPC v2.8.3?

I am using both of them together and I've always used both together even back during 1.5. I think this issue has been resolved for quite a while.

Hi VouLT, i played a good 5-6 hours yesterday with both installed and couldnt see any of the errors above occuring.

This included 6-8 schedule and animal changes using pre-sets (I had a heatwave and WAR preset setup to change allowed zones) and also a 3-4 work preset changes to prioritize hauling in certain senarios.

All seemed to work as expected :)

Ill be playing again this evening (in 5-6 hours) and doing some of the mid game Oddessey elements like launching my gravship but i dont see why these mods would cause an impact there. Either way will report back later today :)

Adding some extra insight from FrozenSnowFox (CJ Dev) in June:
- Frozenhas used both mods for years without issue
- Load BPC before CJ
- CJ is pure XML mod
- As long as BPC supports modded worktypes then compability shouldnt be an issue.

(i currently have CJ loading before BPC as this is how my mod auto-sort placed them so will flip them on my play this evening to see if theres any adverse impact)

Still no issues are two days of playing with both installed. Hopefully this means its fixed from the bugs previous users were having before 1.6... :steamhappy:

I played for 2 hourse with both mods and I didn't have issues at all. I tried to break it and looked for the specific issues reported and nothing. It might be fixed now. Load order was BPC, Compact Work Tab, Complex Jobs

Yeah I’ve been playing with both now for 22 days, probably 100hrs or so and no issues to report still.
