RimVali: Core

Beware LightsOut Mod
The LightsOut mod, a mod that has pawns power off unused stations, seems to conflict with RimVali. I've been testing for the last while what may be the cause of my game locking up anywhere from a couple hours to ~4 days to loading a save or starting fresh, but when an Avali pawn turns off a powered station it cause the game to lock up entirely and become unresponsive. The console error that pops up just as it locks up seems to be an error with tasking. After 2 days of testing with various mod combinations, LightsOut seems to be incompatible.

Some mods exaggerate the problem, as using just LightsOut with Rimvali will work longer than stated above, but it causes turning off stations to become a game of Russian roulette.


Common Sense - Seems to guarantee that a single workbench interaction with an Avali WILL crash the game, but Common Sense without LightsOut will work perfectly fine.

HAR also makes it worse by causing ANY non-human pawn to crash it, but disabling RimVali and keeping the other races does not have this problem. Disabling HAR seems to make things slightly more stable.


TLDR:
Basically, until LightsOut fixes some things, it may be a good idea to not use it with RimVali. If you are using it and your game is locking up, I recommend you disable LightsOut if you want to keep the floofy ones.
