Adrenal Override: Danger Sense

Stay calm, finish the fight, get everyone home.

First release of a bigger idea. I’ll keep polishing and adding options this week. Feedback helps a ton—thank you! I just released the second part of this big idea please check my newest mod! Mood and Mental Breaks Realistic Overhaul

Quick Summary

Danger Sense: Builds when trouble is nearby and blocks mental breaks. Also nudges pawns away from sleeping in unsafe spots. Fades when the map is calm.
Engagement Focus: During a fight, prevents breaks and pass-outs so your shooter doesn’t drop mid-raid. Eases off right after.
Fully configurable. Lightweight. RimWorld 1.6.

What is this?

This mod gives pawns a short burst of “keep it together” when things get scary. No stat cheese, no perk trees—just level heads until danger passes.

Why you’ll like it

Your MVP won’t have a tantrum at the worst possible time.
Rescues feel safer—everyone stays focused until your pawn is back up.
Hands-off: it turns on by itself in danger, then cools down.
Stays fair: no extra DPS or accuracy—only break/collapse protection.

How it works

Danger Sense

Rises with raids, fires, nearby hostiles, injuries, or “needs rescue.”
Blocks new mental breaks and discourages unsafe sleeping.
Decays once things are under control (e.g., rescue done and area safe).
Default scope: your colonists only (you can change this).

Engagement Focus

Shows up in real combat (drafted and taking/returning fire).
Prevents breaks and passing out from heat/hunger/exhaustion while fighting.
Wears off soon after the fight ends.

Settings

Toggle Danger Sense and Engagement Focus on/off.
Pick what triggers them (raids, fires, nearby hostiles, getting hit, rescue needed, etc.).
Tune build/decay speed and the “no break / no collapse” thresholds.
Scope: keep it to player humanlikes (default) or expand if you want.
Optional debug tips for fine-tuning.

Compatibility & Performance

RimWorld 1.6. Requires Harmony. (HugsLib recommended for settings.)
Plays nice with most combat/storyteller mods.
Safe to add mid-save. (Avoid removing mid-save while effects are active.)

FAQ

Does this buff combat stats? No—aim, damage, and cooldowns are untouched. It only stops breaks/collapses during danger. Will it cause weird rescue/sleep loops? No—it backs off after a successful rescue and tries to avoid silly wake/sleep behavior. Does it affect enemies or animals? Not by default. You can change that in settings. Found a bug? Please post it in Bug Reports with steps or a log if you can. Thanks!

Special thanks
