Description of Mod

Better Pawn Control Forked is a bulk policy manager for RimWorld. It lets you save and switch presets for outfits, schedules, work, animals, mechs, and other supported pawn-control integrations from the normal game tabs.

Why does this fork exist?

This is a fork of the original Better Pawn Control mod by VouLT. The fork exists to keep the mod functional on newer RimWorld versions and to make it safer around modern gear and policy mods. Thanks to Machado for the Progression: Education fix - see his mod below. It has been rolled into this mod.

Features

  • Policy Presets: Save and switch presets for outfits, food, drugs, reading, medicine, hostility response, schedules, and work.
  • Animal and Mech Support: Manage animal, mech, robot, and supported loadout presets from the relevant tabs.
  • Default Policies: Set default policies for new colonists, prisoners, and slaves.
  • Emergency Toggle: Apply your configured policy set quickly when you need a fast colony-wide change.
  • Integration Support: Includes compatibility for Work Tab, Animal Tab, Combat Extended, and other supported mods.
  • Safe Compatibility Behavior: Uses runtime capability checks for DLC and modded pawns, avoids interrupting Defensive Positions Forked and Outfit Stands Plus Forked flows, and tolerates worktype overhauls such as FSF Complex Jobs.

How to Use

Open the relevant RimWorld tab and use the BPC buttons to create, select, or switch policies. Once a policy is active, adjust the normal RimWorld controls and BPC will save those settings to the preset you chose.

Compatibilities

  • Supported RimWorld version: Current fork work is built for 1.6.
  • Required mod: Harmony.
  • Optional integrations: Work Tab, Animal Tab, Numbers, Combat Extended, Assign Animal Food, Children, school and learning, Progression: Education, WeaponsTabReborn, Misc. Robots, Compositable Loadouts, Defensive Positions Forked, FSF Complex Jobs, and Outfit Stands Plus Forked.
  • Load order: Load after Harmony and the supported integration mods when applicable.

Settings / Setup Instructions

Configure policy defaults and integration options through RimWorld's mod settings and the in-game policy tabs. When Outfit Stands Plus Forked is installed, BPC can trigger a pawn's assigned stand after an apparel policy change if the stand is reachable, usable, and safe to operate.
