Town Auto Router

Adds a manual “Route Town Pawns” button to Vanilla Outposts Expanded Town outposts.

Instead of checking every recruited pawn one by one, select a Town outpost and click Route Town Pawns. The mod will move excess Town pawns to better-suited player outposts based on their skills, your settings, and the current staffing of your outposts.

Features
• Manual routing button on Town outposts
• Skill-based destination selection
• Balanced routing using skill fit, outpost load, predicted load, and distance
• Respects your minimum pawns to keep in Town setting
• Option to keep pawns in Town unless another outpost is a better match
• Optional routing messages
• Verbose logging for troubleshooting
• Adjustable routing weights and presets

How it works
The mod looks at each eligible pawn in the Town and compares them against your other player-owned outposts.

Routing considers:
• The pawn’s relevant skills and passions
• The relevant skills of each outpost
• How many pawns are already assigned to each outpost
• How many pawns are being sent there during the current routing action
• Distance from the Town

Good Social pawns can stay in the Town if “Route only if destination is better than Town” is enabled.

Settings
You can adjust the mod in:
Options → Mod Settings → Town Auto Router
