VPE Puppeteer: No Psychic Coma

VPE Puppeteer: No Psychic Coma

I personally love the Puppeteer path in Vanilla Psycasts Expanded. The fantasy is great. The whole idea of building this terrifying psychic puppet-master who slowly turns the colony into their personal meat-theater is exactly the kind of RimWorld nonsense I enjoy. But then you actually play it and your grand puppeteer ends up spending half their life lying face-down in the mud in a Psychic Coma. Which is fair. That is the intended drawback. I get it. I just did not want it. This mod prevents the Psychic Coma from being applied by the Puppeteer psycasts Puppet and Mind Split. That is all it does. This is absolutely a preference mod. If you like the original downside, you do not need this.

What is actually changed?

The coma in VPE Pupeteer is applied through C# code rather than XML, so this mod uses Harmony patches to block those specific coma effects from being applied.

Compatibility

This should play nice with basically everything. The main exception is if another mod is also patching or outright replacing the same Puppeteer ability code, then yeah, things might get weird. It should be safe to add mid-save, and it should also be safe to remove. Still, make a backup if you want the extra peace of mind. Make sure this loads after Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Puppeteer, since this mod needs that code in place before it can do its thing.
