Finding a colonists top skill at a glance

[Dosboy]

Anyone have a good way to quickly find a colonists top skill or two?

Currently, I am constantly referring to the work tab or clicking on each of them to see their bio. Kind of painful.

There is a mod called "pawn badges" where you can setup small icons for each of their top skills. It sits next to their name/icon at the top. However, I used Colonist Bar 1.0 and the badges don't show up on there.

How do you solve this problem?

If you rename the colonist, you have the option to assign them a new nickname, and a title. Unfortunately the title doesn't show on the colonist bar, but the nickname does. The other option would be custom outfits based on their primary job (works best with additional clothing mods, some of which might be unbalancing without altering them however).

you can add any stat including both levels and actual workspeed and quality offset values and sort by it

This is a valid concern, my approach has always been to rename my pawns to suit their role.
That's why you would find people called
"maker" = crafting, tailor, handskills
"jackalope" = all over the place, fast, builder
"deadshot" = hunter, sniper
"stork" = farmer, gatherer, healer
"ragnar" = melee weapon specialist. also miner.

@M.K. I did that in one game and it does seem to be the best option so you don't have to click on anything. It surely would be nice if Pawn badges would work.

@Bar0th - renaming is going to be the best choice. Thx.

@101 and test - I am using both these mods and they are awesome. Still require a click vs. a quick glance but do help immensely. Thanks for the suggestions.
