Forbidden zone

[Azaleh]

Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to setup an area to be forbidden for colonists? From what i've already read it looks impossible but i only found old posts about this, so maybe it changed? Thanks.

Create an area over the forbidden zone then go into the Restrict Tab and click invert.

Very easily.

If you want a huge part of the map forbidden, just create a zone and draw the authorized area.(usefull for toxic fallout or focused work in an area)

If you want a small area forbidden, draw this area, then hit invert.

Then assign new zone to colonists

Works the same for animals zones.

I just want a little part of my base forbidden for the colonists. I'll use the invert option then but the problem with this is that i can only have one zone forbidden. I'll deal with that!

Thanks for tips guys!

After the Invert you can clear out additional areas.

Once you have it setup you can just clear more areas from that zone, creating multiple forbidden areas.

Or do you mean you want multiple areas selectable so that different pawns have different forbidden areas?

If you are looking to do that and you are just out of zones, there is a mod that lets you have more zones than the vanilla game allows, forget the name of it though. And don't know if it is ready for A15 or not.

One last thing... they won't actually be forbidden, they just won't be able to schedule any jobs/activites that either start or end in that area. It is possible they can still walk through that area depending on pathing. I think they try to avoid it, but it is not really "FORBIDDEN!!"

Ah great, I noticed just after that i could add more zone once it was invert!

Yes i wanted to remove several little part of my base for my pawns since i use the rimushima mod and colons were getting hum.. radioactives... So, no it's for everyone, but i'll check if i find the mod you mentioned, it look interesting to manage a big colony.

Thanks!

Huh so i’ve been looking into it, how do I know if it’s reverted/i did it in the last? because it seems to look the same either way with just the choice to “invert” and the map isn’t very clear here at least if how I’m understanding it.

The colored area shows what is or isn't part of the zone. If you click "invert" then you'll notice that all the tiles that were colored while the zone is selected will now be uncolored, and vice versa.
