-Third tentative fix to 'null pointer exception' bug when saving pawn states;
v2.8.0
- Support for Rimworld 1.6;

I've improved the map handling when jumping between maps with the GravShip. Now the player home BPC settings is moved to the new map (which will become the new player home).

How to use
1. Create a policy either for animals or for colonists by clicking the cog icon
2. Select and activate a new created policy by clicking on the button next to cog icon
3. Configure the policy by setting the areas, outfits, drugs, etc as you always do
4. Done.
Repeat this process for other policies and THEN change between them in one click. WIN!

Features
- Presets (policies) for Work, Schedule, Assign and Animal tabs
- Default outfits, food, drugs when colonist or prisoners join colony
- Emergency' button to toggle your configured policies at once

People feedback
"This mod has saved me a ton of aggravation when it comes to saving my animals during raids. I have an unrestricted (auto) policy during non-raids. When there's a raid I have another policy called "hide" and they go indoors. If it's an infestation I use another policy where my animals rally in a canyon and eat grass while I kill the bugs" by asquirrel

"My God, I do hate to have to restrict every single animal and pawn individually.. This is the answer to my prayers!" by FreyaMaluk

"Thanks for this, just alt-tabbed out of my game in exasperation to look for a mod that would do this - a heat wave hit for the second time in just a few days and I have to tell 25 guys to go put on dusters instead of standing outside in their jackets till they go insane" by sapling

Does it work again with misc robots? Any news? I saw 2.8.3 update. Was it about misc robots?

Noticed that pawns were no longer leaving the map when part of a refugee group after the quest ended. They stayed on the map and stayed in the colony (still marked as temporary pawns). Then I noticed I could no longer banish pawns either, same issue. Turning this mod off solved it, but seeing I'm the only one mentioning it, I probably have a conflict with another mod. Can't say which mods conflict, but at least confirming it MIGHT cause this issue.

One possible hint for null pointers: In vanilla if I assign pawns to a custom zone on my gravship then fly to a new location they keep the assignment. With this mod they end up assigned to no zone, and there are errors that suggest they are now assigned to a non-existent zone. As well as the errors in the logs pawns will sometimes (but not always) end up frozen and unable to move, because there are no tiles they are permitted to be in. Re-assigning them to the zone fixes this.

I assume behind-the-scenes that every time you move your gravship to a new map all custom zones get recreated and assignments updated, and this mod needs to replicate that logic.

2.8.3 fixed the bug in my case - no error, no log entries

not sure if this is already reported, but moving maps on the grav ship clears the allowed areas in all the policies.

Hi VouLT,
I deleted my comments about compatibility with Complex Jobs and have created a discussion instead as i noticed a few comments in the list about the same thing.
Hopefully this means you can provide insights into the Discussion so its all in one place and easier to find, rather than having to read / reply to the same comments over and over again :)
Thanks in advance!

v2.8.3
-Third tentative fix to 'null pointer exception' bug when saving pawn states;

The error should not happen so what I'm trying to do is to avoid the crash. I've added more logs to further help understand how often it could happen (while trying to prevent the crash)

Compatible with Achtung! --> Do disable the 'Rescue work priority column' if error in console bothers you

Is there any way you could patch it so this option could be kept astive without red error?

Big ups for the creator to also upload a very good video explaining how this actually works!
