Safe Pause

"Stop accidentally unpausing the game"

Have you ever coincidentally tried to pause the game at the exact same time a raid starts, and a moment later realize that, because the raid already paused the game, you actually unpaused the game. Then as the drop ships are coming down, you try pausing the game again but in your panic you accidentally double tap the space bar, and again you utterly fail to pause the game. You make a swift correction, decisively striking the space key. Wait, the game is still unpaused-- were you mistaken? Had you actually tapped it 3 times, or did you double tap it again? Your miserable self can hardly take the pause button's defiance any longer and you find yourself mashing it repeatedly, pausing and unpausing in quick succession, as the raiders have already disembarked and are making a weird, choppy beeline for your farm animals at about half normal game speed?

Safe Pause can help! When the game gets paused, Safe Pause will disable unpausing the game for a short amount of time (defaults to 1.5 seconds but is configurable in the mod menu).

A shorter secondary timeout also protects against your cat standing on the spacebar!
