Automatic Night Owl

Description
Automatically assigns the sleep schedule for starting, newly recruited, and PrepareCarefully pawns with the night owl trait.

1.6 Update
Updated for 1.6 - Should be compatible with prepare carefully when that gets updated.

Biotech and Ideology Features
New mod options:
Ideology - Automatically set the schedule for pawns with an Ideology that prefers darkness.
Biotech - Automatically set the schedule for pawns with genes that hate sunlight (Vampires + Dirtmoles).

Save Game Compatible
You can add/remove this from any save. Any errors after removing are a one time thing and will have no effect on your save.

Huge thanks to Kiame Vivacity for helping with PrepareCarefully compatibility for 1.2+

I see this mod is .dll only, not text based like .xml .
I was hoping to change the night owl default to 10-17 instead of 11-18.

@Spindle - If you try disabling the mod option for ideology, does that resolve the issue? Assuming this should fix if you aren't using a mix both light/dark meme pawns

Bit of an issue with this mod; it gives people the schedule that aren't night owls or dirtmoles at all. I think it has to do with that I'm using the Light meme from VE ideology (basically the opposite of the Darkness meme).

@archidictus - I had included the source for every version by accident when I updated to 1.6. This has since been fixed.

27Mb is absolutely insane. What was left in the code or folder structure to make it bigger than most race/clothing/production combination mods?

@Stellar Harbour The attached mod is close to what you are asking for and last I check it was compatible but I have not tried it with automatic night owl since 1.6. Work Manager DOES work on 1.6 despite rimpy being fussy saying it isnt compatible.

Turns out I am an idiot, I forgot to check if settings for something so small even exist. While at it I checked if it works with Lycans and Sang variants seen in VE series, which is my normal usecase but which the option doesn't mention, and the mod does work. Thanks a lot!

@royallyTipsy - There is a mod option for Dirtmoles already, I haven't played a ton with Biotech so is there another specific condition for a darkness preference? I only knew of the one from Ideology.
