Pawns Choose Vanilla Books

Description
This is an integration mod for Pawns Choose Research and Vanilla Books Expanded.

With Pawns Choose Research, pawns select their own research projects based on their skill passions and traits, taking away the player's control over research. This patch restores limited choice to the player by taking the Blueprints from Vanilla Book Expanded and turning them into research books which, when read, force a pawn to switch to that research project.

v1.3 Update

In addition to switching to the designated research project (or prerequisite for underlying theory) pawns will gain a little bit of research toward the project. However, the amount of research gained is lower than the amount that would have been gained at a research bench.

The effects of this mod are temporarily disabled by selecting "Restore Player Control" in the Pawns Choose Research settings.

v1.2

Each blueprint also contains underlying theory for a randomly chosen prerequisite, allowing you to force two research projects with just one blueprint.

@Cozar -- it could well be a combination of mods that's causing an issue, but I've not yet been able to experiment with order/trying them alone, etc. It could be over-reporting on the part of BetterLoading and similar to what MadTech shared.

@beetlecat I'm not getting any errors on load, or any message saying the dll didn't load.

Yeah, "better loading" mod is showing the same thing. The 'PawnsChooseVanillaBooks.dll is failing to load.

I just noticed this one showing at the top of Mod Manager

Mod PawnsChooseVanillaBooks has a dependency with invalid <packageId>: PawnsChooseResearch

But Mod Manager doesn't show any problems once the games completely loaded, so not sure if this is an issue or not.

Nice! I've loved using Random Research so I don't have to micromanage that, but there are times when I've had to intervene directly. If this lets me do that in a less direct way, I'll love your base mod even more!
