Pathfinding Framework

Ever wished your colonists could do more than just walk? Now they can! The mod introduces a variety of new movement types, allowing pawns to move across the world in entirely new ways.

Mod authors can use this framework to easily patch movement type support for their pawns, apparel, genes (with Biotech) or other items, or even define custom movement types. How to achieve all of this is described in the wiki.

Players only need to add this mod to their mod list, along with any other mods of their choice that have support for this framework. You can find a list of all known mods with Pathfinding Framework support in this collection: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3071093000

The framework is designed to play well with other mods and optimized for smooth gameplay.





Aquatic creatures swim effortlessly through all bodies of water. However, they find themselves out of their element on land.




Soaring above obstacles, these creatures have the skies as their domain, hovering gracefully over most landscapes.




Specialized for rapid movement beneath the surface, these creatures excel in sand and soil. On other terrains, they move similarly to their terrestrial counterparts.




Born of fire and earth, these creatures roam the land and swim through molten lava with ease, yet they have an innate aversion to water.


It is also possible to define custom movement types using the framework, check the wiki for details.


With Pathfinding Framework, you can create apparel, genes or hediffs which grant movement types to your pawns.



Using the Giddy-Up 2 mod, your colonists can ride on animals to take advantage of their movement type.



In the mod options window of Pathfinding Framework, you can enable an option to let creatures that are inherently non-flammable such as mechanoids move through fire.



In the mod settings, you can also customize the movement type used by humans, animals or mechanoids. This feature supports Humanoid Alien Races. To let your colonists walk over deep water, just set the movement type of humans to swimming.




Pathfinding Framework should be compatible with almost every mod. Other mods can be found in the table below.




Yes.


No.


While in the main menu of the game, go to Options > Mod Settings > Pathfinding Framework. Choose the Pawn Movements tab. Check the Human entry, which should be close to the beginning of the list. Click on the Terrestrial button and set it to Swimming.


Using RimSort or RimPy to sort your mod list should have optimal results.
