Guarding Pawns

Description
This mod adds 3 different jobs to protect your colony and pawns from possible threats.

Features:
  • Guarding and Patrolling Spots inside the Security category.
  • A Guard tab to handle all the mod's features.
  • Options to stop rendering both Guarding Spots and Patrolling Spots, for aesthetic purposes.
  • Compatibility with Biotech, allowing mechanoids to guard.

UI Content:

Only Pawns assigned to the Guard job in the Work tab will be shown here!
  • Select Job will allow you to assign your pawns to different jobs. Currently, the options are:
    1. Unassigned - The pawn will do nothing. This is the default choice.
    2. Guard Spot - The pawn will sit at one of the spots of the designated color, constantly looking for enemies.
    3. Protect Pawn - The pawn will constantly follow the designated pawn, protecting them from threats.
    4. Patrol - The pawn will follow a route made of the spots of the designated color, looking for enemies along the way.
  • Extra options for the selected job. These change depending on the selected job:
    1. Unassigned - No button will be shown.
    2. Guard Spot - Lets you to change what set of spots where you want the pawn to stand, differentiated by colors.
    3. Protect Pawn - Lets you choose the pawn you wish to protect.
    4. Patrol - Lets you change the route color the pawn will follow when patrolling.
      It also includes a checkbox to indicate wether the pawn should return to the first spot after reaching the last one (1 - 2 - 3) or loop back when reaching the last spot ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 1).
  • The Show Patrolling Spot and Show Guarding Spot checkboxes will stop the respective spots from rendering.

Future plans:
  • Ideology and Anomaly support

Great mod! I using it for creating gathering spots where pawn go for starting rooms assaults.
@Thekiborg pls add to UI copy paste function for quick copy rows of settings between colonists! Another UI allow drag-copy mechanic. Perhaps you can take this code form somewhere.
Thank for great work!

the error below shows only when RimSort uses alphabetic way of sort, not the default topological. so, it seems there should be a load order rule correlated with some other mod.

No, colony animals dont run Jobgiver_Work. Big and Small Sapient Animals would enable it though
Damon_Vi Jul 24 @ 5:10pm 
is this applicable to trained colony animals?

i recently tamed some german shepherds, and i was brainstorming if a mod like this would allow me to assign the "family pet" to a child pawn to guard at all times. like how biotech mechanoids set to escort will follow and protect their operator, but instead of mechs, it would be guard dogs (or wolves, or megasloths, etc.)

Hi. Would it be possible to make it so guards can protect non-player colony pawns? The general idea being that you could assign bodyguards to visitors to keep them safe + have them socialize often.
