Smart Work Mode

Description
Mechs in Work mode waste a lot of energy wandering around idly when there is no work for them to do. This mod adds a new work mode for mechs called Smart Work. Smart Work functions the same as Work but with the following differences:
  • There is no patrol activity for combat mechs.
  • When idle, mechs go into self-shutdown (similar to Self Shutdown mode) to recharge slowly, but will wake back up when more work becomes available.
  • You can set an area (per control group) for idle self-shutdown in the Mechs tab. Mechs will move to that area before shutting down to charge.


Updates
09/03/2025: Fix bugs related to remembering self charge areas on gravships
07/29/2025: Add support for gravships and self charge areas attached to them when launching, fix save data bug
06/17/2025: Update to 1.6

@R! That makes sense. I'll look into it. Thanks!

the shutdown area settings seems buggy when gravship moving to another map after the recent update? i've got a run with 400s mods, the bug seems to appear after game update

@BookOfMike Tunnelers aren't supposed to be able to use the deep drill. Are you using a mod that makes it so they can?

@BookOfMike Thanks for letting me know! I'll take a look at it later.

I noticed that if my Tunneler is set to smart work mode they wont go out and deep drill. instead they just wander

@Ithalan I believe it should be fixed now.

@Ithalan Ahhh okay I bet I know why. I'll look at it tonight.

Correction, it seems to be happening every time you travel with the Gravship.

@Ithalan Thanks for reporting! I'll look into that.

If you set the Smart Work Self-charge Area to something other than Unrestricted, it seems to reset back to Unrestricted whenever you load a saved game
