Billy's Improved Caravan Formation

Description
Are you tired of your colonists wandering around doing nothing while trying to form a caravan? This mod makes colonists and animals behave more intelligently during caravan formation. Animals will now move to the caravan spot on their own, and colonists will spend more of their time gathering items and loading them into pack animals. If a pawn is lost during caravan formation, the caravan will go on without them if it can. Also, this mod fixes some bugs in the caravan forming process.

This mod is compatible with your existing save files, and saves using this mod are compatible with vanilla, as long as you didn't save during caravan formation.

To fix transport pod loading as well, check out: Billy's Improved Load Transport Pods

Hope it helps anyone, and thanks for the excellent code-comments @jopejope !

Could you please update this mod to 1.1?
Rzabat Feb 2, 2020 @ 5:45pm 
This is working, you just need to select the "Skip gathering of animals" options in the mod settings. Makes it so colonists will automatically load items into whatever caravan animal is near them, rather than waiting hours for everyone to assemble.

Anyone test this? Is it working?

Updated for 1.0.

Guys, I haven't played Rimworld in over 2 years. I hope this mod still works for you. It looks like most of the problems with caravans has been fixed in the base game by now, but if you're still having trouble forming caravans I think this will help.

Please do not count on future updates! If you want this mod updated, then be the change you want to see in the world. This is the first mod I've ever made, and I pretty much just followed the tutorials for making a C# mod. I didn't even know C# when I made this mod. If you have ANY CODING EXPERIENCE then you should be able to update this mod. Grab the source code from the github page: https://github.com/jopejope/BillysCaravanFormation

I've added comments to the source code that ought to explain everything. You might have to dig around the Rimworld source for the caravan forming code, and debug it, but it really isn't that bad.

Is there still a possibility of a mod update?

Since RimWorld is considered complete now, I doubt there will be another major update. So mods that get updated to [1.0] probably won't need to be updated again to stay usable for a long time.

Is 1.0 being considered for this mod?

unfortunatly this mod no longer works correctly. It Blocks carvans from forming, you can choose whos going and set a destination but if disables the go command.

The trick to loading a large caravan (aside from using this mod) is to add everyone to the caravan and subtract the people not going before they leave. This way everyone helps with the loading.

Please update this mod. Building large caravans are almost impossible, even if you pack them with only the bare necessities.
