Same with Dewa, builder pawns will stand by sandcastles blueprints and wait and do nothing (I believe it may be due to the "Rebuild in home area" check for destroyed buildings)

Is there anything in the log when that happens?

@Dewa same error for me...

Looks like pawns will build sandcastles over crops grown in sand from VPE. Is this intended?

Just wanna stop by and let you know that this mod made me so happy after a long few hours of trying to fix my other mods. Thank you for such a cute addition!

Updated for 1.5

mod seems to break with better construction enabled, i have pawns just idling and staring at "unfinished" sandcastles until i hit "cancel" on them

Can you post the errors, if any?

Also having the issue with quality builder and this mod.

this little mod puts a smile on my face.

That's odd, how do those mods handle snowmen? Sand castles are coded to be functionally identical

This is a really cute mod, but sadly, it's a reliable source of buggy interactions with other mods, for me.

One historical issue, off the top of my head, is 'auto-rebuild in home area' leaving bugged blueprints for sandcastles that had deteriorated, which pawns would then bug out with the "started 10 jobs in one tick" failure when they tried to actually 'rebuild'; unsure if that one is fixed.

Most recently, is this seems to cause some significant lag and errors with QualityBuilder installed; I don't have the error-message to hand, sadly ... (yes, sorry, I'm a bad bug-reporter today!)

Awesome, thank you for looking into it :)

joseasoler: Good call and an easy fix. Updated!

Thank you for creating such an awesome mod! I have a minor request. Currently, sand castles impact the meditation focus of anima trees. Would it be possible to disable this?

Always puts a smile on my face when I see those little sand castles. Love this mod.

My mechanite constructors apparently like building sandcastles as well.

This is the most important mod. Glad it's 1.4 compatible

wholesome mod. upvoted.

Hello @Zylleon, thank you for your kind reply and for your work!

The "joy ended" log has also been removed

This mod is now 1.4 compatible

And: sand castles made by guests are now flagged as factionless, rather than being the property of the guest faction

Dear @Zylleon, thank you for the fantastic mod! I think it adds a lot to the charm and atmosphere of the game :) I have one question to you. There were Hospitality guests in my colony and they built several sand castles in my base. They left and then I needed to expand my base. So I found out that damaging sand castles built by my guests severly angers their faction with the reasoning of 'structure damaged'. It seems incovenient and not logical. Is there a way to switch off such a behaviour? Or may I ask you to fix it please? Thank you so much!

seems like the "pawns standing" bug has been hitting my colony. in my case my guess is that the sandcastle build gets interrupted (perhaps by draft) which leaves the blueprint. a construction pawn then comes by and stands next to it without moving for a while. love this mod but it's not worth the extra headache of manually cancelling them.

petition to add the ability to make sand castles out of ashes from cremated people

Logs be like:

Joy ended
Joy ended
Joy ended
Joy ended

Hey Zylleon,
if you are pushing a update maybe you can consider turning off the log message which says "Joy ended".
It makes the log stop logging because of how numerous the message is.
Greetings!

I had the 17 work units bug for a while but my pawns would only get stuck for a few seconds at a time before leaving, but I could cancel the blueprints easily, and even this seriously reduced my colony's productivity. I didn't need to remove the mod though as it hasn't happened since winter hit my colony, although the amount of sandcastles has been much lower. I wonder if its tied to temperature since I seemed to be getting the bug in autumn then they stopped spawning completely over winter but now in summer they are back and working properly,

I had the "standing at 17 work units" bug happen, no ancient debris in sight. The blueprint wasn't cancellable, I could only forbid it so pawns would go on their business. Had to remove the mod eventually as they were getting stuck half the time.

"Ancient warwalker shell" was the culprit in my case. The highlighted unit on this imgur https://i.imgur.com/D8ooUqU.png

The source of pawns "standing" is sandcastles being built underneath the new "ancient debris/remains" These should all share a class / flag so the author will need to update castles not to be constructed on the same tiles as these new objects. At least for my edge case.

I've noticed that this causes pawns to stand by sandcastle blueprints they spawn and just get stuck in "Standing", rather than actually build the sandcastle, which is stuck at 17 work units, removing the blueprints make them go back to work/play/whatever.

I haven't seen any errors in the logs that i'm able to see (perhaps due to being swarmed out by a fish spawning in a "non walkable tile" and getting teleported out), nor changing it in the load order seems to help.
I'm sorry I can't give more detail to help with this, it's a great, adorable little mod.

definitely don't remove faction penalties for attacking faction's built sandcastles (maybe allow it in mod options), this sounds hilarous!

1.2, I have many mods, which change recreation activities ?

qux- which version of Rimworld are you using, and do you have any other mods that change recreation activities?

@Snake whats your story

REMOVE FACTION PENALTIES FOR ATTACKING SAND CASTLES GUESTS BUILD!

So you guys know this is one of the most important MODS ever made for Rimworld!

Thnks for the update

Should have been something in game

This is cute AF if the colony is starting on the beach

using this with a children mod, and a terraforming mod, can someone say sandboxes?

君MOD本当上手，Real Champion Mod

This is so cute!

Currently started an extreme desert scenario with a single tribal pawn. He'll enjoy being able to do something when he's not currently about to die of starvation, manhunter attacks, 70°+ celsius (160+ fahrenheit) and pretty much everything else that exist.

Snowmen are a vanilla feature. And I'm pretty sure this mod is based on them.
