I noticed, when I had 6 zones set up, everytime my cleaner pawn was looking for work, I had 3s lagspikes. Dubs Perf.Analizer showed me a 3000ms processing time. Reduced it to 3 zones now and it works fine.

The lagspike wasn't there from the start, but only after a certain colony size.

Writing this in case anyone else also has lagspikes they can't allocate, to try and reduce the priority list and see if it changes.

I love this mod, but I wish there was a way for my cleaners to do some cleaning "on the way" between higher priority cleaning zones. Ie, when on a trip between different cleaning zones, clean at most floor(x% * trip length) times along the way.

Jixxor you maybe have Dubs hygiene on?
At the top it mentiones a soft incompatibility.

I've accidentally had them both active, yes, but the pawns adhered to the cleaning priority (I never put a zone into the other mod). And now it doesn't work with either mod, so what's the issue asking if anyone has an idea that might help?

Jixxor the case that youve send the exact same message to another cleaning mod(cleaningareatemp) doesnt really show that its this mods fault that it doesnt work.
If you have several mods doing the same, it can happen that all of them stop working.
Especially if you mention two mods which do the same as the mod ive seen your comment previously smh.

Maybe this helps figuring out why the zones don't work for me? I have only "cleaning" zone and "cleaning prio" zone in the list but my pawns go out to the city wall and clean dirt there because they clean the home area instead https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/0c12ec68d83687cbf1981112ce6e76fc

Does anyone have a clue how I can get this to work again?
It worked fine, then I messed up and removed a mod from an ongoing run. I had to restore zones using the Mid-saver Saver mod which fixed the grey screen issue. But ever since then no cleaning area type mods want to work anymore.
Am I just cooked?

@Lord Abortion If you still need help solving this problem, you can try installing Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Props and Decor. This mod allows you to set decals and props (including blood) to decorate your colony. I have not tested it myself, but I am almost one hundred percent sure that the pawns will not perceive these objects as dirt

For those who can't figure out how to start using the mod, like me, it is in a broom icon in the bottom right corner with the rest of them. At the very top row (depending on how many mods yall have that add icons).

@DEneR Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

Very sad, but this is FPS killer for me. Regular spikes to zero FPS, even with one zone only.

maybe you can remove that places from clean zone and use bins for waste disposal from vanilla furniture expanded they remove trash and filth but i think they leave blood havent tested it yet

@晓山alreShan more so for aesthetic and RP reasons. my colony are psychotic sadistic cannibals

@Mlie
Maybe @Lord Abortion is using Vanilla Races Expanded - Sanguophage and Vanilla Psycasts Expanded , I guess?
Which added psy-ability to turn blood filth into caster's hemogen, IIRC.

@lol Added

@Mlie, could be worth adding to description? There's a soft incompatibility with Dubs Bad Hygiene: pawns clean outside of the designated zone. Turning off "prefer indoor cleaning" in DBH options solves the problem.

@Mlie i want my pawns to clean the normal filth, but leave the blood. at least in my gladiator arena and prison

@Lord Abortion For what reason?

is there a way to de-prioritize blood over other filth?( maybe not necessarily in your mod specifically, but just in general as a possibility?)

@Mlie thats great!

Hot damn didn't know I needed that, thanks!

@Protok There is now :)

Mlie the Michelangelo!
For me it is base like mod.
Is there something similar for buildings repairing? I need some walls to be repaired outside of my Home Area.

I can confirm as Alucard Nosfera explained, if you are having issues with the AI cleaning the wrong areas, or constantly toggling between two tiles causing lag and getting the IA stuck in a n endless jiggle loop, check if you have the dubs bad hygene mod and disable the "prefer indoor cleaning" there. This one was interfering with the targeting of the AI.

@Smol weaboo doggo The broom icon at the bottom right of the screen

where do I access and change the priority list of cleaning zones? I can't seem to find it anywhere

@Darkbubu Did you by chance use one or more of the performance mods
Rocket ... something does check and patch performance issue on its own, needs to be installed at the end of your mod list and dubs Performance Anylser gives you some other options which i havent myself yet looked further into, but from the discription it sounds like you could with a higher degree of certainty pinpoint to the mods causing issues.

@The Blind One I dont know, Ive never used that mod

So this basically works like CleaningArea but with more areas and customizability?

Anyone with performance issue using this awesome Mod ?

i had to desactivate it to be able to continue to play :/

regular drops at 0 FPS

Thanks Alucard Nosfera™ I am also using the hygene mod, maybe this was to cause for the conflict, will try it out again

@Yinyang107 No idea, never used that mod

How does this interact with Common Sense's setting to have pawns clean around benches before working?

Hello,
lately i had the same problem, that cleaning priority didn't work anymore after i added and changed several mods.

Now i have found a solution for my problem and wanted to share:

I switched from bad hygiene lite to the non lite Version.
In the settings of this mod, in the extra features tab, there is an option to "prefer cleaning indoors" (bottom left side, my version is in german, so the text could slightly differ in english).

I don't know if this option was set from the start or set through myself, but unchecking it solved my problem.

@PhD in THC Thanks for the detailed report, should be fixed now

@Mlie I have the same issue. I have removed the Home area from the cleaning list and added in a new one specifically for cleaning. The issue only seems to occur when my pawns are restricted to an area, when they are set to unrestricted they clean the correct area. I do have some mods but I don't think they'd interfere with this one

@Falcon24 If you can verify that I can look into a fix

I'm seeing the same thing as Eddy. I suppose it could be a mod conflict somewhere, but I believe the only possible conflict I could have is with the area inclusion and exclusion mod.

so i created a new area called it "cleaning"
in the list I added that area to the list and killed the home zone,
however they are still cleaning the home zone completely ignoring the cleaning area. anybody else?

I'm sorry, I don't have a way to illustrate the issue, and really shouldn't be dropping useless snark in the official mod thread :/ My save(s) would never load without all the mods, and it seems to be very random. I will try to keep an eye out, perhaps I can find something useful in the future! My apologies again, and I appreciate the mod!

Fixed reordering the areas

@instakward The broom show on the area currently being the highest priority area with filth on it

@Decoherent I have not been able to recreate that problem. Using only this mod, what would be the way to trigger your issue?

I rather enjoy it when I see my colonists cleaning some random grassy area on the other side of the map. I have a zone specifically set for cleaning (cleverly called "Clean") that's the only one on the list, but they blithely wander around the map, sweeping up dust.

Can't figure out how to change which area has the cleaning broom (which I presume means cleaned first, the tooltip isnt very clear) I noticed sometimes if I deleted and re-added an area it would get the broom but no matter how many times I tried It wouldn't add the broom to the area I wanted. Now it just wont put the broom on any custom area I make, only vanilla areas

I can't change the priority order. If I want to add a new area to the end of the list I need to clear the entire list.

any news on whether this will be updated with a fix

I'm also not sure this mod is working, I did remove the home area from the menu, like Robinzilla did, and my pawns aren't cleaning the first priority area first anymore. They do clean it, I think, but they are going to the second (and only other) area I have specified in the menu and cleaning it first.

Fluffy Area Unlocker is also having issues reordering areas. He said it was something to do with the 1.4 update changing code.

This seems to not be working for me. My first play through since 1.4 landed, and pawns assigned to cleaning seem to ignore the fact that I removed the home area from the cleaning list and only have the area I created. I don't see any error related tot his in the log, but if a log would help, I'm happy to share it.
