Also I realize now that you warned me about that and I didnt see it, so sorry!

also I meant to say "program was able to recognize it" not extract it. No way to edit a steam comment that I know of.

so it was like fsf-complexjobs-main >fsf-complexjobs-main> then the 1.0-1.6 and about files

Had a breakthrough. When I extracted it there was another folder inside, which I copy pasted into the mods folder itself, and the program was able to extract it. Not sure if I did it wrong but it was like there was one too many layers of folder

@Cranberry
That's probably just github's nonsense with the file naming since its technically the main branch of the repository. Clicking the green code button and download zip is exactly how you get a copy, so you did it right. The actual folder name shouldn't matter.

The version i downloaded has -main at the end of the name. Is that the right one?

@Cranberry
Try and imagine being forced to use it. There's a reason I avoided using github until now it can be very obtuse.

Thats not on you though ofc

tbh I find Github really confusing lol. Wish they'd just add a big green download button. Half the time I end up downloading source code or something..

@Cranberry
When it comes to manually installing mods you have to unzip them and be careful you don't end up having the mod's folder under another folder otherwise they won't work. The folder structure should look like this. Then just enable it as you normally would. If you run it from a local copy though you'll have to unsubscribe from the workshop entry otherwise it'll confuse itself about which copy to launch. Alternatively you can simply replace the workshop files with the ones from the github.

/Rimworld/Mods/FSF Complex Jobs/(lots of folders 1.6, About, Textures)

Im certain I put it in the right folder, that much at least

I didnt know there was new mod sorting program people were using. Guess Ill have to give it a try. For reference I clicked the "code" button on github and clicked download zip, and then unzipped it in the rimworld mods folder. Its called FSF_Complex_Jobs-main. I have an unzipped and a zipped version in that folder since I wasnt sure If Im supposed to unzip it or not, lol.

@Cranberry
It really shouldn't do that since it should identify the mod based on the steamid in the published file. Then again Rimpy is really starting to cause issues now since its old and unmaintained. You should switch to Rimsort, it's being actively developed and it won't throw false issues and warnings due to outdated information.

I downloaded the mod off of github and it comes up as "UNKNOWN" on Rimpy. Does that mean Ive done it wrong or is that safe to ignore?

@multiplayer_rocks
I'm aware its quite widespread but with the amount of "it's only your mods" comments you'd think steam is personally targeting me. Based on Mortagon's comment I'm wondering if this isn't somehow related to different game branches. Either way hopefully steam fixes this issue its extremely annoying for users and myself.

Thanks for github. Appreciate it until these shenanigans from Steam stop. It's not just your collection btw, I am finding a whole lot more like this for now.

@Mortagon
Steam shenanigans, if you can't get it to not screw up the download grab a copy from the included github link.

This mod appears as 1.5 on stable branch and 1.6 on unstable branch

Yeah again that's unfortunately a steam issue. Hopefully it gets fixed some day. At any rate I'm uploading my mods to github now so if you have issues just grab it from there.

It's the same in my case. Just download the github version until it's solved.

Yeah I am also having the 1.5 issue... Even rimsort couldn't get the 1.6 version to download today, even though I had the 1.6 version working fine yesterday lol.

Github + local mod fixed it up though :)

Last update changed version back to 1.5, tried to delete data, re-subscribe and still looks like 1.5

very cool. thanks for responding

@Hades the King
It seems to happen an annoyingly large amount lately. I think the bulk of it is because I tend to release frequent updates when I actually do modding so its causing steams issue to repeatedly trigger. You will get issues if you have both available as they both have the same packageid. Either unsubscribe from the workshop version or simply replace the workshop files with the ones you downloaded from github.

Also will there be duplicate errors when i have the steam and the local mod installed?

Does steam do this very frequently with your mod complex jobs?

@Flamangos
That's just steam being stupid again. There's a github link in the description near the bottom if you have issues.

Mine just reverted back to 1.5 mid playthrough. Deleteing the 1.6 folder. Only this mod

Steam has downloaded the old version of this like 5 times since Odyssey came out for me, having to verify etc each time was quite time consuming so its greatly appreciated that you put it on github, and thank you for the excellent mod.

@Dudenn
That's unfortunately a steam issue and there's nothing I can do to fix it beyond offering some suggestions to hopefully force steam to download it properly. It's why I finally caved and threw it up on a github for people.

I'm brand new to this mod, first time ever installing it, and the 1.6 folder still isn't appearing in the mod folder. Had to download it from Github

@dudenaut
Thank you for the kind words. Also once again people should check the mod settings menu. Splitting Hunting and Fishing was added quite a while ago as a mod setting when it was first requested.

This is a wonderful mod! Thank you so much for developing it – it makes the game much better. I wanted to ask – are you planning to separate hunting and fishing? That would really be necessary!

lol realized I don't have xml extensions because I checked if there was an option to do that

Don't we all, Imagine some nut job making a gitlab into a ticketing system. I was a Network Engineer for an R&D company until recently, it was miserable.

I hate github. For those having problems, enjoy, assuming steam doesn't eat the link.

@Hoki
You might want to check under the mod folder /1.6/Frameworks/XML Extensions and see if the files are there. With steam having issues I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even download them. In that case you can try resubscribing or verifying the game files.

for some reason im not getting the mod settings and yes i have xml extensions going. any know causes for this?

Uh, hey. I've been using this mod since I first started. For controlling people like me, Rimworld is unplayable without it. It's also the model of how to make a configurable mod, because one size doesn't fit all. Thank you so much, FrozenSowFox.

Oh boy, sorry! Very silly of me

@Tagek
People keep asking that. Does nobody check the mod settings? I added it after the first time it was requested.

I know you probably have a bunch on your plate but is there any chance you could seperate hunting from fishing?

No problem, thanks for update. I did try everything suggested still didn't update. Maybe over time it will heal itself.

@allbad
Unfortunately that doesn't work for everyone which is why I've been suggesting manually deleting the files and wiping the cache. A lot of people have had success doing those things. Although I myself had this exact issue with a mod yesterday and after waiting a short while steam fixed itself.

@Yanser
This mod is entirely xml based and has no code. Any perceived performance issues is a result of the tasks themselves which this mod simply reorganises. It just becomes more visible with tools like Dubs Anaylzer because the performance heavy tasks aren't buried under everything else. If anything this mod should increase performance somewhat because you can turn off a large part of the work tab and order things in way that pawns look through less tasks before finding a job.

I'm still getting the 1.6 files missing issue with every update, but all I do now:

1. right click Rimworld > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files
2. if using Rimsort: click the Refresh button

There's some advice about restarting steam, deleting files or clearing cache, but these either don't work or put all the mods in a weird state that caused some other frustrations.

hope this helps others until Steam get's their act together.

Does this mod have a big TPS cost, if any? I'm trying to look for mods that improve my tps, and this one looks like it might help if removed?

@multiplayer_rocks
It's an issue with steam for whatever reason, I had the exact same problem earlier with Mad Skills Plus. Although in my case it actually fixed itself simply by waiting a while.

Sorry, but I don't know what it is with your series of mods, but everytime you do an update to any of them, the 1.6 folders don't get downloaded. I unsubscribe+sub again, clear cache and still don't get them. Full revalidation as well.
Also added rimworld folder to my virus exception. No issues with every other mod. It's really weird. Never had an issue with your 1.5 versions.

I am using the mod on the current comment page. This bug suddenly appeared yesterday while I was playing the game and has not been around for a long time. Currently, installing the Mech Work Tab mod has solved the problem. I found that the transport column of the mech was not checked.

@QiamOnline
There's a setting for that in the mod settings.
