is there a way to optimize medieval overhaul stuff

Is there a way to make the mod ignore certain types of leather? I'm trying to make some armor from Biomes! Caverns that requires a special leather from their modded animals, I unticked the boxes for those animals on the Optimization Leathers settings but there's no change.

@ggfirst needs to be below any mods that add a leather in your load order

This mod quite bugged. Some features doesn't work for me.
For instance changing some mod-added animals leather type. After restarting the game even.
No error logs. :(

1.Can this mod be removed from a playthrough?
2. Is there any reason reported for not being able to use the config
to disable some of the optimizations of specific animals?

@Teralitha Wool isn't a leather, thus not covered by this mod.

This mod doesnt affect traders items. They will still have specific resource items like.. "bison wool duster" instead of heavy fur or whatever bison is in this mod, not sure if this means you cant ever trade items made from the modded skins or not.

Great mod, but I need to configure it to make it even more streamlined (really only want one type of leather, similar to the meat optimization mod).

To do this you need to use the the mod options menu, but for me it seems to have no effect. However, if I edit the xml file directly it does work.
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios\Config

This mod always had this problem @ParasiticSquid. Some leathers could never be picked up and used even though disabled. Also Night leather from Alpha Animals and Rimbees also got that Leather.

Got a issue. Disabling galatross and moribound galatross from alpha animals from being effected doesn't seem to re-enable selecting galatross leather from storage or bill menus. Reason this is such a big issue is when this is used with alpha bees you can straight up get galatross leather from legendary bees even with this mod installed.

But if you can't store or even do anything with it it just sits there on the floor forever. No clue if it's a compat issue or not but it's the same issue I had with biomes caverns a while back oof

@theothersteve7 you can disable it settings for each of the insects unless theres a bug that i dont know off
@pig in a pumpkin terrible idea

-Fixed Issue with Xenotypes that give specific leathers when butchering ( example : VE Pigskins)
-Excluded Anomaly monsters from auto Optimisation

Dunno if you take feedback for defaults, but it should really be disabled for the Black Chitin from Alpha Animals. Nice mod btw

I was wondering if there was a way we could get a "Sector box" when holding out mouse over the check mark to make sure you are changing the one you wanted to change

can i remove this from a playthrough?

Can you please add the option to search for an animal? The list isn't in alphabetical order so it takes a really long time to find the animal I need...

This mod prevents you from acquiring dread leather to the best of my knowledge.

only found this mod recently, absolutely love it. I'd also like to ask for a toggle all on/off button, as well as a search bar. There's 2 particular leather types I want to keep in my playthrough, and it's very tricky searching through all the animal and animal corpses that drop it. since they're not sorted alphabetically.

Great mod, love it. some feedback though, I would like a toggle for all on/off. reset just turns them all on. Id be nice to start from none. thanks :D

Update: I disabled all biomes cavern chitin creatures in this mods config to be sure it wasn't a situation where another creature used the same chitin so this mod disabled it. Chitin afterwards is still fully disabled leading to the previous issue which is.. odd. No clue if theres another mod that can cause this mods config changes to not take effect or it caverns just needs compatibility to prevent literally useless items from their animals when using this mod. Can't even haul them for obvious reasons. odd issue all around so far

Found a issue with this and biomes caverns. This disables the chitin from that mod and disabling the animals giving those disabled chitin in this mods config doesn't re-enable them. What this leads to with biomes caverns is certain insects that given you their normal butchered chitin as resource drops similar to wool still give the resources.. but you can't have it stored or used at all since it's not in any item catagories and doesn't exist as far as the games concerned.

Bovine beetle is the best example of this. Gives green chitin which is also it's butcher leather leading to this and disablling bovine beetle and it's lifestages doesn't seem to enable green chitin to allow storing and using it.

Hi there, is there a way to disable optimisation for individual animal? I'm trying to keep magical leather from Alpha Mythology

Replying to myself: The issue happens when I use the categorized tabs for the inventory on the left side of my screen.

Thx for the mod. Could you please add compatibility patch for Alpha Animals?

I'm having the same issue as DreiPixel. Might be bc I'm using mlie "bad leather category" mod? Dunno

Looked for nonexistent key Leather_Dread in counted resources.
getting alot of this :V

Great mod! Would it be possible to sort the creatures alphabetically, including the corpse?

With a lot of modded animals, it’s sometimes hard to find the right animal, and to also keep things consistent between the live animal and corpse if they are manually changed.

@hamed91211173
The reason for requesting such feature was fixing vre - pigskins pig leathers, hope fellow Scorpio will fix that

is it possible to add leather exclusion like meat optimization mod

Working on the pig issue

Hello Scorpio, thanks for this mod, it's so useful! Would you be able to do a similar one for wool as well?

No worries if not :D

if you butcher a pigskin from VFE_Pigskin all your pawns will instantly freeze forever, its related to the pighsking introduced by that mod

Thanks for all your hard work @Scorpio.

Update to 1.5 bug fixes coming latter

Great mod. Please dont forget the pigskin leather from vanilla expanded.

It works for me in 1.5 even as 1.4. (won't pretend to have actually tested it, but, it all looks good.)

@Xelphos can i get more details

its coming to 1.5

1.5 please?

please add the ability to manually designate leathers in the mod settings. i think this will fix any incompatibilities as players could just manually designate which skins/leathers fall under which category.

Hopefully this eventually gets patched to fix the mod issues mentioned below. Among the several leather mods I've seen for RimWorld, this one seems to have the most potential to be mod-friendly.

There is an incompatibility with Vanilla Races Expanded - Pigskin. VRE has that race give pigskin when butchered. If you have CherryPicker you can disable the VRE Pigskin Leather Game Def, It's literally called VRE_Pigskin, just search for it and you will find it.

this doesn't catch leathers produced by alpha bees. galatross and night leather completely ignore this mod if they're extracted from associated honey combs.

The Issue with VFEInsectoids still persists. I cant craft anything with Chitin in any menu but i can still find or buy gear made from it :(

The only screenshot is literally a config screen to allow or deny certain leathers.

So wait, how does this work if we just want to keep some modded leathers in the game? Do we have to select the check mark and then tell it what leather to use or what? Like it seems to just invalidate all leather down to just those and I'm not sure how to make an exception

so i am using alpha animals and would like to keep the night leather but if i disable those animals and put night leather for them i get the resource when slaughtering but i cannot store or craft with it. what to do?

Was the issue with VFE Insectoids fixed?, People have listed it in comments but it's not added to the conflicts list in Description and not acknowledged at all by Author in comments?

Vanilla Factions Expanded Insectoids seems to clash with this Mod.

The production Tab only looks for the VFE Chitin so the OPT butchered resource is useless as it cannot be used at any workbench. Any chance this could be patched?
