Congratulation ! you did a real good job updating your mods to odyssey ! thank you.

Thank you for updating your amazing mods, must have for me !!!

@Inglix Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for updating! Just an FYI, you accidentally included a bunch of base game and unity assemblies in your Assemblies folder.

Thank you for the update! My bases weren't burning down fast enough without this mod!

1.6 Update is Here!!!!! (Don't mind the 1.5 in the image, I don't have the banner files with me ;P)

This mod took extra time due to needing to add support for orbit biomes, "unnatural", and "pocket plane" type maps, as well as that mscorlib error.

Sorry for the long wait. I've been in a different country for the last several months, so very low on time as you can imagine.

I don't have time to extensively test, so tell me if there's any new content/mechanics in the DLC that the mod isn't quite working with or newly introduced issues!

The mod can be added in the middle of a saved game, so no need to restart.

Also to a question asked a long while ago, mod load order doesn't matter. This mod doesn't have any interdependencies with other mods, so it will behave identically no matter where it is. In general, just obey the load order suggestions of other mods, like performance mods that suggest to be loaded last.

Have fun~!

this is horrible news!!! I love me my uncontrollable fires!!!

rip

Sorry you dealing with that Fuko

There's some weird error about not being able to find stack<> or queue<> in mscorlib, where apparently its some version mismatch between the mscorlib used in 1.6's Unity version and the one included in .net framework.

I don't know how to fix it yet.

hi

Youve updated all your mods except this one. Its the most important.

@Fuko Hope your work/play in country B has been rewarding!

I came here looking for news of 1.6 status, but not to ask for an update. Enjoy your time abroad! Watching the rimworlds burn ferociously can wait a bit longer. :D

happy noises

Oh, new Rimworld expansion is out

I've been in a different country for the last several months, so very low on time as you can imagine, but I brought the source code along

I'll try to get my mods updated in the next few weeks.

1.6?? pls?

i also want it for 1.6

Is this compatible with 1.6?

Thank you I'm looking forward to fire being a challenge past the initial wooden base phase

AMEEEEEEEEEEEE

@The Viral Divinity
I don't recommend it. You can already change firewatcher time in this mod.

At the max setting of 10 days, it's practically as good as off as the entire map would have long burned down by then.

Can you use this mod with the Wildfire mod, or do they conflict?

@Dizzy there's another mod called "Wildfire (Continued)" that disables the firewatcher completely if you don't like the rain thing

@Dizzy Even without the onload check, in vanilla the firewatcher checks every 7 seconds, so basically once any fire reaches a certain size, it will immediately rain ;p

Hey, thanks for actually checking. It wasn't any real problem, but I appreciate your work. And honestly the vanilla game should NOT be doing that to even itself. that's just silly.

@Dizzy Ah I figured it out. I found where the vanilla game was forcing an update of the firewatcher when a save is loaded and disabled it. Now it should obey the setting.

Thanks for the detailed testing and report!

Reporting back in. It's likely not this mod's fault but after ten trials, rain starts EVERY time on reload of game if there are fires burning. Not likely a coincidence. Wonder if you can intercept the checker before it sends the rain?

Ok, ty for the info.

@Dizzy The patches are applied right after the game's main menu loads, so it should be taking effect since the saved game hasn't been loaded yet.

Dunno if that's coincidence since it can be anywhere from 0 to 5 days.

Noticed what might just be a coincidence, but set my rain to start 5 days after a fire maximum. Seems like it works, but every time (4x so far) I save and then load a game later the rain starts immediately. Is this a thing that is maybe overlooked or hard coded in a way that the mod can't handle. If so I'll just make sure to avoid reloading.

just so you know I am not the pyro, the other guy is. i strategically tell my pawns to dig out fire breaks around the map to control wildfires, this will make it much more challenging to control.

Oh Yyyyyyyes baby!!!!!!!!

FIRE FIRE FIRE

@Dizzy Okay, I increased the max to 10 days. Have fun ;p

Also with 240 mods (carefully curated) I am getting no errors with this mod loading in to an already saved game. So likely not this mod doing anything wrong as written below.

Another GREAT mod. WOW. Only change I'd beg for is setting for maximum time for Firewatch is maxxed out at 48 hours. I'd like it to go to 5 days (in game) maximum) aaaand... if possible for there to be a separate toggle to just kill the firewatch completely so it never kicks in.

Maxxed out at 48 hours for now though as it's more of a challenged.

THANKS!

@ChillStorms I haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Seems to work fine with pit gate, nerid pocket plane, and deeprim. The numbers do take several seconds of unpaused time to update, the wetness checks are only done periodically to save on cpu cost.

@Guineatown I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a new game with those mods running.

For whatever reason I am getting an error when a world map is loaded (according to Visual Exeption) with this mod and VE-Framework. When I check the debug log though, there is nothing special. I also can't find any issues with the world map, so this may be a issue with VE-Framework since that Updated on the 1. Dezember and many other people have said it has caused issues since then or Visual exeption being dumb and saying there is a serious issue when there is a minor one.

@Fuko of course, Thank you for the quick response. :3

@ChillStorms Oh thanks for the detailed report and thorough testing. I'll check it out ;3

an additional test with DeepRim was preformed just for curiosity's sake.
It appears to break and starts displaying the information for the underground area on the surface, upon changing maps from the surface to the underground then again back to the surface it seems to display the correct information for just a moment then again displays the information for the underground yet again.

I don't actually use DeepRim I was just curious if the same issues would happen.

Anyway I hope this information is useful, thank you for taking the time to read this message. <3

Hello, I wanted to report a possible bug.

It appears that information is not displayed correctly while a pit gate is open
Current fire growth rate and Increase per day do not change despite the fact that it is raining.
I am unsure if this is just a visual bug or this is like a bug bug.
Just to make sure this is an actual bug the only things enabled are all the DLC, this mod, and Harmony.

As far as issues with other mods, I am assuming that Alpha Genes uses the same type of map that the pit gate does because the same exact issues will happen if you have a Nereid Pocket Plane open

The Current fire growth rate and Increase per day seems to sort itself out and display correctly when these Area's no longer exist.

@CuuLaaaBu It won't cause any particular issue, because all this does is add or subtract values from the vanilla "ticks until growth/spread" value.

But I don't know how CE implemented their wind speed/direction system, whether they rewrote the entire system like they did with the combat system, so the changes in this mod might not take effect.

its incompatible with CE? Oh no I didnt read that line and used both since 1.4.
I have to say they worked well together over the past 2 yrs, only an issue that some flames relit repeatedly in some rare conditions. and this issue show up only after 1.5 updated.

@Isidor Yes, I tried to modify the vanilla spread logic to be more realistic by adjusting fire growth and spread speed based on dryness.

So in a steppe, a location with vegetation but very low rainfall, outdoor fire spread would indeed be far higher than say, a jungle.

So the mod already comes close to the real spread of a forest fire as an example? Of course, in the steppe the fire spreads much faster than in a forest.

@Angel It'd work fine together. This mod calculates map dryness based on how long it has been since last rain. So after a rain (including flood), there will be very low map flammability.

Great mod!
I wonder if flooding affects the 'map dryness' from the mod "dynamic flooding.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3144491125&searchtext=flood
It would be cool if it does, I already have to deal with the destruction of the flood, I don't want to deal with a fire right as it recedes. :D
Thank you!

@Isidor Fires will both grow (time until maximum size) and spread (chance to create new fire nearby) by up to 2x the vanilla rate (or the value configured in the options)

has also a realistic spread option?

@The Local *evil laugh*

My whole entire colony burnt to the ground, I don't like you anymore. :(
