It is possible, please tell me what mod it is and I'll check it

Might be an issue on my end related to this giant patch mod I have

I swear I have specifically patched that one, did they change the trait? I'll look into it later today

Alpha Mechs' Mech Master warcasket still limits the user's ability to work due to it giving a different warcasket trait instead of the regular one

Is it possible for you to add the functionality to choose what types of work warcaskets can and can't do?

Do you think you could add an option to slow down the work speed of warcaskets? I like the idea of warcaskets being able to work, but I think they should have a steep penalty to global workspeed. Maybe it could also be dependent on the tier of warcasket, so higher tiers suffer less of a penalty.

thanks for the reply

The mod works by editing the Warcasket trait, so it should, unless the mod uses it's own trait

hey, is this mod compatible with "Warcasket Expanded"?

Why does the image look so funny for no reason

about the idea of @Gruntly The Mailman, what I did was edit the "Warcasket" trait to reduce work speed, it work well with this mod, you can do the same using RIMMSqol

@赤光的宣言 It does

Anyone knows if this works in 1.5?

A tedious method is adding a global workspeed debuff on the casket itself (or debuffs for work where it makes sense as in mining would likely be the same or easier but cooking in that big hunk of metal sounds like pain) (would have to be done for each one added including other mods)

@Morcalvin You only need this one. The haul one exists for those that want warcaskets to do be able to *only* do dumb labour and nothing more complex

Do I need Warcaskets can haul as well as this mod for warcaskets to haul or can I just use this mod?

I like the idea, but I don't know how to make settings

I second Gruntly's idea. Otherwise there won't be any downsides to warcaskets

got a cool idea pop up in my head
how about instead off warcasket can work without downside or cannot work entirely, they can do every work (unless the pawn is whiny about hauling) but with lower global workspeed since they have big metal hand
this can be adjusted in the mod setting

probably hard to make the mod

@FluffyTowels Legend! Thanks mate!

@[BW] Kilo Fixed it. The issue was caused by me setting dependancies wrong and the patch trying to activate when it shouldn't

Hello mate, just in case it wasn't reported yet, looks like your Alpha Mechs patch has an issue ("Failed to find a node with the given xpath"), see link below for the HugsLib log (links directly to the line in question). If steam removes the link, let me know and I can PM it to you.

Thanks for bringing my attention to that, I'll try to include patch for that mod

Nevermind, I figured it out, the mod used a custom "Trait" for the warcasket, and I figured out you just edited the trait in the game so that warcaskets can work. I just used character editor to fix the problem. (The warcasket was the one from alpha mechanoids, by the way I guess)

Heya, the mod doesn't seem to work? I am using a modded warcasket right now if that changes anything, but I have my literal best pawn in a warcasket and he can barely do anything now.

thanks

Should be safe, but make sure not to have them both activated.

is it safe to replace warcasket job mod (enable warcasket to do some job) with warcasket can work mod

I don't know why that is the case, it should be (and from what I can see, is) exactly the same as the old version. Please check there are no other mods that could responsible for that

i started getting massive fps drops since the update of the mod
VFEPirates.Trait_AllowsWorkType_Patch:Postfix
it gets a couple of million calls in just seconds

Nothing, I messed up while making another patch

Rimpy jumpscared me with a notification to download an update for this mod. What did the update do?

@Taco Gimp It has something to do with how Vanilla Expanded does their shields, specifically ones that disallow ranged attacks. The only way I can fix it is by allowing the brute warcasket to use ranged weapons, which I feel would impact the balance way too much for my patch. If you're fine with making that sacrifice, in VFE - Pirates files go to 1.4\Defs\ThingDefs_Misc\Apparel_Various.xml (you can open in it in any text editor as far as I know) and delete line 2113 (it should say <dontAllowRangedAttack>true</dontAllowRangedAttack>). If any of this sounds too complicated, I suggest asking for help on how to do that in the rimworld discord.

Like @Avarice, I’m having issues with a brute firefighting. I also have a siegebreaker that is successfully firefighting, but my poor brute just stands there and waits to get burnt. I’m not knowledgeable enough to figure out why on my own so he’s been taken off the fire squad permanently

Oh, thank gosh this mod exists. Because I'm raising up 7 kids to eventually inter in warcaskets? And-uh, they all have a passion for cooking. I was honestly feeling terrible for taking that away from them.

Thank you again lol

Should work fine on 1.4

Please update to 1.4

After seeing the "complexity" of your mod, Good job by the way. quick and effective!, I decided to dig deeper into it. It was only one of my warcaskets. the one in brute armor.

Deleting the shield from the brute chest piece fixes the firefighting issue.(literally going into Apparel_Various.xml and removing the VFECore.CompProperties_ShieldBubble entry) Randomly turning blockMeleeAttack on also did not fix it, which I didn't expect it to, it also did not stop that megasloth from hitting right through it ... yeah sounds like I have a different issue.

Welp its not your mod, it has somthing to do with shields, which can easily be a weird mod issue... I'll see myself out XD

I can say with my WAY too many mods installed with yours installed midgame they did not firefight drafted or otherwise (and when ordered to do so just looked at it, yes I could give them the order, so it is not like they were prevented from doing so). but unless somebody else speaks up ill chalk it up too some sort of incompatibility. they do butcher and haul though! (get out of the way you slow asari charmed sarcophagus wearing idiot)

Does it still work?

New Pirates update today! Will this be updated soon?

Nice, now my ancient pawn in a warcasket can rejoin the work force.

Aye, thanks mate. Though I just made the mod I talked about :D

Can't they firefight in VFE pirates by default? You can also just unassign them from work types you think they shouldn't be able to do

Hey man, this mod is cool, but if you could make a mod that lets warcaskets do only hauling, tending, and firefighting, that would be super.

(Yes, I do know the hauling enabler, but I don't want them to only haul things or other jobs like crafting and construction.)

@kaakeli, I don't mean to sound rude but honestly while I know I'm no professional metalworker, nor do I know what exactly the armor in this game is designed as, I did use to work as a scrapper and had to take apart things that you likely would be used to putting together. It would be a bitch-and-a-half to design it where most blades/small arms fire would be pointless to use against war caskets, heavier weapons would likely be able to punch right through and kill the pawn almost immedately, depending where they were hit. You could probably have either the 'tough' trait or use something that decreases incoming damage for them though?

kaakeli Yayo's combat armor mechanics will make Warcasket absolutely useless without a patch

Good luck with that, you're the modder. I don't know jack shit about modding RimWorld.
Great mod btw.
