1.5?

I love that thumbnail

@test Thank you so much! I really appreciate your work

Awesome! Thank you!

@cralis7 thank you for testing, turns out that mod has a different package id so for now I made a temporary update https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3243741019 , also generated lists for the new hc animals continued

Unfortunately the hidden Cherry Picker is not recognized by this add-on to the mod; and this add-on is simply too awesome to leave behind!

FYI, it seems that some kind soul has released an updated version of Cherry Picker, but has it private. You can find it here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3230046902

@Three cherry-picker hasn't been updated to 1.5, if it updates it should be safe

Is it safe to use this in version 1.5?

This is great! I've been hoping to find something like this, so far I've just been lazy and let myself suffer the duplicates lol. Thank you!

@ev
That's what you think, but I removed a VE mod from my active list and saw test outside my window staring at me until I added it back.

@jinn in outer space, those lists are just pregenerated lists of duplicate things. If you want to do it on your end, you can use the python app https://github.com/stunlocked1/rimworld-scrapper/tree/main , the first function - "Find duplicates between two mods", you just give it 2 mod folders and it gives you ready to use cherry picker list. If you have any questions about how to use it lmk. Its pretty effortless so I can do it for you if you give me a list of mods that should overwrite VE

is there any way to easily swap VE to the bottom of the priority list on my end? I dont need a whole new list or anything your prioritization otherwise is good I would just prefer VE to be the replaced one.

@test I don't use your mod, but I find the idea of there being some sort of pro-VE conspiracy that you're secretly supporting to be so incredibly laughable that I wanted to weigh in. I hope these guys aren't bothering you too much, some people only see what they want to see and no amount of logic or reason in the world will persuade them that anything other than their predetermined view is true. Being a modder is really thankless work a lot of the time, but great job for making this.

@test
I appreciate the offer of choices, I'll get back to you when I can. Thanks!

@Test I usually don't post, but seeing this I just gotta say bless you for keeping your calm with these guys man.

@Tri-Enclave President CEO what mods do you want higher priority than VE? from the top of my head i remember animal collab project, anything else? or just all of them?

"I can make an unlisted alternative version with the priority you want"
Would appreciate that, while I do like some of the VE mods, the bloat it usually adds is a headache to deal with. Cheers.

@RoyalFox bro just tell me the exact thing that you think should have higher priority than VE. I told you I have to stick to one priority and there is no priority that everyone agrees with. How exactly do you want me to fix that?

I find "accident" hard to believe. You support removing non-vanilla expanded out of a personal preference and the comment pointing it out disappears? This one too will probably disappear. Popularity doesn't mean quality either, every time VE has overlapped with something else the other mod has done it better and with more configuration options. Oh well, this is moot to argue.

If you still fundamentally disagree with the way this mod is made, I posted a link to the app I used, I will add documentation soon, and you are free to use it and make your own alternative however you want it.

@RoyalFox I accidentally deleted your comment. Point is, there is no way to reliably detect all duplicates without false positives, I can only filter those if I pre-generate rules. Even if there was, it would require complex custom C# code.

My mod relies on Cherry Picker which takes care of displaying all rules and I have no control over how it does that. If I included all possible rules, it would be extremely tedious for me and users. Adding custom display would, again, require custom C# code. I can't even do that until I learn C#.

Finally, this mod already supports 99% animal mods. If something isn't supported, people can report it and I'll add it. Yes people will have to adhere to my priority but it is made in a way to conform to as many people as possible, by being based on popularity. If you think priority should be different, let me know why.

@RoyalFox this is a simple cherry picker list, it doesn't generate the lists of things to delete on the fly, they are pregenerated, so i simply don't have a choice but to stick to some priority, and obviously there is no perfect priority that everyone would be satisfied with. I picked VE because it is the most popular one. I can make an unlisted alternative version with the priority you want but I won't be maintaining it because i dont want to maintain multiple mods

If anything I would prefer to disable duplicate content added by vanilla expanded. Why would you make it not able to be disabled out of your personal preference?

Debloating Vanilla Bloat Expanded

Sir, why are you giving VE priority when its them copying others ♥♥♥♥ 90% of the time?

Resource dictionary is already doing it for items IMO so you shouldn't worry about it (or you could integrate it in your mod if they are OK with it)

thank you so much!

@Archilyte yes, all rules from it are in this mod

wait so duplicate animal remover is now obsolete?

@DisKorrupt yeah, one issue is that when you have a lot of mods the amount of duplicates get impressively big. it even makes resource dictionary interface laggy. So it can be tedious to manually de-duplicate stuff with it. If it had the same feature as cherry picker deflists i'd use it for animals as well
