I keep having problems with this mod. It seems to remove pawns that are actually still in use, like my colonists sometimes, as well as buried raiders/visitors. I also keep getting errors on game load related to a missing reference to bookshelves of all things.

I've tried turning off all settings in the mod config, and it's been okay until now, but when I loaded the game a few minutes ago one of my colonists disappeared, and reappeared after loading the game a second time. I worry this might happen again and I won't notice until after I save over the previous save, losing my colonist forever.

Can I remove this mod mid-playthrough? Or will it corrupt my save if I do?

Do "former colonists" involve released prisoners? What about released slaves?

how does this play with the great hierarchy from VFE Empire?
I know that RuntimeGC messes it up

you will need this for any save our ship 2 bescue this is needed so it keeps the bloat donw as well. bescue all of thsoe dead and blown up pawns that are not mothballed is knida makeing my game and comptuer suffer just form the sheare amonut of data.

Does this blow up pawns in graves and other storage that aren't technically 'on' the map?

Now on I won't picking up random bodies to bury anymore.

Found a bug, AI translate on below for reference.

While attempting to load pawns or items into a transport pod attached to a launch platform, the loading interface (Dialog_LoadTransporters) fails to populate any transferables.

This issue was traced to a NullReferenceException during the sorting of transferables by mass, specifically in StatPart_BodySize.TryGetBodySize.

Root cause: A corpse object (likely previously stored in a mechanoid's inventory) was garbage collected, leaving a dangling reference. When the game attempts to evaluate bodySize or GearAndInventoryMass for that corpse during UI rendering, it crashes the sorting routine with InvalidOperationException: Failed to compare two elements in the array.
This prevents the transport pod from accepting any contents and breaks caravan formation logic.

Bro... you just saved my game... Planet coverage 100% + 30 factions on the map... lol, day 15 I was bricked. Your mod was a magic wand eraser

Hello there!
Is there something similar for 1.3?
Because my game is nearly unplayable (x1 being the highest speed)

I reported a bug in the discussions, could the author please take a look?

Ive been meaning to look into this deeper but ive got a similar issue with 30,000 world pawns that refuse to be purged even with the most aggressive cleanup settings. I suspect it might have to do with raider swarm compression but I don’t think so.

My 11 pawns died because they got mothballed on a quest lol

For some reason my save is only getting rid of around 10 pawns while keeping 2500+ around. Does anyone else have this issue or know what mods might be impacting it? I thought it was maybe the 'grudges' mod but it wasn't. My next guess is possibly the vanilla royalty expanded which adds to the royal family and is deeming them all as important? Any help would be appreciated!

Very good mod, but I hope that you'll address the problems posted in the comments. Thank you for your work!

Same as Stryyyder, can confirm if you enable the quest cleanup stuff it bricks both gravship (will not generate mechhive) and relic

completed subquests shouldn't be automatically deleted. Since quest deletion is on by default, i loaded in to find my progress toward finding my relic and the gravship questline completely reset...

whats a mothball

Mod works very well with vanilla game, a must have for me.

I wish you could exempt some pawns from being removed - like colonists' lovers that are off-map and were not part of the colony before. As it stands, it looks like you either get rid of everyone or nothing at all.

Nvm 25/25 pages back there was an entire experiment that covered it lol +1 for going back through the comments, should prob put that compatibility in the description.

Compatible with Vanilla outposts expanded? or do i need to use the gentle option? anyone playing with both?

This mod has a tendency to remove my pawns

thank you for the update ^^

Are vanilla quest expansion mods supported?

Doing the lords work updating this so fast man actual goat

Yes @WildStargazer that will happen if the timer of a colonist pawn remover is shorter than the pawn lending quest. I disabled the colonist pawn remover option entirely because the biggest problem for Rimworld are the dead world pawns that will bloat your save.

Maybe it always worked like this, not long before taking quest I moved slider "colonists cleanup" from 20 days to 5 days, and borrowing for quest was 13 days. I just changed settings to be 20 days again.

I meant to say "pawn lending" (borrowed), Empire requesting helpers quest.

@WildStargazer I'll try to reproduce it

There might be a bug, looks like my pawn was removed from world pawns during "Landing pawns" quest, and when shuttle returned there were no pawns. I am not sure if it is mod bug or Odyssey bug.

I love you

@GwinnBleidd you are the goat buddy

I was having very frequent tps drops that lasted several seconds in my save but after installing this mod I have not had the problem since. It did cull over 1k pawns which would explain it.

Thank you for update! Your mod is a life saver for long runs.

Please add Harmony to the list of dependencies.

This is simply one of the best mods available in Rimworld.

I wish someone could escalate and make it into the core game.

Thank you @GwinnBleidd

Thanks man, hope you come back to this game.

dude, this is one of my essential mods, thanks a lot for all your work

Updated to 1.6.
I don't play much RimWorld these days, so I didn't test it too much. Please report back any issues

will this mod be updated to 1.6?

1.6 plz,we need this

This mod will go to 1.6?

1.6 please

please update this mod. It is crucial.

I love it when you load up the save it gives you a report, gives the feeling that the game is released from a little preassure every time, I love it. We need this in 1.6 hope you are alright and you can upgrade it.

1.6 UPDATE PLEASE!

do ex-colony pawns that get diplomatically married off to another colony via the 'romance on the rim' mod get mothballed? i have a tendency of accepting in random pawns and immediately marrying them off for faction relations, and am only now realizing that might be messing my game lol

Mod options are not working on 1.6, empty window.

Seems to be working on 1.6
