Has lots of bugs

The name of this module will be wrong in Chinese environment

WOW my favorite mod updates so fast

already updated to 1.6

I have an issue where the UI for sidearms and drafting will disappear permanently if I burn an effigy for Ideoligion. Had to reload an older save and remove this mod to fix it.

@SFH Same here.

I'm getting a lot of problems with pawns randomly dropping their weapons on the ground with this mod. Someone below mentioned "pick up and haul" might be related. Any suggestions? Change settings somewhere? I need to fix this problem, and the sidearms are a cool idea but I also need them to succeed at carrying weapons

For me, Pawns won't change to meele when in close combat, in settings this option is enabled

@Dman1791 You need to use the Assign Tab instead of force equipping

Is there a way to forbid specific weapons from being kept in inventory? Using this with combat training, and everyone likes to keep the BB gun and such when they're done training.

Is it just me, or recently this mod has changed the behaviour of picking up weapons if the pawn drops it (eg when downed). I play with infusions, if a pawn drops a weapon but remembers it, I want them to pick up the EXACT weapon they dropped, not any of the same type based on location or "best" as the settings for this mod suggest. I believe this was the behaviour back in 1.4 and older. My only ask is can we have this literal setting? It's annoying if I have a pawn that has a weapon focused on max trade price negotiation (infusions-wise), and they get downed, and pick a different weapon of the same type. That's not how I want the behaviour to work.

is it just me or "pick up and haul" makes them drop the sidearm weapon?

What does this mod check for when searching for mod weapons?

EDIT: So, to answer my own question here, one needs to add the following flag to items that can be used as, but are not inherently a weapon:

<weaponTags>
<li MayRequire="PeteTimesSix.SimpleSidearms">ImprovisedMelee</li>
</weaponTags>

So those of you adding unique weapons that are not weapons, you may wanna jot this down if you want compatablity with this mod.

That aside...this mod also has an issue with the mod Not a Weapon in not forgetting the weapons that mod removes. I figured out a solution for this, but it has to be done from that mod's side to work I think.

As an aside, it may be useful to add an option to "forget all weapons." This should fix the issue from this side indirectly - and would also make changing their load-out simpler.

found a bug with a gene that made it so a pawn shouldn't be able to equip weapons, simple sidearms bypasses it

remove this mod midgame KILLS your UI,nothing helps

remove this mod mid game cause serious bug(Missing UI),make the game compeletely unplayable,yet it make my pawn stuck at weapon shelf,keep equiping weapon.
Install mid saver may solve this

游戏过程中删掉这个mod会造成严重的bug（大量UI缺失)，但有了这个mod后我的小人会卡在武器架子上不断装备武器
安装mid saver 可能会解决这个问题

The mod does seem to be working. I have Vanilla Weapons extended and the non-lethal addon, and even with everything set to no limits, I can't equip any other weapon as a sidearm. I even tried using a vanilla weapon and it didn't work. It keeps telling me that I don't have space which doesn't make since if everything is set to no limits. I just want to carry a non-lethal weapon with me sadge

doesnt work so hot in multiplayer, causes desync

I think forbidding it as a sidearm just means that won't have it as a secondary weapon also equipped in the inventory and ready to switch into when appropriate. Usually, arming them with any other weapon prevents them from wanting to pick up a stick.

Yeah this doesn't work at all. Wood is forbidden as a sidearm and even pawns who shouldn't even be able to do melee at all insist on whacking shit with wooden sticks.

I put wood in Not sidearms yet pawn still picking them up as weapon. How to stop that??

How can I set pawn on range switch from sniper to pistol instead of sniper to grenades?

Gotta admit, i wouldn‘t had thought (almost) all my problems had been resolvable in the settings ofcthe mod, im sincere impressed!

i can confirm the disappearing weapons but they dont just vanish i often find them in storage somehwere

Had to anaestezise one of my barely living coonists to not jump out the bed after getting able to walk and let the doc tend to the other 20 wounds.
There was no other way to keep her in bed, the very moment she awoke to consciousness and missed her beloved sidearm so much

Then there was the new guy, he mistook the beer in his pocket for his sidearm.
Don‘t know if he had it already, when he joined.
However… he then started to drink that beer on every recreation occasion.
Apparently he restocked it immediately and became alcoholic in no time 🤣

I had to forbid the frag grenade because i can‘t remember who already had this.
Would been good to add to description the way pawns remember their equipment, because its now fiddeled to manage the gear since i did manage it at first via the inventory.
Dropping the gun via the gizmo wasn‘t my first thought

Somehow weapons just dissapear sometimes, some ppl start collecting several sideknives, and then that one frag grenade…
Somehow there is always somebody to pick them up and pull them like „surprise“ at the most worse moment, blowing my melee-block, the entrance and the next-tile prison wall the very moment that manhunter-massive storms in 🤣

Crafters prefer the Brick Saw over thimble/forge hammer when doing tailoting/smithing at the stations other than tailor/smithy [Toolmetrics mod]

Does anyone know of a mod that handles bionic weapons differently, to make them work with this mod? Or if not, is it possible, Pete, to include some kind of option to make bionics work in tandum with the sidearm or something, so they stack together, or otherwise aren't completely useless? Thanks for hearing me. And many thanks for all the mod work.

Hello. First, I want to say I love this mod. I've been using it for ages now and on several runs. I can't imagine playing the game without it.

Second: I was hoping to bring up something to is sort of a side effect of using this mod. When you have the ability to equip a melee weapon and a ranged weapon at the same time (which is a good thing), it makes having things like bionic weapons (even fancy ones like those from EPOE) completely useless. Because if I can equip any basic weapon, its bound to be more efficient than the bionic implant. Testing it, it actually makes a pawn's DPS go down by a fare amount if the weapon they are armed with has higher ratings.

Just recently had an issue with the mechanics of the mod.

During a combat one of my pawns lost an arm and fell unconscious. My doctor dragged her to bed and went to get medicine and the pawn woke up and decided it needed its weapons back.....despite the fact that she was still bleeding out from her MISSING LIMB. Doctor had to go pick up the unconscious amputee *again*

Is there a setting im missing to stop this from happening or is this a bug?

Combat Extend compatible?

I lied. Both guns are from the Arma 3 weapons. Maybe there wasn’t enough range percent difference. Gonna tweak the range difference and see what’s up.

I’m seeing my sniper can’t change successfully over to a smaller ranged side arm. The guns keep glitching back in and out (from Gun Nut Core, I think). And then when the enemies get into lasso range from Melee Actions, he lassos them in and swap over to melee successfully.

Soo I've had this consistent glitch, the pawns will successfully use sidearms in melee and such, but it just keep disappearing my weapons, I had everyone with masterwork and Legendary charge rifles, with sidearms for melee combat, but if they switch weapons a couple times in a fight their main weapon ends up disappearing, having to lose several Legendary charge rifles makes the auto switching weapons for melee combat option not worth

@Twiggymc
As a workaround you could disable logs as weapons with something like Tweaks Galore, some other mods also have such setting. Personally never had that issue tho, so it might as well do nothing.

I'm having a nasty bug were my pawns that have no weapons like fresh recruits or slaves, will go and try to auto equip a log only to become unselectable i cant do anything i cant tell them to drop the log and it lags the whole game and they stand there till they die, i looked in the options and i dont see log even up there as a weapon of choice, i tried disabling all sidearm options and they still try to equip the log

There is soft incompatibility with [SheathYourSword],
As I know,NewRatkinPlus and Miho use [SheathYourSword],
It's just a visual error, not displaying tools when colonizers are working with them.
There is no problem with switching functions.

Hello, great mod, thank you, but I have a problem. My colonists who are unable to use weapons keep picking up various weapons and putting them in their backpacks, even though they can't use them. How can I solve this without having to get rid of the colonist?

Anyone know why this causes the game to say my pawn doesn't have a shield equipped?

Well, I'm using Kurin HAR Edition and it's been working great with Simple Sidearms for a long time (including the current version), so it can't be "anything that uses HAR".

This does not work with Star Wars Factions or anything that uses HAR.

ugh, the bug stopped happening all of a sudden. I'll write up a better report about this bug once I've learned more about it. "androids despawn guns sometimes" is a useless bug report.

does anyone know how to fix that bug where in android tiers, if an android fumbles a weapon is dissapears? I seem to remember having that problem before but can't remember how I fixed it.

the link to the details page doesn't work?

i got error log with Exosuit framework ... does this mod compatible with it?

yall know the reason why your comments are not being responded top is because yall won't make a bug report XD

Is fumbling the chance to drop weapons on floor when a pawn is incapacited or seriously injuried?

I read the 27 pages on the forum and can't find what is fumbling. Please what is fumbling?
