People feedback
"This mod has saved me a ton of aggravation when it comes to saving my animals during raids. I have an unrestricted (auto) policy during non-raids. When there's a raid I have another policy called "hide" and they go indoors. If it's an infestation I use another policy where my animals rally in a canyon and eat grass while I kill the bugs" by asquirrel

"My God, I do hate to have to restrict every single animal and pawn individually.. This is the answer to my prayers!" by FreyaMaluk

"Thanks for this, just alt-tabbed out of my game in exasperation to look for a mod that would do this - a heat wave hit for the second time in just a few days and I have to tell 25 guys to go put on dusters instead of standing outside in their jackets till they go insane" by sapling

Oh gosh, BPC and Complex Jobs incompatibility is very sad news indeed as choosing between the two is not something I hoped to do, BPC has been my rock since day one. I’ve just done an entire playthrough (5Y+) with them together with minimal issues in terms of policies for schedules/zones, general work tasks (priorities etc) though I have experienced some issues with resetting of drug types, food type etc which I managed to workaround by setting them in the pawn’s HUD menu instead (where it stuck). That said, I did add Complex Jobs into the mix a little later so SOME were setup in policies already, but I was constantly tweaking work types, priorities and schedules with no issue. I totally appreciate the devs decision to not look further into it (if they haven’t already and deemed it not viable) but hope that ^ issues are the extent of the incompatibility cause if so I can live with that for the many other benefits they bring.

1.6~ Please

Please update for 1.6!

[FSF] Complex Jobs Mod added to the incompatibility list

It seems like it conflicts with all mods that expand the work tab, reseting all values when the tab is closed.
Phiolin Jun 6 @ 6:23am 
There is an issue between BPC and [FSF] Complex Jobs. Wenn BPC is active, job priorities will no longer be saved and will reset as soon as the panel is closed.
Disabling either BPC or [FSF] Complex Jobs resolves the issue. Would be great if this interaction can be fixed. :)

I deleted BPC and it all works now. I have too many mods to pinpoint the incompatibility.
VouLT  [author] May 25 @ 4:04am 
Those "tab stuck", or "reset", are very likely mod incompatibility with other mods. If are able to find which mod causes the error it would be great. Don't assume the error is triggered after the new mod is added.

Assign tab stuck open; all the other tabs open and close as intended.

I experienced work priorities being occasionally randomly reset as well, but also many priorities become unchangable after that happens. Relaunching the game seems to fix the problem, but hard to tell what the cause is.
