Enemy Self Preservation

Description
BE AWARE THAT THIS MOD WILL DECREASE COMBAT DIFFICULTY SIGNIFICANTLY.

Humanoid enemies are no longer suicidal and will flee from combat when they are in a significant amount of pain.

It is designed to be used with my other mod Faction Raid Cooldown, but can be used standalone.

Also I highly recommend using No One Left Behind as well.


Mechanics
By default the base pain level = 25%, but you can set this to whatever you want in the mod settings menu.

A regular humanoid will flee if their pain exceeds the pain level.
A humanoid with the 'Wimp' trait will flee when they receive any injury.

If over half the raid is fleeing/has fled, the rest of the raid will flee.

Your colonists, animals and mechanoids are not affected.


Compatibility
Uses harmony for maximum compatibility but I've added some stuff to the 'pawn damaged' code so if you run into any weird issues try moving this mod around in your mod load order.


Feeling generous?

Shamblers seem to try to self preserve, any hope of an anomaly look for patches?

This mod is causing error log after the enemy that is fleeing left the map, is it possible for you to check why this happens?

So the higher i set the "Pain % to Flee" in the mod options the higher pain must a pawn be suffering to flee right? because im having trouble finding this to trigger

It'd be pretty neat to have an option so that unwaveringly loyal pawns never flee. Makes sense to me, die for the cause and all that.

Can confirm fungoid related shenanigans. Custom race enemies who have mind coalescence also sent my own pawn with the same gene running off the map to never be seen again!

cai seems to work with self preservation - only combat issue i had (which may not be because of either mods) was the ancients fleeing after having a crashed ship event where i killed two fungal ancients (from VE fungoid). after about a day or so, i got a notification saying the ancients in the ancient danger were leaving. that was the only issue

I would consider increasing what it takes for raiders to flee, it is really low rn, a single shot and they run away, and then if enough of them do that they just run away even sooner. It's like you're barely fighting a raid.

IMO, I would create an option that could for example prevent fleeing until maybe 25% of the raid is dead or downed.

Then, I would have it be so a group of 2-3 pawns decide to flee together instead each pawn deciding individually because it looks really weird when you have an entire group of raiders and then one guy just randomly starts running away. (or a mix of the two).

Thats just my thoughts on the mod.

kind of a turnoff. i think it would be cool if raiders setup a designated med zone for enemy pawns to fall back to when injured, instead of giving up.

Does this mode make enemies rescue their downed allies when fleeing?

This mod was a lifesaver for me when CE wasn't updated to 1.5.
