[FSF] Complex Jobs

The original worktypes leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to prioritising jobs across a colony. This mod breaks down the existing worktypes into smaller worktypes allowing you to make things run smoother and more efficiently. It also reorganises the individual tasks in worktypes so they run more intelligently and efficiently.

A full list of worktypes and mod settings can be found here.


The mod settings can be changed in the XML Extensions menu. It can be accessed via the plus icon next to the mod options in the main menu. All mod settings are off by default.


This mod should be loaded near the end of your load order after any mods that add new work types or work tasks. It should be compatible with other mods providing they don’t reconfigure jobs like this one does. It should work fine with Fluffy's Work Tab though. It should be compatible with any mods that add new mechanoids without needing specialised patches however let me know if you encounter issues.

If you'd like extra work priorities I suggest you use a mod like PriorityMaster as adding such a thing is beyond my ability.

If you want a work tab for mechanoids take a look at the mod Mech Work Tab.


Changes to the work tab can cause save breaking issues for some people. This version of the mod will be updated whenever I please and may add or change things. This version of the mod may break saves for some people or in some cases mess up your work priorities requiring them to be reset. If you are a person who experiences save issues when the work tab changes or you just want to be safe please use the legacy version at the link below or make a manual backup to prevent further updates.

Complex Jobs (Legacy Version)


Biotech

There's an issue with the Biotech dlc where mechanoids in existing saves will not gain new work types added by new mods even if they are patched to do so. Also, on very rare occasions mechanoids in existing saves might loose the new work types for some reason. The only way currently to fix this problem is to reset the existing mechanoids. This can be done rather easily with the use of dev mode. First enable God Mode (Face Symbol) then click a mech and press the Make Feral button, then click Recruit, then click assign overseer.


You can find a list of mods that have been patched for better support or to fix issues here

If you are using a mod that requires a patch and isn't on the list, post a link to the mod in question in the discussion thread and I'll see about adding it.


I don't intend to upload this mod in smaller pieces or offload everything to mod options. I don't really intend to do any major changes on how the work type setup is done but I am open to suggestions on improving it. If you have suggestions such as changing the priority of a task, moving it to another worktype, splitting it off into its own worktype or something else I failed to mention feel free to leave a comment.


I can't support other languages properly since I don't speak them. There's a few probably out of date translations included that have been provided over the years however anyone looking to do a translation should simply upload a translation patch of their own.
