Smarter Construction

Description
Stop your pawns from constantly building themselves into a wall or blocking something that hasn't been built yet. Great for filling sapper tunnels and rebuilding walls.

Currently only affects construction (not installing minified structures). Can be added and removed from saves. Right click => construct will bypass the mod so you can trap things intentionally.

Compatibility
  • Blueprints: fully compatible
  • Misc. Robots++: fully compatible
  • Home Mover: uses minify and install so it can still trap pawns
  • Replace Stuff: uses custom code so it can still trap pawns
  • Achtung!: if you force construction this mod won't apply, but it isn't really an issue since it has custom forced job logic
  • Linux: compatible again!

Performance
Now even faster, and with much less fps drop! Profiling revealed a 1.5% slowdown at the peak of the second gif (10 builders and ~600 wall segments at max speed), and no impact when not constructing anything. For optimization purposes areas of 50 100 tiles+ are considered open.

Found a bug?
Please post it in the bug reports thread with a full log and a screenshot if applicable.

UPDATE WHEN?????????????????

This mod removes vanilla jank in exchange for significant lag late game. (Maybe the author patched it mostly out) The 1.6 update will likely make this mod less laggy OR remove the need for it in the first place. Hopefully someone will test it.

Fantastic mod. Absolutely essential. Mindblowing how the developer of the game hasn´t added something like this.

Is this possible to make it compatible with multiplayer?

if not, are there any alternatives?

How to make it default function ? right now i need press button each time i start building something or they fuck it all up..

i notice my builders get stuck calling out alot of errors and tps goes down crazy. Only way to fix it is to sign them to build a different part and it gets temporary fixed. Kind of annoying and hope it gets fixed.

@tom is definitely right, im playing with a substantial amount of mods but it seems to be due to how the mod calls Verse.Reachability:CheckRegionBasedReachability a bunch of times I believe

This mod helps a lot during the play. :steamthis::steamthumbsup:

This mod causes unplayable stuttering with 20 pawns on construction. 400 mods so likely something conflicting but I have no idea how to even go about figuring it out

it doesn't work
