mlieCallouts Mod adds dynamic text callouts above pawns’ heads during combat and other in-game interactions. These callouts use RimWorld’s grammar system, allowing context-aware messages that reference pawns, their traits, weapons, cover, and more. This version merges features from Callouts Extended and Callouts Expanded and includes an option for non-offensive language.
