mliePawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod lets pawns automatically use fire extinguishers for firefighting whenever possible, falling back to vanilla fire-beating behavior if no extinguisher is available or usable. This makes fire response smarter, safer and fully automated with extinguisher-equipped pawns.
Pawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod Features
- Automatically checks a pawn’s inventory for a usable fire extinguisher before firefighting.
- If a pawn can reach a fire with an extinguisher, they will equip it, move into range, extinguish the fire and then re-equip their previous weapon.
- If no extinguisher is available or usable, the pawn reverts to vanilla behavior and beats out the fire.
- Works with any weapon that uses the vanilla Extinguish damage definition.
- Compatible with fire-extinguishing weapons from other mods out of the box when they use that definition.
- Designed as a lightweight “addition” to auto-equip systems from mods such as Simple Sidearms Mod or Grab Your Tool! Mod (but does not require them).
- Supports extra weapons/tools systems from mods like Pocket Sand Mod and Combat Extended Mod.
- Supports Combat Extended Mod ammo: pawns ignore empty extinguishers and will reload them if given suitable ammo (e.g. Firefoam).
- Very simple and performance-friendly implementation.
- Completely safe to add or remove from existing saves (see note below for removal).
Supported extinguisher sources
- Firefoam Things Mod.
- Vanilla Weapons Expanded Mod (for its fire extinguisher, with extra support notes via Vanilla Expanded Patches Mod by Ben Lubar).
- Fire Extinguisher (Continued) Mod.
- Any other mod whose extinguisher uses the vanilla Extinguish damage definition.
Note: Pawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod is pointless without at least one mod that adds a fire-extinguishing weapon.
Compatibility notes
- Pawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod is safe to add to existing saves.
- When removing Pawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod, small errors may appear in the dev console; they are harmless and will disappear after saving again.
- To be safe when uninstalling, draft and undraft all colonists so none are still trying to use the custom job.
- Fully compatible with Simple Sidearms Mod, Grab Your Tool! Mod, Pocket Sand Mod and Combat Extended Mod.
- Supports Combat Extended Mod‘s ammo system; pawns only use extinguishers with available ammunition and will reload them if given suitable loadouts.
- Extinguishers from any mod using the vanilla Extinguish damage definition will usually work automatically.
If you find an extinguisher that does not work with Pawns Use Fire Extinguishers Mod, test first to confirm and then report it so support can be added.
