mliePlease Haul Perishables Mod improves hauling behavior in RimWorld by prioritizing food and other perishable items so they are collected before they rot or deteriorate. This updated version brings the original mod by MarvinKosh to newer versions of the game while ensuring compatibility with Pick Up and Haul.
Please Haul Perishables Features
This mod introduces new hauling logic and WorkGivers that prioritize time-sensitive items. Colonists will attempt to haul items that risk rotting or deteriorating before dealing with other goods.
Prioritized Perishable Hauling
- Perishable priority: Items that would rot within one in-game year or deteriorate to zero hitpoints within ten days are prioritized for hauling.
- Environmental effects: Rain and water exposure, which accelerate deterioration, are taken into account.
- Outdoor focus: Perishables are only prioritized when they are located outside.
- Stack size checks: Larger stacks of perishable items are prioritized based on hauling capacity and race carrying limits.
- Nearby stacks: Smaller stacks may still qualify if combining them could form a larger stack.
Food Storage Optimization
- Food priority hauling: Food will be hauled if it needs to move from a lower priority storage zone to a higher priority one.
Improved General Hauling
- Value-based hauling: Valuable items like silver or large stacks of goods are prioritized even if they are not perishable.
- Stack detection: The system checks surrounding cells to determine whether larger stacks of the same item can be formed.
- Fallback behavior: The default hauling routine handles any remaining items not prioritized by the mod.
Compatibility with Pick Up and Haul
If Pick Up and Haul is active, this mod allows it to handle the hauling actions while still determining which items should be prioritized first.
Performance Improvements
- Caching system: Lists of haulable items are cached and refreshed periodically to improve performance.
Debug Mode
A debug mode can be enabled in the mod settings. When active, right-clicking a haulable item provides feedback explaining why it was or was not prioritized for hauling.
Compatibility notes
- This update adds compatibility with Pick Up and Haul.
- Pawn work priorities still determine when hauling jobs are performed.
