mlieThe Proximity Mod is a modding tool that lets modders manipulate pawn stats and add hediff effects when pawns are near specific buildings or terrain. It does not add content by itself, but provides functionality for other mods to use.
Proximity Mod Features
The Proximity Mod allows modders to create proximity-based effects linked to buildings or terrain.
- Stat manipulation: Pawns can have stats changed when they are within range of configured buildings or terrain.
- Hediff effects: Pawns can receive hediff effects based on proximity conditions.
- Building and terrain support: The functionality can be set up for custom buildings or custom terrain.
- Guidance notes: A detailed PDF is available with setup instructions for modders.
- Performance optimizations: Performance improvements were added by Taranchuk.
Development status
Ashnal, another mod developer, has started adopting the functionality from the Proximity Mod and intends to extend it further. This may eventually appear as a new mod or as a library resource for other modders to use.
Compatibility notes
The Proximity Mod should be used as a required dependency by any mod that needs its functionality. Do not copy the assembly directly into other mod folders, as duplicate versions of the Proximity Mod may cause hash errors.
It is not recommended to use the Proximity Mod to add effects to vanilla items, because another modder could apply different definitions to the same item and create conflicts. The recommended use is with custom buildings or custom terrain made for a specific mod.
When troubleshooting the Proximity Mod:
- See if the error persists if you just have this mod and its requirements active.
- If not, try adding your other mods until it happens again.
- Always post your log using the Log Uploader.
- For best support, please use the Discord-channel for error-reporting.
- Do not report errors by making a discussion-thread, I get no notification of that.
- If you have the solution for a problem, please post it to the GitHub repository.
- Use RimSort to sort your mods.
