FAQs
Q: How do I enter settlements/How do I exit settlements?
A: Buttons!

Compatibility notes
This mod is compatible with most other mods, including custom factions. Some mods (like RimCities) use a different gizmo for entering a map. The gizmo this mod adds will not overwrite it. It might still show up in the available gizmos, however, it won’t cause any issues.
Save-compatibility
As with any mod there is a risk, however, it should be safe to add mid-save. It is inadvisable to remove mid-save, but if you really need to, make sure you’re not in a settlement.
Note: If you’re getting errors on map load and if you were in a settlement before the migration update and didn’t have a chance to migrate, use this migration build.
Known issues
- When using this with Vehicle Framework, entering a settlement in a helicopter or similar vehicle, reforming, and trying to launch the caravan with animals will cause the caravan to split and leave any animals behind.
- Entering a settlement has a chance of spawning you in a cave formation, so be aware of that when entering with aerial vehicles.
Additional info on the 1.4 version
Version for 1.4 (downgraded) by Kipty. About this version:
I couldn’t get the defogging function working in my 1.4 game. Rather than failing settlement generation because of that, I made it so it’ll still try defogging, but go ahead with a warning if it can’t. I recommend using the dev mode debug action “Clear all fog”.
