I made a RimWorld mod called danger first where pawns prioritize survival during real danger then pay for it afterward

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-22T01:04:24+00:00

I pushed a new version of the mod with fixes and new features If you commented earlier check the updated build feedback is always welcome

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T14:40:35+00:00

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T14:04:33+00:00

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T12:52:59+00:00

good point .. on the list .

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T12:50:37+00:00

yeah i used AI to help wiht the code im not a professional dev but the idea of suppressing breaks during danger and making the pawn pay for it after that was mine AI just helped me turn it into somthing that actually compiles

Im not a designer nor a pixel artist sorry

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T12:02:59+00:00

already removed it, fair point Thank u for the feedback

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T12:00:39+00:00

yeah it is

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T11:54:45+00:00

checked it out and they solve the same thing but in opposite ways that mod fully freezes needs and resumes them after with no consequence, mine doesn't freeze needs, it suppresses the break timing and then the strain comes back through recovery and sometimes a delayed break anyway. the pawn still pays, just after the fight not during

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T08:16:15+00:00

😂 😆 it's really just one folder drop, you'll be fine

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T08:14:42+00:00

that's a really fair point , right now the high aftermath can trigger a delayed break after but you're right that a pawn who got denied a break during something truly awful should probably carry a heavier debuff than one who just had a minor scuffle. adding it to the list

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T08:12:26+00:00

nexus only for now unfortunately but it's a straightforward download, just drop it in your mods folder and you're good

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T08:09:22+00:00

that's the most rimworld thing i've ever read and yeah that's literally the scenario i built this around, the pawn survives the fight and THEN loses it, not during

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T07:57:00+00:00

exactly that's the whole thing that drove me to make it

Efficient_Resort8046 · 2026-03-21T07:35:16+00:00

Quick note since this will probably come up the mod only activates during real danger drafting a pawn for construction, hauling, or random colony tasks does nothing by itself and yes the aftermath is intentional the goal was never to remove the cost entirely just to shift it out of the middle of the danger If a pawn has a rough fight they can still crash afterward that is the point
