People feedback
"This mod has saved me a ton of aggravation when it comes to saving my animals during raids. I have an unrestricted (auto) policy during non-raids. When there's a raid I have another policy called "hide" and they go indoors. If it's an infestation I use another policy where my animals rally in a canyon and eat grass while I kill the bugs" by asquirrel

"My God, I do hate to have to restrict every single animal and pawn individually.. This is the answer to my prayers!" by FreyaMaluk

"Thanks for this, just alt-tabbed out of my game in exasperation to look for a mod that would do this - a heat wave hit for the second time in just a few days and I have to tell 25 guys to go put on dusters instead of standing outside in their jackets till they go insane" by sapling

I don't know. It would be great if you could test and check
Arisen Opportunity 21 Mar @ 7:11am 
@Odeyalko Been having the same issue. Some pawns just can't have their work priorities changed at all. They're not the default-- i WAS able to change them at some point in time-- but now any changes made are immediately reverted when I close the work tab. Only solution was removing this mod. Also using Work Tab 1.5 & [FSF] Complex Jobs

Anyway I can help in fixing it? I'm unsure of what would be causing it to throw the specific error.

I am playing with Complex Jobs, Do you think that would be causing it?
VouLT  [author] 20 Mar @ 1:42pm 
@Chat, I assume it is a mod conflict. Without a way for me to reproduce, I can't fix this.,
(Giga Chad) John-Vick 20 Mar @ 3:01am 
Forgot to say, It won't work at all. Schedule will not change, and emergency mode will not change schedules either.

Added BPC to an existing save.

upon trying to change "schedule" tab this error pops up.

Tried re-ordering the mod, didn't work.

Tried unsubbing and resubbing, Didn't work.

all DLC installed and enabled.

[quote=Hoi-Yant;598519066984979329][quote=VouLT;598519066984975923]Guys. I'm not able to reproduce the issue. I believe it is something which only happens to existing saves. This means that if you reset the BPC mod, it should become fine.

Reset BPC means:
1/ Disable or remove the mod from your save and then save the game
2/ Load the mod back again and save again

You'll lose all your policies after this procedure. If it happens again after his I need to know how to reproduce the issue. [/quote]

This worked for me! Thank you for the support here. I'll try to provide reproduction steps if it ever happens again. :D [/quote]

This fixed my issue I posted below, if anyone else has the problem :)

I already owned Royalty and Biotech, and just bought Ideology. I had to reload my modlist and update to 1.5. I started a fresh save using my fresh mod list, and ideology. I believe I added this halfway through my save and it had this bug.

Following the above fixed my issue^
Odeyalko 18 Mar @ 4:14am 
Love this mod, but unfortunatly cannot use it because it conflicts with Work Tab 1,5 Temp mod and keeps resetting all my work prioriorities completely. :steamsad:
Data Slave 17 Mar @ 4:46pm 
First, great mod. I have been using this for years and never had an issue before, and recently have done my first run in a long time. I had to reconfigure my modlist and everything.

Now, I am missing have the ability to assign policies to the emergency toggle. I have changed my resolution and UI sizing options, but no luck.
Shouravik 17 Mar @ 11:10am 
So I am totally missing my two buttons on the assign tab, and I have no idea why that is. I cannot adjust or edit these menus, and the menu just shows up as blank.
