Read the comment below, tried to install this mod and it gave me visual glicthes on x3 speed once half of my map set on fire. It surely has problems and needs to be updated.

This mod still seems to work fine, not sure why we need "continued" versions?

He hasn't been updating on github yet. Someone else is posting pull requests which marks a repo as "updated".

If any of you'd bothered to check his Ko-Fi page (linked at the bottom of the description) you'd know he's still active, just busy IRL and will update the mods soon.

He's not MIA and there is a 100% chance the mods will be updated by him.

Y'all just need to relax.

Been using it for a while now, and haven't seen any errors in the logs related to this, and it does show up in-game like it should.
I would conditionally say that it still works, or at least runs. How stable it is will need a mind better than mine to determine.

Has anyone Checked to see if this mod works with 1.5 , If not i can try but figured I would ask first
Thank you.

just respect here, thx brodie

@Zhadow Glaive: MrUglehFace wasn't asking, they were making a declaration and stating that someone needs to take the mod over or else it would never be updated.

If they had simply been asking they would have received a straightforward answer.

Why so angry? Isn't it reasonable to wonder if a modder is gone? I've just removed about 8 mods from modders that retired. You have to ask to know.

@MashTV <sarcasm>Because he isn't here at our beck and call, ready to update his mods on Day 1.</sarcasm>

He's literally not MIA why does everyone keep saying that

@MrUglehFace - Owlchemist has been active on their Ko-fi and has already stated they will work on their mods as soon as they can ==

@MrUglehFace: Just play the damn game and have some patience for once in your life.

Owlchemist is MIA, there’s a nearly 0% chance this gets updated. Only way it’s happening is if someone else steps in to do it

@Not_A_Furry I tested it, it does not work unfortunately.

Has anyone actually checked if this mod works ok on 1.5?

He don't have to do anything, @Con

"Pay me for shit I haven't done yet" is bold

If you want a 1.5, maybe offering Owl a Ko-Fi would be a good idea. See link in his description

1.5 plz

1.5 pls!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, yes there indeed is an issue with the mod when using the light fire tool:

```
Root level exception in OnGUI(): System.MissingMethodException: bool Verse.AI.ReservationUtility.Reserve(Verse.Pawn,Verse.LocalTargetInfo,Verse.AI.Job,int,int,Verse.ReservationLayerDef,bool)

UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
```

However, as far as I can tell the other aspects of the mod (visuals) work.

so many people asking for 1.5 not one confirming that it doesnt work in 1.5 or even needs an update.

Muh flamez!

1.5?

spaming "1.5" isn't going to make them update the mod any faster

1.5

1.5 plss

1.5?

Can this perform faster now if updated to 1.5 with the threaded rendering system?

makes fire look cooler

Is it compatible with multiplayer? I see the use of random, and it usually needs to be synced in multiplayer.

the temperature is unrelated but yes disable fire watchers point is that it disables the automatic rain event?

Dont activate the: -Disable Fire Watcher
Because, your map will be burning "forever" and the temperature and weather doesnt change.
At least that is what happened in my runthrough.

Your simple mods are on par with vanilla expanded.

Owl you are the best modder Rimworld has, so professional and talented

Thank you for this, great job!

Concur with last comment. Been reading changelogs all my life and it's really sucky when something updates and change notes aren't published for it; be it mod, game, program, anything. If I can't read a changelog, I feel wary on updating.


Modwise though: Sometimes it looks like the flames on speed 2 start running as fast or faster than speed 3. Is there a dynamic framerate the fire uses or is this just a visual glitch?

I just wanna drop a thank you for posting your updates in the Change notes thing. It makes it so much easier to see what was update. A lot of the mods I use, they don't do that sadly. So thank you for taking the time to do that.

Nice to see this getting optimizations, I will have to test it again to see how it is now, I dont know if it was this or the smoke mod but them combined I was getting a performance hit, fingers crossed its better now. Thanks Owl.

v1.3.6
- Slight performance optimizations: I've been revisiting some of my mods to apply knowledge I picked up related to the subtle nuances of how harmony overhead works exactly, as well as how to make better utilization of CPU cache.
- The "multi-flame graphic" variants are now out of sync with one another so they don't share the same exact frame.

disabling drafted fire fighting would be neat as an option i have fire proof pawns fighting fires isntead of hitting enemies would be a nice thing to have

Can confirm that colonists immediately put out a fire as soon as they start it (automatic behavior, even while drafted), regardless of if the fire is created outside the Home area. If you don't pause the game as soon as the fire is started then the first hit of the extinguish animation is usually enough to put it out completely. Could definitely use some kind of small firefighting delay to prevent this behavior because, as-is, it's rather finicky

Other mods add a cooldown to prevent pawns to putting out the fire (firefighting disabled for X seconds), this solution is bad for performance ?

You just back them off once the fires lit

I don't seem to understand how to stop my pawns from instantly putting out the fire they lit regardless of home area or any other factor...

I'm wondering... how much effort would it be for you to do:
Disable Firewatcher setting and a
*Delayed* Firewatch setting.... one that would *significantly* delay it so fires were WILD but not map wiping.

Disable Firewatcher = WOW! That was crazy but totally epic FUN! Love it.

Your mods are awesome thanks for making them
