@ dontbebart Changing a single word in the defs file

What would be involved in changing "Outreach" to "Communications?"

v12 - updated to 1.6

v11 - moved MO's loading cart into the category

v10 - added alpha prefabs catalog

Could I ask for compatibility with your category mods for WallStuff ? There are wall mounted versions of the comm console, trade beacon, and some mod buildings (like VTE trading terminal) that would fit in "Outreach."

Additionally, for your Environment Category mod, it has two wall-mounted scanners, and for the Childhood Category mod, it has a wall-mounted blackboard.

v9 - added insectoids 2 thumpers

@The merm Yeah I'm still deciding whether I want to keep it in the hives or move it here

hey there, i think the insectoids 2 thumpers would fit really well in this category

v7 - fixed more potential errors and massive file structure oversight

v6 - Rebuilt entire mod to have less errors, added Medieval Overhaul support

Nopower Comms Simplified please?

Just wanna add my two cents, IMO the ship landing beacons should go into outreach rather than transport, since they're something that is mainly utilised by NPC factions, and they tend to go hand in hand with the comms console and trade beacon.

Ah yeah I don't have the transport category mod n wasn't aware of it, that plan makes sense tho :)

@hmltn Already sorted that in "transport category" but you might be right. I think if you don't have that mod it should sort it there but if you do then it could put it back in transport category. Might get on that soon

What about transport pods? They're more outreach-y than misc-y imo

@Atlantispy Nah I don't think so, stuff like mechband antennas and fire beacons fit the general theme of outreach more than "comms"

Might be a silly comment, but perhaps "Comms Category" works better?

Does Artillery count as Outreach? Because that's how I like to say hello to my neighbors. Just found your workshop and I'm loving it.

good to know that shit isnt actually breaking and if you dont mind i would very much appreciate it

@gordon519 Really doesn't matter, don't worry the mod works fine. But if it eases your mind i'll make it not do that when I find the time.

Its giving a very similar error for all effected utilities

Im getting a bunch of errors with this mod relating to patches failing

v5 - Added built-in architect icons support. Thank you @Kees!

forgot to post a link for micro comms console - https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2951438731

Could you add the Radio from Fortifications - Industrial ?

@漠然—琉璃 Architect icons mod and Rimano architect icons mod

I want to know waht mod you use about the Tab icon

@ᛚᚢᚲᛟᚨᚾ Some guy reported missing items but I think yeah, but maybe if you jumble em up too much then some might get lost? I'm pretty sure it works, give it a go

Are your category mods compatible with Tab-sorting?

Loving these godly organisation mods!

Ferny is making things I didn't know I needed a reality in Rimworld Modding. Much respect.

Nice :D could you possibly add Micro Comms Console to the list?

@HOODINI Harmless.

It's giving me some start up errors that make me think its trying to search for the stuff from these three (Rimnauts, VTE, VFED) Pretty sure they're innocuous but i'll have to get back to that once I start a new playthrough

@Lightcaster Maybe! i'll jot it down

Ooh, I like! Will there be support for Kraltech once it's updated?

Huh, surprised that this isn't a thing, nice mod
