Nevermind! Turns out the research project I was attempting was bugged. I will be using devmode to complete it now, since I spent about 2 in-game days fiddling with my pawn, so she should have completed it in that time.

Do you think that this mod would be safe to remove mid-save?
I think it's causing my pawns to not be able to do research. Thanks!

Tears of pure joy rn . Thank you 😩❤️🙌🏽

Bad North player spotted, what the hell is a bad game (I love that game)

Hi @Kat, hope you're doing good. I noticed you had uploaded a few mods in a similar vain to this (right clicking to force a task). Would it be possible to make a similar mod for allowing you to force a pawn to eat from nutrient paste dispensers? Ie: select pawn -> right click dispenser -> context menu with option to force "eat paste". Similar to how you can right click a meal to have context menu options of "haul / merge / eat".

It's such a small thing, but it drives me mad, and I don't have the programming knowledge to do that kind of thing myself.

@meeatbaag

Try the Achtung mod or, do manual prioritize and set it to 1.
It's more of the game's issue, not the mod.

Thank you!!!!

@Operator common sense shouldnt be an issue with this mod. Try out only my mod and see if the issue persists and then add mods until it reappears

this mod makes my pawns just stand still not do anything when they have a task. i do have common sense mod. could that be a conflict?

I restored the mod to an older version now. It should not break everything. To completely force the pawn to research forever use a mod like Achtung!

hey @jadabandon i have noticed the same issue and im trying to fix it. However currently i need to deal with my mental health so development might pause for a while. If i get it fixed ill update the mod tho

@xaniel I have not encountered those issues with this mod, I personally keep activating it and deactivating this mod because I keep having issues where pawns stall out doing research and several research tables just end up not being used while my researchers just wander around, even after setting task priorities and what not, but upvote it regardless as this mod does seem to fix the pawns from time to time, its not perfect, but it does seem to help.

Behaves poorly. The pawn will get stuck in their chair until you make them move after drafting them in some circumstances. The text for prioritizing research says "Prioritize do research" and its absurdly distracting. I don't recommend it.

Pawns will research rimatomics for about an hour and then ditch it, just fyi

@Kat just posted it, hope it helps :)

@Starempire42 please post your log in Bugs & Suggestions

I can't force my colonists to research I get an error every time I try to right click

I miss forcing research forever

Oho, didn't notice it got updated - lemme try it tomorrow and see if the bug is gone.

I don't think it has anything to do with underground layers, I landed my gravship on the planet and forced research - only to have the cancel button not working on me (the pawn stopped momentarily but went back to researching). Same when I order her to eat, she picked up the simple meal and dropped it to do research.

Hello. Since a lot of you have been complaining, i have restored the mod to a previous version. Before the implemented patch :)

Hello, I have noticed that this mod may have a conflict with the "Ancient Urban Ruins" mod: The specific issue is that when conducting forced research in the underground layer created by the "Ancient Urban Ruins" mod, the cancel button will not function (I used machine translation and may not have expressed myself accurately. If this has offended you, it was not my intention).

It ain't the cancel button not working, they straight up don't cancel it period.

@Maxhd4321 I think what happened is that my save was having a lot of errors so it stopped working because when I started another colony it was working fine.

@jogado21 Ok. In which way does it not work? What does it do if you press it?

:/

same problem cancel button does not work

Make sure you dont have any mod conflicts

this doesn't work for me anymore, I updated the mod but cancel button does not work either

Working now, thank you!

Yeah this is related to the latest patch. I just pushed an update. See if it fixes it for you :)

Hi @Maxhd4321, I assume this is related to the latest patch - now I see 3-and-a-bit columns of "Prioritise research" when I right-click the bench.

I published a fix for that issue rn. The pawn will research forever now until you tell him to stop by prioritizing something else or pressing "Clear Prioritized Work"

i'm having the same problem, but i dont see the Clear Prioritized Work button

@angelodias press the big red button which says "Clear Prioritized Work"

I noticed the same issue as angelodias, forcing research is a death sentence.

My pawn never stops researching. He's there for hours, starving, and when I force him to eat... he doesnt. When I draft him... he continues researching.

Thank you for that information @Errors

stops researching after a minute

Pawn just gives up after maybe a minute irl time of researching. Is this mod designed to continue researching until otherwise ordered, or am I having a mod conflict?

I think you could change F****** to fork for easier searching

This is in the vanilla game now again..

u cant just give your colonists A FRIGGIN RESEARCH BENCH YO THERES COLONISTS THAT DONT RESEARCH LIKE THAT THEY NEED TO RIGHT CLICK

OMG YES

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOD SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME!!!!!

I've been waiting for this

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS MOD!!!!!!!

My guy would rather play horse shoe toss for a month straight than do any research

happens, lol

Oh thats probably the source files and the .git folder which shouldnt be included....

good question. +1
