Faction Manager v1.6

Notice about updating existing Rimworld v1.5 saves to v1.6
Any colonies on a 1.5 save need to be loaded into the game in 1.5 first before migrating to 1.6. Any colonies unloaded in 1.5 will not function in 1.6.

Description:

The Faction Manager mod updated to Rimworld 1.6, with the in-game bottom menu bar entry made an icon, to prevent crowding in the menu.

Allows you to unload a colony (or optional: a SetupCamp camp), to load it back in whenever you want or need it.

Includes the old companion addon for SetupCamp, updated from 1.2.

Needed to be given a new ID for the new workshop listing, so might list as a new mod when loading your existing saves.

Updated for Rimworld 1.6 and Biotech. Not tested on Anomaly as I don't own that DLC.

Now including pawn-aging and the ability for pawns to remember eachother when unloaded.

You have to many colonies and its getting harder day by day to manage all of them? Have you ever wanted to build a strong faction and to control large amounts of land like normal factions do but you could not manage more than some colonies at a time? Then this mod is for you.
This mod lets you unload("freeze") any colony so you can focus on your other colonies. Need something from that colony? No problem, load it again and play like nothing happened.
This mod is great if you have a lot of colonists and want to some of them to found a new colony, to be able to devote your full attention to that colony you can unload your other colonies and play on the new one, need help with some raid or with resources during a toxic fallout? Just load the maps you previously unloaded and send help. This way you can build a real faction.
Last but not least, want to have a prison colony where you can butcher other people, harvest their organs, make hats and your other colonies to not get the debuff, then this mod is really for you. Just unload all colonies but this one and torture shall begin, when you are done you can load other colonies again and continue your work.

Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with existing saves, it does not require you to start a new game.

Mod compatiblity:
- Includes support for SetUpCamp (untested for 1.5+). This time without downloading a seperate mod for support, but simply having it loaded after SetUpCamp. Will not load this support if SetUpCamp isn't present.
