More Biotech Letters

Description
Add more letters to help better manage Biotech events. The new letters are:
  • Send a letter when someone's genes have finished regrowing.
  • Send a letter when a colonist or prisoner reaches romanceable age (16 biological age, hard-coded for now).
  • Send a letter when someone's genes extracted by using the Gene Extractor. I don't know how to include the extracted genes info in the letter (using Harmony). Helps and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
  • Send a letter when a mech gestation completed. This is a blank letter. It does not contains any info about the mech, nor it can point to the location. I don't know how to. Helps and pointers would be greatly appreciated! In the mean time, I suggest you use this mod to send letter/pause the game and use the top left corner message to locate the new mech. Thanks Monkey Magic for suggesting this option!
  • Send a letter when a colonist's permit cooldown completed (required Royalty DLC). REQUIRE A NEW GAME. Not a Biotech thing, but who wants to download another mod anyway :D Options to include imprisoned colonists and change check interval. Thanks Schadenfreude for suggesting this option!

It can be safely added mid-game (except permit cooldown letter) and should not conflict with any mods.

Options for each events are:
  • Send letter.
  • Pause the game.

If you like this mod, maybe check out my other one:

In Vanilla I can't recall having seen it.

@Schadenfreude I found that the base game already had built in code to display message (not letter) when permit cooldowns complete. However, I suspect there is a small bug that would prevent such messages to show up. Have you ever seen those messages? Do they appear every time? The message would be "pawn's name "can now freely use "permit name".

Thank you for the addition of this feature!

I updated the mod to include the option suggested by @Schadenfreude. There is an option to send letter and/or pause game upon a colonist's permit cooldown completed. REQUIRE A NEW GAME to work. Also require Royalty DLC. If you don't have Royalty enabled, this option will be safely ignored. Imprisoned colonist can be included/excluded. Default check interval is 600 (every 10 seconds). I know this is not a Biotech thing, but I don't want to create a new mod just for 1 option.

I don't have time to play test. I just used a permit and skipped 45 days to test. Any bug report or feedback is highly appreciated! Have fun!

@Schadenfreude Thanks for your suggestion. I have Royalty but just used Permit once or twice in all of my play time. Maybe it is because the lack of notification? I will look into this.

Love this mod, simple and useful.

Have you considered making something similar for Royalty, when pawns get free uses of Permits?

@Otoya Thank you for reporting the problem! An updated version was uploaded.
