Auto Promote Guards

Requires the FREE Free for Life DLC. This mod adds buttons to the Chief to:

- Automatically promote/rank up ELIGIBLE guards (eligibility based on vanilla Free for Life rules)
- Set ALL guards who have passed Tazer Rollout training to a particular rank (more cheaty)

Guard ranks are a Free for Life feature: you can optionally promote guards who have passed Tazer Rollout training and have been hired for a certain number of days. Only a fraction of guards can be promoted, even if all guards meet all the other requirements. Promotion boosts guard strength and toughness in exchange for higher daily pay. However, the vanilla UI for promoting guards is flaming dog excrement, so this mod turns promotions into one button click.

The mod only checks guards on click, so click Rank Eligible Guards again whenever you have more guards to promote. Pause the game when you click Rank Eligible Guards. Lag may occur on click but should resolve itself. If you have a small prison and named guards you want to promote, promote those guards manually before clicking Rank Eligible Guards.

Guards without Tazer Rollout training will not be ranked, even if you use the ALL Guards rank buttons. If you want guards to have ranks straight away when hired, try the Mix n Match mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2748161314

Compatibility:

- Probably compatible with most guard mods
- May or may not be compatible with mods which add features to guard ranks
- Guard eligibility is based on vanilla Free for Life rules, and can't account for other mods changing guard eligibility
- Not compatible with mods which script Chiefs (sprite mods should be compatible)

All comments welcome. This mod does not alter Chief behaviour when it comes to executions or programs which the Chief teaches. If you encounter any issues, please upload your prison on Steam Workshop and comment below.
