Pause other settlements simulation

Description
Description

A simple mod that pauses simulation for settlements you are not currently viewing.

This mod helps you focus on your active settlement without worrying about what's happening elsewhere, providing a smoother experience, especially when managing multiple colonies.


The Orbit/Special Maps section will not apply immediately to ongoing save files.





Features

Settlement Simulation Control: A new main tab has been added, allowing you to view a list of all your settlements and individually set whether each one's simulation should be paused.

Pause pocket maps when away: If checked, anomaly layers will be automatically paused when you are not viewing their parent settlement.



You can toggle the following settings in the mod options:

  • Fine-grained Simulation Control: The mod settings menu provides detailed options to precisely control what gets paused.

  • Global Pause Toggle: Easily toggle the mod's overall functionality on and off.

  • Pause new settlements by default: Automatically decides whether new settlements should be paused.

  • Pause new anomaly layers by default: For users with the Anomaly DLC, this automatically decides whether new anomaly layers should be paused. (This is disabled by default.)

  • Pause Ongoing Jobs: Determines whether pawns in a paused settlement should halt their current tasks.

  • Pause Health simulation: Controls whether health-related processes like disease, immunity, and healing are paused in a paused settlement.

  • Pause Events & Weather: Controls whether weather and map-related events (e.g., raids) are paused in a paused settlement.

  • Pause Mental State: Controls whether mental breaks, inspirations, and other mood-related events for pawns in a paused settlement are paused.

  • Pause Aging: Controls whether the aging of pawns in a paused settlement is paused.

would be super cool to have an option to play multiple colonies one by one in the same arrow of time, so to speak. like, you're playing for a whole season – summer, let's say. once the season is over, when the option is enabled, you're forced to play another colony: same summer that just have ended. a bit complicated, but… it would be a gamechanger feature. I guess, it would need to save some key events: faction relations and their bases. Something like «meanwhile in the other colony».

sorry for the spam but also some pawns are controllable and simulated on paused settlements which can be easily exploited

happens when i untick and tick the current settlement

current settlement gets stuck paused often, only simulates if i disable pausing on that settlement but it was supposed to be automatic

Would it be possible to add camps on the pause menu ? Would love to create multiple camps spread around but keep them paused. Because of the 5 colonies limit. This mod is amazing, finally let me play rimworld the way I want as an open world with differnt living locations ( that I built) I can visit :D

Does this mod make another colony paused no longer consume performance?

How big of a performance impact does the mod have?

Does this work for pausing your main settlement if you are away in a grav ship?

Yes, it's safe. The orbital map won't be applied immediately, but it will be applied after you move.

Is this safe to add/remove?
