# 6.2.0.0

- Add separate toggle for mending Mechanoids

Also I was aware that was a thing I simply forgor

I was not aware that that was a thing

Could we get a toggle in the settings for casting Mend on damaged friendly mechs? Neat that it seems to work, but it is much slower/less efficient than just repairing the mechs by hand.

My Mechanitor is also the pawn autocasting Mend, not sure if that's a relevant detail to the interaction.

I'll need to see the actual warning for that :⁾

hi sry, getting "Getting next unique ID during saving" warning when saving

UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace () Verse.Log:Warning (string) RimWorld.UniqueIDsManager:GetNextID (int&) RimWorld.UniqueIDsManager:GetNextAreaID () Verse.Area:.ctor (Verse.AreaManager) BetterAutocastVPE.Area_Runecircle:.ctor (Verse.AreaManager) BetterAutocastVPE.Patches.AddMissingAreas:Postfix

Either way it's fixed now

yea lmao

I guess that tells you how often people have used that function before.

Oh heck, Windows doesn't allow : in filenames, my bad :(

I'm getting this error when trying to uninstall the mod via the mod settings.

Ok, thanks for a great mod!

Man I wish I had another wave of inspiration for programming but atm I'm burned out lel
PRs appreciated

Would it be possible to add Word of Inspiration to the list of supported psycasts?

@BLKCandy same, actually found this mod because I said screw it and started looking for them

Yeah, it has 2 lines that appear, with the second one being exactly what you described, and the first one trying to use the equipped weapon on the target.

@Nikolaier Could you turn on debug logging in this mod's settings, reproduce the error, then check if the log says something like `Pawn_TryGetAttackVerb_Postfix for Pawn Name set verb to Ice Crystal`?

I noticed an issue when using this mod together with Misc Training. Pawns set to autocast solar pinhole or ice crystal will use those when trying to use shooting targets, in the later case even destroying the target by replacing it with the crystal.

No clue how much effort this would take to fix, or if its even possible on your end, so I wont blame you if its just gonna stay an issue.

nevermind, i found the toggle for it disabled in the mod settings.

my casters don't seem to be autocasting solar pinhole at all with the designations set. am i the only one?

:)

Auto enchant quality? auto mend? Damn, I have been wishing for these for ages. I had just discovered this mod.

Fixed Darkvision and also area stuff

I cannot replicate that behavior, do you have any other mods running?

Pawns set to autocast solar pinhole won't do it during scheduled work time. I can only get them to do it if I set their schedule to Anything

ohh, I can check

From what I can tell, psycasts that already autocast in Vanilla Psycast expanded don't use the interval option from the mod, can you please allow it?

And I do not understand the second question ^^;

Game at 1x speed runs at 60 ticks per second

Hello, I just have a question. How many ticks are a second for autocasting? Also can you apply the autocast interval option to ALL psycasts for VPE?

You can upload it to something like pastebin and just share the link here :)
I'll check it out

Do you have VEF installed?

Had not even considered that, will fix later

Pawns seem to ignore the Odyssey outfit stands with "mend" in the name for the technomancer mend autocast.

Thank you <3

That sounds complicated but I'll try to remember doing it eventually

Oh nice it updated, thanks dude.


Can you also add skip from VPE into autocasting? But it target the caster and lets the pawn teleport closer to whatever they're walking towards? Like blink from rimworld of magic?

good！

Thanks Toby. xoxo

Done

Aye that'd to it. Update soon

Lel, is there even any issue yet?

That's the plan yea :p

Its hard to go without this mod, hope you update to 1.6!

I should learn to read, my apologies
