Have you ever felt like the Home Area has too many responsibilities tied to it?
Maybe you want to protect your crops from fire, but don’t want to be forced to clean that whole area too. Or perhaps you need to repair a geothermal generator out in the wild, only to find that thrumbos and other fence-ignoring animals have decided to wander right through it…
If you’ve ever wished you could keep just one of the functions of the Home Area — now you (mostly) can!
This mod adds independent Firefight and Repair zones, so your colonists will only put out fires and repair structures inside those designated areas. Cleaning and auto-rebuilding still rely on the original Home Area.
