First release of a bigger idea. I’ll keep polishing and adding options this week. Feedback helps a ton—thank you!
I just released the second part of this big idea please check my newest mod! [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3559098676&tscn=1756600153]Mood and Mental Breaks Realistic Overhaul[/url]
Quick Summary
[list]
[*] [b]Danger Sense:[/b] Builds when trouble is nearby and [b]blocks mental breaks[/b]. Also nudges pawns away from sleeping in unsafe spots. Fades when the map is calm.
[*] [b]Engagement Focus:[/b] During a fight, [b]prevents breaks and pass-outs[/b] so your shooter doesn’t drop mid-raid. Eases off right after.
[*] Fully configurable. Lightweight. RimWorld 1.6.
[/list]
What is this?
This mod gives pawns a short burst of “keep it together” when things get scary.
No stat cheese, no perk trees—just level heads until danger passes.
Why you’ll like it
[list]
[*] Your MVP won’t have a tantrum at the worst possible time.
[*] Rescues feel safer—everyone stays focused until your pawn is back up.
[*] Hands-off: it turns on by itself in danger, then cools down.
[*] Stays fair: no extra DPS or accuracy—only break/collapse protection.
[/list]
How it works
[b]Danger Sense[/b]
[list]
[*] Rises with raids, fires, nearby hostiles, injuries, or “needs rescue.”
[*] Blocks new mental breaks and discourages unsafe sleeping.
[*] Decays once things are under control (e.g., rescue done and area safe).
[*] Default scope: [b]your colonists only[/b] (you can change this).
[/list]
[b]Engagement Focus[/b]
[list]
[*] Shows up in real combat (drafted and taking/returning fire).
[*] Prevents breaks and passing out from heat/hunger/exhaustion while fighting.
[*] Wears off soon after the fight ends.
[/list]

Settings
[list]
[*] Toggle Danger Sense and Engagement Focus on/off.
[*] Pick what triggers them (raids, fires, nearby hostiles, getting hit, rescue needed, etc.).
[*] Tune build/decay speed and the “no break / no collapse” thresholds.
[*] Scope: keep it to player humanlikes (default) or expand if you want.
[*] Optional debug tips for fine-tuning.
[/list]
Compatibility & Performance
[list]
[*] RimWorld 1.6. [b]Requires Harmony[/b]. (HugsLib recommended for settings.)
[*] Plays nice with most combat/storyteller mods.
[*] Safe to add mid-save. (Avoid removing mid-save while effects are active.)
[/list]
FAQ
[b]Does this buff combat stats?[/b] No—aim, damage, and cooldowns are untouched. It only stops breaks/collapses during danger.
[b]Will it cause weird rescue/sleep loops?[/b] No—it backs off after a successful rescue and tries to avoid silly wake/sleep behavior.
[b]Does it affect enemies or animals?[/b] Not by default. You can change that in settings.
[b]Found a bug?[/b] Please post it in [b]Bug Reports[/b] with steps or a log if you can. Thanks!
Special thanks
