Automatic weapon equipping
Designed to feel like vanilla. No new tabs, no complex menus, just colonists that pick up weapons on their own. Respects skills, traits, royalty/ideology/xenotype restrictions, forced choices and upgrades sensibly. Brawlers get melee, shooters grab guns, and nobody trades an assault rifle for a wood log. Hope you enjoy.

FAQ
Q: How can I make my pawns only equip X sidearms?
A: Set limits in your Simple Sidearms settings. Auto Arm reads directly from them.
Q: Can this mod be added to an existing save?
A: Yes. You can add it mid save, just review your Apparel Policies.
Q: Can it be removed from a save?
A: No. That is never safe for any mod. Disable it in the settings.
Q: Can I keep my own loadouts?
A: Yes. Right click equip any weapon you want to freeze. It stays locked until you drop or lose it.
Q: Known limitations?
A: Exotic weapons with modded stats or traits may sometimes need a forced equip or a policy tweak. If you hit a bad swap, please report it.
Q: What languages are supported?
A: English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Russian.
Bugs, balance, suggestions? Tell me below or create a discussion.
No formula is perfect for every playstyle, but this aims to work well for most situations.
If something looks off, please leave a comment with a few steps and a log. “This colonist kept a spear over my rifle” is much easier to fix with a error log or a list of active mods.
Performance
Built for long saves and large colonies. With 10-20 colonists the cost is a tiny fraction of a tick, and when no upgrades are pending the overhead is near zero. The mod includes an Analyzer.xml for Dubs Performance Analyzer that isolates it, showing every bit of cost it has.
I recommend RimSort[github.com] to manage your load order.
