USE Set Apparel Draw Order
USE – Set Apparel Draw Order (v1.6)
[i]Fine-tune how apparel is drawn and tweak per-node visuals, so your pawns look exactly the way you want.[/i]
What this mod does
[list]
[]Lets you reorder apparel drawing for displays and stands, fixing clipping and layering issues. []Adds a powerful per-pawn [b]Render[/b] tab to adjust the pawn’s render tree (offsets, scale, layer, flip, etc.). []Non-destructive: visuals only—no stat changes. []Save-friendly and light on performance.
[/list]
Where to use it (v1.6 UI)
[b]In v1.6, the controls live in two different places:[/b]
[list]
[][b]Pawn[/b] → Inspect pane → [b][Render][/b] tab (render-tree editing) [][b]Outfit Stand[/b] → Inspect pane → [b][App][/b] tab (drag-to-reorder apparel)
[/list]
Pawn: Render-tree editing ([Render] tab)
Open any pawn’s Inspect pane and click [b][Render][/b]. You’ll see a [i]Render Tree[/i] view and detailed controls.
[list]
[][b]Select a node[/b] in the Render Tree to edit it. []Use the right-side controls: [list]
[][b]Enabled[/b] — toggle your override on/off for the selected node. [][b]Offset[/b] — adjust [b]X / Y / Z[/b] positional offsets. [][b]Layer[/b] — add a layer offset (draw later = appears on top). [][b]Pivot[/b] — set pivot [b]X% / Y%[/b]. [][b]Angle[/b] — rotate the node (°). [][b]Scale[/b] — scale the node (%). [][b]Flip[/b] — flip the node display. [][b]Alpha[/b] — change transparency for previewing. [][b]Show all nodes[/b] — reveal hidden nodes for inspection.
[/list]
[]Actions: [list]
[][b]Save Node[/b] — save overrides for the current node. [][b]Reset Node[/b] — revert the current node to defaults.
[*] [b]Reset All[/b] — clear every override on this pawn.
[/list]
[/list]
[b]Tips[/b]
• Hold [b]Shift + Mouse Wheel[/b] for fine adjustments on sliders.
• Press [b]Ctrl + R[/b] to restore slider ranges to their defaults.
• “Value Range” shown on the tab reflects limits you can tune in Mod Settings.
Outfit Stand: Apparel order ([App] tab)
Interact with an Outfit Stand and open the [b][App][/b] tab.
[list]
[][b]Drag items[/b] up/down to change draw priority. Items higher in the list are drawn later (on top). []Click [b]Auto Order[/b] to auto-sort if you want a quick baseline.
[*] Changes apply immediately; the stand’s graphics are recached on the fly.
[/list]
Advanced: numeric order on the Stand’s [Contents]
On the Outfit Stand’s default [b][Contents][/b] tab, each apparel also shows a numeric [b]Draw Order[/b] field. Enter a value to nudge relative draw depth precisely (useful for tricky pieces). This works alongside the [App] tab’s drag-and-drop.
Mod Settings
Open [b]Mod Settings → USE Set Apparel Draw Order[/b].
[list]
[][b]Functional on every pawn?[/b] — enable functionality beyond colonists. [][b]Disable head apparel when in bed[/b] — prevents headgear from rendering while lying in bed to reduce clipping. [][b]Enable Free mode[/b] — unlocks broader editing freedom in the Render tab. [][b]DrawOffsetDivider[/b] — scaling divider used when converting order/offset into final draw depth.
[*] [b]Slider ranges[/b] — customize allowed min/max for Offset (X/Y/Z), Layer, Angle, and Scale. ([i]These define the “Value Range” shown in the [Render] tab.[/i])
[/list]
Compatibility
[list]
[]Works with vanilla and most modded apparel. Mods that completely replace render logic or use custom shaders may ignore some overrides. []Safe to add to existing saves. Removing the mod reverts visuals to the game’s default order.
