Tired of your Sanguophages turning into useless, extremely weak pawns mid-raid because they “forgot” their deathrest casket? This mod fixes that.
Auto Deathrest makes any pawn with the Deathrest need automatically walk to their assigned casket when the need drops below a threshold you choose. No babysitting. No micromanagement. No dead vampires on your kitchen floor.
- Every few seconds, the mod checks all colonists with the Deathrest need.
- If a pawn's need falls below your configured threshold (default: 25%), they will automatically seek their assigned casket.
- If no casket is personally assigned, the mod can optionally fall back to any available one.
- Everything is configurable from Options → Mod Settings → Auto Deathrest.

- RimWorld 1.6

- Harmony — required by virtually every C# mod
Mods

No vanilla defs are overwritten. Changes are made via Harmony patches and XML PatchOperations only.
Q: Will this affect performance?
A: No. The check runs every ~8 seconds and only on pawns that actually have the Deathrest need.
Q: My vampire isn't going to their casket!
A: Make sure the casket has the pawn assigned to it — click the casket, go to the Assign tab, and select your pawn. Alternatively, turn off "Only assigned casket" in settings.
Q: Does it work with custom Sanguophage genes from other mods?
A: Yes, as long as those pawns use the vanilla Need_Deathrest class.
Q: Can I set different thresholds for different pawns?
A: Not yet — it's a global setting for now. If there's demand I'll add per-pawn config.
Q: I want more features!
A: Drop a comment. I read them all. No promises, but I do listen. 🙂
- First, check if the issue happens with only this mod + Harmony + Biotech active.

This mod is free and always will be. Modding is a hobby, I make these for fun.
That said, if it saved your vampire colony and you feel like buying me a coffee:

No pressure. A kind comment or a thumbs up goes just as far.
