An update of Bar0th's Mod:
[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2011834152] Close Settlements [/url]
🏕️ Close Settlements
[b]Control settlement placement, proximity penalties, and gravship behavior.[/b]
This mod lets you bypass RimWorld’s default limitations on how close you can settle to other factions — including support for [i]Odyssey[/i]'s gravship landing system. Optional settings let you suppress proximity goodwill penalties (both instant and long-term) while keeping the world tidy and faction diplomacy under your control.
⚙️ Features
[list]
[*] [b]✅ Allow Adjacent Settlements[/b]
Settle tiles next to existing settlements, useful for dense colonies or faction roleplay.
[*] [b]🕊️ Suppress Proximity Goodwill Penalties (on settle)[/b]
Prevents the typical goodwill loss for settling near another faction.
[*] [b]🕰️ Suppress Ongoing Penalty [/b]
Disables the default goodwill penalty that occurs after settling too close.
[*] [b]🚀 Gravship Landing Exception (Odyssey)[/b]
Prevents [i]any[/i] popup or goodwill loss when using gravship landings but will still show orbital or pollution popups (if [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3080728993]Odyssey[/url] is installed and active).
[*] [b]🛠️ Harmony-Powered Patching[/b]
Highly targeted and version-safe. Logic only executes when needed.
[*] [b]🧪 Dev Tool: Advance Time by 15 Days[/b]
Useful for mod authors or testers. Adds a debug action in dev mode to simulate long-term penalties.
