Q: Why Replace Stuff Incompatible?
A: Because it causes job errors on the xenos and potentially regular pawns at this time, efforts are ongoing to fix it by both me and the current curator for the Replace Stuff Mod. You can play with it but I won't fix bugs reported with it til I'm sure I finished patching this stuff.
Q: Why won't the aliens feed prisoners?!
A: Check to make sure they are standing upright, there is a bug where they don't stand up to start some jobs.
