Close Settlements

An update of Bar0th's Mod: Close Settlements

🏕️ Close Settlements

Control settlement placement, proximity penalties, and gravship behavior.

This mod lets you bypass RimWorld’s default limitations on how close you can settle to other factions — including support for Odyssey'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

• ✅ Allow Adjacent Settlements
  Settle tiles next to existing settlements, useful for dense colonies or faction roleplay.

• 🕊️ Suppress Proximity Goodwill Penalties (on settle)
  Prevents the typical goodwill loss for settling near another faction.

• **🕰️ Suppress Ongoing Penalty **
  Disables the default goodwill penalty that occurs after settling too close.

• 🚀 Gravship Landing Exception (Odyssey)
  Prevents any popup or goodwill loss when using gravship landings but will still show orbital or pollution popups (if Odyssey is installed and active).

• 🛠️ Harmony-Powered Patching
  Highly targeted and version-safe. Logic only executes when needed.

• 🧪 Dev Tool: Advance Time by 15 Days
  Useful for mod authors or testers. Adds a debug action in dev mode to simulate long-term penalties.

📋 Compatibility

• Compatible with RimWorld 1.6

• Fully supports Odyssey gravship mechanics

• Should work with most world map and diplomacy mods

🛠️ Settings Explained

• Allow Adjacent Settlements — Disables the tile-distance restriction when settling.

• Suppress Proximity Goodwill (on settle) — Skips the minor -5 penalty for close settlements.

• Suppress Proximity Goodwill (after 15 days) — Prevents the hidden timer that deducts -30 after settling too close.

• Suppress Gravship Proximity Penalty — Only suppresses goodwill loss when using gravships. Automatically hidden if Odyssey is not loaded.

🔍 Debug & Testing

If developer mode is enabled, a new debug action is added: “Advance 15 Days (for proximity test)”. Use this to simulate and test long-term proximity penalties.
