Instant Caravan

What does this mod do?

This mod makes caravan formation occur instantly after selecting gear and pawns, but only if there are no hostile pawns on the tile that are discovered. It will mimic the dev mode function “form caravan instantly”. This mod came about as a thought I had walking down the street, thinking about what would encourage players more to explore the map. I see no purpose for the caravan formation process being as slow and painful as it is if there is no immediate danger.

Balance?

Should be fine, unless you have some sort of foreknowledge of incoming raids that you can instantly dodge. I tried to consider as many angles as I could, and I just didn't see anything too glaring enough to stop the idea in its tracks.

Mod Interaction Notes

• Vehicle Framework - If I remember correctly the form caravan system for VF is unfinished apparently and will be merged with the main caravanning option at some point, for now this mod doesn't touch vehicles which I am personally fine with.

• Giddy Up 2 - Works perfectly fine after a test.

Mid-save?

Should be fine.

Credits

The harmony stuff was commissioned from Taranchuk, bless his soul. I'm in the process of learning it myself and wanted a good jumping off point.

Compatibility

Should have no problems if you're using anything in my Fernworld modpack. I'm assuming most stuff is fine regardless. If it works fine with the dev mode "send instantly" system, then it should work perfectly here.
