Chronos Pointer - Schedule Menu Enhancement

Description

Requires Harmony.

ChronosPointer provides an intuitive and visually appealing way to track time in RimWorld, making it easier to manage colonists' schedules and activities throughout the day and night cycle.

All features can be toggled and customized in the mod settings, allowing you to tailor the experience to your liking.

Safe to add to existing save!

Older RimWorld Versions

For RimWorld 0.13–1.2 support, use Chronos Pointer Legacy.

Features:

• Hours Bar: A bar above the hour numbers in the schedule window, visually representing day and night cycles.

• Dynamic Arrow: Moves in real-time, precisely indicating the current hour and minute.

• Hours Bar Time Indicator: A small line at the arrow’s tip, spanning the height of the Hours Bar, tracing the passage of time.

• Full-Height Time Indicator: A vertical line spanning all pawns' schedules, moving in sync with the arrow to show the current time for all colonists at once.

• Customizable Colors: Adjust colors for the arrow, highlight, cursors, bars, and almost everything else to suit your preference.

• Incident Interactions: The Hours Bar updates its color based on the map state for current events such as Solar Flares, Eclipses, and Auroras.

Compatibility

Should be compatible with most mods that fiddle with the Schedule Menu, unless features are added to the top (like Custom Schedules). The buttons will still work, but there will be UI overlap.

DLC:

• ✅ Royalty

• ✅ Ideology

• ✅ Biotech

• ✅ Anomaly

• ✅ Odyssey

Mods:

• ✅ Schedule Everything

• ✅ Reading Schedule

• ✅ Zone To Schedule

• ✅ Pwnyta's Defaults

• ⚠️ Schedule Clock - Not recommended, but you can disable ChronosPointer's Main Cursor to avoid overlap.

• ⚠️ Grouped Pawns List - Disable "Restrict" in mod settings. (Options -> Mod options -> Grouped Pawns Lists -> Tables -> Restrict)

• ⚠️ Custom Schedules - UI Overlap; buttons still work.

Integration

Chronos Pointer includes a public API that allows other mods to invoke and position its time indicators within their own interfaces.

This system was developed primarily to support integration with the upcoming Better Work Tab 2.0 release, and is also available to other mod authors.
