Path Avoid (1.6 Rebuild)

Ever had a mech cluster or insect hive right smack in the center of your map, and your pawns keep walking right into it, and then having the audacity to complain they got munched??

What it do

Path Avoid lets you "nudge" the pathfinding system for your pawns, making them prefer or avoid different areas. Use it to make pawns follow pathways through your base, or avoid cutting through a freezer to get to the other side. Avoidance doesn't prevent pawns from pathing somewhere - it just makes them favor an alternate route when one is available.

Performance

No noticeable performance impact! Path Avoid uses RimWorld's built-in pathfinding engine. Very complex paths will obviously still cause pawns to search for detours which increases the time rimworld takes to calculate a path, but such is the nature of pathfindings algorithms.

Safe to save

Can be added to an existing save. Can be safely removed from an existing save (designations will simply be dropped).

Compatibility

Should be compatible with pretty much everything, Multiplayer too. Unless you add another mod that messes with pathfinding, specifically mods that replace Verse.PathFinder, PathGridJob, or change PathFinder.CreateRequest. But I'm not aware of any mod that does.

Why though

I didn't like how Pathfinding Avoidance handled path priority using zones, so I made this. This is a from-scratch rebuild for RimWorld 1.6, whose pathfinding system was completely rewritten in that version. Older versions of this mod relied on hooks that no longer exist in 1.6 - this version is built against the new pathfinder from the ground up. I have used the assets of the existing, old versions and tried to make it work basically the same way for 1.6.
