Mod «Smarter Construction» for Rimworld (v1.1 - 1.6)

Stop your pawns from constantly building themselves into a wall or blocking something that hasn't been built yet. Great for filling sapper tunnels and rebuilding walls.

Currently only affects construction (not installing minified structures). Save game compatible. Right click => construct will bypass the mod so you can trap things intentionally.

Compatibility

• Blueprints: fully compatible
• Misc. Robots++: fully compatible
• Home Mover: uses minify and install so it can still trap pawns
• Replace Stuff: uses custom code so it can still trap pawns
• Achtung!: if you force construction this mod won't apply, but it isn't really an issue since it has custom forced job logic
• Linux: compatible again!

Performance

Now even faster, and with much less fps drop! Profiling revealed a 1.5% slowdown at the peak of the second gif (10 builders and ~600 wall segments at max speed), and no impact when not constructing anything. For optimization purposes areas of 50 tiles+ are considered open.
