Orders! for Perspective Shift

Orders! for Perspective Shift mod preview for RimWorld

Although I adore the Perspective Shift mod, I felt that the mod was missing a certain capacity to order people around.



Although I adore the Perspective Shift mod, I felt that the mod was missing a certain capacity to order people around. You're meant to be in the shoes of an 'avatar' after all, so why can't I yell at my co-surgeon to bring me more medicine while I try to save my wounded troops?

Aiming to rectify that, I've made this mod!

An overview of the content added by this mod




What commands, you may ask? Well...

A list of all commands added by this mod:



Keep in mind that commands are only given to colonists that can hear you. To be able to hear you, a colonist must either:
  • Be in a radius of 8 tiles
  • Have line-of-sight to the avatar, in a radius of 16 tiles
  • Have a walkie-talkie, which lets a colonist issue/respond to orders from anywhere

Hovering over any of the command gizmos will let you see a detailed list of who you can and cannot issue orders to.

Fetch item...


This command lets you choose a colonist, and then any item from your stockpiles. The chosen colonist will then grab the item (in the amount specified) and bring it to a location of your choosing.

Summon colonist...


This command lets you choose a specific colonist to draft up and come to your position.

Order everyone here


This is a simple command that makes all colonists draft up and then gather around your avatar.

Undraft everyone


This is a simple command that simply undrafts everyone.

Order colonists to marked point alpha/beta/delta...


When using this command, you'll first get to decide whether it applies to all colonists, only armed colonists or only unarmed colonists. Afterwards, all applicable colonists will draft up and move to one of the relevant spots added by the mod. Colonists will each try to go to a unique spot instead of bunching up on the same spot, this can be used to make things like defensive lines or safehouses for unarmed colonists.

Q&A


I have an idea for a new command!


Great! Leave it in the comments, I'm open to suggestions for new commands to add to the mod.

Aren't half these commands stuff you could already do?


Technically, yes - but that is only true in regards to ways that really break one's immersion. Yelling for the unarmed colonists to head to the safehouse as drop pods fall above you is far more immersive than going back to director mode, drafting specific colonists and making them all walk to the safe house, I think.

I found an issue, what should I do?


Report them in my Discord server.

Any reports in the comments, especially really vague ones, will be deleted with no response.
