No Job Authors

Description
Item's final Quality is determined by whoever finishes the job!
This hasn't changed from default behavior. If your pawn with 2 crafting finishes the job, it's gonna be Awful. If your pawn with 20 finishes, it's gonna be whatever quality a 20 in crafting will yield.

If a pawn is machining/fabricating and gives up halfway through to go perform some other task, you are left with an "Unfinished Thing" that is linked to that author. This mod seeks to remove that link, allowing any pawn to finish the job that was started by another.

It should be compatible with any mod that generates unfinished things (eg. Core Drill, etc).
As of 1.2 Oct 9th 2020 the Author of Rimworld of Magic added in a compatibility patch for this mod :)

@SSS-class Warlock I've encountered the same issue, and in my case it is vanilla books expanded. (Im not sure if Odyssey introduces book-writing feature or not) Colonists won't pick up an unfinished book and finish it, ever.

Is it possible to disable authorship only for items that aren't quality-dependent? Like prosthetics?

It's apparently Odyssey that introduced writing, but I am not so sure anymore that this issue I am talking about even exists. I got a lot of colonists and all unfinished books are just called "unfinished textbook" after all. A few are about 10-20% done, so maybe I was just imagining it, jumping to conclusions.
I apologize for the inconvenience I've caused you and will let you know when my suspicion becomes absolutely certain

I’m a little out of touch, what dlc is writing from? Or which mod, I’ll add that to the list of things to check into.

Makes sense.
I noticed an issue with your mod, though. Pawns assigned to writing (the bill set to forever) just keep starting new books every time they start writing something. So I got a big pile of barely started books and not a single one will ever be finished at this rate.
It appears that these books are all detached from their bill, which is fine when it comes to components or strict division of labor, but something of a problem with writing.

I mean, I have a discord, but the link isn't posted anywhere yet, and it's never "mandatory" haha.

You're a G for answering everyone's questions without dragging them to your Discord, thank you

nice catch! I'll check that mod out and see if there's something we can do about that, or list it as a hard incompatibility.

hey Jellypowered, after some testing i found that there seems to be an incompatibility with the mod Finish It! and your mod, in-case you want to update the incompatibilities listing. FI! adds the widget, but does nothing when clicked. I'm guessing that because your mod removes the unique author for the item, the game doesn't know who to assign the job to (as the tag says "everyone") so instead does nothing at all.
