Both versions do increase the skills. In recreational mode it just has a slightly different modifier than in the task mode.

@Rabbitshoes -- I can confirm that this one (the no-task version) increases skill for the colonists. I have three archery targets and three martial arts targets built and have been watching their skills go up.

does this increase skill?

Would be cool to have that as a recreative option :)

i wonder if swapping to this one from the one with the task kills my 500mod save
hmm who knows
i will tell you tomorrow

Odd, when I installed the mod first I was getting XP increase when the pawns used the dummies, but not any more.

This one (no Task) only allows you to manually assign the training and they will use it as a free time object.

wait, so if they dont do it for a task, when do they actually get training in?

1.6 please :) I always disable the task since it seems OP so it would be nice to use this mod instead

I think it would be good idea to add training time in a Restrict tab

No Task: This variant does not have a work task, where you can assign the work Training, similiar to hauling, research,... to be automatically be done.

What does training task mean in games

Adding should not be a problem.

safe to add to a save?

Thanks for the info. I'll update it soon. :)

Just a heads up, since this does not have any tasks, the game throws a mild error [pastebin.com] butI do believe you can resolve it by removing the Languages\English\DefInjected\WorkTypeDef\TrainingFacility_WorkTypes.xml file. Thanks again for the awesome mod!

They need a ranged weapon, then they should use the shooting range and you also should have the right-click option.

Love the mod. My pawns didn't seem to use the shooting range in their recreation time though. They happily train martial arts themselves when scheduled for recreation and seem to improve their melee which was my main reason for getting the mod since the vanilla recreation trains shooting already.

But still how do you get them to use the shooting target on a range?

It didn't have a right click option like training martial arts and they didn't do it automatically in their recreation time?

could you also make colonists train when idle.

Hi!
I like the training idea, it's truly necessary. Both as Task or as Joy is wellworth.
But for me it's pictures should be more expressive and large.
As example of size it could be Oskar's Vanilla Furniture Expanded.

Suggestions:
- The bow-target can be bigger - 2x1 in size for greater clarity, and 4 square width for shooting.
- A target in the form of a pawn can be even slightly larger than the size of live pawns and must necessarily have visual variations on 5 body shapes: Fat, Hulk, Thin, Man, Woman.
- The martial arts dummy can looks like Wing Chun Dummy Puppe, and 8 squares around to use, or 4 squres contiguous by vertical and horizontal.
- Also for close combat training a variation can be added for wall placing/attaching and three front squares to use - Home Unit for Boxing.

Thank you for your creativity!

Thank you bug fix works!

There is a private function in the traps building, but that is not needed for other buildings.

The same was already mentioned in the other thread. Here is my reply:

Hmm, I don't even know what this error will tell me? There is a missing Method CheckAutoRebuild, that is not really needed according to the vanilla code and Harmony doesn't like it? Hmm, I don't care..

There is a strange warning about blueprint build.

GOOD MOD

Yes, they should use these as another source of joy.

I have same question

pawns automaticaly use for joy?

You can technically switch mod versions to this one and vice-versa, but it will completely discombobulate your Work tab - I'd strongly recommend taking a screenshot of your Work priorities before switching versions.

Both versions are simmiliar. I have no idea if you can switch from the Task-Version to this Version in a running game, because.. you loose the Task, but otherwise you can disable the other and enable this mod.

Since these are "no task" can eather version be used for Joy or Meditation while still training normaly over time?
I have the job version now, not sure if switching at some point would be better. I kinda dislike haveing more Jobs in my workloadout screen lol

This does appear to have fixed the issue of the guests interacting with the training facilities.
Could the effect of this mod's branch variant be encompassed in a mod setting? Like a mod option toggle to include the training task?

I'm hoping this will fix an issue I'm seeing with Hospitality guests erroring out on the martial arts dummy. I'll test and report.
Here's the latest error log. the guest's name is "Owl"... he's not actually an animal.

Nice! Thanks for this.
