About this mod
HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL | This mod forces all chunks to stay loaded, fixing issues where base pals stop working or starve because their chunk/AI incorrectly unloads.

YES, IT KEEPS EVERY CHUNK LOADED. YES, I KNOW THAT'S DUMB. YES, I PLAN ON CHANGING IT, THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL VERSION SO PEOPLE CAN TEST. NO IT DOESN'T IMPACT PERFORMANCE AS MUCH AS YOU PROBABLY THINK IT WILL. THANKS.
Many people on dedicated servers have been asking for a solution to keep bases running even while offline and fix their pets starving while they're offline. This mod is an attempt to fix that, by setting chunks (partitions) to stay loaded permanently.
INSTALLATION/USAGE:
- Download the mod
- Download the latest version of UE4SS
- Extract the UE4SS folder contents into Pal/Binaries/Win64
- Extract the mod into the /Mods folder extracted from UE4SS
- If you wish you can edit the configs in TehStuckPalRescuerMod/Scripts/config.lua
IMPORTANT NOTE: After every server restart, each base must manually be visited by a player ONCE so that the pals can get initialized. After that, the bases should run as if a player is there until the next restart.
I highly recommend also running the following mods:
- Either Stuck Pal Rescuer, Hungry Pal Rescuer, or both - These mods prevent your pals from getting stuck somewhere and starving themselves.
- Pal Force Feeder - This mod ensures that when they eat, they eat enough to keep them full for more than 10 seconds.
- Custom Base Ticks - This mod lets you set the base tick intervals for when you are far away (or offline). More info on the mod description. Recommend setting all intervals to 0.1, but play around and see what's best for you.
PLANNED:
- Currently working on a way to initialize pals on server restart so you don't need to do that manually, this is the number one priority.
- Next will be a way to target only chunks with/surrounding bases.

Known Bugs:
- ITS AN EXPERIMENTAL VERSION, THERE'S BOUND TO BE BUGS, THANKS
