Idle Work

Description
This is a a very simple mod that adds an idle work type, and an idle spot, this mod is designed for people who have lots of colonist and don't want them checking for work all the time, and slowing down the game. Now you can give them a job doing nothing and just standing around.

This can also be used in more creative ways, for instance if you want people on guard, just set the idle work type to be the high probity and place idle spots where you want them to stand guard.

If you have location in your base that your colonist don't use much, set down idle spots and have them idle there.

Idle spots can also be placed on other things, so you can place them on a table and have colonist idle at a table.

Any chance you could update their job description so it doesn't say "Doing an unknown recipe"? [i.imgur.com]

Recently, do something for idle doesnt work 100%
this seems like a good alternative

@natthegreat668 I made this mod because apparently that mod is bad for performance

How does this compare to the “do something for idle” mod?

some suggestion. Let the spot texture more noticeable like add a outer box.

@jinn in outer space The same way as any other job, it's basically just adds a spot with bills that requires nothing, and produce nothing.

Woah, could this be the guard for me alternative that doesnt hurt TPS :D

My main question is, if they are doing the idle job at what point do they check what else they need to do eg sleep or eat? Do I just set their work time in the schedule to force them to stop working at a certain point
