Job In Bar

Puts a colonist's Job title (and more) In the colonist Bar below their name. Extremely useful for organizing your colony and remembering which pawn is good at what at a glance.
(Yes I know the name is somewhat confusing, the mod has expanded and improved a lot over the years. This mod does not let your pawns have a job bartending).



A colonist's job is either their backstory (childhood/adulthood) or a custom player Title. You can give a pawn any title you want to using the rename dialog from the Bio menu. Alternately, the pawn's backstory will be put there instead.

Please note that this mod does NOT show the current job that the pawn is performing. This mod only shows a pawn's job title from their story. NEW UPDATE: This mod now does have a new feature that displays a pawn's current job/task when you hover your mouse over them in the colonist bar. Please feel free to drop feedback on this new feature if anything doesn't seem right
I made this mod because I needed to organize my colonists and I missed Pawn Badge, which never updated to 1.1 (There have been fan-forks since then, but not when I made this mod). Vanilla RimWorld already has a system for entering custom job titles for colonists, and I always wondered why it didn't show in the colonist bar to help organize and specialize.


Should be 100% compatible with any mod except mods that replace the colonist bar (Colony groups, for example Colony Groups has received a compatibility patch, but the example is still valid). Mods that modify the vanilla colonist bar should be 100% compatible.

100% safe to add/remove from an ongoing save.

RimWorld 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 support all features of the mod. Versions 1.2 and 1.3 are not updated and use the version of the mod as it was when they were current, there were significant changes in the vanilla codebase for 1.4 that make it not really worth backporting all of the years of improvements.

• Colony Groups has a built-in patch to be compatible

Text rendering in Unity is a relatively expensive operation in terms of performance, so this mod will inherently have some impact on performance. In my testing I have never noticed any difference whatsoever, I suspect you would need a colony with 100+ pawns before you had any problems and the UI scaling would break long before that.
If you do experience any performance impact from this, it will only be to lower your FPS, not your TPS/game speed. This mod does not perform any of its logic on tick.


Extreme UI scaling or an extreme number of pawns may cause the labels to render in undesirable ways.
Sometimes the text wrapping on long labels isn't quite correct.

My UI is broken! If part of your UI disappears, tell me the error message(s) in the log. Just saying that the UI is broken tells me nothing unfortunately, that could be caused by literally any error.
