2. Select and activate a new created policy by clicking on the button next to cog icon
3. Configure the policy by setting the areas, outfits, drugs, etc as you always do
4. Done.
Repeat this process for other policies and THEN change between them in one click. WIN!

Features
- Presets (policies) for Work, Schedule, Assign and Animal tabs
- Default outfits, food, drugs when colonist or prisoners join colony
- Emergency' button to toggle your configured policies at once

People feedback
"This mod has saved me a ton of aggravation when it comes to saving my animals during raids. I have an unrestricted (auto) policy during non-raids. When there's a raid I have another policy called "hide" and they go indoors. If it's an infestation I use another policy where my animals rally in a canyon and eat grass while I kill the bugs" by asquirrel

"My God, I do hate to have to restrict every single animal and pawn individually.. This is the answer to my prayers!" by FreyaMaluk

"Thanks for this, just alt-tabbed out of my game in exasperation to look for a mod that would do this - a heat wave hit for the second time in just a few days and I have to tell 25 guys to go put on dusters instead of standing outside in their jackets till they go insane" by sapling

Opening the assigned button causes it to get "stuck". Can't click on it to close it or open anything else including the main menu.,

Adding BPC to my playthrough-- haven't used it in 1.6 yet so this should be a fresh test. Will report back later!

v2.8.2
- Second tentative fix to 'null pointer exception' bug when saving pawn states;

Again, I'm not able to reproduce this bug with my play style or mod list. Regardless, I added more protections to try to mitigate the problem. Please report back, ideally on a save with a clean BCP.

Clean BPC means resetting BPC. To reset it, simply disable it from the mod list, then load your save without the mod and finally save your game to a new save or overwrite the existing one. When you enable BPC again, BPC will be reset but you will also lose all you policies settings.

I also have an autosave of 1 in-game day prior, where the centipede is still gestating and the constructoid of the second pawn is still alive. In this save, if I open the mech tab, the GUI also bugs, and in this case destroying the constructoid is what fixes the GUI. Also, if I finish gestating the centipede in this save, the GUI works correctly.

For another test, I reloaded the autosave and let the centipede finish gestating without destroying the constructoid, and in this case I need to destroy both of them to fix the GUI.

Note that this also works when I draft my pawns and force them to attack the mechs to death

It seems that something is causing individual mechs to be corrupted and bricking the GUI, and destroying them fixes it. (I use Development Mode Hotkey so I can access dev mode without having to open the menu, which is impossible when the GUI bricks)

Some testing I did in my playthrough.

In my last save:
- I have a pawn that has been a mechanitor for a long time, has 5 mechs created a long time ago and just finished gestating a centipede
- I have a second pawn that has just been implanted with the mechlink, has disassembled the constructoid that came with it, and has taken control of the centipede that the first pawn gestated.

In this save, if I open the mech tab, the GUI bugs, but if I destroy the centipede with dev mode, the GUI starts working again, and this only happens when I destroy the centipede, I have tried destroying the others mechs, and as long as the centipede exists, the GUI is bricked.
