🩺 !pawncheck Command (RICS 1.46)

New in RICS 1.46 (August 1, 2026).

!pawncheck is a quick injury-only report for another viewer's assigned pawn. It answers: "is that colonist hurt?" without dumping body type, comfort range, implants, or the rest of a full !mypawn body report.

This page is the knowledge source for the new command and the 1.46 behavior changes. Copy or ingest this file when updating the AI chatbot database.

RICS 1.46 — What Changed

Use this section to refresh bot / viewer knowledge. These are live as of RICS 1.46.

New command

Command Who can use it Cost What it does
!pawncheck <viewer> Everyone (default) Free Injury / visible-condition report for that viewer's pawn

Other 1.46 changes the bot should know

Change What it means in chat / colony
!surgery now respects Require Research If the global research gate is on, unresearched surgeries are blocked and the reply names the missing research. Do not tell viewers they can buy an implant the colony has not researched.
One Mechlink per pawn A pawn cannot stack extra Mechlinks. Do not suggest a second Mechlink "for more bandwidth."
Broken incident defs no longer empty the Events store Mods with invalid incident workers no longer crash event rebuild. Events Editor should stay populated.
Twitch Bot Username auto-fill If Bot Username is left blank, RICS copies the Channel Name. Connection is more reliable.
Safer startup messages Some early Messages.Message calls were removed so DefOfs are not used before they exist. Errors still go to the log.

Commands that are still not !pawncheck

  • Your own pawn: !mypawn body (full report) or !mypawn health (capacities).
  • Heal injuries: !healpawn, !healpawn all, !healpawn <viewer>.
  • Dead pawn: !revivepawn — !pawncheck only reports that the pawn is dead.
  • Vanished / kidnapped pawn: !rescueme (subscriber; not a health check).

Command Syntax

!pawncheck <viewer>
Form Meaning
!pawncheck alice Injury report for Alice's assigned pawn
!pawncheck @alice Same — a leading @ is stripped
!pawncheck Invalid. Prints usage. A viewer name is required.

Rules:

  • Target is required. There is no "check myself" form. Use !mypawn body for your own pawn.
  • Case-insensitive viewer name (Twitch / YouTube / Kick username).
  • Default permission: everyone.
  • Default cost: 0 coins.
  • Cooldown: uses the command cooldown system (useCommandCooldown is on; default seconds is 0 unless the streamer changes it in the Command Editor).
  • Game must be loaded. Pawn assignment is not available on the main menu.

What The Report Shows

Header:

🩺 Pawn check — <name>:

Then, per body part (head-to-toe), visible injuries and medical conditions:

  • Part name + current / max HP, e.g. Left Lung (8/15)
  • Condition names with severity markers
  • Counts when the same condition stacks ((x2))
  • Critical conditions listed first

If the pawn is fine:

<name> has no visible injuries. ✅

Visible conditions use the same filter as !mypawn body: healthy implants are skipped. You see wounds, bleeding, diseases, missing parts, and similar problems — not a shopping list of bionics.

Limits (keeps chat short):

  • Up to 12 body parts
  • Up to 20 condition lines
  • Overflow: ... and N more body parts with conditions

Patient name prefers the pawn's nick / short name, then the viewer's display name.

What The Report Does Not Show

!pawncheck is not a full pawn sheet. It does not include:

  • Body type
  • Comfort temperature range
  • Implant / bionic catalog (use !mypawn implants on your pawn)
  • Health capacities (consciousness, moving, etc.) — that is !mypawn health
  • Skills, traits, gear, needs, relations, genes, or mechs
  • A heal, tend, or surgery

It also cannot inspect a pawn that is not assigned to a viewer.

!pawncheck vs !mypawn body

!pawncheck <viewer> !mypawn body
Whose pawn? Another viewer (required) Your assigned pawn
Body type / comfort No Yes
Injuries / conditions Yes (compact) Yes (fuller report + part filter)
Filter by body part No Yes — !mypawn body arm
Implants fluff Skipped Full body report includes more context
Heal anything? No No

After a raid, typical flow:

  1. !pawncheck alice — is Alice's pawn bleeding?
  2. If yes and target heal is enabled: !healpawn alice
  3. For your own wounds: !mypawn body then !healpawn

Chat Replies (exact meanings)

Reply Meaning
Usage: !pawncheck <viewer> — list injuries on another viewer's pawn. Missing or empty viewer name
Pawn assignment system is not available (load a game first). No colony loaded
{viewer} doesn't have a pawn assigned. That username has no RICS pawn
{name}'s pawn is dead. Target pawn is dead or destroyed. Use !revivepawn, not !pawncheck.
🩺 Pawn check — {name}: + lines Success — injuries listed
{name} has no visible injuries. ✅ Success — nothing to heal
Error checking pawn. Please try again. Unexpected error (check logs)

Examples

!pawncheck captolamia
!pawncheck @MasieLamia

Good uses

  • During or after a raid: "Is Alice down?"
  • Before spending coins on !healpawn <viewer>
  • AI / storyteller: check another colonist without running the long !mypawn sheet

Bad uses

  • !pawncheck with no name
  • Checking yourself — use !mypawn body
  • Checking a random colonist who is not a viewer pawn — this command only resolves assigned viewer pawns
  • Treating a "no injuries" result as a full medical all-clear for capacities (still check !mypawn health if they seem slow or blind)

Streamer Settings

Command Editor → pawn check:

  • Enable / disable
  • Permission (default everyone)
  • Cooldown seconds
  • Not a store purchase — there is no coin cost in the def

Related Commands

  • !mypawn — your pawn (body, health, implants, genes, …)
  • !healpawn / !healpawn all / !healpawn <viewer> — actually heal
  • !surgery — implants and procedures (research-gated in 1.46)
  • !revivepawn — dead pawns
  • !rescueme — vanished / kidnapped / left-behind pawn (not injuries)

For The AI Chat Bot Database

Facts to index (do not invent extra syntax):

  1. New command in RICS 1.46: !pawncheck <viewer>.
  2. Injury-only. Other viewer's assigned pawn only.
  3. @ prefix optional. No arguments → usage string.
  4. Healthy implants are hidden. "No visible injuries" ≠ a capacity report.
  5. Dead target → say they are dead; suggest !revivepawn.
  6. Unassigned username → they have no pawn; do not invent injuries.
  7. !surgery is research-gated when Require Research is on.
  8. Only one Mechlink per pawn.
  9. Do not TTS-dump a long injury list; summarize bleeding / missing parts / "they're fine."
