Expanded Character Panel

This mod replaces the default character panel with a more compact and convenient panel for large colonies.
The main goal of the mod is to make playing with many survivors more comfortable, approximately up to 100 characters.
Higher numbers have not been fully tested.

• Displays more characters on one panel.
• Splits the main character list into pages 1–5.
• Adds separate tabs for all characters, injured characters, idle characters and drafted characters.
• Allows you to create custom character groups.
• Allows you to rename custom groups.
• Allows you to change custom group icons.
• Allows each custom group to have its own character order.
• Allows you to change the global character order.
• Allows you to reorder characters using drag & drop.
• Adds custom group filters to assignment, expedition, schedule and activities windows.
• Adds a separate setting for panel button size.
• Adds a separate setting for character portrait size.
• Allows you to configure the number of portraits per row.
• Allows you to show or hide character names.
• Supports localized character names, including Russian names.
• Allows you to hide portraits or the whole button panel.

• Panel move button — allows you to move the panel around the screen.
• Eye — controls portrait and button panel visibility.
• Reorder mode button — enables mouse-based character reorder mode.
• All — shows all available characters.
• 1–5 — pages of the main character list. For example, button 1 shows the first part of the list, button 2 shows the next part, and so on.
• Injured — shows injured characters.
• Idle — shows characters with no current task.
• Drafted — shows characters in Draft mode.
• Custom groups — groups created by the player.
• Plus / minus — create and remove custom groups.

• Custom groups are created manually by the player.
• New groups are named G1, G2, G3 by default, and so on.
• Group names can be changed.
• Group icons can be changed separately from the group name.
• Each custom group has its own character list.
• Each custom group has its own character order.
• The order inside a custom group does not change the global character order.
• Custom groups are saved separately inside the current savegame.

Custom groups are used not only on the main panel, but also as filters in several game UI windows:

• Assign Owner — select an owner from a specific group instead of the full survivor list.
• Assign People — group filtering works for assigning people to work areas and workbenches.
• Expeditions — filter the list of available survivors before sending an expedition.
• Schedule — show only rows for survivors from the selected group.
• Activities / Priorities — show only rows for survivors from the selected group.

Filters in the Schedule and Activities windows are visual filters. They hide unnecessary rows in the interface, but do not change priorities, schedules or character behavior logic.

• The All tab and buttons 1–5 use the global character order.
• The global order is applied to the main panel and also to the Activities and Schedule windows.
• Custom groups use their own order.
• The order inside a custom group is used in group filters, including expeditions and assignment menus.
