Use NPC Animations - Eating drinking and more

Version 2 of the optional crafting addon adds a few more pieces of furniture, see images for a preview. It also adds crew terminals which can optionally add crew slots to your ship and/or command slots to the player. See the new settings in gameplay options to change these. This gives you a convenient way to increase your permitted crew size without needing to change your ship in the ship builder.

Version 2. 1 of the main mod should fix an issue where the settings item would not be added to the player's inventory when starting a completely new game.

DESCRIPTION

This mod adds an "As NPC" option to furniture, and to animation markers if you have the Usable Animation Markers (UAM) mod. This allows the player to use an NPC animation style instead of the usual player ones. If you've seen NPCs drink from a bottle, eat a sandwich or a steak, write on a tablet etc. then you've already seen some examples of them. The animation that gets triggered will depend on the particular piece of furniture used, with many supporting several different animations.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM UAM?

The two mods are complementary, but neither requires the other. UAM allows invisible markers to be used, but the player character is still limited to a subset of all the game's available human animations. This mod on the other hand doesn't affect the visibility of markers, but adds an option to most furniture to use the NPC animation type instead.

SETTINGS

Along with the "As NPC" option you'll see on furniture, when this mod is installed you'll also have a misc item added to your inventory, "Animation Activate Settings". You can use this to enable and disable the "As NPC" option, so it only needs to be visible when you want it. When enabled, you can also use it to force enable the eat/drink animation for standard chairs and high stools; some of the eating (sandwich or steak) and drinking (foam cup or bottle) animations assume a table is in front of the player so they may look odd if one isn't there. Force enabling these will prevent the player from using other animations with chairs and stools, so it would be a good idea to only use this option when needed, and disable it again after.  An optional plugin is available to have this setting toggled with an aid item "Toggle Force Eat/Drink", which will be in misc and which you can add to your favorites. As with my Summon Rover mod this adds two of the aid item to your inventory to avoid the "new item" prompt each time it is used. It can be made at an industri
