Work While Alt-Tabbed

Alt-tab out of Palworld while your character is working at a base station and they stop. Your Pals keep going, only you are taken off the job.

This keeps you working. Alt-tab away, do something else, come back and your character is still at it - animation and all. Move away and the work stops normally, exactly like it would if you had never left.

Install

Copy the WorkWhileAltTabbed folder into Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\Mods\
Open Mods\mods.txt and add this line above the Keybinds entry:

WorkWhileAltTabbed : 1

Requires UE4SS. Nothing to press or configure - start working and alt-tab.

Configuration

Optional, in WorkWhileAltTabbed\dlls\config.txt:

enabled = true turn it off without uninstalling

Notes

This one is a C++ mod rather than Lua, which means two things:

Your antivirus may flag the .dll. It is unsigned, like every native Palworld mod.
It is tied to the game version below. After a Palworld update it will stop working until it is rebuilt - it disables itself and writes the reason to WorkWhileAltTabbed.log rather than doing anything risky.

Tested in single-player only.

Working with v1.0.2.101103
