Update 10/21/22: Now supports version 1.4.

Note: animals that are blocked by fences are still blocked when shooed. If your fence has a gate, they will use it. Otherwise they'll be stuck until you resolve the problem.

Adds a new designator that allows you to harmlessly shoo wild animals away from your base.

Troubled by animals wandering into your buildings as you construct them? Need a way to discourage pests from eating up your fields? The Shoo designator (found in the Orders menu or when a wild animal is selected) will order a pawn assigned to Handling to shoo animals away from them. Animals inside your base will automatically move through doors if necessary to leave. Animals outside your base will simply flee in a random direction.

Note that not all animals are equally easy to shoo; wilder and larger animals are more likely to ignore your pawns, depending on that pawn's animal taming skill. If a pawn fails to shoo an animal, they must wait a short time before trying again. Dangerous animals have a small chance to attack.

----
Compatibility: Shoo! should be safe to add to games currently in progress. It should be safe to remove as long as no pawns are in the process of shooing animals, no animals are marked for shooing, and no animals are currently fleeing from having been shooed.
