Motivation

I grew tired of pals getting stuck in my base,
unable to complete their tasks due to pathing issues.
So I've decided to write this simple mod!

Logic Description

This mod scales down pals early, before full initialization of the Unreal Engine Character object,
which also appears to alter their collision box.

After a delay of 1ms (not notice-able to humans), it scales the Character object back to it's original size,
but not their collision box (that's not possible anymore at that point), so that remains smaller.

Which successfully resolved pals getting stuck in my base (with a 2 high roof),
without undesired side effects on pals in the wild (been testing the mod a week or so before releasing).
