[Feature Request] Add a "Force Close Dialogue" method / button to resolve stuck trade windows in Multiplayer

Description

  • In RimWorld (even in vallina rimworld), a bug can occasionally cause a trading dialogue to open with no functional buttons available.
  • This can be easily bypassed in singleplayer by pressing ESC (closing the dialogue) and reopening the dialogue.
  • In Multiplayer it causes a severe game-blocking issue:
    • Pressing Esc only close the window interface, the player remains stuck in the "Dialogue Pause" state indefinitely with no way for players to resume play.

Behavior

  • Closing a broken dialogue window via Esc leaves the colony permanently stuck in a "Dialogue Pause" state, even after saving and reloading.
  • Players (or the host) should have a way to force-close the dialogue and simultaneously clear the "Dialogue Pause" state to resume gameplay without loading a save before the dialogue was opened.

Proposed Solution

  • Force Close Button: Add a "Force Close Dialogue" button next to the current "Dialogue Pause" button.
