You have not used the correct parent node.

Xpath should start by Buildings/ThingDef/....

Thanks i asked over there as well and with an example that is similar but working.

You have not used the correct parent node.

Thanks, I'm not sure if i did it wrong but just replacing ThingDefs with Buildings didn't get it working. Tried a few similar things as well /Buildings/ThingDef/

Sorry i am completely new to xpath not xml necessarily but this part totally new.


Update: I got it to work but I think in the inefficient way.

Code Select Expand

<xpath>//ThingDef[defName = "Wall"]/costStuffCount</xpath>

As i stated in the surgery thread I think youve used costStuffCount which as far as I can see doesnt exist on mineable walls as they arent buildable in core.
