I have that thingclass there because there was a different issue occurring without it: some users were having the building disappear after the work for construction was completed.

I have some users for my mod reporting that the buildings are disappearing when they are constructed.
When this happens they get a debug error along the lines of this:

Code Select Expand

Exception in JobDriver tick for pawn Timur driver=_JobDriver_ConstructFinishFrame (toilIndex=1) driver.job=(FinishFrame (Job_2215251) A=Thing_Frame_BrainInAJar289735) lastJobGiver=RimWorld.JobGiver_Work

Where do I need to be looking to diagnose this error?

Here is what I have for one of the building defs.

I have verified that it will cause this even when it is the only mod installed, ruling out potential mod conflicts.

The mod is called Brain In a Jar, and it is my first mod.
Here is the steam link if you need the whole mod to take a look:

That simple? That makes me feel silly.

Thanks for the help! It works perfectly.

I keep getting the following error in the debug log:

The issue is I keep getting this error no mater how I adjust the Headiffs for the Drone Brain.
Here is how I have it set up:

Everything functions as it is supposed to in-game, however I would like to prevent this error from popping up.

Any help is appreciated!

I found the issue! Works like a charm.
All I needed to do was xpath into the brain and add a spawnthingonremoved for it to work, since that part does not have it in the first place:

Code Select Expand

<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/BodyPartDef[defName = "Brain"]</xpath>
<value>
<spawnThingOnRemoved>Brain</spawnThingOnRemoved>
</value>
</li>

No errors, even when I set up a patch for xpath:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationSequence">
<success>Always</success>
<operations>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName = "Human"]/recipes</xpath>
<value>
<li>HarvestBrain</li>
</value>
</li>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>*/ThingDef[defName = "HiTechResearchBench"]/comps/li[@Class="CompProperties_AffectedByFacilities"]/linkableFacilities</xpath>
<value>
<li>BrainInAJar</li>
</value>
</li>
</operations>
</Operation>
</Patch>

There might be something else I am missing, but I am at a loss.

That is a result of me cutting and pasting from another mod that does something similar while trying to understand how pieces fit together.
since I don't end up using the new parent, and to avoid complicating things I'll have it removed.

I have the recipeUsers moved over to be under the recipe for harvest brain, but still seems to be absent in game. Could there be something else I am missing?

I have that added near the top, but it still doesn't seem to want to show as an option under the surgery bills. Here is what I have put together so far under the RecipeDef:

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I am working on a mod that will allow you to extract a brain from a pawn, and in turn uses that brain to construct a device to boost research speed.

I have been digging through, but I haven't been able to figure out how to add in the surgery for brain removal.

I think I have everything else set up, but any help I can get would be much appreciated!
