I loaded my save from 1.2 and after a few minutes one of my colonists required rescue. Before the up date they had a peg leg for one leg and a wooden foot on the other side, now they have what can be seen in the screenshot and are thus unable to walk.



Left leg, right tibia, right foot, utility slot: removed???
Right femur: wooden foot?
Right thumb: peg leg?

Only mod running is replace stuff + harmony.

nice now i can get some ass in this game

nice

I'm trying to patch factiondefs so that they use my animal, donkeys, for their caravans as a pack animal. The patch is failing and I can't work out why.

Code Select Expand


<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
  <xpath>*/FactionDef[defName="TribeBase"]/pawnGroupMakers/li[5]/carriers</xpath>
  <value>
<Donkey>6</Donkey>
  </value>
</Operation>


You also have to add them in FactionDefs as well.  There is a tag for specifying what animals the faction will use for caravans.
It's looking like that

Code Select Expand

<carriers>
          <Muffalo>1</Muffalo>
          <Dromedary>1</Dromedary>
</carriers>

Thanks I was thinking it would be something like that and I looked in traderDefs, I didn't think to look at the factions.

ok, I need help to make traders use my donkey as a pack animal, colonists can use it when forming caravans but no trader caravans use donkeys.

So far I have added donkeys to allowed pack animals in all the biomes it spawns, shown below, but traders still only seem to use muffalo and dromedaries.

I managed to make animals spawn, for people finding this thread here is the fix.

The following should be in <race>

Code Select Expand


            <wildBiomes>
                <AridShrubland>0.4</AridShrubland>
<Desert>0.1</Desert>
<BorealForest>0.5</BorealForest>
<Tundra>0.3</Tundra>
<TemperateForest>0.5</TemperateForest>
<TropicalRainforest>0.1</TropicalRainforest>
            </wildBiomes>


Also, I think I need to patch the biomes to make traders use them, let me know if I am wrong.

I am trying to make my animal spawn naturally in the wild, however when I start the game there are a lot of errors in the log. Does anyone know how I can make my animal spawn naturally? Additionally I would like traders to use my animal as an option for a pack animal, anyone know how to do that?

I think you need _front and _back textures to go with your _side texture if you want a multi-texture to show up properly.

Thanks, I thought it would work and just show side with front and back as missing textures, apparently not. I put renamed muffalo front and back as placeholders and it worked, looks a bit weird when a donkey faces a different direction and turns into a muffalo though.

I don't understand <texPath>, what am I doing wrong?

Ingame error:

Resulting in:


My code (most not changed from muffalo yet, only interested in problem with finding the texture I have changed):

I start a new series in Rimworld Alpha twelve with a cute yorkshire terrier. In this episode I choose my location and survivors build the start of my base and get some power up and running.

Episode 2, Better than episode 1!

I make some progress on the base, a wanderer joins and things start to get HOT.

I have started a series on vanilla alpha 11 in temperate forest, so far many bad things are happening.
I will be posting new episodes 1-2 times a week, so please come and check the series out.
