Hi everyone,

I'm planning on making a mod for rimworld biotech with a gene that makes someone restricted to eating metals, like steel. I've seemingly been successful in assigning the item steel a nutrition value and a foodtype which I called "Metalfood".

The problem is that I don't know where the foodtype "metalfood" would be assigned. I copied a .cs file called "FoodTypeFlags" from github and put it into a folder called "Source" within my mod folder.

The file is named "FoodTypeFlags.cs" and looks like this:

using System;

namespace RimWorld
{
   [Flags]
   public enum FoodTypeFlags
   {
      None = 0,
      VegetableOrFruit = 1,
      Meat = 2,
      Fluid = 4,
      Corpse = 8,
      Seed = 16,
      AnimalProduct = 32,
      Plant = 64,
      Tree = 128,
      Meal = 256,
      Processed = 512,
      Liquor = 1024,
      Kibble = 2048,
      VegetarianAnimal = 3857,
      VegetarianRoughAnimal = 3921,
      CarnivoreAnimal = 2826,
      CarnivoreAnimalStrict = 10,
      OmnivoreAnimal = 3867,
      OmnivoreRoughAnimal = 3931,
      DendrovoreAnimal = 2705,
      OvivoreAnimal = 2848,
      OmnivoreHuman = 3903,
      Metalfood = 4096
   }
}


I'd love some advice, and please tell me if something like this isn't even possible because I haven't seen it ever done before (at least the way I'm doing it). Thank you in advance.

Hello!

I've modded in a new faction to my game that I want to have a mechanitor feel to it. It shows up on the map and otherwise works completely fine.

I would, however, like it if I could tell it to spawn raids in with custom pawn types? Just like the code for an Impid faction would spawn fire-weapon wielders instead of normal tribals, I would like this faction to spawn in mechanoid combatants alongside human combatants.

While sifting through the code of the Savage Impid Tribe, I saw that custom raid make-ups like the one I'm looking for are contained in something called "pawnGroupMakers". When I copy paste this into my new tribe, however, the entire file seems to stop working and I can't even see it on the map anymore.

TL;DR Does anyone know how to customize the make-up of raids for a modded faction?

Thank you in advance
