Allows you to adjust the chance that dirt (and all forms of filth) will spawn, in and outside the home area. Defaults to a 0 percent chance for all types of filth. Requires HugsLib. Should work with any mods that add filth as long as this is loaded under that mod and it uses BaseFilth for its added filth.

Hello! I've created a mod that expands the right-click menu when clicking on an item. All actions that're listed at the bottom of the screen for the object will be in the right-click menu. This also works with AllowTool and its custom right-clickable items.

This mod removes the tutorial button from the main menu. This is great if, like me, you're constantly accidentally clicking on it trying to start a new colony (which I do lot when testing mods).

Hello! I got tired of manually changing everything every time I started a new project, so I've created a template for VS 2015 for RimWorld mods.
Download: http://merthsoft.com/RimWorldMod.zip

Just plop that into C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ProjectTemplates and you'll be able to go to New Project -> RimWorldMod:

Make sure you create it in the Mods folder of your RimWorld install, so for steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RimWorld\Mods. It uses relative addressing for the references, so should be alright for non-Steam as well. If anyone wants to add this to a wiki or tutorial or whatever, feel free.

Edit: Maybe this should be in the tools subforum? I can't move it, though.

This mod allows you to draft any pawn. Note that it does a bit of code injection, so it doesn't work with other mods that modify how drafting works, such as Defensive Positions.

Useful for setting up scenes for screenshots or for cheating! Thanks to Jorlem for the idea!

Would anyone be interested in a mod-making stream on Twitch? I would work on some mods, and talk through the process and interact with chat while it's going on. Good chance to show off the process from start to finish.

Hello! I created a mod that makes it so your people don't drop their things when they're psychotically wandering.

Tech stuff:
The way it currently works is it checks for the WanderPsychotic def, and injects some code to make it so the TryDropRandomItem function doesn't get called, assuming it can find it. This makes it so that if a mod overrides what the WanderPsychoticdef does, as long as it still has the TryDropRandomItem method. The end goal is to make a configuration file that makes it so that you can set a custom def to override, too. I'll work on that later

I'm trying to add some configuration to my mod via a custom def. However, when I make the xml file and a corresponding class, I just get:
"Found no usable data when trying to get defs from file CustomClasses.xml"

Is there a way to have a custom def? Or if not, what's the best way to load in a text file?

Hello! I've created a mod that enables power switches to be configured to be on or off depending on the current in-game time.

Hello, I've started working on a mod for timer switches, and wanted to see if one already existed. I've searched but the closest I've found is one that adds pretty advanced switches, including one that has a timer, but it's not as fine-grained as my idea. My idea is for it to work like the Restrictions tab, where you can set on or off for each hour. Does something like that exist? Would other people be interested?
