Ah, yes, this would be the fault of Cotton.

I think I'm right in saying there's no way to get the vanilla trading ships to trade in modded resources except by overwriting their Core definition, which is what I did with cotton. Trouble is that if more than one mod you're using does this, only the changes from the mod that's loaded last will take effect.

I can and will fix this in the next version by creating a separate trader dealing in cotton, but the drawback is that the more types of trader you have, the less chance there will be of a specific one appearing, turning it into a bit of a lottery. Personally that's not to my taste - but nothing to be done about it for now

Looks like a really great mod - would be interested in trying this one out if / when it's updated!

I've added the files to ModDB - you should be able to download them there without registering an account. Hope this helps!

Update on beds with cotton: Hopefully Tynan will update the core graphics download with the new bed texture (since it was changed slightly in A5). Once that happens I can crack on with the plan I mentioned earlier for more bed colour variety, and optionalising the cotton requirement.

I encountered the psychic drone twice so far in the colony I'm playing at the moment. Perhaps I was lucky (or Randy is being charitable), but they caused me very little trouble. Both of them together caused only one of the prisoners I was holding to rampage, and two of my colonists - one in each event - to feel a bit down in the dumps. I'd like to thank the power of plantpots, rosebeds, and fine meals for keeping people sane. :p

Even had more bad stuff happened, it's a cool effect - so I won't be updating!

Yeah, it's a good point. I'll rip out the cotton cloth requirement for beds and put it in a separate mod tomorrow if I get chance. I didn't split cotton for beds into its own sub-mod because it seemed like such a small thing and I wanted to aviod ending up with a dozen or so really miniscule changes that each have their own mod.

On reflection this is a good change, though, because it'll tie into something else I wanted to add - varied bed colours! Once done folks can make a choice for their beds, similar to how you can choose CottonCarpets or MoreCarpets.

I was also wondering about creating something to bridge the gap between a basic sleeping spot and a full bed, perhaps a "Padded sleeping spot" that needs just unprocessed cotton fibre...

Tested and updated for Alpha 5.

Whups, sorry about the broken Nexus downloads - not sure what's happening there. I've tried re-uploading them but I'm also getting "An error has occurred". Maybe it takes a few hours for the files to filter through Nexus's system?

Meanwhile though I added some Mediafire mirrors which seems to be working better, so grab them through those, and thanks for checking it out!

[2.3.0]

Vanilla-friendly mods for a better RimWorld!
Current stable version 2.3.0 for RimWorld 1.0 to 1.3 - also supports Royalty & Ideology DLCs

New in v2.3.0
I know you've heard this before but this time it's real: the final update for T's Mods!

Added support for RimWorld 1.3. A fair bit of work happened in MoreFloors as I redrew all of the added stone floor textures to be as absolutely consistent as I could make them, firstly to the vanilla RimWorld visual theme and secondly to each other (by ensuring effect settings were identical). There was some further compatibility work done to support Alpha Biomes and RimNauts, along with tweaks to existing compatibility patches.

The new MoreFloors textures may not appeal to you, but the good news is the old textures are included within MoreFloors and you can swap back to them by following the instructions in the readme.txt.

All of my other mods are working just as they were in v2.2.0, so nothing else new to report.

[T] ExpandedCloth :: Tweaks the game's cotton and cloth system.
● Cotton plants yield raw cotton fibre. No more magical cloth directly from plants!
● A new research topic, cotton processing, will unlock the textile bench
● The textile bench must be used to produce cloth from raw cotton fibre
● Using MoreBedsCloth? Build padded sleeping spots as a stopgap until you have cloth for real beds

[T] ExpandedCrops :: Expands and refines the fruit and vegetables your colonists can grow.
● Three new crop types - tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots
● Two new meal types - salad requires lettuce and berries, and soup requires tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes
● New bulk cookery bills for cooks who are sufficiently skilled
● New kitchen cupboard that boosts the productivity of a nearby stove

[T] MiscStuff :: Things that don't fit anywhere else.
● One new wall type, the scrap metal wall - weak but cheap and fast to build
● Alert lamps that glow in various colours depending on colony threat (requires colored lighting research)
● Threat sensors to provide data to alert lamps - without one, they're useless

[T] MoreBeds :: Bored of plain beds? Indulge your inner decorator with new bed graphics and colours.
● Adds five new colour styles for normal, double, and royal beds
● MoreBedsCloth changes all beds to require some cloth to build, while MoreBedsVanilla doesn't - use one, not both!

[T] MoreFloors :: You can never have too many styles of flooring!
● Adds six new styles of wooden flooring (plus straw floors for that barn feel)
● Adds eleven new styles of stone flooring in all five stone vanilla stone types
● Adds eight styles of chequered stone floor in various combinations
● Adds six new carpet colours - orange, yellow, turquoise, purple, black, and white
● Adds a new style of chequered carpeting in all colours
● Adds a new style of wool carpeting in all colours, requiring woven wool from the new loom workbench
● Adds plasteel and jade flooring perfect for end-game colonies
● Support for Cupro's Stones and Extra Stone

[T] RawCropThoughts :: Adjusts vanilla crops with added detail.
● All vanilla crop items now give specific colonist thoughts if they are eaten raw

Compatibility Notes
● MoreFloors has integrated compatibility with Cupro's Stones, [K]Extra Stone, Kura's Extra Gems, Gemstones, CCP's Stone Tweaks, and CCP's Stone Tweaks Vanilla
● MoreBeds has integrated compatibility with More Furniture, Vanilla Furniture Expanded, and Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Spacer Module

Optional Downloads
● Jabbamonkey's HD Textures (for CoreCropTweaks, ExpandedCloth, and ExpandedCrops) - from this thread

Mods From Other Modders
● Vegetable Garden by dismar - takes the idea of expanding the crops your colony can grow and runs with it into the far distance!
● Architect Sense / Stuffed Floors by Fluffy - an excellent mod for keeping your architect menu tidy. It completely integrates all of the added flooring styles in MoreFloors with only one minor drawback of not having per-floor work-to-build, beauty, and materials required.
● More Furniture by Anonemous2 - if you like giving your colonies a bit of character with extra decorations and... well... more furniture, this mod is definitely for you.

Source Code
● Available on request!

Installation
IMPORTANT: Unless you're using a TMods patch designed for older versions, make sure you delete any old versions of TMods before extracting the new ones! Filenames may change between versions and other differences may be present. Overwriting an old installation will almost always cause errors.

To install TMods, simply unzip the mod's zip file into your RimWorld "Mods" subfolder, load RimWorld, then activate the parts you want to use by clicking the Mods button on the main menu and ticking the mods to enable.

Changelog
See the "T-readme.txt" included in the download for a history of changes.

Really minor request, but pretty much as the topic says I am wondering if there is some way to change the ThoughtDef that gets triggered when a colonist eats raw meat.

I want it to be a custom "AteRawMeat" rather than the default "AteRawFood".

Is this possible somehow? I know that defs for meat are generated within the code for reasons Tynan explained here - just wanted to check if there was any workaround.

Hi all, just today I started working on a simple "Agriculture" mod for my own amusement. The main thing I wanted to do was give the colonists a bit more variety in what they could grow and make meals from.

I understand the basics and have added a couple of new growable plants with their own graphics (tomatoe vines and lettuce). I even managed to tweak the MemoryThoughts to add more specific "raw veg" and "raw fruit" thoughts. But I'm wondering how to proceed...

What I was hoping to work toward having was this:

• A "tree" category of growable which would probably take up a 2x2 tile space
• A "grove" zone for growing trees normally (and slowly) outdoors
• A second tier of Hydroponics research would unlock a new type of basin that let colonists grow trees faster

It would also be nice if I could gate the new "normal" crop types behind research, the logic being that crashing on an alien planet would need the colonists to learn how to adapt Earth-like crops to their new conditions. But I think I'm right in saying that new growables can't be set to researched in the current design?

If anyone could offer any advice on the technicalities of this then that would be great!
