Is it possible to add random results to a workbench? E.g: Enter item A, receive either item B, C or D. With a random chance of each. 

Example mod:
Cook Food (Recipe requires raw food).
End Product: Either Poor, Okay or Good food. With a 50% chance of each product.

I've created a trading mod, which adds 12 new traders. However, their frequency is high. This often means that there are more custom traders than vanilla traders. Is there a way to reduce this? I've noticed that in the IncidentDef, there is <chance>, would creating a new IncidentDef and increasing the chance, mean that a) more traders arrive or b)more custom traders arrive? Also, would a new IncidentDef require a .dll?

My mods are .xml only; as such, I won't be adding events, complex buildings, new weapons/ armour  or pawns; there are plenty of these mods available. 

AstroTec Labs focus on bringing modern day theoretical & experimental science to Rimworld. An example of this would be our Off-world Asteroid Mining, which isn't possible yet.

I want to make an item that has a negative impact on beauty. Looking at the core items, I've noticed some have:

Code Select Expand

<statOffsets>
<Beauty>18</Beauty>
</statOffsets>

<statFactors>
<Beauty>6</Beauty>
</statFactors>


My question is, what is the difference between <statOffsets> and <statFactors> and how does the <Beauty> in each affect the beauty of the item?

Design:
The mod is designed for mid to late game. Research will take time and patience; you will need to put time and effort into obtaining the new workstations. Unlocking advanced-tech is not a quick process and the research tree reflects this.

Compatibility:
This mod doesn't overwrite any core files and should play nice with other mods.

Future Updates:
This mod will be updated as and when the main Alpha version is updated. I may release optional add-ons in-between updates.

If, for example I made crafting an item: <workAmount>60000</workAmount> (which is how long it take to make abstract sculpture). Would my colonist be able to stop and continue a task on a worktable? I found that in Alpha 7, a colonist would stay until the task was complete, often starving or tired.

A two-part question:

I'd like to add thought defs to my mod. Basically;

Add bill to worktable, colonist completes bill; colonist gets thought. I want to create a shower worktable where colonists use soap in a recipe and gain a "Clean" thought. This would be a time limit thought, possibly stack-able.

Questions:
1. Can I do this without .dll?
2. Would I add the thought code to the Soap or the Worktable?

And (on an unrelated note). Can I create an Orbital trade beacon, similar to the vanilla Orbital trade beacon, without a .dll?

I want to create some text-only events, would I still need a .dll?

Is it possible to add a custom trader without overwriting the core traders and without needed a .dll. I assume i'd need a TraderKindDefs and that BaseTraderKinds would indeed over right core traders. Also, "<tradersCarry>true</tradersCarry>" is the only line I need in my itemdef to make traders carry it (along with adding the item to a TraderDef?

So I can make shirts, pants and hat. How about dusters? I saw a raider wearing one and wondered how I could make more complex clothing.

When RimWorld is released on Steam (this year in theory) will those of us who already have it and have supported it in Alpha get Steam Keys? I don't like the idea of buying it a second time on Steam.
