Help / UI Mod for Operations - Possible?
April 13, 2020, 08:52:50 AM
Hello,

I am looking into the basics of modding for Rimworld, but I've found most of what I want to do tends to have something already out there.

One area that is sorely lacking is the surgery UI for installing parts - after a certain point, it becomes a convoluted mess to work through due to the number of options present (especially when adding mods like EPOE and Genetic Rim). Dub's Mint Menus helps alleviate the problem somewhat from a searchability standpoint, but still isn't ideal.

This is all a long winded way of asking - is it possible to override the Operations UI (or append to it)? My initial vision of this mod would be somewhat similar to the RPG style inventory mod, where you are given a visual display on parts making up the pawn, and can click into each piece for options to replace it, or operations that can be performed (e.g. right click the leg, get a list of leg implants and ability to remove).

I'd just like to know if it's even feasible currently before investing too much time into trying to make it, as I don't think I've come across anything quite like it yet.
