Every time I try to directly patch one of those abstract defs that multiple defs use as a parent I get an error. Is there some technique for patching these or are they just unpatchable?

How is a patch that changes a def's parentname supposed to be formatted and is such an operation even possible?

is there anyplace where I can see a list of statdefs such as negotiation ability, aiming time, etc. the way they are named in the code?

Is it possible to increase the texture scale of wounds like bandages or missing eyes with xml patches? Where exactly in the core folder are the defs of those stored, if at all?

Let's say I want to use the FindMod operation

<Operation Class="PatchOperationFindMod">
      <mods>
         <li>Ideology</li>
      </mods>

How would I format this if I wanted to have it require both ideology and another mod to activate?

After trying to add subcategories like <texpath> to a def with no graphicData category I realized that adding those categories is something I haven't done until now

I tried adding it like this but I'm guessing that this does nothing. What is the correct way to patch <graphicdata> into a def?

<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
                  <xpath>*/ThingDef[defName = "ExampleDef"]</xpath>
                     <value>
                    <graphicData>
                  </value>
             </li>

There's this mod called "Diseases+". The mod makes some changes to vanilla diseases including the following patch:

<Operation Class="PatchOperationConditional">
      <xpath>*/HediffDef[defName="Malnutrition"]/comps</xpath>
      <nomatch Class="PatchOperationAdd">
         <xpath>*/HediffDef[defName="Malnutrition"]</xpath>
         <!-- comps нет -->
         <value>
            <hediffClass>HediffWithComps</hediffClass>
            <comps>
               <li Class="RimCore.DiseasesGeneratorA.HediffCompProperties_DiseasesGiver">
                  <minSeverity>0.4</minSeverity>
                  <needTicks>180000</needTicks>
                  <hediffDef>TP_Stomach_Ulcer</hediffDef>
                  <partsToAffect>
                     <li>Stomach</li>
                  </partsToAffect>
                  <countToAffect>1</countToAffect>
                  <letter>true</letter>
               </li>

I want to make a patch that changes that minSeverity value. That's all. Is that possible to do with a patch? What xpath do I have to set?

I am making an xml patch for LWM's deeps storage for personal use. So far most of the patching works, but I got to a part that got me stuck.

First thing is I'm trying to add a new ingredient to an existing deep storage def. I tried using the code below but it seems to be wrong. No idea why

                       

<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
                       <xpath>Defs/ThingDef[defName="ExampleDefName"]/costList</xpath>
                 <value>
                 <ComponentIndustrial>1</ComponentIndustrial>
            </value>
                      </li>

Second thing is I want to patch the storage capacity, but I have no idea how to go about it since it's a custom class and my best but still wrong guess would be something like

<li Class="PatchOperationReplace">
            <xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="ExampleDefName"]/comps/maxNumberStacks</xpath>
            <value>
               <maxNumberStacks>6</maxNumberStacks>
            </value>
             </li>

any help is welcome

I want to create a building with two comp classes
I want it to have both:

<li Class="CompProperties_Explosive">
and
<li Class="LWM.DeepStorage.Properties" >

is that even possible? Can I make a deep storage building that explodes on destruction??

My electric smelter doesn't seem to be working. I've been checking the restriction options for half an hour trying different configurations, but it just refuses to execute the smelt weapons bill. All it says is "cannot smelt weapon: need material". Even if I allow everything, it still doesn't allow the bill to be made. That same bill smelted dozens of weapons with no problems just a little earlier in my play-through.

what is the minimum age that a colonist can get pregnant, and is it tied to the vanilla game's set adult age? If it is, then are there any mods I can use to lower the adult age?
