[NOW USEABLE OUT OF THE BOX]

Step aside peasants

I saw this Post and decided to find out how we can make our own motes. I did this live on stream so thank you to everyone who was there

NOW USEABLE OUT OF THE BOX WHATS IN THE BOOX?!?!?!?


Have fun

PS: I thought about making an easier integration but since you have to play around with the .dll anyways to throw the Mote its easier this way.

Added a Splatter Mote with blood and guts and all that fine stuff - Life on stream in over 6 hours thanks to everyone who was there

Call it from MoteThrower.Splatter(IntVec3 position).
Example Mote can now be called from MoteThrower.Example(IntVec3 position). Dont forget "using MotesTest;"
Also a mood diamond was added.

New PAWN CLASS: The motes are now useable out of the box!

Now available for Alpha 8!!

Hey everybody,

this is Eugenics my new mod. It adds colonist genetics and colonist breeding as well as genetic engineering.

Features:

Genomes - a whole new system - you can extract your colonists Genomes and alter them with a few machines. All those machines need some (500) power to operate and you need to man them (like turrets) to make them work. I added this to get some direct control over all this micro management. All Genomes spawn forbidden to add more control. If you want to forbid a machine (for now) you have to use the storage settings to toggle if a machine can take Genomes or not. I am currently looking for a way to make management easier.
Currently there is no research requirement for all this but I might add some requirements later.

Genome Extractor - extracts Genomes from colonists.

Genome Resequencer - copies a Genome.

Genome Splicer - recombines two Genomes to become a new Genome.

Genome Marker - marks random Genes in the Genome to become dominant (marked with an *) so when recombining Genomes this Gene will be prefered over the not dominant Gene. If both Genes are dominant no Gene is dominant.

Genome Incubator - breeds a Pawn from a Genome - at the moment this machine needs a corpse next to it in addition - a Pawn for a Pawn. This might change into a more sophisticated system later.


I understand that you need to get used to the micro management but Im working on a more direct command system for processing the Genomes but for now you need to micro manage with forbidding and storage settings. Please tell me what you think about it - all feedback is appreciated.

Have fun breeding your own Super Colonist.

Thank you very much Jabbamonkey for all those wonderful textures - you da real MVP

Oh and.. the backstory thing is a bit broken because the bodyType is read from the backstory so I had to make it "unsaveable"

Hey guys,

I have a quick question: I need to read out the contents of a storage building which is 2x1. At the moment I use

Code Select Expand

public IntVec3 slot1
        {
            get
            {
                return this.Position;
            }
        }

        public IntVec3 slot2
        {
            get
            {
                IntVec3 toreturn = this.Position;
                toreturn.x += 1;
                return toreturn;
            }
        }

        public bool slot1Full
        {
            get
            {
                foreach (Thing thing in Find.ThingGrid.ThingsAt(this.slot1))
                {
                    if (thing.def.defName.Equals("genome"))
                    {

                        this.genome1 = (genome)thing;


                        return true;


                    }
                }
                return false;
            }
       
       
        }


        public bool slot2Full
        {
            get
            {
                foreach (Thing thing in Find.ThingGrid.ThingsAt(this.slot2))
                {
                    if (thing.def.defName.Equals("genome"))
                    {

                        this.genome2 = (genome)thing;


                        return true;


                    }
                }
                return false;
            }


        }     

but then I noticed that this might be a problem if someone rotates the building Is there a way to return a List<IntVec3> of all cells occupied by that building no matter what rotation or do I have to write it myself using the rotation property of the building?

So I have seen this on Tynans Twitter and played a bit with Google Trends:



These are the web searches over the last year and we see a correlation. I would assume that those games have the same target audience (surprise ) and that the fanbases of those two games overlap. Dwarf Fortress is in the lead by about double the search queries. This could result from a higher popularity of Dwarf Fortress but we will look at the details a bit later.




These are the YouTube searches over the last year. We see a completely different thing. On YouTube queries Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld are on par and since August-September RimWorld is in the lead. People rather want to watch RimWorld than Dwarf Fortress. I assume RimWorld is more fun to watch than Dwarf Fortress.




Detailed queries for RimWorld. The top queries are "gaining general information" and "getting the game". While "wiki - how to play" and "I want more fun - mods" are a little bit behind. The relative high amount of mod queries makes me assume that there is a high "searching -> playing -> modding" conversion rate which might show a high consumer binding to the game. People want to keep playing after the base content is done. Also the high amount of "torrent - pirating" queries could lead to the assumtion that people want this game no matter how. "Its worth to be pirated" - which could be taken as a compliment.



Detailed queries for Dwarf Fortress. The absolute top query is wiki! You absolutely need the wiki to play this game. Far behind are mod queries and also the "Lazy Newbs Pack" which eases the handling and tweaking of the game a lot. The lack of "torrent" queries is because Dwarf Fortress is free and the lack of evidence isnt an evidence for its non existance so no assumptions about the quality/demand can be made because of this. Not much else to see here.



Detailed YouTube queries for RimWorld. Virtually all queries are on "general information" or "general gameplay". This makes me assume that people want to see the game because they want to judge its quality before they purchase or because they want to see other people playing it. This is simmilar to the overall web searches.




Detailed YouTube queries for Dwarf Fortress. The two top queries are "tutorials" and "gameplay". Similar to the web searches - people generally dont understant the game and NEED tutorials.


RimWorld queries - general information and modding. Dwarf Fortress - how the f do I play this??

Lets have a look at the nature of those queries. Wiki queries are made because there is a problem or a lack of knowledge during gameplay. This can happen more than once or twice or even more than 100 times so every other problem people engage during the gameplay results in a query. General information queries are made because people want to know the game in general and I would say after one or a few queries this problem is solved. Mod queries act in a similar way because once people downloaded what they were looking for or found a good source for mods the mod problem is solved as well and will unlikely result in more queries.

Wiki searchers produce a significantly higher amount of queries per user than general information or mod searchers.

CONCLUSION: The fact that Dwarf Fortress has double the web search queries than RimWorld but on a topic (wiki) which produces a lot more queries per user and taking the assumption that the fanbases overlap I would assume that RimWorld despite of the smaller amount of total queries has a larger fanbase and consumer attention/popularity (in Google and Youtube searches) than Dwarf Fortress. Looking at the total amount of YouTube queries especially since August-September supports this. RimWorld is gaining popularity faster than Dwarf Fortress.


TL;DR - RimWorld is more popular than Dwarf Fortress in Google and YouTube searches.

Hello everybody,

I made a funny little tool which allows us to create Texture Packs as easy as drawing textures. You ever wanted to create a Texture Pack but didnt know how? - No problem! The only thing you have to do is to make your textures and throw them in the TextureNurse "Textures" folder - TextureNurse will do the rest. No need to change any Core files or special folder structure. To customize the name or description of your Texture Pack just change the About.xml.

The TextureNurse comes with a few default textures made by jabbamonkey

UPDATE:

TextureNurse now works on ALL things that use singleTexturePath. It now supports uiIconPath and bluePrintGraphicPath. So it should work on ALL single sprite texture buildings and buildings which use different textures for icons and blueprints.
Multi textures now supported: ANIMALS WOHOO!! Should work on all multiGraphicPath things but didnt test too much.
ResourceReadout now uses the proper textures of the resources.


TextureNurse still doesnt work on Humans because I cant figure out how the textures are processed by the Verse engine. Also multisprited textures (ie. walls) dont work because of the same reason. (they MIGHT work but I couldnt test them due to the lack of latest texture format so I left them out)

Hey everybody,

my new mod adds jewelry to the game. You can craft your own jewelry from Plasteel, Gold, Silver and Metal in different qualities for trade. I planed to make the jewelry wearable but had to postpone it because of "technical difficulties" with the job drivers. I might or might not add it later. (ThoughtDefs and Predictates are already done so its rather likely).

This mod is a proof of concept to add quality, different materials and kinds of Things with only a few ThingDefs and Textures - which were as always "borrowed" from the internet. If there is any need or demand for quality of items in the game I could try to expand the system to the whole game. Urist McLawyer told me that I should insist that no copyright shenanigans were intended

Hey guys I need some more help -.- Looks like the equpment class was a failure and I need to make my own jobDriver now.. The problem is that I cannot make any FloatMenuOptions. Im using this little snippet stolen from the Comms_Console class as a test

Code Select Expand

class jewelclass : Thing

    {
        public override IEnumerable<FloatMenuOption> GetFloatMenuOptionsFor(Pawn myPawn)
       
        {
            FloatMenuOption item = new FloatMenuOption("y u no work??", null);
            return new List<FloatMenuOption>
{
item
};
       
        }
   
   
    } but it doesnt show me a FloatMenu on right click. Do I have to specify something like overDraw or drawOnGUI or anything else in the thingDef?

I need to define a Thing on runtime which works great but I have the problem that it wont take the thingClass. Im trying

Code Select Expand

   tospawn.def.thingClass = typeof(Equipment);
tospawn.def.eType = EntityType.Equipment;
tospawn.def.equipmentType = EquipmentType.Secondary;


and if I Log.Error those fields I get the correct contents but my thing is not equipable by my pawns What am I doing wrong? It doesnt seem to be the equipmentType because I tried it with Primary as well.

[FAQ - Fing Annoying Questions:]

Hey guys,

I recently saw some mods overwriting Core Definitions to add Recipes. This can be "dangerous" for other mods and break them if they use Core data and should be avoided. So I wrote this small "mod"/tool.  You can integrate it into your own mod if you like (credit provided of course ).



NEW RECIPE NURSE!!

UPDATE: Finally Alpha 8 is out - red debug messages removed btw



Hey listen - theres an UPDATE!

The new version of Recipe Nurse completely rules out the need to add medical recipes to the Human definition! You only have to define your RecipeDef as usual and the New Recipe Nurse will collect all medical recipes (for now recipes that use the <workSpeedStat>MedicalOperationSpeed</workSpeedStat> which should be used by all medical recipes anyways) and inject them to the Human definition. This should be easier to use and implement than the old Recipe Nurse. 




Technic stuff:
This mod creates a UnityGameObject through an ITab injection (thanks to EdB btw) which calls recipe injection on Start() - this is to make sure all Defs were loaded before the injection.
Feedback is very appreciated.

FAQ - Fing Annoying Questions:



Q: I cant do any operations.
A: First of all - do you meet all requirements (medicine, part, pawnwith doctoring skill, etc)?? Try to restart the game and deactivate conflicting mods. I guarantee that NewRecipeNurse is perfectly working so the error source is either the user (usually), other mods (sometimes) or the core game (the restart issue/ALWAYS RESTART!).

Also I wont give support if you wont give a proper error log, description of the error, complete mod list and description of what you did before the error occured anymore. If I can not reproduce your "error" its not an error.

Hello everyone,

this is Blood Pact - my new mod. Its built around the Blood Pact which is some abstract chaotic power based on blood and death. You can severe dead bodies for blood and skulls and sacrifice them to the Blood Pact.

Sacrifice system: give sacrifices to the Blood Pact and strengthen your bond with the chaotic powers. You can sacrifice blood, skulls, Blood Leaf and corpses to gain Pact Strength. The more Blood Sigils, Skull Piles and Blood Ivy (only grows on Blood Fields) you have the stronger your bond gets -> more Pact Strength per sacrifice. Pact Strength can be used to pray for gifts like XP in a random skill or even a steam geysir which needs a LOT of Pact Strength and a Ritual of the Geysir. More to come.

The Blood Sigil: followers dedicated to the Blood Pact wear a Blood Sigil which grants them special traits but there is no return. Pacta sunt servanda!
PORTED TO ALPHA 7!
I didnt test anything though because I was too upset

UPDATE:
Armor, weapons and factions as well as a dynamic alignment system based on the buildings and Blood Ivy on your base. Unfortunately you have to create a new world to register the factions. Im sorry about this



New Buildings:
The Chop Block - low tier worktable which allows your colonists to chop off heads from corpses.
The Skull Altar - the main building of the mod. Your colonists can severe bodies for skulls and blood, sacrifice and pray for gifts.
Skull Pile - a pile of skulls also acts as storage for skulls.
Blood Sigil Painting - the Blood Sigil painted with blood.
Skull on a Pole - self explanatory.
Pact Forge - craft your armor and weapon there.
---
new Items:
Jar of Blood - human blood from corpses.
Human Skull - a human skull.
Blood Sigil - the mark of the followers of the Blood Pact.
Blood Leaf - the leaves of the Blood Ivy
Blood Pact Powerarmor - a powerful armor for your cultists.
Nailer - a powerful rapid fire weapon.
---
Stuff:
Blood Ivy - only grows on Blood Fields
Blood Fields - soak the earth with the blood of your enemies. This cursed land is very fertile.
Rim Marines and Blood Pact Rim Marines - the soldiers of "good" and "evil" whoever defines what those are.


Although I put a lot of work into this mod it is more or less a proof of concept and is not performance optimated. I never had any problems but the mod uses "some" foreach loops and "not so elegant" Unity Engine tick updates. So please report any problems you may experience especially on huge maps - I will work on the tick time some time soon(tm).

Hey everybody

Im trying to make a furniture which gives thoughts to pawns around and Im horribly failing. I tried a few approaches but none worked.

1st I tried to hijack the ThoughtGiver with public Thought GiveObservedThought() - I copied it from the Gibbet_Cage AND from the Corpse class but none of them seem to work for me.

2nd I tried to add thoughts via pawn.psychology.thoughts.TryGainThought() - works fine for other classes but doesnt do anything at all in my building also I cant find any override like: Observed() or something.

3rd I tried to implement it in my global observer class and defined IntVec3s via GenRadial.RadialCellsAround() but I couldnt find a (memory saving) way to get Pawns in those IntVec3s or the cells within the IntVec3s.

4th I tried <InspectedDirectThought> out of desperation. Guess what happened.. Nothing.

Share your thoughts. Maybe Im just stupid and dont see the solution.
