My new first small mod - Shallow Water Floor Tile

[Rune1993]

Please let me know if i haven't done this post rite for posting my mod i did put something at the bottom about using this mod for anything.

This is my first time actually making and posting a mod and posting it for this game its only a little mod i have learning difficulties so this was confusing and hard for me to do. I had some help from good person on reddit who did some code wont say the name since i dont know if they want me to say ile update with there name if they reply and say yes but thanks to him for the help.

This mod just add's shallow water as a floor tile you can place and destroy like normal it has the slowing effect as they walk through it even has ripples but does not act as a water supply tried using a water pump from another mod did not work with it.

It cost's 2 wood per tile dose not conflict with any mod that i know of docent with any of mine docent have a load order either so you can place where you want also it can be added to any savegame.

You can use it as moat to slow enemies a bit or if you like farming in game use it for a fake irrigation canal look in between farm tiles so on hope you enjoy let me know of any problems there should not be any ile try to fix if can.

Change Log -
I have updated the mod i added a new floor called fertile water you can grow crops on this one and it has 1.25 fertility between normal soil and rich soil.

[RawCode]

can be improved by _not_ adding unused (and obviously copyrighted) texture about 1200 times size of actual mod payload.

anyway, good start.

first thanks second what texture is that can i ask and if you mean the water itself its just using the in game water that the game devs used well i assume but that bit of code for the main file was done by another who helped me.

or if you mean the icon for the floor used in the floor menu in game that was already there i did not put that there and dont know how to change if it was a texture with black white and blue fish on that was made by me in paint 3D on my pc the fish were from it to.

Or if you mean by the preview pic and picture on the mod workshop page that was done by me to i just took pics in game you need to be more specific what texture it is please i have hard time understanding with my learning dificulties thank you.

Hi, i will be addng water terraform soon in this mod, so you dont have to do it. Also mod includes source code so you can study it to learn modding more. Your mod also contains a slight problem - adding costlist to water tile bumps up difficulty by increaing colony wealth on maps with water, so your mod is a trap

The first part i get is about your mod the second part about my mod being a trap i dont get i just wanted to place shallow water like a floor so i made it lol and i found it rather frustrating so for now wont make another again lol maybe another day and since i got it to work fine i posted it.

At first i just made it cost 1 wood someone said it sounded op costing that so i put it up to 10 i can always take the cost away make it cost no material to make or i can bump it up in how much it needs like 50 wood or something or make it need something els to build.

i mostly made this just so i can make my farms look like they have irrigation canals also couldn't find any other mod that had shallow water as a flooring. also just to say i dont think it actually counts as water in game i tried bad hygiene mods water pump it would not work near it or let me place it near the floor tile so dont think it counts  it as a water source so i dont think it can be used as water anyway.

if you want understand part about trap - generate a map with lots of water without this mod, lok at colony wealthand then turn the mod and look at colony walth again
Edit: ho i should download your mod? Yes i know about steamworkshop download, but what about other people?

For other people the topic How to download workshop mod's as non-steam user. is a sticky ! :-)
I rarely do any manual downloads anymore, since i can download and update mods with RimPy+SteamCMD.

I will try to upload it onto nexus mods and i asked someone who helped me with the code about what you said increase colony wealth witch funny thing is before you said about it did not know of it i game. Anyway he said to me - yea it would increase colony wealth slightly due to having a crafting cost however probably not much more than any other floor -

so he suggested i just lower the cost a bit witch i have done i lowered it to cost 2 wood instead of 10 per floor even though the reason for costing 10 in first place was i was told by another it costing the amount i had it at witch was 1 wood per floor was OP so i raised it.

Maybe you should think about to use Github/Gitlab for your mod development. Then other's can comment,suggest,download the project too.
People who just want to download it don't even need an account like for nexus.

i took a look at github i find it rather confusing to use or look at though this mod isent really a project as i have basically finished what i wanted to do with it though if i decide may change down the line or add something dont know.

but i think i did it rite dont know this is a link to it i think - https://github.com/rune1993/Shallow-Water-Floor-Tile---Rimworld-Mod.git

Not realy :-)
Since you arn't familar with github, you maybe don't know how people need to download it.
To get the stuff from the Main folder, you need to use Code/Download zip, then github put anything from the main folder into a zip and send it to you. So you have a zip in a zip ! :-)

You need to put the unziped content of your zip without the Modname folder at the main folder.
There is an option to made/upload a package which get pushed into the release part of your project.
Maybe take a look here
https://github.com/KiameV/rimworld-rimfridge/

But hey, many people use github at a different way, do whahever you like ! :-)
