The easiest way to change that would be to go to the "Buildings_Security.xml" file under the path "Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\Core\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings" and directly change the <turretBurstCooldownTime> in row 221.



On a sidenote, someone on the forum has advised against directly changing things in the core because that can lead to incompatibilities with other mods. I'd guess that directly changing the cooldown of a mortar isn't exactly that gamebreaking, but how would you implement this change otherwise?

I mean, the <turretBurstCooldownTime> is defined in the <ThingDef Name="BaseArtilleryBuilding" ...>, so I can't just smack a file in a mod that says

Code Select Expand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Defs>
   <ThingDef Name="BaseArtilleryBuilding" ParentName="BuildingBase" Abstract="True">
     <turretBurstCooldownTime>3.5</turretBurstCooldownTime>
   </ThingDef>
</Defs>

because there ALREADY IS a <ThingDef Name"BaseArtilleryBuilding" ...>.

Sooo, how do you add a file that changes a value by editing only this value for an existing def?

Sooo, how do you add a file that changes a value by editing only this value for an existing def?

You can't do that with xml. You'll have to copy-paste the whole def, change that one line, then make a mod for it if you don't want to edit Core files. Incompatibilities would be an issue only if you radically change an existing thing in Core. A simple cooldown timer change shouldn't be a problem. It is best to always make a mod for whatever changes you want to implement simply because screwing up the Core too much leads to reinstallation (unless you have a backup copy of your Core, obviously) and it's a lot easier to manage a mod with a few files than to remember which files you changed in Core.

Since your mod changes an existing thing it'll be incompatible with any other mod that changes the same thing.
