Geothermal?

[Slowtapus]

Hey all. So I'm having a weird issue. When making a different type of geothermal, using the whole PlaceWorker_OnSteamGeyser, etc. it will always say the space is already occupied. Thus refusing to let you place it anywhere. This includes if I simply make a duplicate of the vanilla Geothermal and rename it.

This makes me think that there's somewhere in the code that is telling everything that it's fine that it's already occupied space (because it will be despawning the geyser when it places anyway) for the vanilla Geothermal but not for modded ones. Does anyone know where this might be or what the problem actually is?

Alpha 11b changed how steam geysers/geothermals check their restrictions.

PlaceWorker_OnSteamGeyser is never actually is called because the engine is now hard-coded to check for the geothermal plant earlier than when it checks the place worker restrictions.

However, Community Core Library has a place worker which allows proper placement on steam geysers.

What namespace/class is that check under? Thanks a bunch by the way!

See the geothermal plant in the CCL download.  It will show how to use it.


/Mods/Community Core Library/Defs/ThingDefs/Buildings_Power.xml

In the game engine, it gets checked in:
Verse.GenSpawn.CanPlaceBlueprintOver(BuildableDef newDef, ThingDef oldDef)

Really? I need to check on that!
