Refuelable object not consuming fuel

[Manofdusk]

 I've been working on a different mod today and got it (mostly) running. It's a type of soil that needs to be "refueled" with compost (I had to categorize it as a production building because you can't refuel a terrain type  )

The problem is that I can't get it to actually consume the fuel.

any ideas on how to get it to consume fuel?

Use Normal tickertype, not Rare.

Have you made your own C# class? In your .XML it says that your thingClass is Building_PlantGrower.cs so I'm assuming you have...In this C# class you'll need to do a few things:

Directly inside of the class you'll need to define

Code Select Expand

private CompRefuelable refuelComp = null; refuelComp can be any variable name of your choice.

Next you'll need to edit/create a SpawnSetup override with the following:

Code Select Expand

public override void SpawnSetup(Map map, bool respawningAfterLoad)
        {
            base.SpawnSetup(map, respawningAfterLoad);
            refuelComp = base.GetComp<CompRefuelable>(); // This is the part you need to take note of
        }

Finally, in your Tick() override and after any other code you've got, you'll need to add:

Code Select Expand

refuelComp.ConsumeFuel(Float [Amount]);

For example, if you'd like the building to consume 1 fuel every Tick then that'd become:

Code Select Expand

refuelComp.ConsumeFuel(1f);

Hope this helps. If you've not made your own C# class then I don't know and ignore everything I just said haha.

 Nope, I'm not advanced enough to figure out how to make C# classes yet. The PlantGrower class is from the Hydroponics basin (I basically fused Hydroponics with the Campfire )

However, I'd very much like to learn how to do my own C# classes
