[1.0] Miniaturisation

[hwfanatic]

Enables core game mechanics of miniaturisation for more than just furniture.
v1.0.0 update
Now with 100% more patching!



Introduction:
I like to build modular bases and most often than not I am re-purposing rooms as my base progresses. Moving production benches comes at a great cost without any practical reason, so I decided to create this mini-mod.

About:
The core game already has mechanics to allow for uninstalling/reinstalling (moving) furniture and some buildings. My mini-mod enables this mechanics for most benches and some other small buildings as well. That's it. No new mechanics. Pure XML. Full list of movable buildings:

TorchLamp
OrbitalTradeBeacon*
MoisturePump
CommsConsole
TableSculpting*
TableButcher*
HandTailoringBench*
ElectricTailoringBench*
FueledSmithy*
ElectricSmithy*
TableMachining*
ElectricStove*
FueledStove*
TableStonecutter*
Brewery*
DrugLab*
ElectricSmelter*
BiofuelRefinery
FabricationBench
SimpleResearchBench*
HiTechResearchBench
HydroponicsBasin
DeepDrill
PassiveCooler
Cooler

*) Movable in the vanilla game since B19.

Compatibility:
This mini-mod is 100% save game compatible as long as you do not leave any uninstalled buildings before disabling it or unsubscribing.

what does this mod do?

[hwfanatic]

Adds the ability to uninstall stuff other than just furniture and batteries. List included. Uses core functionality.

[notfood]

I needed this so badly. Thank you! Why can pawns move huge sculptures yet they couldn't move simple tables? hmm-

Under HardcoreSK these tables are really expensive to make, I hope this mod works with that pack. Next run I'm trying it.

[hwfanatic]

I am a beginner (and I also do not use mods that change Core significantly) so I haven't made such considerations yet. It would be interesting to know what you find out about (HardcoreSK) compatibility. I can tell you this: you should be able to safely enable/disable this mod as long as you do not save while there are uninstalled stuff lying around.

[Nemesis688]

I'm fairly certain it wont do to much for the HardcoreSk pack since the pack overwrites most (if not all) the vanilla items by adding new ingredients to the objects. I use the modpack myself but I've tweaked it a bit and one of the things I did was make just about everything minifiable.

[hwfanatic]

There you have it. Thanks for the info.

[hwfanatic]

Updated for A14.

[hwfanatic]

Released on Steam Workshop as well. Although, to be honest, if it weren't for the in-game option, I would have absolutely no idea how to do that.

About the code :
Have you consider to just add the minified tag to the Parents entity BenchBase ?

like this

Code Select Expand

  <ThingDef Name="BenchBase" ParentName="BuildingBase" Abstract="True">
    <castEdgeShadows>true</castEdgeShadows>
    <staticSunShadowHeight>0.20</staticSunShadowHeight>
    <minifiedDef>MinifiedFurniture</minifiedDef>
  </ThingDef>

That way each time the Game call Benchbase, they inherit the minified attribute. That's how i do in my game.
And i think that's how it's done in Core for FurnitureBase and HighQualityFurnitureBase in Buildings_Furniture.xml

Also there is a torch now in A14, it's handy to be able to move them too. And i personally added it to the comm. Console too

Man don't get me wrong i like the mod (in fact i was doing the same on my play since a while) and it's nice to share it

[hwfanatic]

Thank you very much for your input. I have considered it and have tried that in A13, but the game told me I cannot do it for abstract classes. But maybe I made a mistake the first time. I will try it again tomorrow. And the torch, too.

The reason I omitted CommsConsole is that it cannot be reinstalled in one step, but rather you have to uninstall it and reinstall it manually, which got me scared a bit about compatibility.

[hwfanatic]

Adding the node to the parent class does not have the desired effect, at least not for BenchBase. No errors or warnings raised, but no effect as well. I'm still trying to figure out what the difference is, but in the mean time my method, if not elegant, at least works.

[Dave-In-Texas]

great, i was editing the source files

[Porter]

was wondering if this could be applied to the 'cooler' (air conditioning) unit?

[hwfanatic]

It should be possible (basically for all buildings) but I will have to test it thoroughly to make sure it doesn't interact with walls in a weird way.
