Adding Recipies?

[Adam561]

I am trying to add a recipe to a custom workbench that I added, How do I setup the Materials required and count? Note: I need to use 20 metal and 2 Uranium for the recipe

Help!

I'm not sure exactly what you need, so here's an example of a workshop and the recipes it uses.

This would go in the ThingDefs folder:

Code Select Expand


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Buildings>
<ThingDef ParentName="BuildingBase">
<DefName>ElecWorkshop</DefName>
<EType>Building_WorkTable</EType>
<Label>Electronics Workshop</Label>
<ThingClass>Building_WorkTable</ThingClass>
<Description>A work table equipped to turn metals into electrical equipent.</Description>
<TexturePath>Things/Building/TableElectronics</TexturePath>
<CostList>
<ResourceCost>
<thingDef>Metal</thingDef>
<count>80</count>
</ResourceCost>
</CostList>
<AltitudeLayer>Waist</AltitudeLayer>
<WorkToBuild>300</WorkToBuild>
<UseStandardHealth>True</UseStandardHealth>
<maxHealth>180</maxHealth>
<Size>(3,1)</Size>
<Overdraw>False</Overdraw>
<DesignationCategory>Furniture</DesignationCategory>
<Passability>Impassable</Passability>
<hasInteractionSquare>True</hasInteractionSquare>
<interactionSquareOffset>(0,0,-1)</interactionSquareOffset>
<itemSurface>True</itemSurface>
<recipes>
<li>MakePowerConduit</li>
<li>MakeSmallLight</li>
<li>MakeBigLight</li>
</recipes>
<inspectorTabs>
<li>UI.ITab_Bills</li>
</inspectorTabs>
</ThingDef>
</Buildings>


And this would go in the RecipeDefs folder:

Code Select Expand

Ummm not sure if i should be asking here, but just a small question, is there a way to make something require 2 resources to BUILD? Not a recipe, but i want something to require 2 resources to build

[Tynan]

Yes, just make two separate entries in the costList. Should work.

[SlimeCrusher]

Oh that explains everything, i wasn't copying the <ResourceCost>, i was just extending it lol.
Thanks again

[Adam561]

Thanks All!!

[Adam561]

For some reason my colonists are not crafting the items. I cannot prioritize my colonists to make the items using the workbench.

Do they have a WorkGiver which will use the bench?

[Adam561]

Yeah, Thanks. I found the WorkGiverDefs Folder and added it... Thanks again!

im trying to add a new recipe to the cooking stove i have everything right but from the ast few posts i have a workgiver problem and im not sure what to do

[Azuchisamurai]

just to give a bit more info, i have the things def done, the recipedef done, workgiver shouldnt need to be done since its a cooking stove recipe. i have added the work giver file as well to my mod but my colonists still ignore it, and i cant set them to prioratise the job and i cant figure out what the problem is

[Rikiki]

If the recipe is added to an existing workbench (cooking stove, butchet table, ...) then you don't need a new workgiver, the one from the core will do the job for you.

Have you put this in your recipe?

<recipeUsers>
   <li>CookStove</li>

If it does still not work, please post your xml code in a new thread so we can have more details.

tried adding it but im not sure exactly where im supposed to put it xD

You are lacking a <fixedIngredientFilter> and <defaultIngredientFilter>.
Please look at this thread.

The recipeUsers is well placed.

[Azuchisamurai]

when i had fixed and default in it just casued errors becasue they were identicle to the whole xml
